| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. There's a sad and perhaps even dark |
| 0:13.8 | truth about being human. Sometimes bad things do happen to good people. |
| 0:21.6 | We all know these stories. |
| 0:23.6 | It may be a story you're living with right now. |
| 0:26.6 | Not far from my home a few years ago, there was a couple who had three children sitting in their |
| 0:32.6 | back seat of their car, and they had gotten off the freeway, and they were waiting for the |
| 0:36.6 | light to change so they could get onto their street that they were heading towards. |
| 0:40.5 | Well, as they were sitting still, waiting for the light to change, a semi-truck couldn't stop and plowed into them, and ended up killing all three of their children. |
| 0:50.8 | The couple survived and were okay, but all three other children had died. |
| 0:56.0 | You may have even heard about it because it didn't make national and international news. |

| 1:14.4 | did not give up on each other. They stayed married. And then several years later, they had triplets |
| 1:21.0 | born to them. I never met or worked with a couple, but I can tell they didn't give up. When bad things happen to us, we look |
| 1:30.3 | so hard for reasons why it's happening. Did I do something to cause it? Isn't my fault. And yes, |
| 1:37.7 | sometimes we make choices that have negative consequences, but sometimes we are just victims of negative events. And it doesn't do us any good |
| 1:47.8 | to blame ourselves. But what we are responsible for when these dark nights come is how we choose |
| 1:55.9 | to handle them. That's what we're responsible for. At the time of this recording, there's been two terrifically horrible hurricanes that have gone |
| 2:05.9 | through Florida and the southern states of America, and they have destroyed people's lives, |
| 2:12.2 | they have destroyed people's homes. |
| 2:14.6 | And it's incredibly tragic. |
| 2:16.9 | But are any of them responsible for the hurricane? Of course not. |
