Episode: How to forgive
Pub date: 2021-07-12

Notes from The Audio Browser:

Erudite conversation on grudge-holding and forgiveness. Elizabeth Bruenig of The Atlantic argues that contemporary society currently has no viable template for atonement: once someone has owned up to a mistake and made amends, there is no route to forgiveness or continuity with their persona before. In the age of social media, we lack a recognition of our moral frailty

Vox's Sean Illing talks with Elizabeth Bruenig about how hard it is to forgive, how to balance our desire for justice with our humanity, and about how the age-old moral framework of forgiveness has met new challenges in the modern forum of social media.
