About this episode

The episode explores the concept of chasing after unnameable desires that do not lead to fulfillment.

Welcome back to Daily Wisdom. There is also a kind of chasing that does not really bring us closer to life. It moves us, but it does not nourish us. It gives us direction, but not rest. It keeps the body active and the mind alert, yet somewhere inside, we may feel that we are running after something we cannot quite name.
