01:19
Now James, like you and me,
20
67809
1965
James, baš kao vi i ja,
01:21
is more than the worst thing he's done.
21
69798
2916
je puno više od najgore stvari koju je počinio.
01:25
He is a father, a husband, a son, a poet.
22
73691
2917
On je otac, muž, sin, pjesnik.
01:29
He committed a crime;
23
77265
1617
Počinio je zločin;
01:30
he's paying his debt,
24
78906
1617
plaća svoj dug,
01:32
and working hard to build the skills

28
89807
2654
James, kao i milijuni ljudi iza rešetaka,
01:44
is an example of what happens

92485
2035
je primjer onoga što se dogodi
01:46
if we believe that our failings
don't define who we are,
don't define who we are,
30
94544
4451
kada vjerujemo kada naši neuspjesi ne
definiraju tko smo,
definiraju tko smo,
01:51
that we are all worthy of redemption
31
99019
2302
i da smo svi vrijedni otkupljenja
01:53
and if we support those impacted
by mass incarceration,

02:53
I live in a world
55
161697
1151
Živim u svijetu
02:54
that kill people who kill people
56
162872
1533
koji ubija ljude koji ubiju ljude
02:56
in order to teach people

1151
kako bi podučili ljude
02:57
that killing people is wrong.
58
165604
1396
da je ubijanje ljudi loše.
03:00
Imagine that.
59
168285
1292
Zamislite to.
03:02
Better yet,
60
170111
1151
Još bolje,
03:03
imagine a world where healed people
helped hurt people heal

61
171286
3070
zamislite svijet gdje ozdravljeni ljudi
pomažu ozlijeđenim ljudima ozdraviti
pomažu ozlijeđenim ljudima ozdraviti
03:06
and become strong.
62
174380

i postati snažni.
03:08
Maybe then we would all
be singin' "Redemption Song."

63
176427

Možda bismo tada svi pjevali
"Pjesmu otkupljenja."

Živim u svijetu koji je prozvan
"paklom na Zemlji"

03:16
by those trapped inside.
65
184013
1710
od strane onih koji su bili
zatočeni unutra.
zatočeni unutra.
03:19
But I've come to the stark realization
66
187046
1923
Ali došao sam do potpune realizacije
03:20
that prison --
67
188993
1204
da je zatvor --
03:22
it really is what you make it.
68
190780
1536
u stvari ono što od njega učiniš.
03:25
You see, in spite
of the harshness of my reality,
of the harshness of my reality,
69
193192
2715
Vidite, unatoč okrutnosti moje
stvarnosti,
stvarnosti,
03:27
there is a silver lining.
70
195931
1460
postoji nešto dobro.
03:30
I knew that my freedom was gonna come,
71
198470
1818
Znao sam kako će moja sloboda doći,
03:32
it was just a matter of time.
72
200312
1389
bilo je samo pitanje vremena.
03:33
And so I treated my first steps
as if they were my last mile,
as if they were my last mile,
73
201725
3392
I stoga sam se odnosio prema svojim prvim
koracima kao da su moja posljednja milja
koracima kao da su moja posljednja milja
03:37
and I realized that you
don't have to be free
don't have to be free
74
205141
2957
i shvatio sam kako ne trebate biti
slobodni
slobodni
03:40
in order to experience freedom.
75
208122
1669
da biste iskusili slobodu.
03:42
And just because you're free,
76
210890
1759
I samo zato što ste slobodni,
03:44
doesn't mean that you have freedom.
77
212673
1797
ne znači da imate slobodu.
03:46
Many of us, for years,
have been battling our inner demons.
have been battling our inner demons.
78
214996
3246
Mnogi od nas su se, godinama,
borili sam svojim unutarnjim demonima.
borili sam svojim unutarnjim demonima.
03:50
We walk around smiling
when inside we're really screamin':
when inside we're really screamin':
79
218266
3341
Hodamo okolo smiješeći se kada
iznutra zapravo vrištimo:
iznutra zapravo vrištimo:
03:53
freedom!
80
221631
1150
sloboda!
03:56
Don't you get it?
81
224171
1150
Shvaćate li?
03:58
We're all serving time;
82
226018
1485
Svi mi služimo kaznu:
03:59
we're just in different places.
83
227527
1572
samo smo na različitim mjestima.
04:01
As for me,
84
229780
1151
A ja,
04:02
I choose to be free
from the prisons I've created.
from the prisons I've created.
85
230955
2580
ja sam odlučio biti slobodan od
zatvora koje sam stvorio.
zatvora koje sam stvorio.
04:05
The key:
86
233559
1151
Ključ:
04:06
forgiveness.
87
234734
1151
oprost.
04:07
Action's my witness.
88
235909
1151
Djelo je moj svjedok.
04:09
If we want freedom,
89
237084
1150
Ako želimo slobodu,
04:11
then we gotta think different.
90
239122
1547
moramo drukčije razmišljati.
04:13
Because freedom ...
91
241690
1150
Jer sloboda ...
04:17
it isn't a place.
92
245227
1150
nije mjesto.
04:19
It's a mind setting.
93
247783
1150
Ona je stanje uma.
04:22
Thank you.
