Ep 6 - Existential Crisis

CONTENT WARNING: We talk about death and touch on suicide in the episode. If either of these subjects would trigger you please avoid this episode, otherwise, please listen with a calm and open mind.

In this episode we tackle the most fun of all topics, DEATH, and the subsequent fear that comes along with it. We talk about what it means to us and how we each deal with the idea, hoping that you can take something from it.

The 4 pillars show us that we are part of a collective, and allow us to feel purposeful on a humanistic level:

These are examples of how they show up in our daily lives:

Continue the species - Being a parent, guardian or teacher, finding love and courtship.

Master our mind (Personal development) - Philosophy, Psychology, Education and even media, i.e. teaching something to someone.

Master our environment - Creating or working at business, protecting your environment, advances in science, making a home, gardening and preventing illness or accidents.

Increase our satisfaction - Doing things that bring you joy or expand you i.e. finding community in religion, learning about or creating a culture, and experiencing and appreciating art.

This shows that you have influence and meaning just through your regular lives.
