Restrictions Apply

About this episode

The episode discusses how restrictions can lead to a dignified life, using the example of King Charles to illustrate the concept of higher standards in royalty.

Restrictions don't just have to be stifling they can also be dignifying. Most of us associate prohibitions as something which deprives us of a life of freedom. Like, why cant I just do what i want?! If you were to observe the lifestyle of King Charles , it will appear to you as if the king has no freedom. He cant bring muddy boots into the palace, He always has to dress perfectly. Such a lifestyle seems unbreathable. But you know that the King's life is far from a stifling life, so how do you make sense of your observation…
