00:00I was very young when I read of the particular tribe, where a woman's worth is determined by the length
00:08of her neck.
00:12So when she's a small girl still, they'll put these rings around her neck.
00:22As she grows up, the neck widens, but the ring won't allow it to.
00:26So as a result, it elongates.
00:30And the longer the neck, the more valuable or precious or respectable or lovable or beautiful she is considered.
00:39And you know, years later, and just as today we are astonished that somebody's worth could be determined by the
00:49length of her neck.
00:50Hundred years later, somebody might be wondering how somebody's worth can be determined by their J rank.
00:58Doesn't it happen in the campus?
01:00Your CGPA, your J rank and later on the weight of your package, that starts determining your worth.
01:07And it appears so normal, but it is just like according weightage to the length of somebody's neck.
01:14There is no consciousness in that.
01:16Nobody knows why that is important at all.
01:18It's just that it is trendy.
01:20Just a bundle of belief.
01:22Empty belief that they have absorbed from the environment.
01:26Amen.
