00:00Take life as it is, and then do your best to raise it as much as possible.
00:05Remember, you will never succeed in raising it to the best place, but you can do your best to raise it.
00:14Do away with the hope that one day you will come to a fabled land where everything is just perfect.
00:24The skies are perfect, the birds and bees are perfect, the lions and the deers are perfect.
00:29And of course, your darling is perfect. That kind of a land doesn't exist.
00:34So drop that hope. It's a very self-defeating, a very destructive hope.
00:39You believe that a utopian bliss is indeed possible, as it happens in the movies.
00:46What do they say? And they lived happily ever after.
00:49You are not born to be in bliss.
00:52Suffering is an inevitable, ineluctable fact of life.
