01:03I really didn't understand how this could happen.
01:06I was laughing and asked him
01:09why so many people were arrested.

02:54These three things are very similar to me.

03:10I need a wise body and mind.
03:14I need to protect my personality and my style.
03:18I also need to improve my knowledge
03:21to help me better understand my situation.
