So you look at people in other countries that live in villages that don't have...
that much in ways of means.
And they still seem to have everything that a person could need to get by.
And not everything as in they aren't without struggle or that they don't need help or aid or anything, but just in the bluntest of terms, I'm not trying to be glib here, but they didn't just all die.
How did that happen if they don't have the same resources or if their yearly salary amounts to...
$200 a year to us or maybe even lower, right?
And that thing happened because rather than outsourcing every action that would come from a family or a community, they just do it for each other, right?
And I think that there is a reminder that we need sometimes that everything that you could want is like in the other people around you, you know?
And so I would hope that

But I also think that sometimes, we're talking very specific situations, there are some people who are
going to a therapist in the way that they could have the option if it was available to them to just talk to a friend, you know?
And so not saying that there aren't times and places where therapy is deeply important, but for the most part, there are people that you talk to about certain things.
There's things you go to your mom with or your dad with or your therapist with or a friend with.
And I think a lot of, a lot of, um,
a lot of it is getting zeroed in on who can I pay to make sure I have this experience.
But I then, I then think also the levels of access that you think you have versus, versus what you actually have.
And so, um,
