Excerpts from the closing speech

Guiseppe 2022-03-22 09:01:21

Unfortunately, I don't want to be emperor, that's not what I do. I neither want to rule anyone nor conquer anyone. If possible, I would love to help all people, Jewish and non-Jewish, black and white. We all need to help each other. That's how it should be. We should build our lives on the happiness of others, not on the suffering of others. Let us not hate each other and despise each other. There are enough places in the world for all people to live. The earth is fertile, and it can provide food and clothing for everyone. The road of life can be free and beautiful, but unfortunately we have lost our way. Greed poisons the human soul, builds walls of hatred all over the world, and forces us to take the right step to suffering and massacre. We develop speed, but we isolate ourselves. Machines are supposed to create wealth, but instead they bring us poverty. When we have knowledge, we see through everything; when we learn to be smart and well-behaved, we become ruthless. We use our minds too much and our emotions too little. What we need more is not machines, but humanity. What we need more is not smart and well-behaved, but kindness and warmth. Without these things, life becomes violent, and everything is over. Airplanes and radios shorten the distance between us. The nature of these things itself is to give play to the good qualities of human beings; it requires people all over the world to love each other, and we all need to be united with each other. There are millions of people in the world today who love each other and demand that we all unite with each other. My voice is heard by millions of people in the world right now - millions of disappointed men, women, children - and they are all victims of a system that tortures people and tortures innocent people thrown into prison. I say to those who hear me, "Don't despair." We are suffering now only because those who fear human progress are venting their malice and gratifying their greed before they die. The hatred of these people will die, the dictators will die, and the power they took from the people will be returned to the people. As long as we are not afraid of death, freedom will never disappear. Warriors! Don't give your life to those beasts - they despise you - enslave you - they rule you - tell you what to do - what to think, what feelings to have! They force you to practice, they limit your food—they treat you as animals, and use you as cannon fodder. Don't be at the mercy of these irrational people - they are all robots, with robot heads and robot hearts! But you are not device! You are human! You have human love in your hearts! Don't hate it! Only those who are unloved hate - those who are unloved and irrational! Warriors! Do not fight for slavery! Fight for freedom! In the seventeenth chapter of the Gospel of Luke, it is written that the kingdom of God is in the hearts of men—not in the hearts of one person or a group of people, but in the hearts of all people! in your heart! You people have power - the power to create machines. Has the power to create happiness! You people have the power to build your own good life - to make life meaningful. Then - for the sake of democracy - let's fight for a new world - a world that will give everyone a chance to work - it will give young people a bright future, old age Everyone lives a stable life. Those beasts stole power with these promises. However, they are lying! They never keep their promises. They will never fulfill their promises! Dictators themselves enjoy freedom, but they keep people in slavery. Let us fight now, to free the world, to remove the barriers of nations, to remove greed, hatred, stubbornness. Let us fight for a sane world where science and progress will bring happiness to all of us. Soldiers, for democracy, let us unite! Hana, do you hear what I'm saying? Wherever you are at the moment, look up! Look up, Hana! The dark clouds are dissipating! The sun shines out! We are leaving the darkness and entering the light! We are entering a new world - a more lovely world where people will overcome their greed, their hatred, their cruelty. Look up, Hana! The souls of men have grown wings, and they are finally ready to fly. They flew into the rainbow - into the radiance of hope. Look up, Hana! Look up! -A beautiful world that will give everyone a chance to work -It will give young people a bright future and old people a stable life. Those beasts stole power with these promises. However, they are lying! They never keep their promises. They will never fulfill their promises! Dictators themselves enjoy freedom, but they keep people in slavery.

    The front is ok, but the back leaks. But this is 40 years old, it's not easy.
