00:00What message do you feel like people can kind of take from this in the long run with all the economic turmoil and grocery prices rise, gas prices rise, and, you know, in the midst of a war going on on the other side of the world?
00:12You know, that's a huge question. I can't answer it the way I would like to because we could talk all day about that.
00:20I think, first of all, you can check yourself because if you don't check yourself and define boundaries for yourself, then you lose all profile as to who you are.
00:34You know, who are you? And who are you is determined by what you won't do.
00:42You know, we all want to get ahead. We all want to prosper. We all have anger. We all have issues.
00:49But there are some things that you ought not to do to me because of what you went through, you know, and I should not be victimized by your pain.
01:00And what will you not do? And so I think this is a great opportunity to do what you and I are doing now and have this overall conversation.
01:09That's what we're doing. That's what I want to come out of the movie where people walk away talking about greed and rage and anger and suppressed rage.
01:19In the movie, this is not suppressed rage, but a lot of us have internalized rage.
01:24And then one day we snap and people think, oh, my God, I didn't know that was in you.
01:29And, you know, you break a chair and you're going around your office talking about, you know, I'm flipping out.
01:36Now, that's the tipping point we're at psychologically because of the traumas that we have ingested ancestrally, much less in the contemporary setting of where we are.
01:51We have had generations of trauma.
01:53But one final thing, high prices, inflation is is no different than depression.
02:00It's not having what you need when you need it.
02:03Now, there are different definitions.
02:04If you go to the dictionary, there are different causes.
02:08But on the average person, whether there is no bread or there's bread and I can't buy it, it still means the same.
02:15I'm hungry, you know, and our grandparents and parents survive much worse with much less and raise more children and made it.
02:31And so it's unfortunate we may have to recalibrate and somebody say that's easy for you to say you're not there, but you don't know my story.
02:41I was there. Lights off, water off, car repossessed, picking apples to feed my kids, couldn't go to the grocery store.
02:47I absolutely understand what it's like to be there.
02:50But I had to survive and I had to work and I had to fight.
02:55Bad times don't last, but good people do.
02:58Amazingly said, that's how you needed that today.
03:04Thank you so much for your time.
03:07I really appreciate it.
