Happy Pride month!!!
In this week’s session we talk about the rule ‘We encourage each other with kind words’
Through attempting to grow the impulse to be constructive in criticism and to be their own cheerleaders, Bob invokes the mantra of Mama Ru: “If you can’t love yourself, how the hell are you gonna love somebody else?!” Does that seem wise?
How can we show children what we mean by encouragement and kindness? Does Selena Gomez hold the answers?
Is honesty a valuable form of kindness, and how close to someone should we feel before we can be ‘honest’ rather than ‘sugar-coat’ things?
There are good examples to attempt to answer this, from Zizek, Jeff Ross and Robin Tran
When we think about encouraging others – what do we think we should encourage them to move towards? Doug Stanhope may hold the key…
