00:00There is the work, Lord of the Flies.
00:02Lord of the Flies describes a situation in which young kids are left stranded upon an island, a deserted island.
00:10It's World War II and their plane has to make an emergency landing on the island.
00:15The story goes on to describe how these little ones very quickly turn into little monsters.
00:20The moment the school is gone and the parents are gone, these little ones start biting, kicking and you know
00:26what?
00:27Eating each other.
00:30A point comes when one of the fat boys is killed, his head is chopped off and his head is
00:36put aloft a pointed stick and a lot of flies gather around the cut head.
00:42The novel is eponymous with the cut head, Lord of the Flies.
00:47And you are saying little kids are so uncorrupted, are they?
00:50If the little kid wants milk, it doesn't matter what the mother is doing.
00:54Child starts crying, give me milk, give me my feed.
00:58And if the mother is weak and there is not enough milk, the child will bite.
01:02Like an animal, he is just pulled along by his deep tendencies.
01:08He is an animal.
01:09And that is why education is needed.
01:12Education both in the worldly way where you teach the child about science, history, geography, mathematics and such things.
01:20And education of the self, both are greatly important.
01:25Aid, right, is that plan.
