About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges of forgiveness and reconciliation in a vindictive online culture.

If you do or say something stupid - something that YOU post online or something captured on someone else's phone and posted online, YOU are in serious PERIL. That's because nothing you do or say will cause the people of the internet to forgive you. They will DEMAND that you demonstrate the appropriate sorrow and humility - and that you are held accountable for what you said or did. But no amount of contrition will EVER be enough. In our world of vindictiveness - the call to forgive and to be reconciled is worth heeding. If anything, ALL of our relationships need more forgiveness and reconciliation - not less.
