00:00That's the worst thing girls can do to themselves, living from their emotional center.
00:05Emotion is like a button and everybody knows where your buttons are.
00:09Anybody can come and press that button and get the desired output from you.
00:12I want to please you, I know what pleases you.
00:14I can come and say, oh, you're looking gorgeous.
00:16The button has moved.
00:17And immediately you'll be prepared to do me a favor.
00:20Great danger in being emotionally reactive.
00:23You are predictable and if you are predictable, you are controllable.
00:26Those who have known what womanhood means have had tremendous respect for women.
00:32The topmost Hindi author, Primchand, used to say that when men evolve beyond a point,
00:39it's then that they acquire some feminine qualities.
00:42Otherwise, men remain inferior to women.
00:45And therefore, it is an even bigger tragedy that such a fine creature, the woman,
00:52such a fine specimen of evolution, has lived life of continuous deprivation and slavery
01:00just because she has been too emotional and too reactive.
