I’m tired of always doing the work—of being kind, thoughtful, and forgiving—especially when others don’t seem to care. In this episode, we explore the resentment that can build when you’re the one always trying, and what Buddhist teachings like the Simile of the Saw, the Eight Worldly Winds, and the Dhammapada say about staying true to yourself when the world feels unfair.
