There's no kids.
There's nothing.
So this is the trick of capitalism, right?
To like sell you something that is not about that thing because, okay, so Abby wants a lake house.
So what is the, lake house means rest.
It just means rest to her.
It's just a symbol for stopping and being.
So then we're going to get another job, save up to buy this thing so we can rest or we could just remove the lake house and rest now.
Now, I was talking like this and saying, is it possible that to change this metric, we need to change this metric?
And is it possible that we have right now every single thing we've ever hoped and dreamed for and everything we've ever needed or wanted?
And is it possible that for the rest of our lives, all we have to do is sit still and love the people around us and love each other and never strive for another thing?
And do you know what sweet Abby said?
I was telling you backstage, she looked at me and she goes, her face was just like ashen.
And she goes, I feel like you're talking about end of life stuff.
But you guys, I think that was so important that she said that.
I think capitalism has fooled us so much that if we actually start talking about enoughness, it sounds like death.
Like people only have enough right before they die.
That's when you get to rest.
