Yeah, every man knows God when he's at his lowest, right?

You reflect so much more.

There's this cool story from a coach of mine, Joe.

He talks about his daughter.

She was like nine at the time.

And she was crying in the bathroom.

And the way that she was crying, he said, you don't sound that sad to me.

You say, I'm pissed off.

And she's like, I am.

I said, well, you know, when you're crying in the bathroom, how often are you pissed off and how often are you sad?

She says, about half the time.

I said, well, how can you cry?

Why are you crying if you're angry half the time?

If you're pissed off, how come you're crying?

She says, well, when I'm angry, everybody runs away.

But when I cry, my sister comes and looks after me.

I just thought it was such a brilliant insight into this sort of the pro-social...

not seductive, but like attractive gravitational force of sadness.

And I think a lot of the time, even when people are mad, they sometimes turn it into being sad because when people are mad, others run away.

But when they're sad, people come and help them.
