Okay, so here are the four.
Money, wealth, resources, power, which is influence over other people.
It's not evil.
It's not Hugo Chavez.
It can be very, very good, but people are beguiled by it.
Pleasure, which either means feeling good or comfort or security, right?
So if you check your stock portfolio every day, you've got a pleasure idol, right?
Right.
or if you have a hard time getting out of bed, not just if you get high a lot, okay?
And last is fame.
And fame doesn't necessarily mean internet fame.
It might be prestige.
It might be- It's like status.
Well-regarded and for the right people.
