| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the happiness podcast. I'm Dr. Robert Puff. |
| 0:10.9 | Today I'm going to talk about the correlation between kindness, innocence, and happiness. |
| 0:17.5 | First, what do I mean by innocence? Think of the innocence of a young child or a puppy. What comes to |
| 0:25.7 | mind? Perhaps a sense of defenselessness, definitely a sense of they aren't going to hurt you, and a sense |
| 0:32.5 | that they're just beautiful creatures that you want to love and cuddle. We all love new puppies. And when a baby's being |
| 0:38.9 | held by her mother and looking back at a stranger in the line, it's going to melt anyone's heart. |
| 0:45.0 | If we go to the zoo and we see the baby tigers playing with each other or the lion cubs, wrestling, |
| 0:51.5 | it melts our heart. I had a yellow lab named Einstein, who I got as a puppy. |
| 0:56.6 | Well, when I was out and about, everyone wanted to see him, and he wanted to see everyone else. |
| 1:01.4 | Well, one time when I was walking him, there was a playground of kids, and they asked me if |
| 1:05.2 | they could see Einstein. I said, sure. So I brought him over to them, and there were so many |
| 1:10.0 | kids, he got overwhelmed by all the loving he was getting. |
| 1:13.1 | Another time, I was visiting Istanbul Turkey, and if you know anything about Istanbul, there are a lot of cats everywhere. |
| 1:20.8 | But what surprised me was the cats would be laying in the middle of the walkway, and everyone |
| 1:25.5 | walked around them, they would feed them, they were respectful, |
| 1:28.5 | and there were millions of them. But yet I never saw anyone be mean towards them or hurt them. |
| 1:33.2 | They just loved them. So with innocence comes purity, comes beauty, comes love. And when we see |
| 1:41.1 | people hurting innocence, those are the people that we often in our world despise the most. |
| 1:46.8 | If a soldier gets killed, that's one thing, but if a child, an infant, is killed, that's a very different story. |
| 1:54.3 | For the majority of the people on our planet, if we stay healthy, our hearts are just wired to protect, to love innocence. If a young child |
| 2:05.3 | or an innocent baby is abused, it can sometimes make national news because how people really don't |
| 2:12.5 | like it when innocence is hurt. We're just wired to naturally protect the innocent. I remember once being |
