As the frost of winter melts into the warmth of spring, my Uncle Danny, affectionately known as Dan Coletta, and I sit by the fireside to dissect the enigma of love. With the season of affection upon us, we find ourselves mulling over the profound effects love has on our lives, from the sacrifices it demands to the unbridled joy it delivers. Whether it's the parental instincts that compel us to elevate our children's needs or the leadership roles that charge us with the welfare of those we guide, our conversation takes us through the complexities of love's impact on family and beyond. We relive the simple pleasures of our youth, tossing snowballs with the innocence of childhood friendship, and recognize these as the roots of our understanding of love.
The tapestry of our dialogue weaves through the essential ties between respect and love, revealing how these forces shape our interactions both at home and in the workplace. Dealing with a difficult team member? We've got insights on fostering a respectful, drama-free atmosphere and ensuring a positive team spirit. At home, we delve into the art of conflict resolution through love and understanding, and how these elements can fortify the bonds within our family. Cultural nuances in love's expression catch our eye, especially the candid American way of saying "I love you," as we ponder how such declarations vary across the globe.
Dan and I round off our heartfelt exchange with the transformative effects of love and the art of communication. From the power held by a simple greeting to the profound impact of face-to-face conversations, we affirm that love remains an omnipresent force capable of healing societal ailments like drug addiction, through the compassion that fills the voids in our hearts. We underscore the necessity of self-love and forgiveness, and extend a hand to those in need, especially the vulnerable children amongst us. So, join us for an episode that promises not just to explore love but to leave you with a renewed sense of connection and understanding in the ever-spinning carousel of life.

Take a breath, let's die then. All right, welcome back. We have Uncle Danny once again, aka Dan Coletta. Oh boy here we go.
Speaker 1:
Now he wants me to talk about love.
Speaker 2:
I mean, it is the season Valentine's Day is coming up Right around the corner, so let's talk about love.
Speaker 1:
Love. Well, yeah, let's tear that word apart. What is love?
Speaker 2:
If you spell it backwards, it's evil. Because, love makes us do crazy things sometimes.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, it does. You're saying for the love of God.
Speaker 2:
For the love of God, exactly.
Speaker 1:
Yes, love, love, love is what. What is love? What is love is something that probably from it makes you feel great. I mean, I think love is like that. Love is what everybody wants, everybody wants that love.
Speaker 2:
I think love is a burden. Really it is. I think love is a heavy weight to carry, because if you love anything, you know that love is also sacrifice. Love can also mean that you put everyone else first and you put yourself last. Love could be that too.
Speaker 1:
That's love. Yes, that is.
Speaker 2:
Love hurts sometimes.
Speaker 1:
Yes, there's a song like that.
Speaker 2:
Love is pain. Love is everything, both good and bad, because we can do bad things out of love yes you can For the ones that we love.
Speaker 1:
That's what you call protection.
Speaker 2:
Yes.
Speaker 1:
You have to protect the ones you love. Yes, love does come in many different ways. You put that way.
Speaker 2:
Yes, you know what I was thinking about the other day. I was lifting weights and struggling. I was like man. I can't lift weights like I did before. It's because before I'd work out six days a week With the first kid, I got down to working out two, maybe three days a week. Then, with the second kid, it took me nine months to get back into the gym.
Speaker 1:
It's like well, that's why that is the reason you, that's love, love for your children. There it is, yes, you sacrificed yourself for your children, for your family.
Speaker 2:
Yes.
Speaker 1:
That's what love is right. There there's some family that they may be married and they could have children and they say, well, children are going to bog me down from my routine Because you and your wife would talk about having children or whatever, whoever she wants. You don't listen to that because it's going to interfere with this and that it does. But that's where love comes in. That's where you're saying the sacrifice of love for your children and your family. That love goes. Once you have that love for your family, I think it goes broader. Yes, it grows and grows and grows, because you see the other families, you see your inner and outer families and it just keeps on growing, like a snowball going down a hill, bigger and bigger and bigger.
Speaker 2:
One of the things that's happened to me since I became a dad and I think, especially because I have a daughter as well is I love and I understand more than I did before. I think when my son was born, my heart grew for the world. Oh yes, it does. Yes.
Speaker 1:
Look at the emotions, you get the love. Let's say your family. You go visit your mother or father, or vice versa, or your wife. When those grandparents are saying goodbye to their children or their grandkids, could you go back home or miles away, or whatever? The love of them. That's why they bring the tears to their eyes. It's the love. You can grab your children or your grandchildren and squeeze them. Squeeze them See, ah, that is love. It is, yes, everybody, everybody in the world has that, everybody. You can go anywhere and they have that. Now, does the man have more love than the mother? I think the mother, I think of a family. The mother holds the family together.
Speaker 1:
Yeah the mother has love. That love it's probably like a, like a flower. She's the center and when it booms out, you know, when it's booming, that's the family. The pedals yeah, because that's where it's at. It's like that. So you know, when I was growing up my dad says oh, you ever thought bad, why, that's just the way, your respect. Yeah, you know it's respect. It's respect, yeah.
Speaker 2:
I think respect is love too.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, and you know, hey, you know, you know Jesus had a mother.
Speaker 2:
This is true, he's gonna have a mother.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, the holy mother man, and there's the love right there, you know. So it's it. The love is wow, love is strong, strong.
Speaker 2:
You know, I don't think that the people who work under me would ever realize how much I love them, because the moment that I became a parent and I looked at the world differently, because I looked at the world With the understanding that everyone has a mom and a dad, everyone is important and, as the leader, I Am responsible for them when they're on the clock and I take that responsibility very seriously and I believe that it's my job to protect them as well.
Speaker 1:
That is absolutely right. You have to. You have anybody working on anything, you protect those guys or the girls. You protect them because that is your job. You know it's like love. Okay, I'll put another way. Driving down the street I'm from the north, so Everyone's well you'll get the kids make a snowball throw at you.
Speaker 1:
Yeah yeah, you don't get mad. I Me, I laugh because you know what. I did it and I was a kid. Yeah, we all threw snowballs, you know, and then we Laugh a little bit and run, but you know, that's just. That was the way it was, you know, and we didn't get mad. The other guys they get mad sometimes they'll stop. Well, snowballs back and forth, you know, fight, but that's just the way it is. I mean that. But that's love, that's another form of love. Is is Just going with that moment exactly this being understanding.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, mm-hmm Just not not getting mad and running the kids down, you know that I?
Speaker 2:
Yeah, you're a kid too. I think that a lot of people forget that you were a kid too. You did the same thing. Now shows to show some compassion. Mm-hmm yeah maybe I'm just getting soft, I don't wow, you do.
Speaker 1:
I mean, yeah, because you do start looking at you still start. You start looking that way and you do, you get soft. You get soft for everything. You know you don't want you. You can't walk around with a chip. Have to that. You have to have that passion for everybody. It has to be there. Yep and yes. That's what love is you know I am.
Speaker 2:
I Love thinking about how much I love my life because we've had maybe For actual bad arguments in our relationship, but the arguments never matter. You know what I mean. Like it's a guy that after it's done, it's it's done. I've never, I don't know, I've never went to bed angry. You know I never.
Speaker 1:
Let me give you a word of advice about that. You should never go better angry.
Speaker 2:
Uh-huh.
Speaker 1:
The word of advice is that if and everybody has arguments yeah, and they're big disagrees Every marriage does. That's like I said before you have disagreements, you settle the disagreements and never, ever put your head down a pillow Mad at each other, never, ever, ever, ever do that.
Speaker 2:
Yeah.
Speaker 1:
You wake up, you're done. You're done with your argument. Tell each other you love them and go to sleep that you say you know you're forgiven You're, you know I forgive you, you forgive me. Love each other and go to sleep, because you cannot kid, not, pull a bed, do mad at each other. Exactly that's the worst thing to do. And Any relationship or any work relationship, it's the same thing. Disagree, you work it out and you move on, and it's the same foot that you know, I, like I'll tell my guys.
Speaker 2:
I said all business is personal, it is personal. It's personal because you're a person. That's what makes it personal, because it, if I Come here, I wanted to be treated with respect. I'm gonna treat you with respect, because if it wasn't personal, then it wouldn't matter if we didn't respect you. Well, you, you, you.
Speaker 1:
What you gotta do is, when it comes to respect, you respect that person and they'll respect you, like you said, but I always try to work the opposite way. You know, with with that you Show them respect, you'll get respect.
Speaker 1:
Yes, yes and it some people takes a long time to get that, but you still have to keep working on because you as a, as a boss, has to show them that and you have to show them how to guide through those ruffle Discrimination that show me respect and that's how you you become a good Working companion. I agree that way.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, you know it's not like, it's not hard. Sometimes you, everyone has that one guy or that one girl on their team. That is just a pain in the butt and you know it made in the more and the the more how should I put it that everyone else is good and everyone does the right thing the more aggravating it is when that person does the wrong thing. And when I say the wrong thing, I'm not talking about just being a good worker or good work ethic, I mean just being a good person. Like some people, they just have to create drama and they have to spread rumors. They have to do things like that are that stuff that I personally don't like and I think that, as as I get older, I Want less of that in whatever environment I'm in. So it's frustrating dealing with that you know?
Speaker 1:
Well, that's what you call. Like a, there's the bad apple, yes, the bad apple. The bad apple in them In that basket will wreck the whole basket. Yeah you know, so that you'll see that in family too. We're gonna go back to the family part of it.
Speaker 1:
So what you do? Because every family has. You know we're sleeping, so you know brother and sister is there arguing back and forth, so a bit snap. And so the mom or dad's got to get involved and say hey guys, just work this out, let's do this now. And it is you. You got different. You know it goes, it goes. They love each other, they do, but that love can't become hate.
Speaker 2:
Yeah.
Speaker 1:
And and there is a lot of that that goes around today. There's a lot of hate in their families and it has to Somehow. They have to work it out Because they still their love is still there. They've got that. Search themselves, we find out where is that love inside me? Can I bring it back out again toward my brother, my sister, my mother, my father? Where is that love? I have to search for, search for that and Once you find it, it'll be okay. But you can't the the brother, sister that the other ones are all mad that one bad apple.
Speaker 1:
Yeah you can't. Yeah, I'll scream this and that they will come. They will come back. Let them find themselves. Work with them. Show, show them. You know what they always said kill them with kindness. Yeah, they say, kill them with kindness, they'll come back and that's the other point love takes work.
Speaker 1:
Well, it takes, like you said earlier, understanding. Yes, it takes that, it takes an understanding and and and. When you have that love there and understanding, you know, there he goes, you know the guys will bring home the flowers, bring home the candy to their wives and stuff like that. When it comes to your children, well, you're bringing them home something, you bring them. All the time you go somewhere you bring home a present, or you, even when they get older, you know they'll say mom, dad, you have to give me anything too old for this stuff. Well, you bring it, you're bringing for their children.
Speaker 1:
Yeah you know, for their children here. I want this for this, you know, for your kids and your. Your children will see that and they'll learn from that, because once their kids get older, they'll see the same thing. You know, they just keeps growing down and but that's, you know. Love is this understanding and everything it's. It's, it's a whole bunch of stuff. It's a huge word.
Speaker 2:
It is a huge issue.
Speaker 1:
It's a huge word.
Speaker 2:
And then that's when I first came to America. You know, one of the things I didn't like I thought was really weird was I Remember thinking, man, I had never heard the words I love you like culturally I love you is more of like a goodbye, you know, like it's like you're like, or like you like you've done something so good that your parents are like I love you, but you're not like I love you is not something that was ever really said like and just don't hear it. You know, you know you're in the music, you know hear it, you know you know things like that. But in America I was, I remember saying man, Americans must be the most loving people in the entire world. Everyone says I love you.
Speaker 1:
I just it's like when you're talking on a phone. Okay, hey, I love you. Yeah, you know you know.
Speaker 2:
So that was just so.
Speaker 1:
And because that's it, you know, they you have to. I Don't. It just brings out and they do. You know, everybody should do that, you know. And now you have a yeah, you have a blessed day, I have a great day, or something like that. That's another form. When he say that, when you say that, or God bless you, or something like that is another form of love. Yeah and so you're expressing yourself. You're that? That?
Speaker 1:
yeah you know you don't say I, you know you also. You know, if you have a bad day, you don't bring that bad day home. You, boom, get rid of it. Get rid of it. Don't even lock it inside. Yeah, just get rid of it, because that's what you gotta do. Just boom, get rid of it.
Speaker 2:
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:
And then, and then you're okay again.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, it's true.
Speaker 1:
You have to. You know some guy you're driving your car, somebody passes you on, cut your off or something like that. You know what they might have, that they might be in the emergency. You don't know that. So don't cost Adam, don't, don't go up there. Give them, you know, give him a sign, or something like that. No, don't give him the finger. Yeah, you just, you know, just let him go, let him do it. You don't know the circumstance of that person, you know it. That's just how I live, but that is another form.
Speaker 2:
That's forgiveness, you know that is, forgiveness, is love.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, and that's another form. You know, that's what I'm saying. It just started, it's huge, big word and uh, yeah. So what is love Done? Love is the universe.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, yeah. Sometimes love is Making the pause to just say hello to the stranger.
Speaker 1:
Mm-hmm. You know, yeah, you're walking. You walk in the parking lot morning. Good morning, how are you, you know?
Speaker 2:
You know, a couple weeks ago I told you I had to go to this convention and there was a homeless guy outside and he said I don't need money or anything, I just need someone to talk to. And I said, okay, we could talk. And I'm sure most people I'm not going to say most people and we forget that everyone deserves a hello. You know, everyone deserves to just be treated like people. And just because you're not being mean to someone doesn't mean you're treating them like a person, Because when you're not saying hello, that means that that person is invisible and you just walk past and you just they don't have anyone to talk to. And he said something that broke my heart. He said that, being on the streets, you know, you see all the things that everyone else doesn't see. You see the criminals, you see the drug dealers and you're living in that, Whereas everyday people may not see the drug dealers dealing drugs and things like that. You may not be because you're not in that world.
Speaker 1:
Well, you know, we talk about the drug dealers and the drugs. Isn't that Okay. What makes a drug dealer? If somebody out there that is lost, even lost love, they have to feel that void and they feel that if they do, the drugs do something. That's and you know, our young society is very smart, they're always smarter, each side is smarter than the last and they're smart and they know what they're doing.
Speaker 1:
But there's that void and they're using that drug to fill a void. You know they're not there. I don't believe they're there to hurt themselves, but it's just that void. The void is not having love. They have to fill it because it's hurting them so bad and that drug is satisfying them from that void, which I don't know if they weren't hugged enough and when they were young, or hugged enough when they got older, you know the teenagers if they weren't hugged enough, where they could feel that just a little of itself is a high and they have to get that back. And that's how you're going to contract some of the. You know the place where we're at now. We're overcome by that. You know, and if we can show, if they can fill that love, they wouldn't go with that, that in that position they would be in and we wouldn't have the problem we have today with what we have everywhere. It's everywhere. It's not just here, it's everywhere. Every neighborhood has it.
Speaker 2:
Every neighborhood, it's true.
Speaker 1:
And I really believe that's how it has to be. You have to get that back into you. But there's nothing, there's love. Love will heal your body.
Speaker 2:
It is. It's true, if you're depressed, if you're stressed out, that can harm your body. Stress kills, yeah. So stress kills and love heals.
Speaker 1:
Yes.
Speaker 2:
We should put that on the shirt.
Speaker 1:
Yep, but oh yeah, and we all have to talk. I mean, you can't sit in the corner, you can't sit in your room in front of a computer all day. No, that's not what. That's not communication. It's face to face. It's eyes to eyes. Your eyes is communicating with the other eyes You're looking at while you're talking. So you have that communication. It's not on Facebook, it's not on whatever social media you want to go to. It's not on that. It's human being talking, showing the emotions, showing that. And we have to try to stress that because we're getting to more and more communications through our devices which we're losing. We're losing that feeling of love.
Speaker 1:
Then yeah, it's true, and that separates us from that communication between skills, between what would you want to call it? Or I mean, what would that be? You know, just face to face communication.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, it's scary to a lot of people. I mean most people. You go to a lot of places. People don't say hello anymore.
Speaker 1:
No.
Speaker 2:
And that's so weird to me. And when you go out and you're going to have dinner with friends or a family and the waiter or the waitress comes up to you and they're like, oh, what will you be having? And they don't say hello, yes, Would you like a? Then you go in and they go would you like a high top or would you like a booth? You know, like no one says how are you doing today? So, yeah, my head, I'm like why am I even here? You know, now the meal isn't appetizing anymore because I didn't feel the love.
Speaker 1:
You got to show the love there again. You got to show it wherever you go. Huge word.
Speaker 2:
And you know this. I wanted to do this episode. I didn't know how I wanted to do it, because love is complicated. But I like to think about love and the way that I understand it, that we say love is complicated but love is really simple. Love is just. We all have a gut, we have a gut feeling. We know when we do bad things, you know we can, we can make excuses for the bad things we do, but it doesn't mean we still don't know what love is. It's just that some of us are afraid to love because we don't want to be hurt.
Speaker 1:
Well, you know what I mean, like, I know what you're saying. Yeah, yeah, like, but you got to have that, you got to have it. If you want, you just have to have that Love you got to have. And so that's where it comes back to Valentine's Day. Valentine's Day, yeah, valentine's Day, there you go and they're trying to get that love out where everybody has, go out and hug everybody in that one day. You love everybody in the world, you love each other. You know we are the world. You know here's that song and we are the world and it goes. Get the world together and love each other. You know, there it is. Show the emotion of love for each other.
Speaker 2:
You know, the hardest thing to do is I think it's hard for a lot of people to love themselves. I think people try to most people will try to love a lot of people and then they don't love themselves. So they're giving something they don't really have for themselves and that makes them dry. You know, like how you meet some people that just try to please everyone. They're trying to constantly please everyone happy. They're good people, but they also get used and abused because they just want to be loved and be accepted by everybody else around them.
Speaker 2:
That's sad Totally. I'm getting old, so that's what things like that make me sad, whenever I see it, or whenever I see two people in a relationship and you know that. You know from experience that that person loves the other person but the other person doesn't. Well, there's where you have to go.
Speaker 1:
So there's where it comes back, where it says when you lose it, you've got to get it back. Exactly, that is, that falls right back into that again. And you know, when you lost it you got to really fight to get that back because you got to have that back. To survive anything, you have to have that love still in you. You got to have that glow. If you don't have it yes, you don't have that glow for yourself. You know it's, you know we have that sense. I really believe we do have that sense. If you know you have, you can tell that guy's a nice guy, that guy has, that guy has love in his heart. Yes, and there again there's where love you know the sign of the heart is love, valentine's Day, the big heart. There it's where it is. You know the old saying that guy has, that girl has a big heart. Well then they are yep, there it is again.
Speaker 2:
Valentine's Day.
Speaker 1:
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:
If you could do anything in the world that could show or teach people just like what love is, what would it be? What would the thing be that you do? Just teach people how to love and just show love, whatever Forgiveness.
Speaker 1:
Forgiveness. Forgiveness is love.
Speaker 2:
Well, why, why, why do you choose forgiveness?
Speaker 1:
Why there's a lot of forgiveness, just real needs, and that'll show the love right there.
Speaker 2:
Yeah.
Speaker 1:
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:
Forgiveness is hard. Mm-hmm, it is, yes, it is.
Speaker 1:
It is, and you've got to swallow your pride. Yeah, and swallow it and bring your love out.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, you know it's funny how, like you can forgive so many people in the world and it can be so hard to forgive the people you love the most.
Speaker 1:
Well, because you love those people, they'll say and they did something bad towards you. You know, yeah, and they really didn't mean it, but they could be in the same way yeah, like a little hardness and a little hard towards you and they did something that really you know. But you're loving the person and yeah, it hurts you because you gave him the love and you gave her the love. Whatever you know the show and they come back and do that. That is hard but you just got to fight for it. You got to try to help them there. Bring it out, get rid of that negative.
Speaker 2:
Yeah.
Speaker 1:
And bring it out. You know it's, it is tough, it is tough.
Speaker 2:
Like me and my father, we're not on a good term.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, Well, you've got to be on a good term so you won't have a father. No, no no, your father. You know it is tough. There's a tough thing for you right there.
Speaker 2:
It is, it is. I'm not going to lie.
Speaker 1:
You know, fathers are always rough on the boys because they that's just the way they were. My dad was rough on me, you know. Hey, he put me in a spot where you've got to work, work, work, work, work, work, provide, provide, provide for your family. And then, when they grew up, your kids, yes, work, work, work, teach them. I mean, don't you know you work for what you got.
Speaker 2:
Yeah.
Speaker 1:
Don't look for him. You work for what you got, and that's the way it is. You will be rewarded at the end. You'll be rewarded at the end, but you have to really keep going. And in what I'm talking about when I say work, that's helping everybody that's out there to help people, to help them, help the need that needs it, that they may not be able to do. That you know. Watch out for your little, the little children of this world. I mean, that's where it's at too. You know there's too much of that stuff going on, and everybody, every adult, every, every person, a young adult, everyone out there has to pay attention to the young, young kids of this world and protect them, every one of them, it's true. You protect those little children, you'll be very well awarded in life, I agree, and that's another thing.
Speaker 2:
Forgiveness, though you know that part, I think that it's true, Pride makes it hard. You know, pride does make it hard.
Speaker 1:
Everybody has pride, you gotta have pride. Everybody has pride, but you have to control it. You control pride, you know. You don't flaunt it, you just control it.
Speaker 2:
I never try to be anything that I'm not. I think being true to who you are and being honest with people it goes a very long way. That's a way that they can really show love, too. Love isn't just like through the actions of oh, I bought you this or I did that. Love is also you being honest with yourself and you being real in general. When you're an honest person, you're a good person. Everyone sees that you never know who's watching you. One of the things that I learned in the last couple of years you never choose to be anyone's hero. If someone respects you and someone looks up to you, you didn't choose that for yourself. The moment that someone respects you and looks up to you, you now have a responsibility for that person. Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 1:
Wow, that's what that goes for everybody. That's everybody. Now, if they had that, the look could happen. You wouldn't have what we had. We wouldn't have to have the police and not as many as we had. We wouldn't have the crime. We wouldn't have the crime. If we did that, we wouldn't have the high crime. We wouldn't have it around the world. We would be very, very good with that. Yes, maybe your smaller towns have that little bit close-knit thing. Your bigger cities they have to become. Just because you're a big city doesn't mean you can't be a close-knit. You can't know people and respect them and honor them where you're not trying to steal from them.
Speaker 2:
Exactly.
Speaker 1:
Just trying to make a quick buck yes. This would come for a comfortable life. Oh yes, there's a lot to it. There's a lot to it, but you just got to high-law.
Speaker 2:
I told you, love is a burden, but sometimes it is a burden.
Speaker 1:
But you have to have it, but it's necessary, it is very necessary. It's necessary that fulfills your heart.
Speaker 2:
It does. Love is tiring man. I realize that since I became a parent, there's no amount of sleep that I could ever get that will ever make me not tired. I'm all about that. I don't know, maybe it's because I'm on the younger side of being a parent, but it's like, oh, it's like I'm always tired, wow, but I'm happy, though. That's the other part of it. It's not a miserable tired, it's a happy tired. Oh, I just came from work. Oh, we're going to play outside for four hours.
Speaker 1:
The reason why you do it. I'm going to tell you something. It goes by super fast.
Speaker 2:
Yeah.
Speaker 1:
You only do it once. You only do it once and it goes by real fast. It does. That's the way it is. You never know when your parent is, and so grab them, hug them. And I was telling me to hug them.
Speaker 2:
You're right.
Speaker 1:
When.
Speaker 2:
I grow up, I want to be just like you.
Speaker 1:
Oh my goodness, no, not like me. Better, always better, always better, better, better, better. And then the world will be a better place. Everybody grow on it, grow on it, grow, grow, grow and be better, better with the love and the understanding and the forgiveness you can do that, that is, you're going to be in a happier place. That's about it.
Speaker 2:
It means a lot to me that you're on the podcast.
Speaker 1:
Thank you.
Speaker 2:
I really appreciate it.
Speaker 1:
Well, good, good.
Speaker 2:
I love the nuggets of wisdom.
Speaker 1:
Basically, you know, you said wisdom, but you know what it's almost like a, it's like common sense, but that's what we were here for. We're here for them. We're not here for the chaos, we're not here to drive people for it. We're here to understand and love each other and, yes, we have to forgive each other to some of the things. Some of the things. It could be not all, not perfect, it's not a perfect one. On this, there was only one guy, one that was perfect, and that was it One. Everyone else, you know we have sins.
Speaker 2:
That's true every day, and I should have said that.
Speaker 1:
But we do. But that's where you know forgiveness. You know that's where the love comes. You know understanding. You got to have that, got to, and with that word, god bless you.
Speaker 2:
