It's like, wow, and I was really upset over what my mom said this morning. It just seems so trifling by comparison. So the uncomfortable truth is just this realization that the vast majority of the things that you spend your time and energy caring about are not going to matter in the long run.

And on the one hand, that can be a very depressing realization, but on the other hand, it can be a very liberating realization because it allows you to let go of those things.

Sure. The uncomfortable truth is that, you know, in the grand scheme of things, the vast majority of the things that we say and do are not going to matter. Yeah. You know, it reminds me like when I was at school, I remember taking an astronomy course and like just learning how vast the universe is and how like long the history of the earth is and how many billions of people have come before.

Well, I think we all spend a lot of our energy avoiding that truth. So we convince ourselves that some little project in our life is like life and death important or something we say to another person is like, if we embarrass ourselves in front of somebody, it's like, oh my God, our lives are over. It's the uncomfortable truth. It's a scary thing that we avoid accepting.
