Colin Gleason on Listening to Our Boys
It’s true: we talk too much. And we know that just one more brilliant lecture from us will not solve our boys’ every problem-but we can’t seem to help ourselves.
This week on HeightsCast, lower school head Colin Gleason takes an intentional look at how we as parents and educators engage our boys, and how we might do better. The conversation reminds us that parenting is relational, not a delivery system, and that ultimately we want to keep the lines of communication open.

Joe Cardenas and Nate Gadiano on Living Simplicity
มุมมอง 113หลายเดือนก่อน
Advent invites us to reflect on our Christian disposition, oriented towards peace, hope, joy, and love. St. Josemaría Escrivá was known to summarize that disposition by calling it, simply… “simple.” In The Way, he praises the apostles and St. Joseph for imitating Jesus himself in being simple. And then he exhorts us: “May you not lack simplicity.” Heights faculty Joe Cardenas and Nate Gadiano j...

    Aristotle would say Chewbacca obviously has a soul. Not sure why that's even a question.

      Haha, agreed. But I guess the question might be whether or not he possesses a rational soul on the same level as a human being? A question for George Lucas, perhaps.

    "He loves his own wife." vs "He loves his friend's wife." English can have clarity also.

    • @kennyobi9871

      Of course it can but that’s not the argument being made. The problem is that English allows imprecise sentences in the first place. Latin pretty much forces you to say it the right way, which makes communication more precise. It removes the possibility of a potential error.

    Actually, English is one of the few languages with this ambiguity in the first place. Other Germanic languages (Scandinavian, German...) also have different possessive pronouns for each of these cases.

    • @antiplusch9381
      @antiplusch9381 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      no. "Er liebt seine Frau." is just as ambiguous as "he loves his wife." "seine" and "his" is the same for both cases. "seine" could be just as well the wife of the guy over there. of course in german and english it almost never matters, because context clears things up.

    • @hlorii6598
      @hlorii6598 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @antiplusch9381 ok. Admittedly German is not my string suit. But in Norwegian it would be "Han elsker sin kone" about his own vs "han elsker hans kone" about some other guy. Similar in Swedish and Danish.

    Never in my life did I think of that sentence as He loves that guy's wife....so it should be He loves his own wife.

    • @theheightsforum9056
      @theheightsforum9056 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Just use "suam uxorem amat" to be safe.

    • @zyrohnmng

      He loves his wife is perfectly fine. It will be clear in context.

      I'm finding Dr. Baxter increasingly fascinating and helpful. Thank you both for presenting this. I can't really get my mind around it, but through two of Baxter's books, I've found myself bouncing between this very accessible, popular level conversation about the deepest stuff, and actual dives into those depths. It's dry and easy one minute, then awe inspiring, ineffable the next.
