00:00What will be the future of this generation evolving amid this tension between tradition and transformation?
00:07That's a question even an 80-year-old has to face today and an 80-year-old had to face
00:13in the 12th century.
00:15That's a classical human problem.
00:18On one side, there is comfort, there is assurance, safety, the warmth of the collective hug,
00:27the anonymity of the crowd.
00:30On the other side, there is a beating heart, there is radiance, there is clarity, there is courage and one
00:42has to make a choice.
00:44Irrespective of the choice you make, you will live and you will die.
00:51You have to decide what you want to make of your life.
00:54You could live as if you are a sheltered animal, a domesticated calf, a bird, well-fed, well-fed and
01:05secure nevertheless.
01:07Or you could be like the soaring falcon or a jungle rabbit, free but relatively unsafe, alive but without any
01:17guarantees.
01:19It all depends on you.
01:20There is no other life you can save anything for.
01:24This is what you have.
01:26Play it out with heart, with abandon, with guts.
