Quotes:

• “While we may be pawns, as soldiers in the military-industrial complex to drive profit and revenue and enslavement for virtually every system, at the core of that, at the core of the military… we’re people who understood that this thing that we call freedom, globally, is not the norm.”
• “It’s just about being together, it’s actually just about recognizing the value people bring to your lives.”
• “The sheer amount of change that you will see in your phone… there is no time in life that is so black and white if dads and moms step into that thing because it is not honored in normal society.”

Key Takeaways:

• Freedom is not the norm because while many recognize that freedom comes at a cost, we often fail to grasp how privileged we are compared to most of the world. 
• Change is constant. People must acknowledge and embrace the profound changes that occur in life. Look back at their own journey and appreciate the transformation and growth they have experienced. Change is inevitable and should be celebrated rather than feared.
• The importance of incorporating moments of rest, play, and celebration in our lives. People recognize the need for balance and the detrimental effects of neglecting self-care.
