So that's where I want people to understand that the thing that we're really up against is all our own perspective. That's it. That's it. Then the world can be as it is. And it's not to say that it's ideal. And it's not to in any way dismiss that people have very challenging circumstances. They have families to raise with maybe, you know, shortcomings in their income.

And they have certainly right now with whatever happened in LA and people's houses have been burned to the ground. Like there's stuff to deal with. There's shit to handle. But the means by which we do it is what I'm interested in. There's what we do, and then there's the how. We all do shit every day. I'm a busy guy, but am I doing it from a place of obligation, suffering, a feeling of lack?

I'm trying to get away from something I'm trying to fix, or am I doing it for the pure joy of creation and being alive? Clearly, I'm doing the first one. Fucking miserable. Yeah. Yeah, no, so that's a long-winded answer to your question, as is often the case with me. But it's just recognizing, listen, you're not up against circumstances. You're just not.

And we want to make space for the challenges that it is to be human, right? Like this three-dimensional carbon suit I take care of, right? It needs to sleep. It needs food. It needs to get rid of waste products. There's things that it needs in order for me to have this interface with you and everybody else. But that's not my challenge. My challenge isn't what's going on in life. It just isn't.

None of that. That is the reflection. That is the mirror through which I can start to really investigate what am I really up against, which is the limitations of my own perspective. Crack that code. Forget about it.

That's great. And I think just to address one quote, you know, like, so I actually say you can't be held accountable for that which you're oblivious to. So, because you really understand this in a way that you live it, I think, is we are responsible. It's just we might not know. And so that's what then breeds the compassion, right? You go and see experts and they're like, you shouldn't do this.

It's sort of this more lecturing high school, like, derogatory way that people can be spoken to. So I think there's room for compassion. But the responsibility part is where the power lies, right? If I'm fully responsible for my life, even in the ways that I don't fully understand some of my behavior, I'm no longer a victim of circumstance. So that's the first thing for people to look at.

In terms of the questions they can ask themselves, it really comes down to the predominant emotional state that people are in, which is fear. So whatever anyone is dealing with, as best as you can, look at the circumstance, whatever it is, rent that can't be paid, a relationship that's seemingly coming to an end, a parent that is about to die.
