00:00A great lover, Christ, for example, what do we do to him?
00:04We don't even see that he loves us.
00:06And all the wise men, they are just lovers.
00:11But we forget them, we ignore them.
00:13What the world has is an idea of love.
00:16And if love is an idea, then it's something very small and quite rotten.
00:22So if love is an idea, you will be looking at the other.
00:26It could be someone from the other gender, it could be a little kid, it could be an animal.
00:30Or as people say, I love chicken.
00:32When you want to really sink your teeth into something, you say you love it.
00:36Whatever you would be looking at, you would be looking at that thing
00:40just from the perspective of fulfillment of your desire.
00:46Our education does not teach us what real love is.
00:50So what do we have? We have animalistic love.
00:52And we think of that as the only love possible.
00:55The result is a very loveless society, a loveless earth that we have.
