Yes, the age-old question.
:05:23
The meaning of life.
Why is mankind here?

:05:28
Such a short moment,
compared with eternity.

:05:32
I wonder, is it better or worse
for people not to know their fate?

:05:36
Better, I think, since they search
throughout their lives...

:05:42
and ponder the purpose
of their existence.

:05:45
Here are some very moving verses...
:05:47
by our fellow country man...
:05:52
Fyodor Tyuchev,
poet and diplomat.

:05:57
"Unity...
:05:59
as proclaimed the world over...
:06:02
can only be forged...
:06:04
with blood and steel.
:06:07
We shall let love
show us the way.

:06:12
Then we shall see
which one lasts longer. "

:06:14
I'm certain that a secure world...
:06:17
can't be built on blood.
:06:21
Only on harmony.
:06:24
We humans--
politicians, philosophers...

:06:28
actors, workers, farmers...
:06:32
people of all creeds...
:06:33
we must agree on this.
:06:37
If we can agree only on this,
we will solve all the rest.

:06:51
To every thing there is a season...
:06:54
a time to every purpose
under heaven.

:06:59
There is a time to be born...
