0:22.4	Notice that I didn't say everything is going to be okay.
0:24.9	I don't know that.
0:26.2	I don't believe that in general, but some things are okay.
0:30.9	And if you are a person who is acutely hyper aware of all of the bad things in the world,
0:36.0	if you are, like me, a person who skews towards
