Note to recorder:

Please, read naturally.

I don't think there are bad qualities or good qualities. I think personal qualities form in a society. They come from a natural desire of human beings. When a child becomes able to communicate he or she begins to transform into a social being as well as a biological being. The society shapes the specific qualities. A quality leads to a value. Then people begin to differentiate based on these values. Kindness, generosity, altruism, loyalty, selfishness, pride, misanthropy and so on are among these values. And where do values come from? As Sigmund Freud said, our values come from unsatisfied desires." I would agree with that hypothesis. And I would add that much satisfaction was needed. One who sees violence in a family when he or she is a child will be more likely to be a murderer. A person who has all his wishes filled as an infant is more likely to be a robber. That is why it is very important to bring children up properly from their first day in life. Parents should not scare their children by different things such as darkness or some kind of imaginary animals. These things definitely damage a child's subconscious mind causing them to grow up as a coward, indecisive person.

This is my first recording for the site, really just trying it out. I hope it's useful to you to have a recording in an Australian accent.

One comment on the text: I read it the way it was written, but the word "coward" near the end really ought to be "cowardly".
