Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. I don't know about you but I enjoy movies and probably like you I have some of my

favorite actors and actresses. Well one of my favorite actors is Will Smith. He's been in a lot of popular movies over the years.

But one of his movies, which you may not have heard of, came out in 2008, and it is called 7 pounds. If you haven't seen it, I would highly recommend it, but I

at the beautiful engagement ring that he gave her, and they're so in love so deeply in love but like

process he hits a van their car goes out of control, the van flips, everyone in the van dies, and his

fiancé dies too.

not live unless he dies, which he's willing to do.

Clearly the premise here is he hurt a lot of people, cause or death, and in any way he can,

he's trying to make up for it, so he gives back to these people through his own body and his money and everything that he had, including his life.

Now I am in no way condoning or condemning or in any way judging his behavior.

It's a movie. It's a good movie worth watching. But what I want to talk about in today's

podcast, which is as important as what Will Smith is going through, is that sometimes in life we do things intentionally or

unintentionally where we really hurt other people or animals or someone and there's a
