In this podcast we discuss a short moral essay of Samuel Johnson. In the essay, a narrator, who was once poor but now is rich, desires to return to his hometown and treat with condescension those who once viewed him with disdain. His scheme of petty revenge, however, does not play out as he wishes. We discuss why, and what the implications are.
A reader is experiencing some difficulties in his job search. He just graduated from a respected degree program, but job opportunities are hard to come by. His morale is sagging, and he's not sure if he should stay in his desired location, or look elsewhere. We discuss.
There are times when we try to share fond memories of the past with friends, family, or former lovers. Yet, we often find that these nostalgic recollections are not acknowledged or reciprocated as much as we would like. We may feel emotionally spurned, or shut out. Why is this? We discuss
A reader is upset that his girlfriend has broken things off. He believes that his behavior was the cause of it, and has been trying to repair the perceived damage. He wonders if there is something he could have done, or should have done. Nothing is working out, however. We offer some opinions about the situation.
In this podcast we discuss H.G. Wells's fable "The Beautiful Suit." It was originally published in 1909 under the title, "A Moonlight Fable." You have probably never heard of the story, but it imparts a powerful message. What does it mean? What is the author trying to communicate to his readers? And what lesson can we take from the tale, and incorporate into our own lives?
Recent events have prompted some reflection on general principles of conflict. In this podcast we discuss ten of them.
In this podcast we discuss love, sloth, and free will in the context of Canto 18 of Dante's "Purgatorio." What is the nature of love, and how does it affect our souls? What is the true meaning of sloth? What place does free will have in our lives? We explore these questions.
We begin with a few recommendations on books and resources to use in understanding Dante's "Divine Comedy." Then we switch gears, and get into the meat of the podcast. It seems we become substantially different people every seven to ten years, more or less. We may feel self-conscious or uncomfortable about the things we said, wrote, or believed when we were younger. Is it normal to feel this way? And is it better to preserve a record of one's thought, or to renounce beliefs one no longer holds? We discuss.
