Why do you give so many gaps when you are speaking?
00:03
Sometimes you seem to pause even for a minute, 60 entire seconds.
00:08
Why do you do that?
00:09
And I ask them, what is your problem?
00:11
If I give you thinking space, if I give you breathing space,
00:14
you know what the problem is?
00:15
We are accustomed to being steamrolled.
00:18
Just come and run me over.
00:20
Don't give me time and opportunity to think
00:23
because I've lost the capacity to think.
00:26
And if you'll give me the opportunity to think,
00:28
I will feel irritated.
00:29
I can imagine, I can waste myself in worries,
00:33
fancies and dreams I like,
00:36
but critical thinking I abhor.
00:39
Why must that be the case, please?
00:41
And remember, the world throws so many things at you continuously.
00:46
If you will not have the filter of thought and inquiry,
00:50
you will be enslaved and exploited.
