00:00 Wolves had once roamed free there in the west of the United States, right?
00:03 Ruled their ecosystem.
00:06 And they'd been made extinct by hunters or whatever, right?
00:09 And they did an experiment and they introduced or reintroduced 14 wolves into this area.
00:16 And the area was, you know, sort of like from ecosystem definition, shot.
00:21 Like there wasn't a lot of vegetation, not any flowers, there wasn't a lot of water around.
00:26 And they reintroduced these 14 wolves to sort of put them back in the area.
00:30 Well, it's so mind boggling, but like 20 years later or 15 years later, the whole place is
00:37 blossoming and there's water and rivers and everything because what happened was, apparently
00:42 when they killed the wolves, it threw the whole ecosystem out of balance.
00:45 And that's a really interesting metaphor because, you know, you look at it like, is there really,
00:49 you know, is there absolute good, is there absolute bad?
00:51 People killed the wolves to save the sheep from being eaten by the wolves, yet in the
00:54 end by killing the wolf, they destroyed the whole, you know, ecosystem, right?
00:58 It's about balance, you know?
01:00 And I think when people watch the movie The Wolf of Wall Street, it's important that they
01:05 look at that movie and say, you know what?
01:07 Okay, you know, I get it.
01:09 It's glamorous and it's fun, you know, because I'm not going to deny that it was fun.
01:12 It was glamorous, yeah.
01:14 But there's something called balance in there that when you are that character, that never
01:17 ends well.
01:18 And this never ends well.
01:20 If you're out there partying like a rock star every single night, you know, I'm just, please,
01:25 I'm just telling you, it's not going to end well for you because you can only do it for
01:29 so long before something happens and you start to get worse and worse, you'll spiral out
01:32 of control.
01:33 The key is balance.
01:35 The key is moderation in everything that you do.
