In this episode, we look at chapter 60, which has several very different ideas all smashed into one. I'll start with a meditation on the nature of our relationship to the "ghosts" in our lives - the people who try to bring us down. The rest of the episode is divided into a few parts:

1. "Ruling a nation is like cooking a small fish" - the importance of non-meddling in leadership
2. "Give evil nothing to oppose, and it will disappear all by itself" - is evil an actual force to be contended with, or simply a bending of the inherent goodness of the universe?
3. "No longer haunted, but whole" - dealing with the ghosts of trauma and pain that haunt us
