ONE EPISODE, A STARTING POINT

You have to be a decent person

0:59Marco Montemagno · podcast RSS

The passage recounts a father's lesson, repeated over the years, in the first person: be a decent person. The memory returns in a scene involving a newspaper and Forbes rankings, but its emotional centre remains moral character rather than recognition. The speaker imagines that being remembered as a decent person would be valuable, invoking truth, beauty, morality and dignity. The speaker's name is not stated in this short excerpt, so the memory is not treated as a biographical fact about Marco.
