00:00I feed the birds, you know, and then I use the birds to feed myself.

00:03I suppose pigeons and chicken are both birds.

00:08So you feed the pigeons and then you feed yourself with chicken.

00:11But you are morally upright because you feed the pigeons.

00:14On weekends, I visit this orphanage and I take some used clothes for the kids there.

00:19I am a noble woman, you see.

00:21People have allowed themselves to feel moral and noble by doing 5% of social work or charity.

00:28All your life, you are just an exploiter.

00:32But you certify yourself as good, moral, noble by doing 5% of charity.

00:38That's been the usual traditional model and that model is what has brought this earth to the brink of total destruction today.

00:46Selfishness and charity have to be one.

00:48My selfishness is of a nature that my selfishness itself is charity.

00:52And that's true selfishness.

00:54That's true selfishness.

00:55As long as you are externally and additionally charitable, it won't work out.
