Free Thinking
As part of 蜜芽传媒 Radio 3's festival of ideas, Free Thinking, The Essay plays host to writers reflecting on freedom.
4/4. Richard Rai O'Neill reflects on the Romany philosophy of freedom, both the ideal, and the reality.
Richard's grandmother taught him that a Romany life was about Freedom in order to enjoy Health and Love. Richard explores a more pragmatic aspect to Romany philosophy, which is if you're having a tough time financially, it's time to move on to a different place, as a new place brings new luck.
