So you're never getting like, oh, my God, I'm in agony.

I can't breathe.

But if you did, then the rest of the day would be easy.

Instead, you're getting, oh, my God, the world is closing in on me, and I don't know why I'm so freaked out, and I'm riddled with anxiety all day long for no fucking reason.

I'm having a panic attack, and there's nothing wrong.

That's what's going on.

You're getting your suffering in little doses all day long, and it's driving you fucking crazy.

Yeah.

And that's why you get on SSRIs, and that's why you do this, and that's why you do that, and you join a cult.

And everyone's just trying to figure out a way to feel better.

Everyone's just trying to figure out a way to feel better.

And one of the ways to feel better is voluntary struggling.

You've got to volunteer to put yourself in stressful situations, difficult situations.

Do it on purpose.

If you do that, then the regular world is easier.

Because it's very difficult to do.

Here's a perfect example.

That story you were telling me about shooting that bull in the Oregon backcountry and it's a terrible place to kill a bull and you call up that dude.

Cal.

Which sounds like a fake name.
