I mean, there's a lot wrong with it, but I don't blame anyone for thinking because this is how humans naturally think.

So a big part of, I think, personal development is training yourself to think in unnatural ways.

Mm-hmm.

Because our natural way of thinking is what biology is for.

And evolution does not select for happiness.

It selects for survival.

So the people whose genes are getting passed down are not the people who are like waiting until they can afford to have kids.

They're the people who are having nine kids.

Like those are the genes that are getting passed down, right?

And so we have an interesting problem as humans because like a lot of – if we want to be happy, then we have to go against a lot of our programming.

So I don't think – and the reason I kind of mentioned that tangent is because this idea of is it good or bad.

That kind of black and white thinking is very biological.

But that's not what reality is, even though it's biological.

We think about things as good or bad, right?

So I think it's both good and bad.

So I think this is where I have kind of like this detached like Vairagya kind of perspective, which is like it is what it is.

So it has certain effects.

Then you decide if you want those or not, right?

So on the one hand, it clearly pushes us to be financially secure, but it comes at like a price, which is usually like peace, contentment, this kind of stuff.

Like I'm sure your parents are really proud of you now, right?
