Remember a Hallmark card when you carry enough to send the very best. Neil Van Heflin in Forward the Nation on the Hallmark Playhouse in Outstanding Stories chosen by one of the world's best known authors. The distinguished novelist, Mr. James Hilton. Ladies and gentlemen, this is James Hilton. Tonight on our Hallmark Playhouse we tell you one of the great stories of this country. We tell you of a time not so many years ago when there were still frontiers to be reached and conquered. And when those frontiers were of rock and ice and sand. We tell you of a time when the adventurers were hearing the challenge of a dream. The dream of a united America stretching from ocean to ocean. Two young men whose names were Lewis and Clark accepted this challenge. And it is of them that we tell tonight, basing our story on the novel by Donald Kauros Petey called Forward the Nation. A title that fitly symbolizes the American dream of those days. And the dream which should still be ours for tomorrow. To star in Forward the Nation tonight we are happy to have with us again that fine actor and always a good friend of Hallmark Playhouse, Van Heflin. And now here is Frank Goss from the Makers of Hallmark Cards. When you're looking for a way to say something to someone you care for, look for a Hallmark card and you'll find the card you want to send. Because Hallmark cards are designed to say what you want to say. Just the way you want to say it. With the good taste you demand of anything that bears your personal signature. That's why Hallmark on the back of a greeting card has come to mean you'll care enough to send the very best. And now here's the first act of Donald Kauros Petey's Forward the Nation starring Van Heflin. President of the United States, President Thomas Jefferson is pointing to it. Tracing the course of the Mississippi North from New Orleans, unfolding a dream to the young man beside him, a young man with firm chin and resolute eye, a young man named Lewis, Captain Meriwether Lewis. From New Orleans to Lake Superior, from the Mississippi to the Rocky Mountains, an area of one million square miles enough to double the size of the United States. That's what we want. That's what we must have kept. The entire Louisiana territory. If the French will sell it, sir. The reports from France though, I'm very encouraged. They will sell. Napoleon needs the money for his wars. Meanwhile, Captain, you and I must be ready to act. Now, let's get on with your report. Oh, yes, sir. Well, I've prepared this list of the equipment that we'll need in an estimate of the cost, and this is a sketch of the probable route of the expedition. North along the Mississippi to the Missouri, hence to the headwaters of that river, wherever they may be found, hence westward to the Rocky Mountains, wherever they may be located, and finally by means of some mountain passage onto the Pacific Ocean. Will it be possible, Captain? For 20 years I've dreamed and argued for such an exploration, and now I wonder, is it really possible? It will be done, sir. I promise that. I have confidence in the men who'll accompany me. Then you've already selected them? Well, the majority, sir, and now on that point I would like your permission to share the command of the expedition with men that I've known for a long time, sir. He's a great soldier and he's my best friend. And his name? Captain William Clark, sir. And so my quiet, comfortable life as part of the White House family came to an end. President Jefferson's prediction proved true. On April 30th, 1803, France deeded the Louisiana Territory to the United States, and shortly after, Will Clark and I set out for Louisiana and for Louisville, Kentucky, the mustering point of the expedition. There on the banks of the Ohio, we oversaw the building of the Great Iron Flat Boat, which was to transport the men and the equipment. Yes, and such strange equipment it was. Barrels of gunpowder, cases of barter goods for the Redskins, astronomical instruments. They all make sense, Mary Wetter, but what in blazes this box full of lead medals for every one of them with Jefferson's face on it? Yes, well, I had a make-up gift to the Redskins. Yeah, you figure to decorate them for lifting our scalp? No, well, we're going to tell the Indians that they're no longer subjects of the French, that they have a great white father in Washington. The medals will show them what he looks like. Captain Lewis, Captain Clark. Good boy. My name's George Shannon, but please, I've come to enlist in the expedition.  I'm 19, sir. Well, we're taking mostly army men with us, Indian fighters, woodsmen, army scouts. We've got hundreds of men of experience to choose from. Yes, I see. Well, George, is that your dog? Well, I reckon he followed me under the boat. Well, I admit, son, what is his name? E. Purbus Unum, sir. That means one out of many. How'd you come to pick that name, son? He was a scrawny pup and a big litter, sir. I chose him out of many. Just like I was hoping you'd choose me, one out of many. Oh, I see.  And on your way, George, you tell Sergeant Willis to give you the oath and sign you on. Yes, sir, Captain. Well, the young rascal turned out to be a runaway schoolboy of 16, and his dog's name was really Rex. But with it all, George Shannon was the type that we needed. He was clever, resourceful, and eager. Following spring, our riverboat reached the new American town of St. Louis. And there, one fine day in May, 30 officers and men waved farewell to civilization. They pushed out into the Mississippi and then swung westward up the mysterious Missouri. And pushed upstream past the Osage River, the Plot, the Neobrara, the Cheyenne. For five and a half months, it was north-northwest. By late October, we were nearly to the great bend of the Missouri, not far from the Canadian border. And then, one afternoon, while I was writing in my log, Captain Kamloos would just sight an Indian village up ahead. When Captain Clark and I went ashore, we were met by a white man, a French Canadian, who called himself Rene. And when we told him the purpose of our mission, he shook his head sadly. Oh, c'est impossible, monsieur. Even the Indians know not the source of the river Missouri. And when you speak of the Rocky Mountains, you talk of a legend. No, it don't exist. Perhaps not, but we've got to find that out for ourselves. Ah, but that is madness. Above these points, the river is like a terrible demand. The rapids will dash your boat to pieces. We'll have to take our chances on that if necessary, we'll march overland. Oh-ho, will you, monsieur? With our guides, you will soon be lost. All right, then we'll hire guides. Ah, pardon, monsieur, but no. Far to the west is the land of the Chauchonis. And from the land of the Chauchonis, no one returns. You will find no one pulling up to guide you. And we'll do as best we can. What's that noise about? Oh, the Indians, they mourn because a young squaw is sick. Ah, these savages, how they fear death. What's the matter with the squaw? Who knows? It doesn't matter.  Right away. But, capitaine, she's only an Indian. Also, my friend, she's a human being. Will and I had very little trouble locating the sick woman outside of one of the tents a dozen Indians squatted in a semi-circle morning and wailing to the beat of the medicine man's tom-tom. We ducked between the tent flaps and almost tripped over a sleeping baby. Then in the semi-darkness, we made out a huddled figure. Feathered man, she's burning up with fever hands. Let's see if she can swallow this. Well, hold her head up, will you? No, no more medicine. Isn't she speaks English? Yes, that's good. Now listen, you. White man's medicine will make you well. You drink. I go home. I go to my people. No, no, no.  You're too sick. I go back to my people. I don't want to stay here. Looks like we're going to need help with her. Maybe we can find her husband. Husband gone. Husband not care about Saka Jauya. What did I do? All of a sudden, she's scared of me. She's pointing at your hair. That's it. The Indians haven't seen red hair before.  All right. Give me that cup, huh? Saka Jauya. Drink. That's good. I go home with Papus to my people. Where are your people? In the hills of the setting sun. Mountains of the Shoshani. She could take us to her people and they'd meet us in peace. She could lead the expedition to the mountains that we'd come so far to find. And beyond them, perhaps to the Columbia. And the Pacific Ocean. But now she was unconscious. Breathing was slower and more labored. Now we've done all we can. She's got to live. She's got to. Yes, she's going to be all right. Somehow I believe that we were sent to this Indian girl for a special purpose. And now I'm sure, as sure as I've never been before, that nothing can stop us. Clark, we're going forward. All the way to the Pacific. Forward the nation, starring Van Heflin. There's a day coming soon that no one will want to forget. Not mother, nor sister, nor brother. And of course, dad won't forget it because we won't let him forget. It's his very own day. Father's Day. And June 15th is the date. Of course, most fathers like to pretend that they are not worth a special day, but we know better. And all you need is to catch father when he's looking over his gifts and cards. And you know he appreciates being shown how much he means to each one of us.  Then let Hallmark Father's Day cards help you. In the fine stores where you regularly buy Hallmark cards, you'll find a Hallmark Father's Day card that says what you want to say, just the way you want to say it. There are cards for each one of us to send. Wife, daughter, son. There are even cards to send to a father who happens to be your favorite uncle. And of course, cards for a father who is a granddaddy too. Any Hallmark card you choose will be one you will be proud to sign with your name. And that Hallmark on the back will tell father that you cared enough to send the very best. Now back to James Hilton and the second act of Forward the Nation, starring Van Heflin. This is Clark Expedition set forth into the western wilderness to explore the newly acquired Louisiana territory and to discover a route to the far Pacific. In that region, which is now the state of North Dakota, the expedition passed its second winter. During those long dreary months of snow and ice, Maryweather Lewis and William Clark became fast friends of the young Indian mother and her baby. Sakajawia quickly recovered from her illness. She told us that we'd saved her life and that now her life was ours. She would be our guide into the west and she would teach us the language of her people. White man, tababoni. Tababoni. Tababoni. White man, good. She told us of her girlhood and of the raiding party of militaries who had stolen her way and sold her into a marriage which she hated. Now her one desire was to again see the land of her own shoshamis. Take a look at the river. The ice is breaking up. At last. Look, tell Captain Clark to come here at once. We're moving on, lad. On to the west. Now the Missouri forest every foot of the way. The great ungainly iron boat had to be pulled upstream and then finally dragged by a tow line passed to the men on the riverbank. After noon, Clark and I went out to scout ahead of the expedition. We scrambled up onto a bluff and gazed southwest. Captain. Look. Yes. So they're not a legend. The Rocky Mountains exist and they belong to the United States. The weeks dragged by I worried more and more about those mountains. And then there came a more pressing problem. The great falls of Missouri. Well, since there's three big falls and a lot of rapids, we'll never get beyond them. There's canoes in every pound of equipment and then that monster, the iron boat which we'd all grown to hate. For two heartbreaking weeks, we pushed and dragged it over the Stony Hills and in the end, it was for nothing. We had to abandon it and build more canoes and then a few days later even the canoes were useless. We'd followed the mighty Missouri and its tributaries to the very end to a gurgling brook in a Rocky Mountain pasture.  Our thoughts turned to the challenge ahead of us. Lewis. Yes. Yes, Will. I don't mean to be discouraging but how high do you think these Rocky Mountains are? No, high enough. Maybe too high. That's what I'm thinking. Before we climb over them the snow will catch us and we're done for it. I know. You can't do it on foot. And we've got to find horses. Horses to carry our equipment. Horses to carry us before we all go lame. But how are the Shoshonis who got every horse in these mountains? That's a girl. She's pointing at something. The next morning, I detailed the man who were to accompany me on a scouting party. We had to find the Shoshonis. We had to get some of their horses. We found an Indian trail and followed it. On the third day out we came to a clearing in the woods and suddenly we heard it. Behind us. And don't move. What? Why? Take the blanket off of your pack and spread it out there on the ground. Captain. Quick. That's the Indian sign that we come in peace. Sir, they're behind every tree. They're coming for us. We walked slowly ahead of them until we came to their camp. Indian squaws ran out to meet us. We threw down our guns and gestured that we had presents to give them. And then the crowd parted in a tall, handsome Shoshoni walked toward us. Shoshonis. You come in peace? Yes, in peace. We bring presents.  She will tell you, we are your friends. Shoshonis. Yes? I don't think he believes you, Captain. Shoshoni woman is with the rest of our party. Where? Three days to the east. We take you to her. No. They think it's a trap. We gotta get help, Captain. You want me to make a break for you? No, no. They'll tell everyone then. Wait, I have an idea. Come with us. You talk to other chief of party. He will give you money presents. His hair is red. It is the color of the setting sun. Hair like setting sun? It's one to see. The story of Clark's red hair spread through the camp the next morning. Chief Khmer Wyatt and his brave set out with us to find this unbelievable white man. Every move was important now. The slightest mistake would cost the lives of every man in the expedition. Finally we came in sight of Clark's camp. White men and Indians stared across the meadow at each other. And then a slender figure in deerskin ran toward us. He threw herself in his arms. Like a young sister. We stood there Indians and explorers together. Touched and awed by the reunion of brother and sister. Once we had saved the life of this weeping Indian girl. And now through her the lives of 30 men were spared. You bring me the sister I mourned is dead. Now we are brothers. I give back your guns. I give you all you ask. We're ours. All that we needed. But first there must be a feast in our honor. Now after these speechmaking and the dancing and the singing Clark and I went to say goodbye to Sacajawea. No. Sacajawea go with you. Then she come back to her brother. She take you to river. River that is full of salmon. And goes to great water beside setting sun. With the Indian girl at the head of the caravan we rode through the mountain passes climbing ever higher and higher until finally we were in the region of eternal snow and fog. The icy winds numb us. The blizzards blinded us. Until at last Green Valley stretched below us. On the banks of the Snake River we built canoes and flashed downstream to the waters of the Columbia. Finally our frail craft met the first tide water of the Pacific Ocean. November the 15th 1805 President Thomas Jefferson's expedition stood on the shores of the rolling Pacific. Will Clark and I knelt and gave thanks to God for his goodness. Besides us like a jolly a croon to the baby in her arms. And George Shannon the runaway school boy padded the head of his dog and he tried to hold back his tears. Captain Lewis? Yes, Shannon. Don't seem real but it is the Pacific Ocean, isn't it? Yes, son. Yes it is. I never seen ocean before. It's the greatest moment of my life. I want to yell and dance and do something to show how I feel. Well, Shannon, you can. Do you see that tall pine up there on the bluff? Yes, sir. All right. President Jefferson entrusted me with this flag of the United States with the instructions that one day it should fly high above the waves of the Pacific. Let me do it, Captain. Let me tie it to the top limb of the tree. All right. There you are. Come on Rex. Come on boy. Yes, well it's been worth it, hasn't it? The miles of river and desert mountains 18 months of sweating and that much again still between us and home but today I wouldn't trade places with any man alive when we get home. Well, well in a way we are home. This sand, this soil those hills and the forest will be part of the United States. It'll be home for our children, our grandchildren. We've shown the way and now others will follow across the thousands of miles that we've come to be farms to be homes and cities. Nothing stopped us Will and nothing can stop America. That has been our past and that must be our future. Silton will return in a moment. As the curtain falls on our show tonight our house lights will be dimmed until next September when Hallmark Playhouse will return to the air on Sunday nights over these same stations. But in many television cities you will be able to see the Hallmark Hall of Fame every Sunday throughout the summer. Consult your paper for time and station. The makers of Hallmark cards and the fine stores that feature them hope you have enjoyed these radio adaptations of outstanding stories as much as all of us have enjoyed these weekly visits into your home. Thank you for tuning us in. We hope your summer is a happy and restful one and hope on those occasions when you want to send your thoughts across the miles across the years or even across the way.

This is Frank Goss saying good night to you all for the summer holidays and inviting you to listen again next September on Sunday nights through the Hallmark Playhouse. This is KMBC Kansas City, Missouri.


So let's now think about this idea of something called exception handling Exception handling if we kind of take a look, you know, we've got that little frowny face there That's actually a really good indicator of how we would be feeling Basically, we've kind of run into a lot of programs by now where they crash and that sucks Obviously, so we what we want to think about is now Here's an example of that say for example I've got my user inputting some numbers that I plan on dividing say they do a 10 here But when they go into their why they say is zero. Well, if you've taken a math class in the past Century, you know that you cannot divide by zero. That's just one of those laws of math So what would happen is my program would run my program would actually continue to run It would execute perfectly fine, but as soon as it hit this guy, I Would get this guy I'd get in there. I would actually get sort of this What's the word I'm looking for I would get this exception Because again, we can't divide by zero So now what we do is we go. Well, if that's the case, let's think about what we're looking at Syntax errors syntax errors are our typos Those are the things that we've been dealing with nine tenths of the time That's what we see every time we write code logic errors logic errors You've started to see, you know, if you've written a few programs and you're you're off by one for example That's a logic error. Your code doesn't Quite work it functions it properly, you know, it doesn't explode on impact, but it just does not work This is the guy that you probably haven't seen too terribly much of except for now just recently when we start to working with a raise in classes and objects and Basically how this works how this operates is this The way you can think about it is it's an Expected Crash it's when your program just crashes. It was running perfectly fine spitting out numbers and then That's what a runtime error really indicates And the reason why I kind of focus in on this is runtime errors This is really where all of the exception handling resides is that we are making sure that if we ever run into an issue If we ever hit a problem we take a second we stop and we go all right. I want something else to happen


Should be a rental store. All right, let's like the energy catch up. That's something I always forget about coming from Minecraft You just go go go go. You don't even stop for anybody for this You gotta stop and rest Don't worry. I can expand my plot over here if I need to it does sound like a plank pool I can expand my plot or do another one. So I have the Cubis to buy another plot And I could just call this a mine. I don't know how deep the mines go though I mean that the mines I don't know how deep the plots go Anybody know so if I were to put like a plot like right here like right where this entrance is a Beacon I should do another plot. Um, I could do a campfire now like how deep does it go? It's a good question But I need like a ladder for something like that because I probably you'd probably want to go straight down instead of like In an angle like I'm doing or you probably want to go in a spiral So I probably want to like go like this. I think square published this game I don't know if they made it they got something to do with it How's it compared to Pixar? Pixar is arc Pixelated this is not dinosaurs So there's a big difference there's no as far as I can see I don't see any tameable dinosaurs or anything like that This is the MMO arc is server-based So two major differences right there two very major differences arc is server-based. This is an MMO You don't have to rent a server with this this is all it's all connected via the servers that you join and I'm probably gonna need a torch because it's gonna get really dark down here. I Didn't think about torches, but I'm not getting flint any torches. I can hold in my hand I think I placed them all okay. I got three flint. Let's grab four torches There's no monthly fees, but there is microtransactions So and the microtransactions, you know, they're they're a little bit a source of controversy right now Definitely a source of controversy. So let's We're gonna mainly use the hammer. So we're gonna put this in our right hand. Just hold it up So we could see I need to play some block here So where I come from up here This is doing some weird stuff. Is it possible to the world to just reach in on top of me and I won't be able to get out That would be kind of hilarious wouldn't it? What it do's is my shovel. I think it broke The ax out here. That's so weird You put something in your hand and it just ignores I'm not gonna say a lot what I was thinking because it'll confuse you even more, but this this whole UI Is this is just odd All right, we'll place a torch here only to every 12 hours don't eat I just hope I'm getting more flint like I'm not I'm not noticing when I'm getting flint. I need to flints I'm assuming death doesn't matter. We'll find out, huh?  It's okay so far I mean I'm day one on the MMO. I mean it's like When a new MMO comes out it's like you're doing the tutorial you doing like the first 20 or so levels It's hard to kind of say you whether you love the game or like the game or whatever I Mean I could give opinions on the UI I can give opinions on the On the leveling system the options the controls the lag but overall the game is It's a game Nothing super special so far But it's kind of weird to expect that this early in the MMO. I guess I Haven't really traveled anywhere outside of my own place. Oh here we go. What's this? That looks different Ancient tech remnants. This is what I need it. Okay. This is what I need to make the something I forgot what it was, but I needed this So that's what it looks like. It's just it's just a it's just a It's a circuit board inside of a rock. Got it. All right Steve man Thanks for coming by and I appreciate the con words and I hope things get better for you man I really do and thank you for the support. I think they will get better for you I think they'll get better for you So thank you for your support man. Have a good night. We're just mine. I've ever made in my life Probably should place another torch down here Broke the hammer good thing I made another one Ha ancient tech relics That's exactly why I came down here to see if they were underground and they are so that's good to know It was something that I think it was the the upgraded crafting table. Yeah, that's what it was So the upgraded I think it's called a workshop It needed ancient tech relics So let's go back Slash warp home Let's go back and See if we craft it Want to go home there. Okay. No. No not there. There we go Here's my cube My home cube, which the door was open. Okay So That angle though It is called a I could do another beacon control now interesting Hmm, I could put a beacon control over there by that By the mine if I want to keep it It is called a work bench And it requires one ancient tech remnant and I have seven and I need a base metal And timber So didn't I find some kind of an ore down there? gravel sand soft coal I Thought I found some ore. I guess it was just coal. I do have two copper. I Smelted that in my furnace Not sure what I can do with coal except use of this fuel. That's my assumption Two-hole flint makes me not want to make torches, man. You get like one flint per hour in this game Okay, well, let's store the the tension that the tension the ancient tech relics the store that here And I guess gravel Karen gravel around and the work conduits we can put them to those storage rack What are the stone ones look I should make a stone one just to see how it looks I Think it requires glue It does yeah requires glue. I don't want to waste glue because you need bones for that And I didn't kill much yet Sit right. What am I doing? I need I need a okay. I need a ore. I need some metal And then I'll be ready to craft this table and see what new things I can craft. Let's do that Let's go over here back to our a mine They call it a mine And we're gonna see if we can find some some copper and some other stuff If I can remember where it is, I Probably should place a torch in front of it that be smart So easy to see now till it regents until everything goes away Look I might just build a straight up I Wasn't further further sound just going like straight Do some strip mining Is my character made of diamonds? I don't even know what is this? Small fossil seem small fossil. Okay. Okay. Okay. I Really should split the torches and put them in both. I only got one torch left Goodbye Okay, so let's put one torch You can split this but I don't know how It's like there we go one one one There we go. Let's put one torch with the This guy and one torch with this guy. So right click Split is hold. There we go. Wait. Why did I just need one? One with him and one with him you can only do it in one hand Okay, that's how many miles you use it.  I Guess I'm placing one, but I don't count dirt out So I'm gonna kind of fossils, but no actual ore It's gonna say that's kind of weird Resting up a little bit. Let's go ahead and eat to This already full I think oh, no, I don't want that give me this give me this back Rust lock, thanks for the host buddy Appreciate it. So that was copper Got some more ancient stuff here. So quite a bit of the ancient tech How many how many the copper do I get for this? I wonder I'm actually appreciating these sounds. I Like how they sound it does sound like pool though So we can head back now. That's enough ore to do the thing. It's a maze of a mine Makes no sense at all. Oh Really? You guys are silly silly bumpkins All right, so I got them actually smelt this So we're gonna use the copper Not the copper the coal as fuel right, hey, it works and Start furnace It's a cooking There's a minute per I think she up is a minute per But I mean, I think it's the It's a tier one furnace, so I think I can get a better one. I'm hoping at least Once I get this workbench, I think I'll be it'll open me up to some new stuff That's what I'm assuming. I Make this yet Glue is not plentiful apparently there's a mod for that, huh? Let's learn this tip. Okay. I think that's all I need it for Vinnie or and Now we need just timber Which I got a little chop I choose you It's not a bad game in terms of like looking feeling stuff. It runs. Well the atmosphere is In a game is pretty But you know my audience and other audiences probably played Minecraft and in terms of differentiators It's just well. It's just way too early to say what separates this game from others I Just haven't gotten to that point yet I don't think anybody has I think it's too early. Whoa Get back people probably who played in the beta as an alphas probably did But in terms of in game and just what there is to do outside of just what I'm doing now This is I mean the only the only minor complaint I have is just the you want to take some getting used to I'm still not completely used to it. I don't like the one thing I don't like Is that when I craft something on the table I have to take it out of the table Drag it to my inventory close that window reopen my inventory drag it from the inventory to my hand That just takes too long. Um, I wish they could simplify that Um, I'm good faster at it, but it's just a minor gripe I haven't learned teleporting stuff So far, I mean people are going to be asking about microtransactions because I think that's like the The topic of controversy. I've got a plot here that's going to last a month and It was very easy to get So I guess unless you're building like a a fortress or an empire or a guild Um, I don't think the microtransactions are going to make that much of a difference From what I can see because I was looking at the cubits and what you get from cubits. It's like There's some quality of life stuff here. I think the The beacon all the fuel definitely gives you an advantage. It's a very good quality of life thing Uh resets the skill set stuff You know the skill set thing I don't even know what that entails I guess this is something you can earn later on or you can buy with cubits Thing is you can earn cubits too. So it's like I've been earning cubits up until now and there are paid currency as well. So it's like It comes down to how fast you can grind cubits versus, you know, somebody buying it I don't know. It doesn't bother me yet.  I did that that's something one of it. Um It doesn't bother me yet, but I haven't got to the point to probably would bother me So it's early too early to say I don't know It's too early to form an opinion, man It's not bad though But it's not great either Uh, let's see. Um Yeah, let's see if I can do this now make some Timber So yeah, you take this move it here If I had to put it in my hand, I'd have to open it again and then move it to my hand.

Thank you so much for sticking to Y254 TV. My name is Sheryl Blessing and you are watching The Power Talk Show. Now before we went on our short break, we were just having a conversation on forgiveness and is it possible to rebuild trust after someone has broken it? Particularly, now we want to get into the interpersonal relationships. We were just expounding on the parents and the older generations and how we can forgive them and move on as well as our self-forgiveness. So I want you to go on our social media platforms at Y254, share a comment and experience that you've had, where you forgive someone and you called in to trust them after or where it was so easy for you to trust someone because you believed that they came from a genuine point. So we were just having the conversation with Alan and patients. So I want us to get into the relationship portion of it. So we want to depend on the relationships particularly when we talk about the sexual relationships are very, very intense and with that it comes with a lot. So let us start with the friendship bit because we become friends before we get to relationships ideally that's how it should be. So with our friendships, patients, let me start with you because I feel like our as ladies don't know, complicating him, I don't know, we have a friendship. We have drama. Sometimes it's drama over. Patients are at the top and I remember, so I'm selfish and it becomes a whole thing that started from nowhere.  But you find out, you forgive them and they're trying to convince you by the way right now I'm real. Maybe in the past I wasn't but right now you're my friend. You know, I got you. Is it possible for you to rebuild trust in a situation like that? It's going to be hard because I'll keep on remembering. You did this last time. I didn't do this but you did this. So maybe when I tell you to go with me somewhere, then you tell me, I'll not be around. Then that evening, I see on your Instagram story, you're out with some other friends. See, you're not going to be out with your friends, you're not going to be like, ah, you're not going to be able to improve too or anything. No, you knew very well. So me personally, that pisses me off a lot. So when the next time I tell you, so you can go out, then you tell me what you're going to do. I know very well, the patterns are the same. You're going to do this and this again. So at the back of my mind, I don't want to believe that it's true. But I believe it's true. It was really funny the last time I made a difference. So I just feel it will be very hard for me to trust you because I still have that new manager. Ah, if you have a brain that's going to be like, I'll give you a date, I'll give you a date, I'll give you a date. And then I'll say, hey, hey, hey. So I will trust you. I'm just giving the benefit of a doubt. You can say it's true or not. But then, you'll see that you trust. How it ends. It's going to be hard for you to trust them again. I wish Kanzong would have a reaction to Alan. But you're not going to be able to see this scenario. Alan was probably thinking, huh?  But I feel like, to men, things that seem minute. Because someone was sharing with me, it was a guy who was sharing because he didn't get the whole point. My birthday is coming soon. And the best friend didn't wish her a happy birthday. So you are my catch feelings. And then the guy is telling me, I don't get the point. Like, see my birthday too. But to women, they really hold on to things like that. And as you've said, for some, it's harder for them to build trust after a situation like that has happened. Alan, based on your reaction, it clearly doesn't happen that often with guys. But what will it take? What will it take for you to lose trust in a friend? What will they have to do for you to say, eh, I don't trust that guy anymore? Let me use this small case. Today, a friend of mine calls me and tells me, Laurence, I need you to give me, let's say even $1, which is 100 shillings, I will return. You get, I've got no problem, honestly. Because you've said, you will return. I give you then, that one, because it's so minute to you, you'll be like, ah, no problem. You know, the next minute, you will come telling me, let's say, 10,000 shillings. Do you think I will give you? You've already broken the trust. And the bad thing about trust, no matter what you come and explain unto me, it's like, as much as I can give you benefit of doubt, but it reaches to a point, you also need to remove the benefits and take people for who they are. Somebody has shown me there are two colors. What am I trying to paint them? That you know what, let me paint them to my color preference. It cannot work like that. So the point is, those are my new things that we tend to ignore. They build up into big red flags. I call them the Red Seas. Because it was just a flag, but now it's the Red Sea. That must be it. Yeah, so for me, all those small, small things that I really treasure, it's very important. We've agreed that we are meeting at 8. And you come, let's say, later during the day. And you don't explain at all to me that when I, no, no, no. Nahakop. But then we've said, as we were starting this conversation, we talked about self-forgiveness. We talked about growing, because we all grow and we change. Yes, we will. Even I will forgive you no problem. I forgive granted, but access denied. Because let me protect my space. Because I don't want proximity. I want to control my environment. I want to control my proximity. So it is very important. The things that we tend to ignore are the very onset. They are the ones that come to hurdle at the very end. Later on. OK, so you are subscribed to them. Forgive, but don't forget. When is this a how? We're like, kiddo, go inside. It's only a lesson. It was a lesson for me to pick from there. And I move on. Now I wonder, in a situation where someone genuinely changes. Let's say the case file that you've given, because I think I've had the experience before. I've had situations where you invite someone and they don't come through. But then you see them going for someone else's thing. And you're like, what's going on? With no explanation. So sometimes we really assume and misunderstand. What if genuinely it was something that they were invited to last minute and it was so urgent? Or there was some pressing. There was a need for them to be there. But because we do not really understand the full picture, we'll see it as, at least I know to my thing, a kind of hapo. Or a situation where we've given the case file. This person has grown from maybe when they were starting. Maybe when they were freshers in uni, maybe when they were at home. Maybe they kept time half an year in uni. But they've also matured through experience and through life. They've matured, they've become better. What would it take for you to trust someone after they've shown you to send someone a paper? Alasasasai, you're trying to be like, hey, maybe paper isn't that kali, you know? How do you get that? They broke your trust, you forgive them, but you're still trying to rebuild it. And they have genuinely changed. Patience, how can you get to that point of building your trust completely with them? It's going to be still hard, because as much as we have grown, isn't this have happened? It's the processing for me. Because patients are like, hmm? Uko shua me change. Exactly, that's the question. Uko shua me change. Uko shua hauta nifanyi voutena. I'll constantly be thinking about what I've been saying the last time. But maybe that case that I've given when you said it's last minute, whatever. If it's last minute, it's like a good thing, maybe an appointment or something, should I say official to come here? But then, no, you're outside with your out. You're just having fun and all that. So at the back of my mind, I believe, ah, ah, I'm not the one who can choose the other. People say believe, no. But you know it also hurts you. This one though, you say, unadomto anas ke ga kawchungu, yeah, why would you do this? Even the situation that Alan has given, if you've trusted someone, you know, most times I believe in, if someone asks you for money or something, give them without expecting it back. But the fact that someone can offer to say, I'll pay it back, and then they do not communicate, they do not say anything, nawendo bakitwa pomeji jazia, then you can wonder what happened, were you really my friend or were you there for the finances? Now getting into the relationships. Kozu konro penye, so many people, especially in this day and time, una monga the first mistake end up. Cause as Alan you've said, the red flags are what build up. So the minute you see the first mistake, sometimes people don't even communicate. They don't even share and talk about what happened, what made me feel this way. So I want us to get into that and figure out what happens, but before that, let's go into the comments. And this is from Facebook. We have Julius Murega who says, tuned in from Nyeretown as Santisana Julius. Isaac Nalyanya says, hello, I'm watching from Butere. Trust cannot be rebuilt after forgiveness. Let's just forgive one another and everyone take his or her way. We are human beings. I'm talking out of experience. Thank you so much for that Isaac. We have Ibrahim Yasir says, Niko Locked, Bondi Cherenganyi. Now a check in Daniel Jango as Santisana Ibrahim. I hope to Naku Bamba. Avis Salashia says, once trust is broken, everything changes the way you look at your partner. Uno nangahu um tu, ni nongue tu. Eh yo, as Santi for that, we have Stacey Beth at the Ambu who says not my own trust. So eh, what do I say ma'apana? Bramwell Bokeh, KD says, nothing is impossible before the Lord. Human beings are all equal before God. We shall be ready to forgive our friends, family members and neighbors too. Thank you, Bramwell. I think you may talk from a perspective of a true Christian. Niko Ngovo Mrege says, following out of 237 Thika, as Santisana Kutu watch. Thank you so much. I think we've only had one comment. Mtoaki say ma'apana. By the way, it's possible to forgive. The rest really believe forgive, but don't forget. And I think most of us really, we are similar. And as we've gotten one comment, you know, I was talking to someone who was saying, we have to be like Christ.   He did not commit sins, but he died and said, it's okay, I'm covering this and every other generation to come. And it takes a lot for us in our human nature to get there. So particularly in relationships, once trust is broken, Alan, if your partner lets that from a situation where they've cheated, which is so major, and it's not, let's not even talk about cheating where they were probably involved, maybe cheating in terms of, they were flirting and they were emotionally invested in this other person. Do you think it's possible to forgive them and trust them after that? Oh, wow. It takes a level of maturity and the depth of the relationship. The other thing is, you know, once somebody realizes that they are wronged you or they're on their wrongs, there are two things here. Some people will ask for forgiveness because you've caught them. And some people will be genuinely sorry because they feel that they have betrayed themselves, not even you. So there are two dimensions here. So at times people will ask for forgiveness just to please you. But true forgiveness is a forgiveness whereby you've realized to yourself that you know what, genuinely I'm on the wrong. And true forgiveness can only be depicted by your action, not even your word. How you transformed from that incident.  So for that case, there is nothing as like it was a mistake because most people tend to say, so actually it was a mistake. Why are you playing with fire? And or why are you playing in the rain and they're expecting that the rain will not, will not fall on you. So if let's say it has happened in that kind of a situation because we cannot analyze them from the reality, it's for you to have this conversation, have this conversation, be sure that you've forgiven them brother, then the other person should guarantee you that they are going to change their character, but to some extent, especially as far as relationships are concerned. I always say an alligator in Kenya can never be a crocodile in the US. So you've got to be a very serious person when it comes to that. You need to know what are your non-negotiables as far as relationships are concerned. And I think that also comes with maturity. The older you get or the more mature you become, you realize this is what I'm willing to tolerate and this I cannot. And on that note, because trust is really hard to build if someone has broken, particularly in a relationship, because if you are cheating emotionally with this person, how many other people have you been cheating on me with and the fact that you brought out the fact that people are sorry because they're caught. They're not sorry because I've realized that I've messed up and I come to tell you that Alan, by the way, I was talking to so-and-so, it's because you caught them in the act. Now in a different case, let's say a patient, your partner does not disclose everything. They may feature some information, maybe even its finances, maybe it's about their family, maybe it's something that affects both of you and then you come to find out through a third party. So when you confront them, they tell you the truth, but they didn't tell you the truth to begin with. Is it possible for you to forgive and trust your partner again after that? I would forgive, but I would not trust 100% because when you're in a relationship, you're one, you're trying, you're one. So it means everything I'm going through, I'll share with you. It's basically, this is you are really, we are working together. So I believe if anything is happening to you or any family issues, you should just let me know. I should not let it get all the information from another person. So I'll feel I am not enough or I am not enough, should I say? Then you can't trust me enough with all your issues, but you can trust another third party. So why ruin a relationship? Because a relationship should be open, you tell me everything. So I believe I can just forgive and maybe I explain what I'm going through. Maybe I'll say, ah, I didn't want to include you in this and this as they always say or say, could you excuse me, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm not good at this. Could you excuse me? No, I'm not going to apologize, I'm just going to say. No, I'm not going to apologize. I'm not going to apologize. I'm not going to protect you. I'm not going to protect you from me. Why you protecting me? Why you? I know. Exactly. So, ah, me, me, no, I'll just forgive you, but I want to trust you, because you didn't trust me in the first place, did you? Yeah. And they didn't come forth and tell you, by the way, this is the situation, you had to find out through someone else. So if they didn't tell you, it brings us back to, they're sorry, they're caught. It's not because they're sorry, they didn't tell you. Now in a situation where I'm telling myself, Alan, let's say we are dating.  And maybe I'll sleep up one time. And I come and tell you, by the way, I'm really, this and this happened, I confess everything. And I tell you, I am willing to do whatever it takes to rebuild this relationship. How would you receive that? Why? You know, there are two things here. You can be genuine, but in most cases, some people tend to be manipulative. You just wanna tell us safe, in the generation that's manga of tell us safe. In terms of just in case I'm caught, I'm like, say, I told you, you get. So it is kind of manipulative because what is the motive? Because it's not about what you are saying. The motive behind what you are saying, it is what is more important than anything else. So we have to go back and look at what was the motive. I have to listen to what was not being said, not only what was said.   So it comes from, it's where the person is coming from. The intention behind them confessing. Yeah. So basically who can trust me? Eva Tundumna, Sema. Yes, because sincerely, come on, come on, come on. What are you doing? So the point is if at that particular time, maybe you felt genuinely, you're coming to tell me, as a man, there are two things who also will come and play. Maybe you want to bruise my ego or there is a silent communication you are giving unto me. And also the tone and the mood matters the most because man, I kind of feel we are a bit delicate as far as relationships are concerned because anything you sleep, hibikido, we are done. So as far as trust is concerned, it is you now to understand your partner more. There is no proper manual about it. Is you to understand me and you also understand you well enough. And through that, we are going to build a stronger relationship and especially we are talking the season of Easter and all these things. Especially as Christians, we've got to be people, I like the aspect you brought. We've got to be Christ-like, not like other Christians. I ought to do things, thinking if I was, if it was Jesus or if I am a Muslim, if it was my creator, how will they handle this situation? So it is you to ask wisdom from the Lord because we can do all these things. We can say 17 ways of how to build a relationship, all these things, not unless a relationship is founded on the foundation of God. It is nothing. Do not be so much excited that your partner loves you or do not be so much excited that guy is loving and all those things. Do these person have a genuine connectivity with their creator? Through that, because if they have a proper connectivity with their God, then there is a way they can treat you accordingly because we are all made in the image and the likeness of God. Yeah, I like that. So it trickles down to the personality. Thank you. Now, Sasa, that situation you've said, it depends on the intention. What if I'm genuine? Like I genuinely wronged you patients and I feel genuinely horrible about it and it's from a point of integrity and I'm coming forth because I feel bad about the situation. As, okay. Not... Let's talk about your boyfriend.  Come here, I'm going to tell you. He and his situation may happen.   I'm going to entertain, but babe, I'm a woman. Is it possible for you to build trust from that? I'm going to tell you.  He has a feature. I'm going to tell you the same thing. I'm going to tell you the same thing. I'm going to show you the proof. How would you receive that? I will know when he's genuine. I'll just feel it. So, the same way I wouldn't, maybe someone else will be telling me that and be like, ah, no, no, no. But when you're telling, when I can't feel that you're genuinely sorry, I'll trust you. I'll just know what it's a mistake. We all make mistakes, so I'll trust you. But if I don't feel, I will not be able to be honest and be honest and be genuine. Or as he said, you're just trying to be manipulative. That is, if I don't feel what you're saying. But if I feel, I'll trust you. And you know there's always this concept. There's always the concept of men can lie and they will cry what Alia chose. And they will hang around the whole time. So let me pull up the comments and then I can get back to you. alone as we are winding up. This is still from Facebook, I believe. We have Bridget Sambat who says, when trust is broken, it can be rebuilt only if the people involved are serious about it. That's true, because that's an aspect of intentionality. Name okay, and I say, Ajay Sasa. Ajay Sasa. Deno Jivali says, Kayole is watching. Thank you so much for watching us. I don't know. Do we have any more comments, Timor? Yeah, we have Racha Josez is impossible. Never. Stacy Diana says, I feel like based on the comments that we've gotten, there are so many people who they've lost trust because they've had some bad experiences where they feel like even after you've given someone your trust again, it's possible to break it. The way we were talking about, unless we want a habit over time, years and years ago, maybe it will change, because you never know if someone is just faking it again. Now, let me wind it up by bringing it to work spaces. Because there's a job that you can't say, Racha Josez, or a colleague, because you know we are in a situation where people are competing for the same exact opportunities.  But then the minute you find out, they're like, oh my god, I'm so sorry. It wasn't intentional. Maybe this was happening. Is it possible for you to trust that colleague again after that? Because when she says this was happening, you should not blame a situation on maybe what, maybe, say you're going through something, then you say, ah, it's just because I was going through something. No, don't, so would I trust that colleague again? I would not trust that colleague because I believe if you did it the first time, you're going to do it again. So all I'll have to do is to avoid that person, to avoid being in spaces where he or she is. And if I need to, because I'm too young, I'll watch it too. Because you, if you hang out with a colleague and collect, okay, baby, he's collecting that. Yeah, because if you're hanging out with, I'd say a lot of journalists, maybe. But if you go out with a colleague and ask her stories, that's okay. Yeah. No, no, no, you can't do that. Exactly. So I would avoid that person. Maybe it all started with me. So if I don't try and put myself from all those people that are hurting me, they'll keep on hurting me. So I have a choice of not staying with that person, not going to places or being in scenarios where they are or including in everything. So let me just live. So it's up to you to change your environment and even your perception of the whole situation. Now, I wonder, can I boss you around? The way we were talking about the older generation, sometimes they're threatened by young people coming into the job market. They feel like you're threatening their positions. If there's anything that like Alan is late, Alan does not do his work visually. And then you find out about it. Is it possible for you to forgive and trust your boss after situations like that have happened? Well, okay. You have on your bossy, you don't compete with your boss at the end of the day. But let me tell you, toxic working environment is a real thing that people never want to talk about it. It is many people are depressed at their place of work, but people cannot talk. You know, you understand. So at work, your colleagues are your colleagues. They are not your friends. You have to put a distinction. Do your work, you get? Do what you have to do. But at a personal space, try and avoid it because once familiarity crops in, there are some levels you guys, like there are some boundaries that will not be put in place. So try to maintain a lot of professionalism, especially when you're working. And through that, you will be able to avoid some things and alter your expectations on people. That is why we end up being frustrated because we have so much expectations on these people. So lower your expectations on people and trust yourself that anything can happen.  They will try anything and everything to displace you. So what are kimbia? Who could end up with a bad mouth and do all those things, but do not lose your identity, no matter what they do. Be quick to forgive, but do not let it get into your heart. And even if they praise you at work, do not let it get into your head. Take it as a compliment and move on. Do not be so much invested into your colleagues out of experience. And many people will attest to this working environment. It is a high time. People need to change their mentality. We just need to be realistic. Because you can never grow tall by cutting other shots. Let each person shine their own shine. Today you cannot be behind the camera. Today you cannot be the one hosting. So no matter what you do, you can go to the bad mouth somebody. You can do all those things. But whatever you have to do, just do it and go home. What am I booming? I read a lot. The sky is enough for all of us to shine. That's why there are stars. They all shine at the same time. So we all have the same opportunity to shine at our own time. So I can shine. Just because we let each other in the same place. And I like that. Because you know so many people, especially when they're new to the job market, they come in thinking, all these people are my friends. I'm so excited to be in this space. And then you maybe disclose some things even about your personal life, your family, and those are the things that can be used against you. Because you never know. The way you're saying, not everyone understands the concept that how many billions of people exist.  They have their own space. People do not really understand that. Because some people want to fight you because they want to Because they feel like you're intimidating to them. And that is a problem. Because you have to understand that. You know, it's possible for you to add value to each other's lives, as long as you coexist peacefully and harmoniously. And so many people do not understand that. But in this conversation, you see, you only echoed that when you said, if you feel like the person is honest, and there isn't, how would you even feel? How can you know? You will just feel. Yeah. I will end the script because at this point, minute one point two, I'll start crying. I just feel it. Yeah. Trust you as much as I feel that connection, as much as I feel your genuine. Then it's possible to trust. Yeah. But Alad, at your point, because you wanted to say something, in your experience as a relationship coach, I'm sure what I'm going to say is an issue. Yes. People can rebuild trust. And even before even we get to rebuilding trust, you get to that point whereby you've come, you told me that, you know what, Alad and I are in a relationship. Why are you telling me this? You're telling me this so that we be accountable.  I know. So you look at it. It is a question of maybe you are telling me so that we be accountable to each other. We protect each other. So it is all about the intentionality. Why are you telling me? So then what is the way forward? So moving from there, that is when we have to establish step by step our ways on how we can be able to protect us and become even more vulnerable and open to each other because it's a sign of strength. It's not a weakness. So the other thing, back to what you are saying, it is easier to rebuild trust if and only if you promise that I'm going to hold my side of the bugging, no matter what. Because there are some people, because the situation has not been presented. You find someone can be so trusting, like they can be so loving, they can be so honest because they have not been presented with an opportunity for them to cheat. So maybe this opportunity because it has come, you have to look at the situation and look at it, okay, to what extent should I go. But most of the cracks will begin in the relationship because of that particular incident that really happened. And on the man side, you have a lot of things to do so that to prove your worth for you to be in the life of this lady. So it is a question of you putting in so much work to prove your worth. And most of the time, most of the people happen, they tend to fail because putting in the work to be able to regain that. It's like they say trust is like a broken glass. But it will never ever ever be the same. Because also again, patterns will never lie. And ladies are good at reminding you. You remember 1949, you did this, you get. So memory. Yes. But for us men, we are like here, we forget each other and forget, but now you guys hold on to it. So you see, if we end the relationship, anything minute happens. You start crying. I'm like, why are you crying? You remember 1959, you did this and this. So I'm like, it is the anniversary of you cheating. I'm like, okay, that's a big news. But it takes a lot of intentionality based on what you're saying. And as the comment agreed, it takes intentionality on both parties. So I have one question that was posed on X. So this is Samuel Washira. He says, enjoying the show, big up to patients. Just one question to her. What should the young man do when they're not in good terms with their parents, especially mothers? So we can both address this. So patients, you can give us your perspective. What should a young man do when they're not in good terms with their parents, especially their mother? So maybe you can give me the answer in 30 seconds or less, if it's possible. Okay. I'll just talk to them as simple as that. As I said earlier, you don't know what is going on with them. Your mask. I'm just talking to them to understand the situation. Just talk to them. Just talk to them and just tell them what's on your mind. Set you on a feature. Tell them, you know, when you do this, I feel like this. And I don't feel good. So if you stop doing this, you just tell them, this is how I feel. And if you stop doing this to me or if you start doing this to me, I'll start feeling this way. And it will make me productive in one way or another. So just presenting yourself in a way that she can understand it. Thank you for that. Alan, what's your opinion on that? What do you think the young man should do if he gets along with mama? Number one thing is, first of all, forgive yourself for what really happened. Then the other thing is change your behavior so that not only to sweet your mom but because you realize that maybe I was on the wrong. Then have a conversation with her. Have a conversation, understand where she's coming from and get into her shoe. Then through that, build a conversation the way she was saying, have this conversation. Mom, why did you do this? You get through that and suggest to her. Maybe she was doing it out of a point of ignorance or she was not aware, you understand. And they're also human. They're also human. They will tend to understand you. None. So it is not, we cannot just be like, okay, it's our... Just have a conversation. And I like that. I think you've really summed up this conversation, Izuri. Talk to your parents. So many of us are going through challenges, especially with our African parents because we feel like they don't understand us or they do not receive what we say well. You have to understand your parents are humans. Every single person around you exists in their own space. They have their own issues. They're dealing with their own traumas. So it's very important for you to understand every individual that you're dealing with. You have to understand why you're dealing with it. And see if there is some integrity in the apology. If you forgive someone, let it come from your heart. If you forgive someone genuinely from your heart, building trust is something that takes time. And it's upon you to decide if you want to trust this person or not. And I think that is it for the day. I want to thank our guest. They've been so wonderful. Alan has a new book that he's released.
