that you're just being mean to yourself, like a bully, bullying little children, that there's something very mean spirited about doing that to yourself. You wouldn't probably wouldn't do that to other people, but also that those, those messages are just as the Buddha so often described them. And he would stand on a hill and shout to his followers.

We had that Tom, that Buddhist monk on the app recently, and he's also going to be on our Christmas edition coming out on December 23rd. But he talks about—and I didn't—you can't always understand what, you know, these— wise people are saying. And it's even harder because he's from New Jersey. And you think that he's going to be from Thailand or Tibet or something.

But he's just this really awesome young, young fellow. But he talked about, I asked him, you know, can you be happy all the time? And he said, well, you know, clouds do come into the sky. But the sun is always shining. And You know, and the clouds are not the sky, something like that. I just saw that. That was really, really neat that it's like that poem you can get, let go at any time you want.

You can let that self die. That's so beautiful. committed to needing things and trying to be special and thinking you're not good enough and just let all of that die. And when you die, that is actually not a funeral, but a rebirth, a celebration, like a birthday celebration, or suddenly you're alive. And you have to have experienced it, I think, to grasp what's
