In this episode of the Wisdom Podcast, host Daniel Aitken speaks with Koshin Paley Ellison on the subject of forgiveness, asking what it means to hold ourselves and our loved ones accountable within a broader framework of compassion. Koshin asks: how do we come to see that every individual has some level of innate goodness, some innate capacity to wake up, even while also being capable of doing bad things? Koshin also addresses helpful ways of framing difficult conversations, and how an honest exchange, even when challenging, can yield even deeper connections with the people in our lives.
