Day 394 - Kratos and Fatherhood

January 20, 2022 15:51 - 5 minutes - 5.37 MB

Kratos feels like a black father from a generation or two before me. The world and his journeys have hardened him, and he does not know how to display affection to his young son. Playing this game alongside reading "All About Love" by bell hooks is going to be an amazing experience.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/max-worthington/support

January 20, 2022 15:40 - 5 minutes - 4.97 MB

In perspective of playing the new game, I got to thinking of how lonely it must've been for Kratos in the original trilogy.

Day 367 - Getting Past the Reason to the Doing

January 02, 2022 13:07 - 6 minutes - 5.78 MB

I think spending time getting to the why, is extremely important. Like why do you do the things that you do or have the thoughts that you have. Some of the answers have been extremely interesting, some have been frustrating to come to grips with, some have separated me from others. Now there comes the point of doing. Making plans to cut away things that may not be best for where you are going or this version of yourself. Some things you may keep hidden away, other things you try to burn away...

My wish is that we start to see the humanity in people again in this next year.

Day 363 - What Happens When the Entity is the Community

December 31, 2021 14:03 - 5 minutes - 5.05 MB

When an entity becomes community instead of being part of a community, individuals that do the work can suffer when they are cut off from the entity. This happens because there is no support from the other parts of the community. Sometimes the person is told that they other parts of the community are evil and that they should not associate with them, which I believe is a disservice to the individual.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/max-worthington/support

Day 357? - Faber's 3 Points - Action Steps

December 24, 2021 16:26 - 5 minutes - 4.98 MB

 Being able to do the things that I read about, or make the personal changes through new information that I receive is something that I have learned to appreciate the most this year. The right to take action on the quality information that you've read, and the leisure to actually let it digest is a difficult space, but also a good place for grounded growth and change.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/max-worthington/support

Day 356? - Faber's 3 Points - Leisure

December 24, 2021 16:17 - 5 minutes - 4.77 MB

Having the time to actually think about what you're reading, without the opinions of others at first is so necessary. We are in a space where if we read something, the first thing we want to do is share it, whether that be online or in person. I've had the opportunity to sit with the things I've read, in pensive silence, and it's helped me to not only figure out how this works in my own life, but also how properly to share it with other.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spoti...
