When life’s storms come, we’re taught to stand our ground — but what if real strength isn’t in standing still, but in learning to bend?
In this episode of The Daily Morningcast, host Alex Hill explores the timeless Zen proverb:
“The bamboo that bends is stronger than the oak that resists.”
Drawing from the philosophy of Zen, Stoicism, and Buddhism, Alex shows how flexibility isn’t a form of weakness — it’s a strategy for survival.
Through the lens of Everything Everywhere All at Once, you’ll discover how Evelyn’s breakthrough moment—choosing compassion over control—mirrors our own path to resilience.
