00:00The moment you display emotion, you get what you want.
00:03We are emotional for a reason. It offers benefit.
00:06I tell you, I want a lot of money from you.
00:08You will question me. You will debate. Right?
00:11You will want to know the truth. You will want to inquire and explore.
00:14But instead of going through this long process,
00:17if I tell you, give me money and I start weeping
00:20and shedding huge tears, you are more likely to give me the money.
00:24And that's why we are a very emotional people.
00:26Because emotional serves a very, very material purpose.
00:30We worship our feelings, no?
00:31You are talking to someone and the moment he says,
00:34you are hurting my sentiments, you withdraw, don't you?
00:37You will have to retreat.
00:38Somebody wants to do something stupid.
00:40He will simply say, you know, I am very emotional in this matter.
00:44Take that as a warning.
00:45The fellow is going to do something very stupid, very unethical, even very evil.
00:50All kinds of evils are sanctioned in the name of
00:53feeling, belief, emotionality, sentiment, all these things.
00:57But when emotions rule, truth is the first casualty.
