00:19 It's terrible what's happening in Arkanar.
00:21 Why would a tree whine that it can't walk?
00:23 Even if it'd be glad to escape the axe of the woodcutter.
00:28 But everywhere you can hear the screams of the tortured.
00:31 You live in a world full of distress, ignorance and misery.
00:34 If you could give God a piece of advice...
00:37 God doesn't need advice.
00:40 If you had divine powers, what would you change to improve people's loves?
00:47 You have a rich imagination.
00:49 But if you wish, please.
00:53 I'd tell the Creator to give us bread, meat and wine.
00:57 Give us shelter and clothing, so that the distress that's devouring people will finally disappear.
01:02 The strong would soon take away their share from the weak, and the weak would be as poor as before.
01:09 I'd ask the Creator not to tear away what He has given them.
01:14 I don't know if that would be good.
01:16 If you keep everything without effort, you'll become lazy and sluggish, and lose the taste of life.
01:20 But there's another possibility.
01:23 If I ask the Creator...
01:25 to make people love work and knowledge.
01:29 So that wisdom becomes the only meaning of their lives.
01:33 Yes, that could be done.
01:37 But wouldn't that be like taking this kind of land and creating a new one?
01:44 I'd say, "Please, Lord,
01:46 sweep our race from the face of the earth,
01:50 and create us in a new form, more peaceful, better and more truthful."
01:55 We've already tried that.
01:59 Where?
02:00 In another country, quite far from here.
02:03 We've put the violence aside because we would have destroyed ourselves.
02:07 Every violence is a means of redemption.
02:10 So that violence can never destroy everyone.
02:14 We were able to see everything that was happening in the world.
02:17 We saw all the distress and could no longer feel any compassion.
02:21 We ate our meals while we saw pictures of people who were starving.
02:25 What you're saying is hard for me to imagine.
02:29 I believe that evil in the world is inexhaustible.
02:33 I see that there are questions for you that you can't solve.
02:38 Maybe we have to stay as we are.
02:42 And I will pray to God that we find our way.
