00:00We know that we have hypocrisies inside us, but still that doesn't change our actions.
00:06You are not a hypocrite.
00:08You are just needlessly, needlessly afraid girl.
00:15Every single person sitting here, maybe including me, is afraid.
00:20And ask us, what exactly are we afraid of? Nobody knows.
00:24Therefore, when it comes to truth or freedom or liberation,
00:30or a simpler thing like rebellion,
00:32it's not that we don't know that we need to resist.
00:38We stop because we are afraid.
00:43And once we have stopped, we try to justify it, rationalize it,
00:48and that comes out as hypocrisy.
00:52Hypocrisy comes later.
00:54Hypocrisy is a defense.
00:56Hypocrisy is a defense of the act already committed.
01:00But that act comes from fear.
01:02Next time when you feel internally pressurized, pause and ask,
01:07what's the worst that can happen?
01:09What exactly?
01:10And if you get an answer, say,
01:13even if this does happen, so what?
01:16Fear is needless.
01:18Lot of it.
01:19And where it is not needless, act.
01:22Don't just keep shivering.
01:23So do what you do with this thing.
01:25And now we need to continue
01:27thinking about putting stuff in DX together,
01:28We'll be doing this again,
01:29We'll be doing this again if it was just getting sent to you first.
01:29This one is so much more advice.
