1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio and welcome back to Coast to Coast George Norty

3
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: with you along with doctor Harley Rothbart. We're talking about

4
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: his latest work and No Regrets Living. His website is

5
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: his name linked up at Coast to Coast am dot com.

6
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: Heel key number four was appreciate. I kind of like

7
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: this one, Doc, I do too, George. It's a it's

8
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: a recognition that I have had for the last several

9
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: years that when I take a pause every day to

10
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: reflect on what I'm grateful for that day, it's remarkable

11
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: how much changes from day to day. That is, how

12
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: much more I have to be grateful for today than

13
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: I did even yesterday. Things that hadn't even happened yesterday

14
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: that did happen today. And I'm grateful of course for

15
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: things in the past too. And by taking a few

16
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: minutes and for me, that takes the form of prayer.

17
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: For other people, it takes the form of meditation, it

18
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: takes the form of quiet reflection. It may be running,

19
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: it may be it may be exercising and getting an

20
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: endorphin rush and pausing long enough during that to appreciate

21
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: the ability to exercise, the ability to run. But I

22
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: think it's very important for people every day to just

23
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: take a few quiet moments and ask themselves, what do

24
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: I have to be grateful for today? My health, my family,

25
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: my business, my progress as a human. All of those

26
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: things are worthy of gratitude. And once a day, I

27
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: think we need to pause to appreciate waking up as appreciation,

28
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: isn't it, boy, That's that's the truth. And to be

29
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: perfectly candid, sometimes I appreciate that a couple of times

30
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: a night, And yes, we should appreciate every day that

31
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: we wake up. And I had significant heart surgery a

32
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: quadruple bypassed six years ago. And when I after that procedure,

33
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: all I wanted was a return to routine, was a

34
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: return to normalcy, to be able to get up in

35
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: the morning without pain, to be able to roll over

36
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: in bed, to be able to go for a walk

37
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: around the block. And I became astutely grateful for the

38
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: things that I had so often taken for granted. And

39
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: I have not taken things for granted since then. Absolutely,

40
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,839
Speaker 1: where'd they get the veins from your leg or your arm,

41
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: my leg, my leg and the lead took longer to

42
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: heal than my chest. It was a procedure. Next one

43
00:02:54,760 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: except what's that? Well? I believe in fate, and fate

44
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: has been my way of explaining so many things that

45
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: happen in life that otherwise don't have an explanation. When

46
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: my kids were young, I was able to explain, you know,

47
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: a disappointing test, or a failure to get into the

48
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: college that they had hoped to get into, or an

49
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: accident that prevented them from getting where they had to

50
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: be but from which they emerged safely. I was able

51
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: to ascribe all of that to fate and explain that

52
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: to them. But recently I've become aware of really specific

53
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: occurrences in life that without which we wouldn't be here

54
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: or we wouldn't enjoy the life that we have, and

55
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: that those occurrences in selection points throughout our life are

56
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: really a matter of fate. And it begs the question

57
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: of treating termination and do we have do we have

58
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: freedom of freedom of choice? Do we have free will

59
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: in life? And those are questions that are difficult to answer,

60
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: and they go back to key number one, and that

61
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: is belief. I believe that there is a fate for

62
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: all of us. But I also believe that we have

63
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: free will, and I recognize the conflict. I recognize that

64
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: those are indirect conflict, but because of a sense of belief,

65
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: because I believe that there is knowledge and understanding greater

66
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: than greater than me, and greater than I will ever have,

67
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: I'm able to accept. In key number five, I'm able

68
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: to accept fate. I'm able to accept reward and punishment,

69
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: and again a controversial thing to accept, but I don't know.

70
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: I cannot attest to the reward and punishment that comes

71
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: from above, or reward and punishment that we may find

72
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: in an af your life. I'm hopeful that both of

73
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: those things are true. But I can accept reward and

74
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: punishment that we feel immediately by our actions. We all

75
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: know the feeling of reward that we experience when we

76
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: do something good, when we help someone, when we benefit

77
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: the world in some way, and we all know the

78
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: feeling of punishment, of the guilt of doing something wrong.

79
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: That's immediate, And so I accept reward and punishment. Doctor

80
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: next key is seek explain that one for us. We

81
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: all need to be searching for things in our life.

82
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: The most important pardon me. The most important I believe

83
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: is purpose. I think we all need to find purpose

84
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: in our lives. And I look around at nature, animals, birds,

85
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: and it's clear what their purpose is. It's instinctual. Their

86
00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: purpose is survival, their purpose is breeding, their purpose is

87
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: raising their young, and their purpose is instinctual. Humans have

88
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: really the responsibility to find purpose beyond instinct. We have

89
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: to find things in our life that are not necessarily reflexive,

90
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: that are not necessarily obvious, that keep us going, to

91
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: give us reason to live. There's a very famous psychologist

92
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: named Victor Frankel, controversial in many ways, but he wrote

93
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: a book called Man's Search for Meaning, and that book

94
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: really implies and that without a sense of purpose, without

95
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: seeking purpose, our lives are shorter, our lives are less fulfilling,

96
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: and and we lose the reason to live. And that

97
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: that's at the root of suicide, at the root of

98
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: the depression that you mentioned earlier. I think we need

99
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: to seek self forgiveness. Many of us, myself included, blame

100
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,119
Speaker 1: ourselves for things that we may indeed have done wrong,

101
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: that we may be guilty of. But I think we

102
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: have to speak forgiveness for ourselves and that's an important

103
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: part of No Regrets Living. The last key is grow.

104
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: Explain that one. I urge everyone to identify mile markers

105
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: in their lives, that is, inflection points, turning points in

106
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: their lives where they can recognize their personal growth. I

107
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: do that in the way of a personal reflection in

108
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: the book, but I think it's I think it's useful, helpful,

109
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: important for everyone to appreciate the fact to recognize that

110
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: with each day we do grow, and to identify those

111
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: specific mile markers of grow in our lives, because that

112
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: helps us to recognize that we are different today than

113
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: we were yesterday. Hopefully we're better today than we were yesterday.

114
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: But if we're not better today than we were yesterday,

115
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: that's what we should strive for for tomorrow. And I

116
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: think those mile markers of growth in our lives lead

117
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: us there. And my favorite country music song is Live

118
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: like You're Dying. It's a it's a fabulous song that

119
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: that wishes that everyone could experience the sense of thinking

120
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: they were dying soon and they could, you know, love

121
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: more strongly, feel more deeply, and appreciate everything in their

122
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: lives in a more compassionate way. And I think that's

123
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: part of growth as well, to realize that we are

124
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: all here temporarily and that we should try to live

125
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 1: like we're dying. Did your father talk much about Auschwitz

126
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: to you? He really didn't, and I'm sorry that I

127
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: didn't ask more. It's a I'm not sure he would

128
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: have told you more, doc. I think he would have.

129
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: I think he would have been hesitant to, but he

130
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: always tried to protect us, and so you're probably right.

131
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: And I have an experience that I talk about in

132
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: the book with my grandfather, not my father, who was

133
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: asked to relive a horrific experience that he had in

134
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: Europe where he watched his mother and his sister die

135
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: at the hands of the Cossacks in a pagrum, and

136
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: he buried that story, buried that story for seventy years

137
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: until he was interviewed by a local newspaper about his experience,

138
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: and he told the reporter that story, and then the

139
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: next day he lapsed into a catatonic state, which I

140
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: now recognized. I was young at the time, but I

141
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: now recognized PTFD. It was post traumatic stress of reliving

142
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: that experience. And so as I think that asking my

143
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: father too much might have caused him to relive that

144
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: experience in a harmful way too. I wish I would know.

145
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 1: I wish I would have known more about his experience.

146
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 1: I know the number that was tattooed on his arm.

147
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: I know what day he was taken into the camps.

148
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: I know what day he was liberated from the camps.

149
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: But that's all because of the United States Holocost Museum

150
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: in Washington, DC, where those records are kept. I didn't

151
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: hear that from him. And you know, my father was

152
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: in World War Two and he really did not like

153
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: talking about the war, right, right, And I think you're

154
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: you're right, You're absolutely right, and probably for that reason.

155
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: I think he was protecting you and as my father

156
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: was probably protecting me, and the rekindling of those memories

157
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: could have been very, very painful. Let's tie in No

158
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: Regrets Living with what you say was almost like the

159
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: sequel to miracles. We have seen what kind of miracles?

160
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: And I guess one could describe a miracle is just

161
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: life itself, couldn't we? Right? I think that's the I

162
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: think that's the big aha for me that resulted in

163
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: the No Regrets Living book, And that is really what

164
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: Albert Einstein said that I'm the kind of person who

165
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: sees miracles everywhere. But but there are there are lots

166
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: of different categories of miracles. There's the small ones of

167
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: seeing a virus explode human cells in a test tube

168
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: and having no idea how that could possibly happen, and

169
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: how something like that could result in shutting down basically

170
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: the entire world, as we have been shut down for

171
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: the past a year and a quarter. But there are

172
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: also the small miracles of seeing someone who has been

173
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: sick get better. I had, as I mentioned this, I

174
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: had this long zipper scar on my chest from heart surgery.

175
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: But that's, in my mind, no more miraculous than when

176
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: we heal from a paper cut, because our body is

177
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: equipped with first responders, first responders cell that recognize any

178
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: kind of injury, even if we don't appreciate it. We

179
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: recognize a paper cut. But there are abnormal cells and

180
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: abnormal processes going on in our bodies all the time,

181
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: and miraculously our bodies figure out a way to deal

182
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: with that. And then there are the big miracles. There's

183
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: the splitting of the Red Sea miracle. There's the flood

184
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 1: Noah's flood miracle, there's the Manna from heaven miracle, and

185
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: I wasn't there for any of those that I can't

186
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: say that they did or didn't happen. But historians have

187
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: found equivalence in modern times, so that the Manna from

188
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: Heaven was thought to be miraculous when it first appeared

189
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: to the Hebrews walk wandering in the desert, but then

190
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: they got bored of it. People are people are shickle,

191
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: and they asked Moses. The story goes in the Bible,

192
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 1: they asked Moses for meat, and miraculously, quail landed at

193
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: their seat to see six hundred thousand Hebrews wandering in

194
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: the desert. And then there's this report in the New

195
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: York Times that says every year the quail come back

196
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: to Alexandria Egypt. And the story goes that in the

197
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 1: migration path of the quail, they oftentimes land by the

198
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: tens of thousands in Egypt and are trapped by Egyptian

199
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: bird trappers, who then use the quail meat and sell

200
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: the quail meat. And so it seems less unbelievable or

201
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: more believable to avoid the double negative. It seems more

202
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: believable when we realize that this happens in modern time.

203
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: One of the ten plagues was locusts. Well, locusts invaded

204
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: Egypt and Northern Africa in the year twenty twenty. Last year,

205
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: there was an infestation of locusts in Egypt and in

206
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 1: northern Africa. So it wasn't a miracle that the locusts

207
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: came to Egypt. Maybe maybe not. Maybe the miracle was

208
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: that they came when they did, that the timing was miraculous.

209
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: The Red Seas split miraculous. Well, there have been studies

210
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: that Lake Erie splits, that there are certain windstorms that

211
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: cause water to recede and to create a path to

212
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: walk on in the middle of a lake. Well, maybe

213
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: that's what happened that. Maybe the miracle was that it

214
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: happened when it did, just when it was supposed to happen.

215
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: So I see miracles, and none of those are, in

216
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: my mind greater than the fact that a sperm meat

217
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: an egg and creates a human baby. In my mind,

218
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: that's one of the greatest miracles of all, and that

219
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: includes the splitting on the Red Sea. I think I

220
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: think rain is a miracle. I mean, what are the

221
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: odds that plants need water in order to exist. It

222
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: obviously can't walk to a lake and drink, so it's

223
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: got to wait for something to dump rain on it.

224
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: And it rains. I mean, that's a miracle that George,

225
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: that is that is a an almost exact teraphrasing of

226
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: what I wrote about it. And I take it even

227
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: one step further. And not only is rain miraculous, but

228
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: looked at the whole system that provides rain. It rains,

229
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: the rain evaporates, it goes back into the clouds. The

230
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: clouds again produced the rain, and everything is nourish, not

231
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: just plants, but we could turn on the faucet. That's right,

232
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: we're nourished. And the air that we breathe, the oxygen

233
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: that we brew, comes from those plants which are nurtured

234
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: from by the rain, and they in turn breathe the

235
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: carbon dioxide that we emit that we exhale. And that's

236
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: a remarkable system. I mean it. Imagine trying to create that.

237
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: Imagine a human being trying to create that. And then

238
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: go back to key number one. Don't we have to

239
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: believe that there's something greater than us. Don't we have

240
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: to believe that we are not the be all and
