Or like ants in a jar, where they're trying to rile us up. There's the story about two ants in a jar, black ants and red ants. When you put the ants in the jar together, what happens? They fight. Actually, nothing. The ants just coexist. They're like anting, carrying leaves, whatever the ants do. But if you shake that jar, what do the ants do? They rip each other apart. And I think that might be where we're at today. I think you can already feel it, that there's a recession coming. that it feels hard out there, that it might not be as easy this year as it was last year. You see, I think that all around us we have the signs of this recession. And a wild thing happens, which is the things that felt easy before now make us angry. And so what does that mean? It means we actually have to do a little bit more with less.
