“I guess put others first more than I would usually. Every day that we live it’s kind of more about ourselves than the people around us, and yeah.
So, I guess the biggest sort of issue that I see in the world as sort of typical as it is, is peace, and that comes down to the way that we, as people, view each other, and interact with each other. I reckon if I could change one thing, it would be just to raise the amount of love that people have for one another, and I reckon it’ll make a big difference to pretty much everything.
So it’s, it’s a matter of, you’ve got to start somewhere. I try to do what I can. I mean, if I’m walking down the street and I’m going to get our lunch or something, and you know, there’s a homeless dude sitting there, I’ll go grab an extra, some extra food, and you know, try to just spread love really.
I’m a Christian. I was, well originally, we weren’t. I wasn’t brought up as a Christian until later in my life. So I guess that kind of has an impact on my view of the world and my morals and values. Because it pulls, it pulls people in the community that we have closer together and if everyone kind of thought about others more, I think that it’ll have a very positive impact on the society in general, really.
I don’t currently go to church, as it was, because I actually work Sunday mornings, but growing up it was more of a family sort of thing. So, we’d get together as a family and sort of study the Bible and just discuss. It has had a big impact on me, and what I believe in, and my morals in life and just in general I think. It’s, it’s a positive impact, yeah.
I was born in the Ukraine. Moved when I was eight to New Zealand, lived all over the place. Lived up north for a few years, and then came down to Auckland to study.”
