I try not to push one podcast episode over and over, but Lex Fridman’s conversation with David Wolpe on Judaism got me through mountains of dishes and laundry today.
The conversation is wide ranging and enlightening.
The only whole heart is a broken one because it lets the light in.
-David Wolpe
I wouldn’t be much without my broken hearts. I feel like I’d be a shell without the broken mind I experienced after losing my wife.
Brokenness is scapegoated for our frailties and flaws, yet it allows us to let light into places that were walled off. Our tragedies, whether self-inflicted, perpetrated against us, or random, teach us more about ourselves than otherwise possible.
