I was promised that I would have a jet pack by now. Where's my jet pack, right? So absolutely, optimism is a- Health positive experience, but can be a fragile one, if that makes sense. It can be shattered pretty easily. And second, optimists tend to strive less than hopeful people, for instance.

So hope and optimism are both health positive, but hope, unlike optimism, I guess you could say it magnetizes us towards a future we want. through our actions.

Yes. Hope is a gritty positivity. I love that, Amanda. That's perfectly said.

Yeah, I mean, Emil believed this really fiercely. He really thought that we could connect with people who were different from us on any dimension. And, you know, he was really active person in social movements, and he would engage with people on social media who completely disagreed with him, but he would do so with extraordinary good faith, right?

I mean, he would talk with somebody where they had completely opposite perspectives, and he would ask a lot of questions, and it was almost like he was interviewing people. And I remember asking him, like, what why are you feeding the trolls, man? You know, like, why are you doing this? Do you think something's going to come of it?

And he said, well, you know, I think that we so often want to be right and being right feels like the same as being good, like being a good person and being wrong feels feels to us like a threat to who we are. But that's not what I really... I don't actually care as much about being right. I just want to live with integrity, right?

And for him, that meant seeking peace wherever he could find it, creating bridges wherever he could. And That just the way that he talked about that led me to do a bunch of research on, again, the difference between beliefs and values. And it turns out they're really quite different. So a belief is an opinion you have about the world.

A value is what makes you who you are, the things that you care about most, what you want to give to the world. And it turns out that people who are strong in their values, who know what they want, for Emil, it was integrity and peace. For other people, it might be other things. It can be achievement, family, a sense of humor, whatever you want.
