Manage episode 440292165 series 3498921
We've all been well trained in the rules of the game we all know. We've been taught to be dutiful children, loving siblings, tolerant friends.
But when some of us realize that we've outgrown the status quo, it can feel like an act of rebellion and revolution as we transform the rules of a system that no longer works for us in search for a more authentic way of life.
