Two Elephants in the Room

The actions we take every day have an effect, on us, those around us and the world in general. How do we effect change? This leads to accountability, to oneself first and foremost and others. Let us know your thoughts. twoelephants.theart@gmail.com Lekker week-end everybody. Rehaan & Theart

We are such stuff as dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded with a sleep. - William Shakespeare Happy Friday. Rehaan & Theart

"The pursuit of happiness" is at the centre of American democracy. Is this not a fallacy? Should it not be, a life lived in the pursuit of meaning? We discuss. Your thoughts are welcome. twoelephants.theart@gmail.com Please share this podcast with family and friends, if you find value in it. Happy Friday EVERYBODY. Lekke' week-end for all! Awê. Rehaan & Theart

Success is something most, if not all of us hopefully strive for. How we measure if we are successful at life is up to each one of us. What does it mean for you and what makes you successful? Happy "Multi Religious Festival Week-End" everybody! Follow Your bliss! Rehann & Theart

There is only one planet, for now, that we humans can live on. We treat our only home like a dumpster. We disrespect her and think we can do with her as we please. The soil under out feet is sacred and it is time we all treat it as such. Happy VERNAL EQUINOX EVERYONE. Winter, here we come! For all living things in the Southern Hemisphere that is. Have a good week-end. Rehaan & Theart

THIS AND THAT! 52 episodes and one year later. Been a journey. Thank you to all those who have supported us. . . . and for the feedback. (Albeit few and far between) ONWARD and UPWARD! Let's see where we go next! Theart and Rehann

In a world where our attention is constantly under attack, how do we choose what to participate in? Participation is key to having influence and influencing change. In an election year, what does this even mean. In our every day life, what are the impacts of choosing to participate or not? Have a lekker week-end everybody! I hope you spent your extra February day productively. Piele! Theart &...

This episode is not about the poem. Read it however, for context of the discussion. This is the Elephant. The Hollow Men - by T.S. Elliot Mistah Kurtz-he dead A penny for the Old Guy                         I     We are the hollow men     We are the stuffed men     Leaning together     Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!     Our dried voices, when     We whisper together     Are quiet and meaningle...

It is a phrase that allows one to pause for a minute and think about what you've heard someone say. Something to ponder. The food we eat is also for thought, and our stomach is also our second brain. We discuss this and ponder, leaving you, hopefully, with food for thought. Have a lekker week-end everybody. Election year. Stay sharp! Madness all around us. Thear and rehann

We have all fallen victim to emotional blackmail! It is a cruel tool used by those who want to be in control of you, always! They are sneaky and relentless pulling out the old "Emotional Blackmail Card" (EBC) whenever they need you to feel less than. Currently even the President of South Africa is doing that. Sad really! Have lekker week-end everybody. Theart&Rehann

Every day we go through this world facing all kins of challenges. We attempt to manage our risk profile. Is is possible in an age of constant upheaval and change? Is the world going crazy? Six Nations starts today. Happy February! Theart and Rehann

People say the stupidest things. Leaders, politicians, people you work with, family, friends. Even we ourselves do. Sometimes. Quotes are the essence of that. Little tiny pieces of wisdom in a nutshell. We share our favourites. Australian Open Finals this week-end. Lekker na-week everybody! Theart and Rehann

What we often want is not what we actually need and visa versa. How do we know what it is actually what we need? Why do we want what we want and what does a balance look like. When our political overlords decide for us, is it what we need or is it what they want? Enjoy the Australian OPEN. HAVE A LEKKER WEEK-END! Theart and Rehaan

The modern myth that we should be multitasking is just that - a myth. There are people who believe they are champion multitaskers. Which is best, focus or multitasking? 2024 is starting to bite! Lekker week-end everybody! Theart & Rehann

Since the very first fable we have had to choose. By eating thát apple we discovered the knowledge of good and evil. Dare we say, it's been downhill from there. :) The big experiment continues - here we are in 2024, choices to be made. For change we hope. For better. Happy 2024 everyone! May it be a good year. Yes, just a GOOD year. Theart& Rehann

Imagine a world without numbers. How would that work? Almost the end of the crazy year. Have a lekke' week-end! Theart and Rehann

What are we grateful for? The end of 2023 is here. For the western calendar. We review. Have a lekker week-end. It has been quite a year. Theart & Rehann

Relationships. Unless you are a recluse living in a cave in the mountains you are in a relationship with someone. Family. Friends. A spouse. Colleagues. People in public. They are complex and often beset by conflict. They can also be uplifting and inspiring. As long as humans walk the earth, they will be involved in them. Happy Friday everyone. Have a lekke' week-end! Awê. Theart and Rehann

Travel. From the dawn of time it's what humas have done. We have the innate ability to get up and go places. We are driven by it and we expand our horizons because of it. But it can be an inner journey as much as an outer one. Why do we do it? What is the result? Where to next? Mars? twoelephants.theart@gmail.com Have lekker week-end. Theart & Rehann

Mother Nature. Was there before we came along and will be there long after we have all left. She never waivers, always producing. Throughout time immemorial. How do we relate to her, treat her and what if she finally gets tired? HAVE A LEKKE' WEEK-END EVERYBODY. Theart and Rehann.

We are all going to die someday. Where were we before we got here and were are we going? The biggest question and mystery of all time. Perhaps we do know, but we have just blocked it from our minds. Perhaps there is nothing. Time will tell. twoelephants.theart@gmail.com Happy Friday everybody! Theart & Rehann

NAFI. No ambition, fuck-all interest. Numbness. Vacuum. Listen. Let us know. twoelephants.theart@gmail.com Theart & Rehann

What is loss? How do we define it, relate to it and how do we cope with it? It is a fact that we will lose in life. Whether it is a job, a loved one, a relationship an opportunity. Given the new trend that "everyone's a winner", how does that impact on society and how do we deal with loss. We will eventually even lose our own life. No one here gets out lave as Jim Morrison WROTE/SAID...

I remember being told by my parents that I was not the only person on he planet. They made me acutely aware that there are other people to consider around you. Being mindful and aware is a crucial skill we as adult humans need to have. It seems however that people are becoming less aware and mindful. Me, myself, I. twoelephants.theart@gmail.com. We are the champions . . . , well in rugby at least....
