			knowledge that you taught,
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:19
			again, knowledge that you're taught, we visited today, one of the elder people. And he mentioned
something very interesting. I spoke about how we reach out to the disabled.
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
			With wheelchairs,
		
00:00:22 --> 00:00:25
			we reach out to the disabled with wheelchairs.
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:33
			And he told us, it is more important, without belittling the wheelchairs.
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:38
			To reach out to the ignorant with school chairs.
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:42
			That's a very deep statement.
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:55
			Because a disabled person will not harm others, but an ignorant person will harm others. So who is
more disabled, the one who's ignorant, fight ignorance more
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:02
			than you fight disability without belittling the fact that you definitely need to reach out to the
disabled.
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:17
			Now when I look at the school chair, I will look at small wheels under the school chair because to
me, it's now a wheelchair. They are disabled in a worse way than those who are physically disabled.
So to spend your money teaching people
		
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21
			is part of what we're talking about today.
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:27
			And to spend your time your effort, your energy is part of what we are talking about today.
