Didactic Mind, Ep 77: The Forge of Vulcan

Today I wax philosophical again about the nature of our tests and the reasons why we are tested to, and often beyond, our breaking points. I go through Biblical prophets from the Old Testament and examine how they were tested and broken, in order to do what God needed them to do. (I didn't have time to get to the Big Cheese Himself - probably should have arranged things a bit better there.) I weave in a bunch of Greek mythology about the forge-god Hephaestus (or Vulcan, for brevity's sake), and explain the process of forging that God uses to turn men into weapons. And I conclude with some brotherly advice and some exhortations for the men among us to do what is necessary in order to short-circuit that process of pain and suffering.
