So here after the tragedy of our daughter death, after we basically worked very hard to save her life for years and by all accounts were succeeding and then boom. Out of nowhere she's struck by a car when she's following the rules, which is hard for a kid who's bipolar and struck by a car and died just like that. 1 minute she was having curry with me at home, next couple of hours she just hit disappeared, didn't come home
So my wife's been working on this book based on her crazy life. It's a story of survival and not even just surviving, but obviously somehow protecting your heart and getting through this s*** with more of yourself and not less somehow. And she was working on it. And then her father went into his place of business. He had kind of mostly retired and was having a feud with his business partner
And then I think of those buckets existing on either side of a coin, right? Statistically we know that no matter how many times you flip it, 50% are going to be heads up and 50% are going to be tails up. But there are times when flip, flip, flip. And there's a long sequence of either all good things or all bad things

I don't believe in that God at all like you. I don't really believe in H*** or that God would punish us for eternity. I don't really believe in Heaven the way that many people do. There's this saying from the Gnostic Gospels where Jesus it's a compendium of the sayings of Jesus

You know, we we just we our neophytes were new and, you know, to quote Dave Matthews, you know, we climbed out of our monkey trees and we started to reason and think and see that sometimes bad things happen. And as we evolved and continued evolving into who we are now, like I said before, I think that's where religion came. We tried to assign meaning. And I don't think that God interacts. I think things just happen because we make choices
