00:01Ladies and gentlemen, good morning.
00:05I like to look into your eyes.
00:11So that's what I have to tell you today.
00:17As I got up, a particular idea came to me, a sentence, a simple sentence,
00:25and which sums up a lot of things.
00:29It's up to you to find out what it sums up.
00:35The sentence is this.
00:39Youth is an empire and old age is an occupied country.
00:47Yes, I was going to say, or a piece of occupied country.
00:58Well, yes, that's a bit like it.
01:01Because when you're young, anything is possible.
01:05Youth can do anything.
01:08Up to incredible things.
01:10She has the courage, the will, the possibility, since she is in good health.
01:17But when you're old, you don't have that health anymore.
01:23Everything is much more difficult.
01:26You can't run on the street easily.
01:32If you have heart or lung problems or whatever.
01:38I can't run in the street anymore.
01:40Neither in the street, nor in the fields, nor anywhere.
01:43Nor in a forest.
01:45No, no, I can't run anymore.
01:47This is no longer possible.
01:47I get out of breath quickly.
01:50That's what old age is.
01:51It's terrible.
01:52But that's on top of that, and others who can't, barely have to walk, all that.
01:58So that's why it represents an occupied country.
02:01An occupied country, where the being, the individual, the person who lives in this occupied country, is always under the control of an army.
02:14Can you imagine what happens in some parts of the world, where people cannot do what they want,
02:24They can't even breathe, almost, or they're afraid to speak out, for fear that someone, the occupier, will think it's an insult.
02:38And yes, what I just said is absurd, but it's almost the truth.
02:44This is the truth.
02:46We live in an incredible world, where all the wars, everything that happens, is terrible.
02:56All these young people dying because of wars, all these children dying because of wars, it's incredible.
03:06And yes, it is sad.
03:09So, youth, as long as you can, be an empire, but a new empire,
03:19who tries to tell these dodgy old men who are in charge of a certain country,
03:27stop being occupiers, stop making your children, your grandchildren, become occupiers.
03:36Because, you know, this climbability, this mentality is not good, is not good for anyone, is not good even for the one who occupies.
03:48Because in the long run, in the long run, it's often the return of the medal.
03:56And yes, the return of the medal, to be careful.
03:59Well, that's a bit of a strange thought, but one I had this morning when I got up.
04:07So, youth, always be at the head of your empire.
04:14And old people, accept, eh, accept being submissive.
04:21Submissive, yes, yes, we are submissive.
04:27Well, have a good day, ladies and gentlemen.
