Ep18: Exploring The Social Conditions for Forgiveness

In the intro segment reminiscent of My Brother, My Brother, and Me, Bob and Dave issue a moratorium on singing until listeners send in song suggestions (send them in!).  The Crew gets into the theme of the week: forgiveness, which is a part 2 of the theme from last week, letting go.  Although forgiveness can’t be forced, U.S. culture seems to teach children and everyone else the opposite.  Based on psychological research, the brothers suggest that we might work on the social conditions that lead to forgiveness rather than simply pushing people to forgive.  

 

Bob enjoyed Bear Lake so much it made him float.
