Can You Forgive Them? | Watching the Wise

<p>“They hurt you, your parents. Everyone’s did. Some in big ways, some in small ways. It’s just a fact. As the poet Philip Larkin wrote, <em>‘They f**k you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to, but they do. They fill you with the faults they had and add some extra, just for you.’”</em></p><p>Ryan discusses the universal damage that parents do to their kids, why we should do our best to forgive them, and reads <a href='https://geni.us/Onv46'>The Daily Stoic</a>’s entry of the day, on today’s Daily Stoic Podcast.</p><p>This episode is brought to you by <a href='https://drinklmnt.com/dailystoic'>LMNT</a>, the maker of electrolyte drink mixes that help you stay active at home, work, the gym, or anywhere else.
