0:00:11.863,0:00:15.527
Wisdom to me isn't an answer anyway.

0:00:15.527,0:00:17.806
Wisdom is a question.

0:00:17.806,0:00:19.271
It's like your mother saying,

0:00:19.271,0:00:21.761
"Where have you been to this time of night?"

0:00:21.761,0:00:24.824
The question was the answer;[br]she didn't want you to tell her.

0:00:24.824,0:00:27.225
Wisdom is about experience which hopefully

0:00:27.225,0:00:30.922
would include risk taking and[br]being somewhat adventurous.

0:00:30.922,0:00:34.291
It is more blessed to give than to receive

0:00:34.291,0:00:39.207
because in giving, although it doesn't seem so,

0:00:39.207,0:00:40.297
you receive.

0:00:40.297,0:00:45.663
You don't stop doing[br]things because you get old.

0:00:45.663,0:00:48.434
You get old because[br]you stop doing things.

0:00:48.434,0:00:50.228
I get sillier as I get older.

0:00:50.228,0:00:54.521
So I don't know what wisdom means.

0:00:54.521,0:00:57.718
It's awfully sad, that with our clever brain,

0:00:57.718,0:01:00.073
capable of taking us to the moon,

0:01:00.073,0:01:02.179
that we seem to have lost wisdom.

0:01:02.179,0:01:05.127
And that is the wisdom of the indigenous people,

0:01:05.127,0:01:09.180
who would make a major decision based on

0:01:09.180,0:01:11.395
"How will this decision affect our people 7 generations ahead?"

0:01:11.395,0:01:13.563
It's not about brains.

0:01:13.563,0:01:17.764
It's not about the accumulation of knowledge.

0:01:17.764,0:01:20.584
It's about being decent.

0:01:20.584,0:01:23.238
Nobody can teach me who I am.

0:01:23.238,0:01:25.514
You can describe parts of me,

0:01:25.514,0:01:29.912
but who I am, and what I need;

0:01:29.912,0:01:33.405
these are things I have to find out myself.

0:01:33.405,0:01:35.164
It's a play, isn't it? You know you've got to get through

0:01:35.164,0:01:39.116
the third act. And you've got[br]to finish as strong as you began.

0:01:39.116,0:01:44.322
And if that's the proposition then... get to work.

0:01:44.322,0:01:48.052
I think the happiest way of life is to be developing

0:01:48.052,0:01:49.907
or making things.

0:01:49.907,0:01:52.449
Your best work is your expression of yourself.

0:01:52.449,0:01:56.713
Now you may not be the greatest at it,

0:01:56.713,0:01:59.689
but when you do it, you're the only expert.

0:01:59.689,0:02:03.169
You can't get to wonderful without passing through alright.

0:02:03.169,0:02:06.491
You can't skip "not being able to function" all the way over

0:02:06.491,0:02:09.001
to "running the whole show".

0:02:09.001,0:02:10.421
And if you happen to have talent,

0:02:10.421,0:02:13.418
then you take that technique[br]somewhere with that talent,

0:02:13.418,0:02:14.806
and you create new things.

0:02:14.806,0:02:18.584
There is no way that we can escape ourselves.

0:02:18.584,0:02:22.123
If I give you a recipe and I give 5[br]different people a recipe

0:02:22.123,0:02:25.074
I will have 5 different dish on the table.

0:02:25.074,0:02:31.543
One of the reasons I haven't slipped into some sort of retirement is I always feel like I'm learning something new,

0:02:31.543,0:02:32.450
all the time.

0:02:32.450,0:02:36.716
I always thought that inspiration is for amateurs.

0:02:36.716,0:02:38.559
The rest of us just show up and get to work.

0:02:38.559,0:02:40.291
If you wait around for the clouds to part

0:02:40.291,0:02:44.177
and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain,

0:02:44.177,0:02:46.248
you're not gonna make an awful lot of work.

0:02:46.248,0:02:50.241
If you're ever going to create a peaceful world,

0:02:50.241,0:02:53.189
you're going to have to ask, "What is it possible for the other

0:02:53.189,0:02:54.781
fellow to do?"

0:02:54.781,0:02:57.542
If you believe in the law, it applies to everyone.

0:02:57.542,0:02:59.977
Once you say it doesn't apply to one person,

0:02:59.977,0:03:02.302
or to a group of people, you're really saying,

0:03:02.302,0:03:04.703
"Well, I don't believe the rule of law".

0:03:04.703,0:03:06.595
When you look at conflict, no matter where it exists,

0:03:06.595,0:03:09.008
It's about difference; difference of

0:03:09.008,0:03:11.738
race, religion, of nationality.

0:03:11.738,0:03:16.066
The answer to difference is to respect it, not to fight about it.

0:03:16.066,0:03:19.040
If a sovereign does not take care of his or her people

0:03:19.040,0:03:23.069
then the international community has a responsibility to protect.

0:03:23.069,0:03:28.105
You can't control people by fear because the ultimate,

0:03:28.105,0:03:32.059
ultimate essence is constantly craving dignity.

0:03:32.059,0:03:34.851
That the human dignity has a need for dignity,

0:03:34.851,0:03:39.281
just like.... like water, like air.

0:03:39.281,0:03:44.039
You don't have to be rich, and you don't have to be an army.

0:03:44.039,0:03:49.671
If you find yourself in a situation that needs to be changed,

0:03:49.671,0:03:53.572
If you're willing to offer your life for it,

0:03:53.572,0:03:56.425
you might actually get something done.

0:03:56.425,0:03:58.144
I was in the Air Force awhile,

0:03:58.144,0:04:02.545
and they have what they call "policing the area".

0:04:02.545,0:04:05.259
And that's where you looked around, if anything was wrong.

0:04:05.259,0:04:08.756
You took care of your own area.

0:04:08.756,0:04:11.827
If everyone just takes care of their own area

0:04:11.827,0:04:14.307
then we won't have any problems.

0:04:14.307,0:04:16.912
It's not just policing your own area,

0:04:16.912,0:04:18.956
'cuz that can turn into it's own ego trip

0:04:18.956,0:04:21.552
"Look at me! I'm doing something for the environment!"

0:04:21.552,0:04:23.357
Rather than saying it's something I have

0:04:23.357,0:04:25.269
to do, because it's necessary.

0:04:25.269,0:04:28.014
You don't have to be a United States Senator to make a difference.

0:04:28.014,0:04:30.192
Nurses make a difference.

0:04:30.192,0:04:33.145
Policemen make a difference.

0:04:33.145,0:04:36.047
People who work with special needs children make a difference.

0:04:36.047,0:04:42.099
I don't know if political change... can affect that much.

0:04:42.099,0:04:43.960
The change has to be in the heart.

0:04:43.960,0:04:45.314
Love something.

0:04:45.314,0:04:49.859
I think we've got to learn to love something deeply.

0:04:49.859,0:04:53.206
I think it's love. It sounds sentimental as hell,

0:04:53.206,0:04:55.635
but I really think it is.

0:04:55.635,0:04:59.287
I think that love is the most important thing.

0:04:59.287,0:05:01.501
Life is not perfect. It never will be.

0:05:01.501,0:05:04.984
You just have to make the very best of it.

0:05:04.984,0:05:10.415
And you have to open your heart to what the world can show you.

0:05:10.415,0:05:12.625
And sometimes its terrifying,

0:05:12.625,0:05:14.782
and sometimes its incredibly beautiful.

0:05:14.782,0:05:17.774
And I'll take both, thanks.
