00:00So think of a person being arrested when he is asleep.

00:04He cannot say no to his arrest.

00:07He cannot even say yes to his arrest.

00:09Think of a person being wedded while asleep.

00:13Can he say no to the wedding?

00:15Can he say yes to the marriage?

00:17That's how we are.

00:19To all the critical things, we are simply asleep.

00:22We say neither yes, neither no.

00:25We are indifferent.

00:27But in all the trivial matters, we very vigorously exercise our choices.

00:33This is my favorite airlines.

00:35I fly only Lufthansa.

00:36Oh, I don't like sugar in my tea.

00:39I'm very particular about that, you know.

00:41I dislike that.

00:42You have never said no to slavery.

00:46What's the point in saying no to sugar?

00:53There we don't even see that a choice exists and needs to be made.
