Okay, so an actual situation? Okay, so this one was deep, and I wasn't the primary on this one. And this is a story that resonates, and they even tell us in the class now. A guy whose life was horrific. He had a terminal illness. He had a—and I wasn't—when I was younger, I didn't realize how many people have back issues, and their back pain is just suffering, and they don't want to live anymore.
