And so that's how you could, if I can get people to think, I want to convey what that means.

And then I want to then understand how to think at the principle level, because then life becomes so much easier, because if you have the principle.

And what I mean by that is like you could look at all the things that are coming at you

and they're just the things coming at you.

If you instead think of each thing as being like a type of species, think of that as like an animal species or something.

Okay, what one of those is it?

And how do I deal with those?

and you have your principle for dealing with those.

Right, figure it's like, I don't know, it's a type of snake that's coming at you.

But everything is another one of those.

So when you start to think about how do I deal with that, how does reality work, and how do I deal with those?

So the way it looks to me, I'll speak figuratively to help to convey the image of what I mean by that,

Maybe there is something like 50 different personality types.

I don't know what the exact number is.

And they are all living out the same scripts, maybe they're just 50 different scripts.

And then through those, maybe there's a certain X hundred things through time.

And it seems all confusing because we're looking at them bit by bit.

You know, it's like you're in a blizzard, a snowstorm, and each of these bits come at you and so on.

If you can kind of step back and just say, okay, okay, what one of those is it?

And it's happened before and it's happened to different people.
