You definitely can't take it with you.
And I think some of these people, for example, the guy on the Netflix documentary.
Brian Johnson, yeah.
Yes, he's basically, in my view, not living a life.
It has no purpose other than a sort of narcissistic extension program.
But that's not living anything.
Viktor Frankl, who I mentioned in the book, who was a neurologist as well as a philosopher and a deep thinker and had been in Auschwitz, he talks about different attitudes.
And in particular, the attitude to creating and having a purposeful life, whether that's painting or building a business or anything that...
draws on some creative spirit, but also he talks about two other things.
The second is clearly important.
It's our relationship with other people.
And I don't know what Brian Johnson's relationship is with other people.
From what I've seen, it's certainly a little strange.
And then Frankl talks about the last one, which is, I think, relevant here, which is our attitude to suffering.
So you mentioned something earlier, which was about pain, trying to remove pain when we die.
But actually, I think in truth, we want to be aware that we're dying because it's well, we'll only do it once.
And a little pain may actually not be a bad thing.
I think what we're trying to alleviate is suffering pain.
more than pain.
If you think about this, how long do we spend?
