There is a lot of \u2018surface tension\u2019 in the media today -- social and mainstream. Lots of polarity and opposition about intense topics.
\nAnd it bothers me. Because it paints the picture that there are only two sides to any issue. And that\u2019s just not true.
\nWe (as individuals and society) have to look beyond the \u2018surface tension\u2019 of topics to the underlying problems and underlying causes of those problems.
\nThere is so little we know \u2014 we as a society, (and especially \u2018we\u2019 as in Greg & Rachel). But we do know that \u201cas the area of your knowledge increases, so too does the perimeter of your ignorance.\u201d
\nTo have more peace in society \u2014 and to find more real, lasting solutions \u2014 we have to learn to look past what we THINK we know to what we might not know that could be true.
\nIn this episode, we walk through the process of learning to look BEYOND the \u2019symptoms\u2019 to the root causes of the disease in society that plague us.
\nWe discuss the problems with a \u2018symptom management\u2019 based focus on issues \u2014 not only political and societal but familial as well.
\nAnd we cover some potential solutions that are psychologically, scientifically, and religiously supported.
\nDon\u2019t miss this potentially controversial episode!
