Summary

Is it really "darkest just before the dawn?" And if things need to get worse before they get better, isn't a step in the wrong direction actually a step in the right direction? Wouldn't an optimist hope things get worse so they can then hit rock bottom and start the process of getting better? Isn't "hope" the thing that keeps the losing gambler at the table until all is lost? I discuss these and other uplifting questions in the 50th ROMA episode. Pour yourself a beer and join me.

Music: "Civilized to Death," by Jack Stafford; "Carefree Highway," by Gordon Lightfoot.

When we surrender to be in the light we lift up the ocean and try to come see in the world of events our lives were a dream.

4:46.0

I considered myself better than competent on the sexual front, but as soon as I saw those lessons, I was like, oh yeah, I've been missing a major part of how this works. It was immediately obvious how much I had been over focusing on certain aspects. Perhaps you get my meaning.

5:06.0

Yeah, I get your meaning. Sexuality is easy to get confused with because men make the assumption that women think like men and women make the assumption that men think like women and of course we don't.

6:41.0

I don't know if it was a guy or a woman who it was, but I imagine it was a young guy and he said, has anyone else gotten the feeling that Chris has kind of gone off the deep end lately as far as the sky is following the world's about to end?
