00:00I snatched 100 rupees from you, you lost 100, I gained 100, the sum is zero.
00:04The same cannot be applied to happiness.
00:07I wanted happiness by consuming that other person or animal.
00:11So I hurt the other thinking that happiness is a zero-sum game.
00:16Money can be a zero-sum game.
00:18I cannot take your life and enhance mine.
00:21If you have lost your life, in the bargain, I too have lost mine.
00:26Equally, if I can enhance your life, I have enhanced mine.
00:29We are inseparably connected.
00:33And the name of the connecting tissue is consciousness.
00:38That's what we share, we all.
00:40And in that there is no zero-sum arithmetic.
00:44If you lose, so do I.
00:46If you gain, so do I.
