Building on the conversation from last week about compassion and empathy, Zi and Vindesh discuss how the little acts of sacrifice are often missing in our lives. These acts of choosing an intimate moment with a partner over a game on tv, going to work knowing that your children will have a better future, or exercising in favor of watching Netflix contain so much more than we think. When we can knowingly give something up despite our desire not to, we become lighter. Zi breaks down his experience of how sacrifice enriches his life and fortifies character. Our ancestors have struggled and fought to get us to where we are today. Now more than ever, we need the sacred fire.
