00:00There are women, they say, you see, meals take 8 hours a day, dinner itself takes 4 hours.
00:07I start preparing at 4 p.m. and then I put food on the table at 9 p.m.
00:13But why such elaborate arrangement lady?
00:17Why do you want to cook meals that take 4 hours or 4 weeks to cook?
00:22Just to justify the fact that you really aren't being true to life?
00:28That you are missing out on life?
00:31So you want to fill up the hollow with recipes?
00:35Or this fetish with having a zero bacteria house?
00:40And say then, you know, dusting consumes 26 hours a day, what can I do?
00:45Why do you need to be so particular about dusting?
00:50It's a commode, not the stove.
00:53It will have bacteria, let them be.
00:56They too have a fundamental right to exist somewhere.
01:01I'm not asking you to not flush or not clean.
01:04But please understand, there are limits to everything.
01:08The house is a place we come to take rest so that we can again work.
01:15We are not born to decorate the house.
01:17Just as a warrior is not born to decorate the camp.
01:20You are born to fight.
01:23You are not born for housekeeping.
01:26House is okay.
01:28We all need a place to return to and relax and eat and sleep.
01:33That's all.
