Džejms, kao vi i ja,

koju je počinio.

He is a father, a husband, a son, a poet.

On je otac, muž, sin, pesnik.
01:29
He committed a crime;
23
77265

Počinio je zločin;
01:30
he's paying his debt,

if we believe that our failings
don't define who we are,

ako verujemo da naši neuspesi
ne definišu ono sto jesmo,

01:51
that we are all worthy of redemption
31
99019

01:53
and if we support those impacted
by mass incarceration,

Okružen visokim, betonskim zidovima,

02:53
I live in a world
55
161697
1151
Ja živim u svetu
koji ubija ljudi koji su ubili ljude
koji ubija ljudi koji su ubili ljude
02:54
that kill people who kill people
56
162872
1533
02:56
in order to teach people
57
164429
1151
da bi naučio ljude
02:57
that killing people is wrong.
58
165604
1396
da je ubijanje pogrešno.
03:00
Imagine that.
59
168285
1292
Zamislite to.
03:02
Better yet,
60
170111
1151
Još bolje,
zamislite svet gde isceljeni ljudi
pomažu ljudima koji pate da se iscele
pomažu ljudima koji pate da se iscele
03:03
imagine a world where healed people
helped hurt people heal
helped hurt people heal
61
171286
3070
03:06
and become strong.
62
174380
1253
i postanu jači.
03:08
Maybe then we would all
be singin' "Redemption Song."
be singin' "Redemption Song."
63
176427
3191
Mozda bismo onda svi pevali
„Pesmu iskupljenja“.
„Pesmu iskupljenja“.
03:13
I live in a world that
has been called "hell on Earth"
has been called "hell on Earth"
64
181080
2909
Ja živim u svetu
koji nazivaju „pakao na Zemlji“
koji nazivaju „pakao na Zemlji“
03:16
by those trapped inside.
65
184013
1710
oni koji su zarobljeni unutra,
03:19
But I've come to the stark realization
66
187046
1923
ali sam u potpunosti shvatio
03:20
that prison --
67
188993
1204
da je zatvor
zapravo onakav kakvim ga doživljavaš.
03:22
it really is what you make it.
68
190780
1536
03:25
You see, in spite
of the harshness of my reality,
of the harshness of my reality,
69
193192
2715
Vidite, uprkos surovosti moje realnosti,
03:27
there is a silver lining.
70
195931
1460
postoji svetla strana.
03:30
I knew that my freedom was gonna come,
71
198470
1818
Znao sam da će sloboda doći,
03:32
it was just a matter of time.
72
200312
1389
da 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
Posmatrao sam svoje prve korake
kao da su moja poslednja milja
kao da su moja poslednja 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 da ne moraš biti slobodan
03:40
in order to experience freedom.
75
208122
1669
da bi iskusio slobodu.
03:42
And just because you're free,
76
210890
1759
A samo zato što si slobodan,
03:44
doesn't mean that you have freedom.
77
212673
1797
ne znači da imaš 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 sa svojim unutrašnjim demonima.
borili sa svojim unutrašnjim demonima.
03:50
We walk around smiling
when inside we're really screamin':
when inside we're really screamin':
79
218266
3341
Hodamo uokolo sa osmehom na licu
dok se unutra čuje krik:
dok se unutra čuje krik:
03:53
freedom!
80
221631
1150
sloboda!
03:56
Don't you get it?
81
224171
1150
Zar ne razumete?
03:58
We're all serving time;
82
226018
1485
Svi smo sluge vremenu;
03:59
we're just in different places.
83
227527
1572
samo na drugim mestima.
04:01
As for me,
84
229780
1151
Što se tiče mene,
04:02
I choose to be free
from the prisons I've created.
from the prisons I've created.
85
230955
2580
biram da budem slobodan
od zatvora koje stvorih.
od zatvora koje stvorih.
04:05
The key:
86
233559
1151
Ključ:
oprost.
04:06
forgiveness.
87
234734
1151
Dela su moj svedok.
04:07
Action's my witness.
88
235909
1151
Ako želimo slobodu,
04:09
If we want freedom,
89
237084
1150
04:11
then we gotta think different.
90
239122
1547
moramo promeniti način razmišljanja.
04:13
Because freedom ...
91
241690
1150
Jer sloboda...
04:17
it isn't a place.
92
245227
1150
nije mesto.
04:19
It's a mind setting.
93
247783
1150
To je ustrojstvo uma.
04:22
Thank you.
