【正文】 ard dog, she was such a scared and nervous thing that it is a wonder she did not pass out every time a truck rumbled by, or a thunderstorm swept through indiana. my sister janet and i gave that dog so much love, but we never really won back the sense of trust that had been stolen from her by her previous owner. we knew he used to beat her. we didnamp。t get much from endless tv, puter games and videos.
　　these hard, cold numbers which for me, wrench the soul and shake the spirit, should indicate to you why i have devoted so much of my time and resources into making our new heal the kids initiative a colossal success.
　　our goal is simple amp。 remember this is a day, not a year amp。t e into this world alone, and he certainly didnamp。 i was trying to make him hold on. i said: amp。 his eyes lit up and he said: amp。s universal bill of rights, the tenets of which are:
　　1. the right to be loved without having to earn it
　　2. the right to be protected, without having to deserve it
　　3. the right to feel valuable, even if you came into the world with nothing
　　4. the right to be listened to without having to be interesting
　　5. the right to be read a bedtime story, without having to pete with the evening news
　　6. the right to an education without having to dodge bullets at schools
　　7. the right to be thought of as adorable amp。bodies, the more removed we ourselves bee from our own childlike qualities, and there is so much about being a child that is worth retaining in adult life.
　　love, ladies and gentlemen, is the human familyamp。s children the unconditional love that is so necessary to the healthy development of their minds and character. and because of all the neglect, too many of our kids have, essentially, to raise themselves. they are growing more distant from their parents, grandparents and other family members, as all around us the indestructible bond that once glued together the generations, unravels.
　　this violation has bred a new generation, generation o let us call it, that has now picked up the torch from generation x. the o stands for a generation that has everything on the outside amp。s childhood.
　　since i was already a celebrity, i would have to don a disguise of fat suit, wig, beard and glasses and we would spend the day in the suburbs of southern california, going doortodoor or making the rounds of shopping malls, distributing our watchtower magazine. i loved to set foot in all those regular suburban houses and catch sight of the shag rugs and lazboy armchairs with kids playing monopoly and grandmas babysitting and all those wonderful, ordinary and starry scenes of everyday life. many, i know, would argue that these things seem like no big deal. but to me they were mesmerizing.
　　i used to think that i was unique in feeling that i was without a childhood. i believed that indeed there were only a handful with whom i could share those feelings. when i recently met with shirley temple black, the great child star of the 1930s and 40s, we said nothing to each other at first, we simply cried together, for she could share a pain with me that only others like my close friends elizabeth taylor and mccauley culkin know.
　　i do not tell you this to gain your sympathy but to impress upon you my first important point : it is not just hollywood child stars that have suffered from a nonexistent childhood. today, itamp。m 80! so please harken to my message, because what i have to tell you tonight can bring healing to humanity and healing to our planet.
　　through the grace of god, i have been fortunate to have achieved many of my artistic and professional aspirations realized early in my lifetime. but these, friends are acplishments, and acplishments alone are not synonymous with who i am. indeed, the cheery fiveyearold who belted out rockinamp。 it is also prised of the volumes of knowledge that are written on the human heart, chiseled on the human soul, and engraved on the human psyche. and friends, i have encountered so much in this relatively short life of mine that i still cannot believe i am chiseled only 42. i often tell shmuley that in soul years iamp。 they have also ushered forth some of the most cherished creators of childrenamp。s not easy being green. iamp。 oxford speech
