00:00Fear is something that is good for your physical survival.

00:03Fear is an evolutionary tool.

00:05Helps you live a longer life.

00:07But it is not good for your consciousness.

00:09What's the point in living a long life if life is full of fear?

00:14Please tell me.

00:14What would you prefer?

00:16Living for a hundred years, all afraid and insecure, doubtful, shivering.

00:21Or living for, just let's say, like Bhagat Singh, only 23 years.

00:25But bravely, stoutly, like a man.

00:27What would you prefer?

00:28That's what.

00:28Because we are not animals.

00:30No animal ever prefers to be martyred.

00:33No animal would ever say, I want a short but meaningful life.

00:36For animals, body is everything.

00:38You are human beings precisely because for you, body is not everything.

00:42You can overrule your body.

00:44You can dictate your body.

00:45For you, body is just an instrument.

00:47You can use your body towards a higher purpose.

00:49That's why you are human beings.

00:51You can do that.

00:55You can do it.

00:56No animal.

00:57You can do it.

00:58You can do it.

00:59And you can do it.

01:00You can do it.

01:01This is it one of the lavoro.

01:02You can do it.
