Description

In this episode, Christian and I discuss “The Life You save May Be Your Own” by Flannry O’Connor. Among the topics we discuss are why we repeatedly do things even if we know they are the wrong things to do, what is the source of guilt, to what degree does potential guilt play into our decision making, hypocracy, why we are quick to judge others, why we expect others to behave a certain way when we don’t hold ourselves to those standards, the nature of guilt, and being attacked by a chicken.
