EP36 - Can you be ANGRY and KIND?
August 10, 2020 16:39 - 18 minutes - 25.8 MBhttps://stevenwebb.com/patreon For most of my life I have been encouraged to suppress my anger. To let it go, move on and forget it. And I guess that makes sense because being kind is very often better than not being kind. So in this podcast I discuss whether or not it is possible to be angry, to make a difference and use that anger to be progressive but also be kinda the same time. I answer the question 'Is it possible to be angry and also be kind?'
