I don't know if we have time for me to tell you the story about the wave, it'll take about two minutes.

Who's bobbing up and down, I'll shorten it, bobbing up and down on the ocean.

And all of a sudden he recognizes he's going to crash into the shore.

And this big wide ocean, he's now walking, moving toward the shore.

My God, what's going to happen to me and he's got this sour despairing look on his face.

Along comes a female wave, bobbing up and down, having a great time.

The female wave says to the male wave, why are you so depressed?

Male says, you don't understand, you're going to crash into that shore and you'll be nothing.

She says, you don't understand, you're not a wave, you're part of the ocean.

That's right, I'm not a wave, I'm part of humanity.

I'm going to die, but I'm also going to live on.
