Send us a textThe River and the WindA conversation between belief and doubt, between the man who trusts the unseen currents of energy and the stranger who clings to the weight of choice. On a quiet street, two lives intersect—one carrying a sign proclaiming destiny as a myth, the other grasping at the threads of free will. Their words tumble like a river meeting the wind, twisting through the timeless questions of agency, responsibility, and the meaning of control.What if our lives are not driven by our choices but by unseen forces moving us like leaves in a storm? And if that’s true, what becomes of blame, of forgiveness, of the courage to begin again?A stoic lens sharpens their dialogue, weaving ancient wisdom into modern uncertainty. “Man is disturbed not by things, but by the views he takes of them,” wrote Epictetus. Yet what happens when those views collide—like two strangers on a winter street?This episode invites you to linger in the in-between, where certainty dissolves into wonder, and answers are as fleeting as the wind itself.#CopinghagenPodcast#StoicPhilosophy#TheRiverAndTheWind#EpictetusWisdom#MarcusAurelius#EnergyAndDestiny#PhilosophyOfChoice#HumanAgency#ResponsibilityAndFate#AncientWisdomModernLife#DeepConversations#ExistentialQuestions#FreeWillVsDeterminism#StoicismExplored#WisdomForLife#MindfulDialogue#TimelessPhilosophy#ReflectiveListening#InnerStillness#PathToUnderstandingA copinghagen production https://copinghagen.com/10/
