Covers Chapter 4 of The Way of Kings from the Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson.
Kaladin’s conversations with Syl and Tvlakv inspired our discussion on bitterness and how to handle that feeling in our own lives. Using Syl’s questions as a guide, we view this chapter through the lens of a parable and ask ourselves why we cry.
This episode contains a very brief mention of suicidal ideation.
