ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
In this episode I read The Wild Swans by Hans Christian Andersen and reflect on the more obvious moral and social ideas it includes.

This episode is much longer the first largely because the story is much longer, but also because the idea I'm thinking about is much more nuanced.

This episode is about the light and dark sides of our nature and the pursuit of a virtuous life. The light vs dark nature is illustrated by The Shadow by Hans Christian Andersen and I talk about it in the context of the stoic ideas of pursuing a virtuous life.
