Well, I got a tattoo recently. Oh, nice. It's an acronym F-T-B-O-A-B. It's way off brand for me in terms of like it's cheesier than I like to be. But it stands. It's a Buddhist phrase for the benefit of all beings. And we talked about my anger habit. But one of my other habits that I also mentioned that I don't like is a kind of selfishness or greed. And so.

I really try to remind myself as much as possible, like, no, I'm answering this in more than a word.

But I try to remind myself, yeah, this is for the benefit of all beings. And the A, the all, I'm included in that. So it's not like I can't make a living or whatever. But having it right here next to my watch, I'm trying to put that thought in my head more frequently.

Okay. What law?

if you want to do selfishness correctly, you will be thinking about the benefit of all beings to the best of your ability. Because that is how you will get happier.
