Ken Briggs ~ 'JR Morning with Guy Gordon

We discuss rule number one in Dr. Jordan B. Peterson's book "12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos." The rule is "Stand Up Straight with Your Shoulders Back."it seems simple, but there is a lot to discuss in this chapter. What do lobsters have to do with human confidence? Do  men need to be dominant to get the girl? What about women? And most importantly why do we need to to follow laws and rules in the first place? What if we just "live and let live." In this we will bring up a famous poem by AE Housman, "The Laws of God, The Laws of Men,"The laws of God, the laws of man,     He may keep that will and can;     Now I:  let God and man decree     Laws for themselves and not for me;     And if my ways are not as theirs     Let them mind their own affairs.     Their deeds I judge and much condemn,     Yet when did I make laws for them?     Please yourselves, say I, and they     Need only look the other way.     But no, they will not; they must still     Wrest their neighbour to their will,     And make me dance as they desire     With jail and gallows and hell-fire.     And how am I to face the odds     Of man's bedevilment and God's?     I, a stranger and afraid     In a world I never made.     They will be master, right or wrong;     Though both are foolish, both are strong,     And since, my soul, we cannot fly     To Saturn or Mercury,     Keep we must, if keep we can,     These foreign laws of God and man.
