It creates a bond.

It creates a bond because you have overcome some type of adversity.

an environment that doesn't offer you those things.

I'm not saying go move to Sierra Leone, right?

So, I'm incredibly grateful for just the number of... of miracles, effectively, that ended up with me being born here

having opportunities, et cetera, right?

Hugely beyond grateful.

I do not take it for granted.

And I do think that in the absence of real environmental stressors, we are built to overcome and adapt to stress.

And there's a book called The Comfort Crisis, I believe, that really delves into this.

But it's like, there is a great argument to be made for engineering certain stress into your life, including physical stress.

So... Yeah.

I should say also...

I mean, you know, obviously, multitudes more veterans than I do, but a couple of my best friends are vets.

And I think that if you don't very explicitly, consciously engineer suffering, it sounds strange to put it that way, but it really is like adversity, suffering, stress into your life,

there is, I think, an innate push to manifest it subconsciously while it seeps through the edges.
