WEBVTT - Focusing on Differences

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Icey's Daily Game. It is a production of iHeartRadio. What's

0:00:04.559 --> 0:00:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Up is ice Team? You're listening to. The Daily Game

0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:11.959
<v Speaker 1>a compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years

0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:16.040
<v Speaker 1>that I've found inspiring and helped me through the game

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:21.919
<v Speaker 1>of life. Today's quote comes from the Dalai Lama, but

0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:24.120
<v Speaker 1>I say it so much I forget it didn't come

0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 1>from me. For those of you who don't know, the

0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Dalai Lama is considered by many to be the highest

0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:35.840
<v Speaker 1>spiritual leader on Earth. Listen up. Young children don't care

0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 1>about differences of nationality, faith, or race. So long as

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:45.840
<v Speaker 1>their companions smile, they play together happily. It seems it's

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:49.320
<v Speaker 1>only as we grow up in the course of education

0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 1>that focusing on secondary differences between people creates trouble. That's

0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 1>the Dalai Lama version of that is. If you took

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:06.319
<v Speaker 1>a black kid, white kid, Asian kid, you know, Christian kid,

0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Jewish kid, Muslim kid, all different races and religions and

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:15.720
<v Speaker 1>put them all in a sandbox five year olds, they'd

0:01:15.800 --> 0:01:19.679
<v Speaker 1>all play together. Some of the kids might be little bullies,

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:23.000
<v Speaker 1>some of the kids might be greedy or grab at

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:26.120
<v Speaker 1>the toys, and all that but it won't be based

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 1>on race, gender, or religion. It's just kids playing. Kids

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:36.200
<v Speaker 1>aren't put on this earth races. They're not put on

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:39.280
<v Speaker 1>this earth knowing which religion is better. They're not put

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>on this earth hating. They're put on this earth pure.

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>All that stuff comes from parents. All that stuff is taught.

0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:54.400
<v Speaker 1>All that stuff is the poison that we as parents

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:59.840
<v Speaker 1>inject into these kids' lives. That happens and then experience

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 1>is dealing with other people help mold these kids beliefs.

0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 1>But the kid, the baby itself, is naturally pure. So

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 1>we have to take a lot of responsibility with the

0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:18.080
<v Speaker 1>children and how you teach them, and also be aware

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:22.080
<v Speaker 1>that the experiences they go through will mold them. A

0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 1>child that is born in war will understand an enemy

0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:30.360
<v Speaker 1>before a child is not born in war. A child

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:36.079
<v Speaker 1>is born in poverty will understand survival quicker than a

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 1>kid that's not born in poverty. So the outside experiences

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 1>helped mold them. But racism, hate for religion, and all

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:50.360
<v Speaker 1>this stuff, it's usually taught in the household. So you

0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:58.680
<v Speaker 1>don't blame the kid, you blame the parent. This has

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.920
<v Speaker 1>been another ice cold fact from me iced Tea listening

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:05.080
<v Speaker 1>again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your ass

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Till then, stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing that

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 1>if kids can manage to have a great time with

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:14.920
<v Speaker 1>almost anyone, it might be a good thing for adults

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:19.359
<v Speaker 1>to try that from time to time. I SE's Daily Game.
