Sebastian Junger

We're all capable of sacred work.

Right.

That's what it means to me.

So when she said that, I'm like, OK.

I've been going to front lines my whole life and coming back with knowledge that, you know, in my most grandiose moments, right, I thought might help humanity.

Like what's going on in – no, I wasn't in Ukraine.

But right now, like what's going on in Ukraine?

What knowledge can we come back with that will help the world and the United States make better decisions about how to preserve human dignity and human life?

Whatever that means, right?

So that's – at its best, it's sort of a sacred task like many others are.

Yeah.

So, and now I'm not going to front lines anymore.

I went to the ultimate front line.

I went to my own mortality.

The front line we're all headed to and that most of us are scared of.

And I was allowed to look over the edge.

And then I came back.

I was allowed to come back.

Did I come back with sacred knowledge?

In other words, with knowledge that would be helpful to me and to other people, lead their lives with less fear, more dignity, et cetera.
