Show Notes

In a world driven by technology and fast-paced trends, it’s easy to feel like creativity has lost its place. As I reflected on this question—Am I foolish to be a poet in the 21st century?—I realized that poetry, music, and storytelling are timeless expressions of what makes us human. While AI can generate beautiful lines, it will never replicate the emotion, chaos, or soul that fuels genuine creativity. It’s not about following the latest trends but about tapping into something deeper—our shared humanity.

In this episode, we also explored the proverb “Out of sight, out of mind.” This saying rings true in many situations, where distance and absence allow us to move on from certain thoughts and emotions. However, it also has its dangers, as we sometimes neglect important relationships, tasks, or even our long-term goals when they’re not right in front of us. Finding balance is key—letting go when necessary while staying connected to what truly matters.

The episode continued with a thought-provoking look into the just-world hypothesis, a psychological concept that explains why people sometimes believe that others “deserve” their misfortunes. We often fall into the trap of victim-blaming as a way of comforting ourselves, believing that the world is inherently fair. However, recognizing that life isn’t always just allows us to cultivate empathy and offer more meaningful support to those who suffer.

Finally, we discussed self-esteem—the foundation of personal growth and the key to reaching our fullest potential. Self-esteem is not only about how we feel about ourselves, but also the fuel that powers us toward self-actualization. Without a strong sense of self-worth, it’s easy to hesitate and doubt. But with healthy self-esteem, we can confidently pursue our goals, even in the face of challenges.

This episode is packed with insights that encourage us to embrace creativity, reflect on our beliefs, and build the self-esteem necessary for personal growth. As we navigate this fast-paced, tech-driven world, it’s important to remember what truly makes us human—and to keep creating, dreaming, and striving for greatness.
