Lynn Underwood answers questions from the audience following her Chautauqua lecture: What’s Love Got to Do With It? July 2024:
0:07 How do we move people to compassionate love when we can’t even manage civility in our public square?
0:56 Would compassionate love allow us to forgive the shortcomings of our institutions, religious or otherwise, in order to preserve the benefits of collectivity?
1:30 What do you think about euthanasia? Is this compassionate love? Why do you think there’s such resistance to this concept?
3:10 How do you show compassionate love in the midst of true conflict?
4:21 What do you think the relationship is between delight, awe, and love?
5:58 Can we love despite our mixed motives or along with them? If a limited or transactional love is just the best we can manage, should we give up?
6:57 How do we encourage people to see love as an infinite resource? How does compassionate love for one’s self mesh with the usual definition of unconditional selfless love?
9:20 How do you balance between scientific measurement and emotional feelings?
