1:49Well from
1:50My understanding people get better
1:52When they start to understand that
1:54They are valuable
1:55And they not valuable because
1:56They got a whole lot of money
1:57Or 'cause somebody
1:58Think they sexy
1:59But they valuable
2:00'Cause they been created by God
2:03And god
2:04Makes you valuable
2:05And whether or not you
2:06Recognize that value is one thing
2:09You got a lot of socities and governments
