03. Why do we judge others?
Summary
Cynthia wonders about things that matter and how it's determined what matters and what does not. She shares a poem from one of her books, "Bully! The Big Book About Bullies and the Bullied", which features illustrations by her son, Dr. Kent Gustavson, and an introduction by her husband, Dr. Ed Gustavson. After the poem, she observes how people are treated differently not only because of their skin color, but also age, gender, ability, and the family you came from.⚖️ How do we judge what matters and what does not? 01:21
