Episode notes
Violence Through Shame and Fear
- Social violence often manifests as shame and contempt in our personal thoughts and speech toward others.
- This violence originates mainly from our own fear and vulnerability that we are unwilling to admit.
Our Brain Craves Difference
- Humans are neurologically designed to engage with difference, not sameness, for flourishing.
- Excessive sameness leads to boredom and interpersonal challenges, contrary to common social comfort zones.
Start Repair with Relationship
- Begin repairing ruptures by engaging in simple relational acts like inviting for a conversation or a porch sit.
- Move slowly and with humility, focusing on witnessing genuine presence and relationship building.
