The Myth of the Perfect Life: Unveiling the Reality
00:00:00.000 | Another thing that really works for my temperament,
00:00:02.640 | for my peace of mind, for my joy,
00:00:04.960 | is my lack of capacity to make assumptions
00:00:08.880 | about other people's lives.
00:00:10.340 | There's nobody I think has a great.
00:00:13.320 | It's inconceivable, everyone's a human.
00:00:15.460 | It's inevitable.
00:00:16.300 | And by the way, even when someone does have a great,
00:00:18.860 | and people have had, I've had 'em,
00:00:20.960 | people have had 'em eight year, nine year,
00:00:22.660 | six year, 12 year, 20 year runs.

00:00:26.980 | I know friends who I know intimately
00:00:29.640 | and know well enough to say the following,
00:00:31.940 | great 10, seven, 12 years, and then boom, child sick.
00:00:36.200 | Great 10, 12 years, and boom,
00:00:37.940 | father was the rock of the family, gone, heart attack.
00:00:40.880 | So, you know, this concept that somebody's got a great life
00:00:46.560 | is like just incredibly judgmental
00:00:49.440 | and lacks like the nuances I think are required.
00:00:51.840 | And I think we are at a hyperbole
00:00:54.720 | of this judgment world now.
