			We look like fools to them when
we're trying to duck and dive,
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07
			don't do that. Get into the topic
talk to them. It doesn't have to
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:13
			be so deep and so often, but they
just need to know my dad spoke to
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:16
			me about this or mum spoke to me
depending on how you want to set
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:20
			it up in your own home male to
female or whatever. And for as
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:24
			long as they know when they have
an issue, you are the first go to
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:29
			many parents. The children are so
frightened of them even in the
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:32
			modern world, even in the Western
countries that when they have an
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:36
			issue the parent is the last
person they would go to they tell

			us please don't mention this. I
want to anonymously I don't want I
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:43
			can speak to your parent I would
say they would say no please don't
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			do that. You'd break me you do
this, you know it's gonna my
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:50
			father's gonna kill me whatever
they say. So I wonder that you
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:54
			know, Allah is gonna ask you could
look ombre in Caloocan was all on
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:56
			arayat Is your old shepherds
you're all responsible for your
		
00:00:56 --> 00:01:00
			flock. Here's your flock, running
away from you, scared of you
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:03
			frightened of you. How could you
do that? You know when you have
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:07
			that example is so perfect about
the flock that is their sheep. One
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:12
			sheep is going away. You know you
should be having sleepless nights
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:17
			but bring it in, feed them, be
with them. You know, no matter
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:17
