00:00I say that I have a God. He says that he has some other God. He does not believe in my God.
00:05So he says that because you have a different God, I will fight you.
00:08See, beliefs cannot talk to each other.
00:10I believe I have said something.
00:15What have you understood?
00:18Whatever I have said, that makes sense only to me.
00:25It's a personal inner castle I have built.
00:27I believe that this is black.
00:33That's my personal system.
00:35Don't you dare question it.
00:39And you say, no, no, this is yellow.
00:40Now how can we talk to each other?
00:43There has to be, first of all, for a conversation,
00:47a mutual commitment towards the facts.
00:51Facts, not beliefs.
00:54Otherwise, you will have your own belief.
00:55If he will have his belief, he will have his belief and there can be no conversation.
00:59Beliefs can't talk to each other.
01:01You will say the world was created on a Sunday.
01:03He will say not on a Monday.
01:04No, no, he will say Tuesday.
01:05He will say Wednesday.
01:05Now talk.
01:07How will you reconcile this?
01:08You can only fight.
01:10First of all, there has to be a common understanding and a common value system.
01:16We will adhere to the facts and we will respect if we question each other, right?
01:23Nothing is beyond inquiry.
01:26Unless that agreement is there, you cannot have conversation and that's the problem with this world.
