Episode notes
Sin and Alienation
- Sin involves alienation from God, causing shame and self-consciousness.
- This alienation makes us hide from God, like Adam and Eve after eating the forbidden fruit.
Shame and Misery
- Shame and self-consciousness lead to misery, as seen in Adam and Eve hiding their nakedness.
- The best moments in life are when we are least aware of ourselves, lost in an activity.
The Shame and Blame Game
- Alienation leads to shame, which then leads to blaming others for our unhappiness.
- This shame and blame game is evident in online interactions.
