It Hurts--But Only Briefly
Manage episode 332251648 series 2795091
Great saints and modern psychologists agree that our lives work best when we pull off something that, technically, might be anti-human: hurting whenever we hurt, but not anticipating some future challenge or pain. As Jesus teaches, animals are good at that; people not so much. So how do we pull off this most-important thing? And what does it get us if we do?
Mentioned on this podcast:
Understanding the Mysteries of Human Behavior, The Great Courses course by Mark Leary, of Duke University
