About

An old quote of mine reads, “More than being identified with the victim in your story, be identified with the observer of it. The latter is closer to the truth.”In this episode of The Unlearning Playground, I expand on what I mean when I say this.Like most of my everyday-life advice episodes, this one is also centred around wisdom that’s applicable to and is pragmatically focussed on our day-to-day lives.And you’ll also see why this is quite a necessary collective message for our times too, because if you look closely, we seem to be collectively rigged by this virus of victimhood.If I was to summarise the need for this episode and the message therein, I would summarise it in this beautiful quote whose author I am unaware of, "If you don’t heal what hurt you, you’ll bleed on people who didn’t cut you."Tune in to the episode to know more and know better.And please don’t forget to like, share and subscribe and leave a rating/review for the podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.I’ll see you in the playground.Until next time.Peace out.<Outline>(00:00)    Prologue(00:39)    We are all humans, and victims at times(01:45)    Why unlearn victimhood?(05:24)    Our boundaries matter, and how(07:42)    A very important lesson for our time(09:59)    Internet & victimhood(10:46)    A beautiful Zen proverb(11:12)    Closing--------------Check out all of my work on my website -https://chetannarang.org/For one-on-one personal sessions for philosophical mentorship & counselling with me -https://chetannarang.org/nondual-philosophical-counselling-mentorship/Connect with me, Chetan Narang, on Instagram here -https://www.instagram.com/nrng.chetan/Checkout The Unlearning Playground YouTube channel here -https://www.youtube.com/c/TheUnlearningPlayground--------------Credits for the beautiful soundtracks:"Dreamer" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)"Reaching Out" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
