Why do people have problems?

Why do we have problems?

You step back, you realize you're sitting on a planet, it's been in the middle of nowhere's,

it's just a very tiny, tiny planet,

and there's lots of things happening on the planet.

There's animals, there's things to do, there's weather,

there's so much.

There's not a single moment of your life that there wasn't something going on.

You have to pedal.

You have to pray.

You have to do a single thing.

There's just stuff going on and you get to come down here and hang out for a while.

Not very long. Don't worry.

It's like going to camp you come home eventually

all right i mean how many years what 80 90 the earth has been here for 4.5 billion years and you can't

handle 80 or 90 and then you stop and you look at it and you say well well, maybe you'd rather be on Mars. Maybe rather be on Jupiter. I don't think so. There's absolutely nothing going on there. Nothing. Dirt, gas. Nothing. Would you like to go there and hang out there? Go visit. People want to go visit Mars. Fine, go visit. You better

figure out something to do. Listen to me. It's that simple. You have to step back out of yourself

for a moment and realize what is actually going on. Because what you're worried about and what you're

thinking about and what you're having issues with is nothing. It's just nothing. It's nothing compared to what's going on. So you happen to land on the nicest planet that anyone has ever seen. We've spent telescopes out there. We've got probes out there. We've got all kinds of stuff. And no one has seen squat, not an amoeba, not a protozoa, not bacteria.
