Anyway, it seems weird that I went to see Bettina in a way because like she's an end of life person.

But I did go to see her very close to when I've got this news.

I was thinking, why am I doing this?

Because she deals with people who are dying and I don't want to die, you know.

But it was wonderful to see her.

Anyway, she's from East Germany and she told me about an expression in Germany called

I don't know the German of it, but it translates to illness, a chance.

Illness, comma, a chance.

And that really helped me.

It's all the books ever written about Buddhism.

Our guests share their life learnings.

People expect that something like that is somehow going to reveal to you some, you know, central thing about life and what's important.

We learn from our adversities.

I sometimes wonder myself looking back, how did I not just absolutely fall apart?

And I guess in some ways I did.
