Any principle is not 100 percent true for everybody. Everybody has different tastes. So when I say that, I think in a general sense and certainly for me.

Ah, the biggest joy and helping each other and fun with each other and all the different ways that you can have fun with each other. It's like old friends. There's nothing like it. You know. So anyway, I've been blessed with an amazing wife and family. And then life gives me difficulties. The worst thing that could have ever happened to me, that I would have rather died,

First of all, it's not just my feeling. It's my wife's feeling. It's his brother's feeling, all the love and so on. But what I did is, as we went through it, I meditate. I do transcendental meditation. I've done this since 1969, so I've done it forever. I would say, by the way, there's nothing that I can pass to your listeners that would be more valuable, and there's nothing...
