What is possible when human suffering goes unattended? More people are going to suffer and human beings will be divided more than ever. I talk to my buddy from Poland and we discussed the pandemic situation and political issues in Poland that are very similar to what is happening here in the US. The fact that we are so far away but are experiencing the same things is a testament that no one in the government is our friend. We need to think about what is happening for our kids and their future.

This podcast is a safe space for different opinions and thoughts to be shared and discussed. This is actually a basic tenet of what being a human is and we are going to practice that in The Human Condition podcast. With that said, today was a discussion around the presidentiables, our thoughts, the research we’ve done, our beliefs, and who we were going to vote for.

This was a very interesting, eye-opening and humbling conversation on racism and the trauma that it invokes. We wanted to make space and talk about this topic even if it’s a hard one. But guess what? It needs to be discussed and it needs to be shared with everyone who listens to this podcast. We don’t walk the same shoes, so it’s always good to be able to hear it from people who have experienced the trauma of racism.
