00:00 There are situations when we see a woman has to jeopardize her self-respect and dignity
00:05 and sacrifice that for the sake of her family.
00:08 What do you mean by family?
00:09 You are an individual first of all, right?
00:11 And if you have to have relationships, they have to be in love and respect.
00:15 What kind of relationship is that which entails oppression and insult?
00:20 What kind of relationship is that?
00:22 And if family is the collective name for such relationships, why do you even need the family?
00:27 No family, no institution is bigger than the fundamentals of life.
00:31 And remember the fundamentals of life.
00:33 Remember who you are.
00:34 You are not born to serve the family.
00:35 You are born for your liberation.
00:37 And it's your liberation that's your greatest act of love towards the others as well.
00:41 If you really want to help the world, work towards your own freedom.
00:45 Instead, if you say, "Because I have responsibilities, hence I am choosing slavery."
00:49 It is both stupid and self-defeating.
