you get older and and the stories that

you tell you tend to tell so I guess I'm
[TS]
01:15:47
◼

trying to say is we start with ourselves
[TS]
01:15:48
◼

and say like oh gosh haha boy I wish I
[TS]
01:15:50
◼

remember heartbreak or tragedy but by
[TS]
01:16:10
◼

and large I think we yesterday seems
[TS]
01:16:12
◼
►
less complicated than tomorrow for the
[TS]
01:16:14
◼
►
prospect of tomorrow and I think that is
[TS]
01:16:16
◼
►
not so different with the stories we
[TS]
01:16:17
◼
►
tell ourselves and that's why we always
[TS]
01:16:19
◼
►
get back to this things used to be
[TS]
01:16:20
◼
►
simpler like every generation thinks the
[TS]
01:16:22
◼
►
kids are are getting stupid and
[TS]
01:16:24
◼

dangerous
[TS]
01:16:24

thought their kids were better than they
[TS]
01:16:28

[TS]
01:16:39
◼
►
generations that that has have skipped
[TS]
01:16:41
◼
►
on that I think almost everybody feels
[TS]
01:16:43
◼
►
like they worked harder than their kids
[TS]
01:16:44
◼
►
and their parents probably worked harder
[TS]
01:16:46
◼

than them and and and everything used to
[TS]
01:16:48
◼
►
seem simpler but you know what things
[TS]
01:16:50
