Why do things happen the way they do?
You gotta have an answer to that.
Some people answer it like you and I are religious people and we believe in science and those are great ways to answer the why do things happen the way they do.
Some people, they resort to conspiracy theories for that.
And so the people who are watching us- Too many people.
Yeah, and when people who are watching us, they have a relative who's gone down the rabbit hole on the internet, really into conspiracy theories, that's a cry for help about meaning.
That's what it is.
So you can yell at them and say, you idiot.
Why don't you respect science?
No, no, no, no.
They're unhappy because they lack meaning.
And that's because this coherence thing is missing.
You need to meet that with love and give them a better solution for coherence.
That's number one.
Oh, okay.
Number two is purpose.
And purpose is something to do.
Purpose is goals and direction.
Why am I doing what I'm doing?
A lot of people can't answer that.
