They lost employees.

Everything had turned upside down and I started to share my life philosophies with them because I didn't know what else to do.

Well, I can go back to my personal story.
What happened to me is that I always needed to know what was going to happen next.
And if I didn't know what was gonna happen next in my life, I projected things were gonna be bad or they weren't gonna work out.
And I think a lot of us have this addiction in our society.
We're always so scared and worried that we're not okay and the unknown brings things that we're not gonna like.
And so what we do in order to make ourselves feel better is we write stories about what needs to happen for us to be okay.
We might write a story, I need to have this job till I retire, or I need to have this amount of money in the bank when I'm 50, or my child needs to go to this college
To be okay.
And so we hold on to these stories.
