This episode is about inter-generational scarring, how it's possible to come to terms with it — and how to be aware of the risk that it can cascade through the generations if left unresolved. The challenges experienced by those with disrupted childhoods can result in undesirable coping strategies and constant struggles to prove one's worth. Adam Cox discusses how to contend with the absence of guidance or role models, using the imagery of the tesseract (the generalization of a cube to four dimensions: a concept in geometry and mathematics that serves to illustrate higher dimensions. Tesseracts are a way of showing how the fourth dimension relates to the third). Image source: Wikipedia

Caring for others, dealing with emergencies or tough times can drain a lot out of people. As Adam Cox says, you can't keep pouring from an empty cup. So this episode highlights the importance of self-care — making sure you re-build those resources and that confidence to keep going. It's about allowing the body and mind to heal: you can't make a long journey without fuel in the tank! Loving your neighbour as yourself means you need to take care of yourself in order to do your best for your neighbour: it works both ways.

However, if those inspirations are accompanied by a 'What if?' mindset, there's a real possibility of holding on to that initial purpose and finding ways to achieve it.

Original Broadcast: Thought for the Week
Pixar's 2008 computer-animated movie 'Wall•E' paints a depressing picture of the Earth laid waste by a combination of consumerism, corporatocracy, proliferation of waste and human environmental impact. Just fifteen years later we see this spectre emerging in front of our eyes. But is science the answer, as put forward by Lord Rees in his book 'If Science is to Save Us'? We suggest that the problem is deep-rooted in our unbridled self-interest, and that only a genuine re-building of care for others, including our neighbours of tomorrow, can save us from these horrendous consequences.
