    EP61 - When is crying ok? | Ben Franklin - “We hold these truths to be self-evident.”

    Let's get into crying. Part of the anti-masculine movement is to promote more emotion from men. Is that a good thing? What does a man look like who does cry often? Should you, as a man, allow yourself displays of crying? Does a lack of crying show a man as uncaring? R&B also gets into self-evident truths, such as what Ben Franklin wrote in the Declaration of Independence. Look out for the following episode about truth and the nine veils. ------ Subscribe to our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@randbtalks Check us out on Instagram: https://instagram.com/randbtalks?igshid=MmIzYWVlNDQ5Yg== Check us out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100095476576481&mibextid=LQQJ4d ------ For citation and reference: Leo Newhouse, LICSW - March 1, 2021 - Is Crying Good for You? https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/is-crying-good-for-you-2021030122020 Susan Krauss Whitbourne PhD, ABPP - August 13, 2019 - Is a Good Cry Really Good for You? https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/fulfillment-at-any-age/201908/is-a-good-cry-really-good-for-you Tina Gilbertson LPC - June 16, 2014 - Is Crying Good for You?

    Join Reggie and Brian as we discuss the 2024 presidential election and the attitudes, anger, and what is not being communicated between the right and left appreciation for immigrants. Yes.

    An old interview was recently rewatched with Stephen Fry, who was interviewed by Gary Byrne on Ireland's National Public Service in 2015. In that interview, Stephen Fry says some pretty outlandish things about and to God. So, Why evil? If evil exists, does that mean God is evil? Is there a purpose for evil?
