:07:00
I mean...
:07:02
... It went down the wrong way.
:07:04
Yes, I like that.
:07:07
There is a right way down, of course.
:07:09
Amazing how most of us find it
without even thinking about it.
:07:12
I rarely think...
:07:14
If you think about it, you'll never find it.
:07:16
Best thing to do
is hang on and trust the body. I do.
:07:19
Human beings love each other.
:07:22
In sex, in friendship...
:07:24
... and when they're in love.
:07:28
And they cherish other beings.
:07:30
Humans, animals, plants - even stones.
:07:36
The quest for happiness
and the promotion of happiness--
:07:40
--is in all of this
and the power of our imagination.
:07:45
I'm writing a novel.
:07:48
I don't suppose you have the time
or the inclination to even read a novel.
:07:52
I've written one. It's going to be published.
:07:54
And I'm writing another.
:07:56
Can I read it?
:07:59
No-one has read It -- None of my friends.
:08:03
What's it about?
:08:05
About? It has something for everyone.
:08:08
A bit like Shakespeare?
:08:10
Perhaps, yes.
:08:12
Please don't talk to anyone about it.
:08:15
No. Course not.
:08:17
I won't tell a soul.
:08:26
Every human soul has seen,
perhaps even before their birth...
:08:32
... pure forms. Such as justice, temperance...
:08:37
... beauty ...
:08:39
... and all the great moral qualities
which we hold in honour.
:08:43
We are moved towards what is good...
:08:45
... by the faint memory of these forms.
:08:48
Simple - -and calm and blessed...
:08:52
...which we saw once in a pure clear light...
:08:56
... being pure ourselves.
