After listening to Episode 7 of Mitch Albom's podcast from Dec, 2019, I realized that some of the things he said about forgiveness were true and I actually agreed with a few statements of his. I agreed that you should forgive yourself and forgive others rather than holding grudges or holding whatever they did to you until you or that person pass away, you´ll never know the possible true feelings it caused. I also agree with that if we just apologized to the person, it would save us so much time to be with them and be grateful to still have them rather than be angry at each other for years. Lastly, I agree with him on where he talked about how you should never think that just because of the amount of times you've apologized or tried to reach out, it will change everything and make them forgive you.

I read "Week 26- OPM2 Being Present and Giving Others My Attention" by - Jeff Bryan and I connected with him on a few points he made. I connected with him on how teens and adults nowadays are becoming more depressed than usual because of peoples phones and sometimes how negative the are, For example, sometimes I scroll down instagram and I see a few negative posts that I end up reporting so that it gets taken down so no one gets hurt or feels less by it. I connected with him on how it is important to focus on your relationships with people and how the relationships can help you feel happier, focusing on things, and have more empathy for situations. For example, I try to talk to my mom a lot so that we have a good connection with each other but to me, it doesn't really feel like one. I also try and not pay attention to somethings that people post because a lot of things are negative and toxic nowadays. Lastly, I connected with him on how if we put the phones down or use them less then it will hopefully bring the depression rates low and bring society closer together. I believe that society has a problem with not being able to communicate and not be negative towards each other. It's very important for us to start creating relationships with people and focusing on them and try to keep them happy and healthy.
After listening to this podcast, I have agreed that with as much oppressive stuff that is happening in today's world, you sometimes have to drown it out with the positive because you don't always need negativity in your life. I have also agreed with unleashing your curiosity because sometimes people just hold it in and keep it inside and are just stuck on wondering about that certain thing instead of figuring it out. It may seem scary to some people but it is always good to try things and finally get rid of that curiosity. I lastly agree that almost anything that a person does that is unique or different they get criticized for it because people don't like different or think it's too weird so they make fun of people for it. Sometimes people make fun of unique or different things that people do and then end up doing it themselves.
