[Previously re-recorded September 24, 2018] Strength & Challenges, Cognitive Distortions, and Witch Hunts and Common-Humanity.
Taking on three bad ideas:

* Challenge makes us weaker.
* Always trust your feelings.
* Life is a battle between good people and evil people.

Answers, insights, and commentary on:

* Fragility versus Strength and Growth
* Purpose in Suffering

* Comparing Diana & Clark upbringing

* Mindfulness, Automatic Thoughts, Reframing
* Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
* Cognitive Distortions - illustrated by DC films
* Tribalism & Witch Hunts - the persecution of Superman
* Common Humanity - DC Bridge Building
* Superman Suicide Prevention

Three antidotes:

* Prepare the child for the road, not the road for the child.
* Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own thoughts, unguarded.  But once mastered, no one can help you as much, not even your father or your mother.
* The line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being.
