00:00Dear society, I really wish to live in a world where issues are not gender-specific anymore.
00:06That we reach a time and place where we are valued and addressed as human beings and not
00:11challenged and pulled down because of a certain gender or type.
00:14Where there is absolute acceptance towards personal choice and orientation instead of
00:20it becoming a determinant towards deciding our character and capability.
00:24I wish my children to live in a world where everyone believes that there is enough for
00:29everyone and even more.
00:31I also want people to be more forgiving and less judgmental about others who don't fit
00:37in their boxes.
00:38In fact, let's erase all the boxes that we have set for ourselves and for others.
00:43Compassion can certainly help us do that.
00:46And so I also wish that there is so much of compassion that we are compelled to feel the
00:50need to pull others along on a journey to realizing our dreams and being victorious.
00:55I was at a stage and time where I let self-doubt get the better of me.
01:00I pushed my dreams away but still didn't have much of strength to actually kill them.
01:06And so the conflict was so strong and internal that I was in constant battle mode with myself.
01:12It was until a complete stranger who came to me and told me that I'm born to be happy
01:17and to dream and realize all my dreams.
01:21The value of words, the value of faith, the value of humanity.
01:25I realized that day.
01:27It changed my way of thinking.
01:29That's what humanity can do.
01:31It can change lives.
01:32I wish to live in a society that is hopeful and resilient and believes that random people
01:38who have no vested interests and with whom you have no association can be your biggest
01:43cheerleaders because what binds them is not relationship or blood.
01:47It's as simple as being humans.
01:50And so I wish we realize that each of us are so significant and powerful that not only
01:56can we change our lives but also the world we live in.
02:00So here's to hope and victory.
