All of these issues need to be addressed, but some of the responses have been a bit strong,

1:32.1

and when this happens, we enter into what some call the cage stage.

1:36.1

Cage stage is when someone comes to a new understanding that is helpful for them

1:56.9

2:06.4

immaturity and perhaps pride. We don't want to armchair,
