| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Happiness Podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. When I was younger, I spent a lot of time with both sets of my grandparents. I was close to them, and I got to know all my grandparents quite well because I spent so much time with them. And I've always had an |
| 0:21.0 | infinity towards older people. I just really enjoy hanging out with people that are older. I love |
| 0:25.7 | hearing about their stories and their lives. I find it fascinating. The one thing I learned about |
| 0:31.0 | one of my grandparents particularly is that they like to often share their aches and pains that they |
| 0:37.1 | have. And when they get together with other people that have aches and pains that they have. And when they get together |
| 0:38.8 | with other people that have aches and pains that are older, they kind of compare who has the worst |
| 0:42.9 | aches and pains. As a youth, I thought it was very funny, but it was also very endearing. It was |
| 0:49.7 | like they were competing who had the worst aches and pains. And my grandparents and the other people that |
| 0:54.8 | came over weren't really upset about it. They were just more competing who had the worst aches and |
| 1:00.3 | pains. All my grandparents were quite happy and good people. But as they age, they had aches and pains. |
| 1:07.2 | But like I said, my one grandmother who really did it the most, she was really a very beautiful, |
| 1:12.4 | jovial soul. And because I've spent so much time over the years with people that are elderly, |
| 1:18.4 | I've learned that most people, if not all people, as they go through life, they have aches and |
| 1:23.9 | pains of the body, and they get aches and pains of the heart too. It is incredibly common |
| 1:29.0 | and just seems to be part of life. I want to share another story relates to my grandparents' story. |
| 1:34.9 | It comes from spiritual lore. Some of you may have heard of it, but it's a good story. There was a |
| 1:41.3 | woman once who really loved her child so deeply. It was really her life. It was her |
| 1:46.8 | only child. And she just adored him. One day he got very, very sick. And the doctors couldn't do |
| 1:53.8 | anything to help him. And then he died. Well, she wasn't ready for him to die. So she went around |
| 2:00.2 | house after house asking if someone could help her by caring for her son and making him well again. |
| 2:05.5 | And they looked at her with sadden and caring hearts, but there is nothing they could do. |
| 2:11.3 | Finally, one person told her, go to the master. |
