Because I think that's the other side of this is like, what is well-being like?
So that's just, I think, another thing.
Oh,
Well, I have the special place of not being a doctor within this great group of people.
So I have the privilege of not thinking that my job is to alleviate suffering.
I don't think the job of any of us are actually to alleviate suffering.
There's a lot of hubris in that.
First, knowing what someone else's suffering is.
Second, thinking we can do it.
And third, what do we do to ourselves?
when we don't alleviate suffering.
That's the huge pain among us.
That's the pain among my colleagues when they can't alleviate suffering because we set this up, we've marketed comfort so much now that when we can't, we are so hard on ourselves and that's painful.

It's that second arrow they talk about in Buddhism.
It's like you aim to alleviate suffering and you didn't do it and now you're a failure.

we medicate with drugs.
We're just at the tip of the iceberg.
