Ep 86 | These Four Words Will Really Ruin Your Life

On this show, we discuss the things you really care about. Like a foul-smelling bubble of noxious gas rising up from a cesspool, four hideous words coming out of your mouth, or even lurking in your heart, can ruin your life. Those who allow this toxic phrase into their lives can survive only by resorting to the narcotic of the lazy mind: slogans. They end up like the oh-so-very progressive Seattle woman, Emily, who couldn’t force herself to feel attracted to her boyfriend who dressed in ladies’ frilly frocks. The secret of beauty—What distinguishes beautiful faces from ugly ones? Even tiny babies prefer beautiful faces. Who is to blame if you save too little and spend too much? The TSA is bigger than many well-known American cities and does very limited good. Going through a TSA checkpoint is like the final stages of a bad marriage—Too much intimacy with too much hostility. Who is to blame if you eat too much and exercise too little? How Christianity spread across Europe in the middle ages and banished barbarism from Rome. The great naval battle of Lepanto on October 7, 1571 that ended Muslim sea power in the western Mediterranean. The best thing to do today that will ensure tomorrow being much better than yesterday.
