We care about each other.

We want each other to be happy and we can misread each other.

And then just like the drink example, nobody wants to question it and we just keep doing it.

I promise you, one favor is just...

go to your family or your significant other and think about the things you do on a routine basis.

I have friends that have every Friday, we have salmon night.

Yep.

And we watch a movie.

Maybe everybody wants to do that.

It could be true.

It's these basic day-to-day things and just say, honestly, do we still like doing this?

You know what I mean?

And just ask, you will be shocked at how many of these, someone's going, well, actually, if you give me the permission to be honest,

Like, actually, maybe we could shake that up a bit.

So if illusions can happen amongst tightly knit relationships, it's not surprising that they can happen in a country of 300 million people at a societal level.

Think about it.

You have all these identities and you're tied to these groups that matter to you, but they consist of people you're probably never going to meet.

And you have to guess, what does that group believe?

You know what I mean?

So I can know what it is I'm trying to align to.
