coming up next on passion struck modern experience i think to feel like you're just a cog in a machine to feel like you're not mattering i find it to be a little almost near dystopian extent normalized that kind of thing where we talk about people and treat people as if they're simply computational beings and simply machines but what it looks like is isolation what it looks like is loneliness what it looks like is anxiety and depression i think in the end

When we are social animals, we are animals made of meaning, without meaningful connection, without mattering, to use the language, without mattering, we're hollowed out.

It is a core need of us to be in community and growing.

I'm excited for the conversation.

Oh, I love that.

I love that.

It's incredible.

It's funny how the world works, isn't it?

Like how serendipital is that?

You would have just spoken with him when I have his words tattooed on the inside of my eyeballs for the last few years, because I bumped into them during kind of a low point.

And I was spanking getting, I guess I was in my mid fifties and looking at the career, looking at the family, got four daughters, kind of looking at the big picture.

And I bumped into a quote of his that said, people mistakenly think life is a treasure hunt and it is not a treasure hunt.

It's more like treasure creation.

That stopped me, right?

Because I think it's deeply true.

It was definitely true to my experience and it's true to how we're entrained to think about our lives.

Like we think, oh, if we hunt these things down and we get them, we chase them, we achieve them, we have them, we possess them, that things will be great.

And that's not true.

There are so many success stories that have hollowness on the inside of them that we see.

It's a treasure creation.
