Yo yo how's it going? So there was a horrifying murder close to where I live in the

sort of place where you would never expect a murder to happen and it's got me and

all my neighbors and my kids and everybody upset and weirded out and everything like that.

And I've been thinking a lot about it psychologically. It messes with your, our minds are designed to

kind of create a narrative to protect us to make us be able to survive a dangerous world.

And it's funny Mike, my youngest son immediately went to a, well, what did he do? He must

have done something. I mean, because we want it to be the victim. We want it to be a,

there are things you can do or not do to avoid this happening to you. You can't just

be walking through the park and all of a sudden leaps, somebody leaps out of the bush

and stabs you to death. That can't be because that would be too terrifying to walk around

with that thought all the time.

Yes, yes it would. And most of the time we don't. We, it's human beings. We are most of us,

unless you're, you know, not mentally healthy, have the ability to, to, to, I guess,

tamp that down or shove that to the back of our mind most of the time. And then when something

happens like, you know, a horrifying fatal car wreck on the very road, you were just driving

or a murder like this or whatever, then all of a sudden, or your friend drops dead of a heart

attack, all of a sudden, you're re-reminded. Oh, yeah, that could happen at any second to me,

or my kids or my wife or whatever. Oh, yeah. And then that hangs around for a while and we're

j out. And then it kind of receipts a little bit and you go back to assuming it won't happen to you.

It's, it's just, it's just the way we're built for survival, I guess. Exactly. Yeah.
