children have the right and the chance to please and not to get what are you about the realities of life. the pilot of that is not is not just did a simulating a mind but it's also very powerful in a way that it's breaking so many baddiel is that a comedian and kids are allowed to be kids again just plain simple enjoy their childhood. i just believe that working with these kids and you know what the. it truly needed it's not about deserved it you need this attention. to play a very young ages you're likely going more then we keep reading about why the world

is such a bad season is filled with such bad elements and you know why is somebody a criminal and all of that in this world but if you trace it back it always goes back to their childhood. with kindness and love and empathy i think we can relieve the change the way this whole world funk. since. one. became more challenging for us joel people about the power to believe what is right to believe what's meant give a being devil's all of these things of any. to people you know and because there are still many of the problems old soul is still evolving and a huge leaven i mean when talk about believe in a child is going on the. game it becomes even many challenging for us to articulate this but having said that i mean hunger of the mind is even worse if you ask me

because in bigoted adolphe says. it's a climate change or you can't see it but it's happening all around us mental health and mental well being is very similar people can't see it so if you don't see it you don't think it's a problem if you suddenly want to in a bad mood you fight with your husband mother or father whatever whoever who will do you pretty much in a bad mood the rest of the b. just imagine that d. is your life many of these kids and how did that stop the life. and it just goes on for the rest of their lives. and then you bellow in my life and. i don't believe in the mention of beings that are people believe it is just full of belief systems. it wasn't that how lucky for me the allowed me to be you i am as long as i was financially independent. judging

came on you when we realize that we don't have any money because you are a nobody finds all that he. is a very easy. best is one even. so it becomes a game and it becomes very challenging for us. we walk with almost 55000 good everybody and unlistened under these kids are mentally not able to understand was right from wrong by themselves. and nothing is going to be cheap. that's inspiring i hope to be as episode has encouraged you to examine your choices when it comes to your belongings of all the clothes you wear on the floor in a chair you bite on leave you with a pause and see you next week until then stay safe and good care of yourself and your loved ones goodbye.
