    "content": "The other thing that we are talking to is that there is a correlation between childhood experiences and the behaviour of many of us in adulthood, particularly when you look at this in relation to leadership. A lot of research found out that the most oppressive and dictatorial leaders we have had on earth are people who passed through difficult childhood experiences. They were either abused as children or they lived in environments that were not very conducive for them to grow up as children. So, what we are talking about is really a very serious issue. We are talking about the future of very many situations that we experience in the world, including that of leadership; that if we do not have a situation where children are allowed to be children and a situation where they are protected and are supposed to develop in a manner that is good enough for the country, we are going to have threats in future. This is the experience we have now. We are talking about 8 million children who are in poverty in this country. They are suffering from deprivation and destitution in one way or the other. We are basically courting a very serious problem in future for this country because chances are that one time leadership will emerge from this group of people. Like I have mentioned, whenever leadership emerges from a person who experienced difficulties in childhood, chances are that we are going to have very difficult leaders in future."
