They chose to lie. If you say there's something to be learned regardless of whether it's true or not. I thought you were going someplace else with this. I thought you were talking about the tragedy of the fire, which as an example I use in The Mindful Body to show that events are not good, bad.

I was at a friend's house for dinner. I come back late, which never happens. And all of my neighbors were outside because my house had burned down. And, you know, just pretty scary. Okay. A couple of funny things happened. They said they were able to save my dogs, which that wasn't funny. That was wonderful. But they couldn't save the parrot. I didn't have a parrot.

Well, Roger Brown, when he was alive, gave me this stuffed parrot that was in a cage. Oh, my. Okay. As a kid who owned parrots, I was like frightened for a moment. Couldn't save the parrot. Okay.

And he said this was the first time in his 20-year career that the damage was worse than the call. Most people, oh my God, oh my God, it's not so bad. Here, I had already lost everything, so it didn't make sense to throw my sanity away after it. Okay, so that was the first thing. I move into the Charles Hotel, and I'm a sight to be seen with my two little dogs.

And it's Christmas, all the presents coming in, you know, we're burned, all the ones going out. It's now Christmas Eve and I go out for dinner and I come back to the hotel room and it's full of gifts. Not from the owner of the hotel, not from the management, but from the so-called little people. the chambermaids, the people who parked my car, the waiters and waitresses.
