The Moral Imperative to Do Good

As a parent, there are many responsibilities and priorities to juggle. However, being busy does not excuse ignoring long-standing societal injustices and moral obligations. Even amidst the daily demands, it is crucial not to turn a blind eye to what is wrong in the world. The podcast emphasizes the importance of recognizing that we are all interconnected as fathers and mothers. The tragic examples of George Floyd, Sandra Bland, and immigrant parents separated from their children highlight the need for empathy and action in the face of injustice. It is wrong to ignore what we know is wrong, and as parents, we have a moral imperative to be and do good for our children, as well as for others.

Ryan explains why social ills can't just be ignored on today's Daily Dad Podcast.
