1
00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:03.960
Children are children.
Children are innocent.

2
00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:09.160
They use us as a mirror:
they take a look at their lives.

3
00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:14.640
We as parents, as adults,
need to teach this children empathy

4
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:18.559
by showing an example.
And that's what children see.

5
00:00:18.559 --> 00:00:20.600
You don't teach,
practice makes pratice,

6
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:24.600
you have to show them what love
and empathy is all about.

7
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:27.239
If they don't experience it,
if they don't get it,

8
00:00:27.239 --> 00:00:28.640
they can't give it.

9
00:00:28.640 --> 00:00:30.920
You can't give
what you don't have.

10
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:35.079
So it still, the whole response
lies on our shoulder,

11
00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:38.920
as parents, as individual,
as a community,

12
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:42.399
as a religious leaders,
as members of the same religion.

13
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:45.960
To show children what love
and empathy is all about,

14
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:48.960
you have to practice it,
you have to give it.

15
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:50.679
If you don't give a child
an education,

16
00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:53.039
you don't expect him to behave
like an educated person.

17
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:54.399
It's the same thing.
