## Resource

For five episodes, we’ve watched people fail to make the ask. Today we watch what happens when the ask succeeds. The money arrives. The recognition arrives. The love finally arrives. Watch how many of us cannot take it.A man stands beside a table on Christmas Eve, in a small American town called Bedford Falls. Hours earlier, he had stood on a bridge over freezing water, having concluded he was worth more dead than alive. He built this town. More than once, he saved it. And now, standing at that table, he must do the single most difficult thing anyone will ask of him all night. This is the hinge episode of season two of The Polymathic Perspective, and the moment the series turns its title on itself. We thought the problem was what we want but refuse to ask for. Underneath it was what we want but refuse to accept.
