Tamang Usapan (usapang may tama)

Tamang Usapan o usapang may tama. Heto ang podcast ni Lennon at Russel. Isang online space ng kwentuhan ng magkaibigang maraming gustong sabihin. Minsan tama madalas may tama.

”What is love?… I wanna know,” yan ang sikat na kanta ng TWICE (best girls, I tell you!). Pero, ano nga ba talaga ang love? Madaling sabihin, mahirap unawain. Minsan nga iba-iba pa pagkaunawa natin eh. Kaya in this episode sasamahan tayo ng mga philosophers like Plato, Arthur Schopenhauer, the lovers Peter Abelard and Hëloise, and CS Lewis to reflect on the nature of love. Totoo bang may ”soulmates”? Baka naman fraud lang ang love? Hanggang saan ang dapat mong isacrifice for love? What are the types of love? Tama na basa, makinig na. Go!
