Episode Description:

In this episode of his podcast, host Neil Gorman delves into the subjective experience of time and reflects on his own emotional and cognitive journey from youth to adulthood. He discusses the shift from anger and judgment in his younger years to a more compassionate and understanding outlook as he grew older. Neil revisits previous themes, references the poem 'The Prophet' by Kahlil Gibran, and shares insights about the natural progression of becoming a steward of the world. He also discusses the contrasting paths people may take as they age—either moving towards compassion or becoming increasingly bitter. Join Neil as he explores the complexities of time, growth, and the importance of compassion.

Warning:

This episode is a self-referential reflection, where I revisit some of the themes from prior episodes. It is very rambly, so if you like that kind of thing, you'll like this one. And, if you don't like rambling episodes, you should probably skip this one.

Themes & Returning Themes: 

• Dwelling in the house of Tomorrow when you're young, and moving out into the world of the present.
• The shift from being one who is going to inherit the world to someone who has inherited the world and is now a steward of that world.
• The loss of youth, the future, a large stack of tomorrows.... This makes some people soften and become more compassionate, and others harden and become bitter and brittle.
