actually quite I'm going to try to pull this off but it's not going to be so easy to pull off because it it revolves around a basic idea which is made explicit in the Kabbalah and I'm a wary of Kabbalah the reason why I would like to engage in this is because it makes it very very real and relatable are we ready okay full engagement like this what happened to me on the on the train this morning get onto the train it's pretty pretty crowded and an old lady gets on she's got this one of these shopping carts he's legendary shopping carts and she's on the train and the trains jolts and she Rams her her shopping cart inadvertently into the woman standing in front of her things start to get ugly very quickly they're escalating screaming match screaming match yeah she's getting you screaming match yeah she's getting you know it is known that these ladies with their tradies can be extremely extremely lethal and luckily there's an intervention the security guard comes up and he does that kind of he sorts of that was just like crazy how quickly things escalate so I was thinking about that I was as I was coming to Shiva and then I just I just totally made that up didn't it didn't exist I just totally fabricated it on the spot right now
