Life serves up discomfort to us in many ways. At times we've all avoided challenges in order to escape the stress that goes with feeling uncomfortable. This week's episode examines how our struggle against discomfort can cause additional suffering in our lives.

Healthy discomfort on the other hand tends to be a more open, willing, and engaging way of managing what is already present.
Do good things only happen to good people? Do bad things only happen to bad people? And are all honorable actions eventually rewarded?

To be honest, I'm not so sure where I fall with this belief/hypothesis? Nonetheless, in this episode I try and make sense of the Just World hypothesis, while leaving you with a few thoughts to ponder.
