The Spiritual Perspective

In this episode, Light breaks down w...

We’ve all been there.

You’re going through something hard.

And someone hits you with:

“Everything happens for a reason.”

Or…

“Stay positive vibe.”

Or…

“You just need to let it go.”

You’ve asked not-so-nicely.

You’ve journaled, meditated, and maybe even forwarded them that one relationship reel.

But somehow, your partner still isn’t getting the hint. It’s like they’re resistant to changing.

And they get defensive or shut down whenever you bring it up.

That’s what makes it so frustrating when someone doesn’t, especially when they follow someone like Andrew Tate.

We roll our eyes.

We say, “How could anyone believe that?!”

But here’s a hard truth:

The people who follow him— they’re not crazy.

They’re just programmed diff...
