#6: Nothing lies here but bones
In this episode, I talk to my friend, Ameen.
We talked about two philosophies, hedonism and stoicism. We talked about their origins and how they can be applied to our daily life.
About halfway through the conversation, Ameen shares a personal story of how stoicism has helped him cope with some of the tragic and emotional moments of his life working as a medical doctor.
We decided to name the episode "Nothing lies here but bones" to remind ourselves that we have a tendency to take life more seriously than it really is.

#1: Discussing the race issue, George Floyd, and Black Lives Matter
I talk to one of my closest friends from university about race issues. He and I often talk during the weekends just to chat. This time while we were chatting I found myself learning a lot from him about racism and the history of it. So we moved our conversation from Whats App to Anchor to record it as a podcast. Unfortunately, I was not able to record most of the conversation about the history of South Africa and apartheid. So this episode begins when we pivoted our conversations to the protests that are currently happening in the United States.
Please note at the start of the episode, I go into a monologue as we pivoted to talk about the protests. But it becomes much more of a conversation after that. I honestly learned a lot, so I really hope you enjoy listening to our conversation as much as we enjoyed having it.
As we discuss in the episode, one of the most important things that are happening right now is the dialogue. We are all taking the time to talk about these issues and think them through ourselves. This is extremely powerful.
