Today, Brandon and Ruben are both coming to you from sunny and hot Southern California. First, we discuss the option of suicide as the ultimate freedom. When is the time right to exercise that option, if ever? Is suicide an easy way out of responsibility for those who commit heinous acts? We all have it in us to do the most atrocious acts. This we both truly believe. Freezing under fear. Fear paralyzes us, for good reason and bad. It keeps us from getting involved in dangerous activities, yet can also cause us to not take necessary action in a situation in which we already are in danger. Denial plays a role in this. Living in the present and planning for the future. Too much of one and not enough of the other makes for a detrimental situation. Balance must be struck. Brandon's sage advice: Run your own race at your own pace—in response to responding to external pressures. Setting unrealistic expectations for today's youth through entertainment. Communication and its affects on a lasting relationship. It is becoming a less common skill in todays disposable and transient culture. The future of hyper-nomadism will likely only make this trend worse. Currently, we live in the age of being offended. Our egos are inflated to the point where we do not tolerate differences in opinion, and we choose to become personally offended over these differences. We should embrace and love human variety.
