In this conversation, Jacob and Scott take a deep dive into forgiveness. Does everyone deserve forgiveness? Is it a necessary part of healing? How do we (if we even want to) forgive the unforgivable? Scott shares his process of finding forgiveness for the man who killed his parents, and by doing so relieving himself of years of rage, hatred and blame. The friends talk about the path to forgiveness, the unhealthy pressure to forgive, fake forgiveness, and self-forgiveness. It’s an incredibly powerful episode focused on one of the most provocative and important subjects out there.
Here’s what Scott read, by Mark Nepo:
I have seen myself doing what was done to me,
never as cruel or as harsh.
But it has been enough to make me tremble at how easy it is
to be cruel when afraid, and how difficult it is to accept
that we are all capable of terrible things,
and how cleansing it is to realize that
true kindness breathes just beneath this acceptance.
