Hi there, this is Sam and this is episode 63, the Victory Prep Vocal Podcast.

Before we get started, I just want to read a quote from Kurt Vonnegut.

We are what we pretend to be,

so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.

Hey, before I get started today, just a few words, I watched the concert on Sunday for the benefit concert for the terrorist attack in Manchester and you

know it made me quite emotional I was born not far from there and for some reason it just when you're watching the

concert and and seeing how emotional everyone was it you know made me feel quite

homesick and I think a lot about what's

going on in the world and so I just wanted to say to all those people out there

listening who are like me and thinking you know what's you know what's you know know, what's going on in the world these days.

Politically, because there's a lot of crazy political events going on.

There's a lot of fear and a lot of uncertainty and

not to mention these terrorist attacks, the ones in France and the UK and all over the Middle East, there's a lot of crazy shit going on.

And I just want you guys to know that we're all with you. You know, we're not alone.

There's a lot of people who are worried and we all think alike. You know, good people are out there. Good people with feelings who care who are looking out for each other and wherever

you are you're not alone. And if you want to email me about this, you can.

So yeah, I just wanted to say that it's so important

not to give into fear. Because in the end the bad people in this world and politicians too can do this is they want to get their way for making people afraid.

That's what terrorism is. They want to get their goals by creating fear or spreading fear.

And some politicians do that too. So we can't let those people get their way through fear.

So don't be afraid.

There are loads of good people out there who are trying to do the right thing.
