The guts of this man to share his pain so that others can understand it is commendable. Real men take responsibility for their actions, and fix it.

Anthony also goes into the importance of forgiveness, and equally important, the importance to apologize and take responsibility when you do wrong.
2022-08-0333 minLife Talks PodcastEpisode 19: Thomas Andrew - Stories, Archetypes, and the Transcendent - The importance of faithIn this episode with Thomas Andrew we speak about the foundations that hold society together are much deeper than we realize. These foundations are archetypical meaning an idealized model. This idealized model can be referred to as the kingdom of heaven. This heaven will be realized when enough of our collective seek it first, then act on it as they understand it. We must first realize we have all fallen short of this ideal and when we recognize this internally, we have the capacity to truly forgive. Essentially we don't come to this ideal without failing forward.
