A universal thirst to give meaning to one’s life

00:00:00.001 --> 00:00:02.165
I think the young people,

2
00:00:03.471 --> 00:00:06.641
any young man is,

3
00:00:06.860 --> 00:00:11.961
has a thirst for something that
would give meaning to his life.

4
00:00:11.986 --> 00:00:15.516
Something that would enable him

5
00:00:15.541 --> 00:00:18.868
to bring change you know society

6
00:00:18.893 --> 00:00:23.062
because our societies
are so imperfect especially,

7
00:00:23.256 --> 00:00:27.930
take our country Lebanon
where you have corruption.

8
00:00:28.064 --> 00:00:31.539
You have a sense
of hopelessness also in people

9
00:00:31.564 --> 00:00:33.704
especially for political reasons

10
00:00:33.729 --> 00:00:37.297
and people and young people
in general are suffering from that.

11
00:00:37.322 --> 00:00:40.579
But they don't see where,
what is the solution.

12
00:00:41.504 --> 00:00:46.157
So in a way they long
to hear from people

13
00:00:46.182 --> 00:00:50.370
who have been who have had an
experience of change in their lives

14
00:00:50.395 --> 00:00:57.324
and who are doing something to
bring change however small it is.

15
00:00:57.574 --> 00:01:02.671
They will, they want to listen
to those people

16
00:01:02.695 --> 00:01:05.444
to be inspired from those people.

17
00:01:05.469 --> 00:01:10.397
So this is why I feel we have
a tremendous responsibility

18
00:01:11.670 --> 00:01:16.085
because this battle I was
telling you about you know

19
00:01:16.110 --> 00:01:21.155
this battle of changing
myself in order to be

20
00:01:21.180 --> 00:01:23.537
someone who can influence

21
00:01:23.562 --> 00:01:28.211
you know the course of this
society where you're living

22
00:01:28.232 --> 00:01:32.809
is a battle which has to be
won by every generation.

23
00:01:32.834 --> 00:01:35.935
It doesn't, it cannot be won
once for all you know,

24
00:01:35.960 --> 00:01:38.195
one or once for ever.

25
00:01:38.220 --> 00:01:40.930
It has to be won
constantly you know.

26
00:01:40.955 --> 00:01:47.091
So this is why I feel
we have the duty to take

27
00:01:47.326 --> 00:01:53.045
to take this experience
to the younger generation

28
00:01:53.070 --> 00:01:56.295
and what we have noticed
is that they respond.

29
00:01:56.461 --> 00:01:58.966
They respond and they
are looking for that.

30
00:01:58.991 --> 00:02:01.739
But I think we have to
be patient with them.

31
00:02:02.305 --> 00:02:03.685
We have to be patient

32
00:02:03.710 --> 00:02:08.337
because they are searching
for their own you know

33
00:02:08.353 --> 00:02:15.923
their own individual contribution
and how to offer it.

34
00:02:16.176 --> 00:02:22.978
So this needs I think
accompaniment of the young people.

35
00:02:23.011 --> 00:02:26.587
So it's not an action you do once

36
00:02:26.612 --> 00:02:31.609
but it's something you keep
doing it with the same people.
