(FRENCH) What can I do
to make my friends not exclude me?

What can I do to make my friends
not exclude me anymore?

I think there are things we can do.

They don't want us, 
they want to exclude us

but it is because they have not seen us.

But we can contribute a lot

to their games, their joy.

We also have talents,

we can participate, we can contribute

to their joy, their happiness.

I think we should practice
in order to have more freshness,

like a flower.

Pebble meditation:

breathing in, I see myself as a flower,

breathing out, I feel fresh.

So that kind of meditation
helps us to restore

our beauty and our freshness.

Breathing in, I see myself

as still water.

Breathing out, I feel peaceful

and calm.

So we practice like that and we have

peace and beauty in us.

And then, very soon they will see that

this person 
is very pleasant

because he has a lot of peace,
a lot of tenderness

a lot of freshness

a lot of beauty in him.

When we exclude him, 
he does not get angry;

he continues to smile.

He can be joyful 
even if we exclude him.

So slowly they will see that to include

that boy into their circle

will make them happier.

So it depends on us, a lot on us,

not only on them.

They have excluded us

because they are not able
to see our value,

our beauty, our peace. 
You see?

So the practice will help us

to be more beautiful, 
more fresh,

more peaceful, more solid,

more joyful.

And they will need us surely

because in that group there is violence;

some violence, some anger, some fear.

So they also suffer in their own group.

And one day when we join into that group

we can help them to suffer less

and to have more joy.

That is why
the practice is very important.

Depends on us more than on them.
