Like it is it like if you look out at nature, like nature is abundant.
And this specific temple was a Krishna temple.
And so they talked about Krishna and how Krishna was abundant, you know, in the Bhagavad Gita.
And
After that, I was like, no, that's really true that it is just in nature to be abundant.
You have a lemon bush out there, and when that bush blossoms with fruit, there's so many lemons on there.
It's not just one lemon.
It's abundant with lemons.
And we actually used to have a lemon tree in our backyard as well, and they'd be all on the ground, and our dog would be running and getting them and eating them.
But yeah, and so after that, I started to realize, no, actually it is in our true nature to be abundant.
And so that's kind of...
where your phrase that you just brought up, like, it's the root of all evil, it kind of shifted for me, and I now look at it as it really is a tool, right?
It really is a tool, and what you do with that tool very much is up to the person, and it's sort of like testosterone.
Just thinking like from scientific standpoint, where they've actually shown that more testosterone, at least in animals, it doesn't necessarily make animals more aggressive.
It just amplifies their nature.
And so it didn't make them more aggressive.
Right.
It's just like some of them became more loving.
And so money kind of works that way, too, where you give someone more money.
It doesn't necessarily make them evil.
