Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

Dennis and Julie delve into thoughts versus actions.  Dennis had a realization in Demark… are people that are taken care of by the government happy or just content?  Julie is doing her utmost to live a completely honest life, but obeying traffic laws/signs when no one is around, and white lies may be inevitable.  Happiness requires effort… no pain no gain.  Fun is what you experience during the moment… happiness is what you experience after the moment.  Julie has discovered that developing an internal infrastructure helps lead to happiness.  The greatest generation didn’t pass on the values and wisdom that they lived by.  The deadening of younger generations began last century with the advent of television and the unleashing of social media on society.  Dennis recalls one on the most memorable calls of his career, which leads him to clarify that God judges your actions, not your thoughts.  Listeners responded to acknowledging your “dark side,” from episode #36.  You control whether your thoughts become your actions.  Dennis clarifies some fundamental differences between Judaism and Christianity.  Judaism brought laws and judgement of actions to humanity, while Christianity brought faith and judgement of thoughts.  Men lust… those who say they don’t are lying to themselves.  Dennis learned at an early age that the will to do bad, leads us to do good.  Do Christians really believe Dennis is going to hell?

Dennis and Julie delve into loneliness and finding kindred spirits.  Dennis discusses his trip to Denmark.  Julie shares her transition from college to professional life.  How many books have you read since being in school? The best way to solve loneliness in life is find good people... it's more important than being surrounded by lots of people.  Finding meaning in life is more important than amusing one's self.  Amusement is the enemy of deepness.  Dennis has the revelation that he is an "explainer" in life.  Your strength is also your weak point.  The key is to strengthen your weaknesses and not rely on your strength. Parenting matters... there is no perfect way to parent... you must do what's right.  Trying to make your kids happy or trying to be loved at all times... is not right.  Acknowledging your "dark side" and not acting on it... is a key to happiness.   Learn more about Lear Capital at http://learjulie.com.

The Republicans went into last night very optimistic; they left depressed. The “Red Wave” didn’t happen… We are truly divided nation.
