Episode #264 – January 10, 2026 – “I feel like the destinies of those meant / To be the best / Are in the hands of liars now the world is on fire”

Our title today comes from Ay-Shay (an African musician) from her song “The Way I Feel” whose words really struck me this week, some of the other lines from this song are:  

I feel like I'm not the only one who's frustrated 

I feel like something's goin' wrong, I can't escape it 

I feel that the destinies of those who are meant to be the best Are in the hands of liars

Now the world is on fire 

- Asa, The Way I Feel
