That's where I'd start. And I would edit it together in such a way that you might, in reading those stories, think, something's going on here. Something's going on here that I could be a part of. That's how I do it.

That seriously, no one has ever asked a question like that. That's a good one. Yeah, it is. That's a bizarre one. I can't believe I. I think it'd be a powerful book. Actually, probably all my books are at some level me trying to. Answer that question. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

There's this interesting line in the, I point to this, but there's this interesting line where Jesus says, you'll do greater things than these. And it always strikes me, I wonder if there was a Jesus who came back, I wonder if he'd be like, why are you guys still talking about me? My whole point was that you'd go out and do it.

I actually think some of the Bible writers would be like, why do you keep repeating me? Thanks, fair play, appreciate it. But the goal was that you would carry the story forward. And help the people in your time and your day, yeah. Right, right. The goal would be that you would learn what you could from what we went through, but then new metaphors, new images.

Like, for example, artificial intelligence. This already you have people saying, hey, hey, wait a second. Not all progress is progress. This could come with all sorts of things attached to it that we might be really wise to just watch carefully. Well, this is new technology. This is new fire.

so how will it be used what will it do what will it say about what it means to be human yeah um these are all the very questions that we're asking now which the i mean they're talking about iron they're talking about stepping out of a cycle of despair all it's all the same sorts of questions yeah i don't think i asked you this question on the last time so i'm going to ask it to you here and this is called the three truths oh wow okay i think i asked you this one before no because i started asking i think after you came on you've written how many books now

The first truth would be use the fine china. Because when Kristen and I were married, I learned that you register for two different kinds of plates. There's the everyday plates. And I was just watching this as a dude who couldn't care less about any of this. And then you register for this fine china.

And the fine china is basically these boxes of really nice plates that you haul around from apartment to apartment that you use once or twice a year. And when you do use them, like don't break them, take good care of them. And when I went through a bad burnout a number of years ago, like crashed, hit the wall, didn't know if I could work again. I sort of started to get back on my feet.

I started serving my boys breakfast on the fine china because we only have today. So we're going to use the fine China because we're feasting because we have no guarantee of tomorrow. So the first thing I'd say is use the fine China. Second thing I would say is forgive everybody for everything. And that doesn't mean condone what they did. It doesn't mean brush it under the rug.

It just means you have to take part in a larger flow of forgiveness because you hold on to any of that bitterness for anything anybody has done to you and it will eat you alive. You will drink rat poison and then wonder why the rat isn't dying. So forgive, forgive, forgive. And then the third thing I would write down is everything is spiritual. It's all connected. It has infinite depth.
