So this is something Joel had said to me, Joel Pollack, we were on the phone the other day and he had such a good way of explaining to me.

We were talking about Passover and what freedom really is.

And that, you know, sometimes like you're walking across the desert to get to, you know, your freedom.

And maybe the first group that was walking, you know, most of them didn't make it, but they also still knew that they were like walking away from like, you know, slavery.

So they still had all of that like slave mentality on them.

Like we were slaves, like, you know, maybe that first group that had to face it

still had to carry that burden, but they paved the way for the second group to be like, oh, the people that went before me, they're the ones that broke through so then we could come after.

And that's why the second wave of people are the ones that really made it.

So I feel like maybe this is the first rung of that type of thing.

So the people that are living in Iran right now,

you know, that had to live through all of this, like they're kind of paved the way for their freedom.

I hope, and I hope that more make it behind them.

That was so inarticulate.

But when Joel said it to me, I was like, wow, that's a really good way of looking at like what's, what you're already living with and what you have to carry on top of what you want.

So it's a big burden.

So I pray in whatever way I pray for anyone living that way.

So Marcella or Owen, did you want to add on to anything with that story?

Perhaps.

All right.

We'll move on.
