And it's stuff we all know, but we forget, which is to be, if you're...

before you're married and have children, to be a good son or daughter to your parents.

But it was very clear to me that my role and the meaning of life was to be a protector and a provider for my children, to give them love.

And then to protect and provide for the environment.

That's also the meaning of life, is to protect and provide for your loved ones, your children, but also for the world we're living in, because the two are codependent.

But also very strongly to help those less fortunate than yourself, because...

We are all connected, all living things.

And how can we be happy when someone's suffering so acutely in Somalia or Gaza or Ukraine?

And it just seemed patiently clear to me in my captivity.

That was what was shown to me, that we're all family.

And so to learn that lesson, which is something I think we know of in childhood and we're taught but forget,

a great reminder and also the great pleasures you know i still today because i was so loved miss it was what i missed you know a nice meal with friends around the table uh the companionship friendship so now i still get a lovely deeper appreciation when i'm having a over christmas you know with some friends having a drink family so that's what i learned in captivity

I love that.

You're right, you're not wrong.

After my kidnap, and I got PTSD, but actually what it was...

I didn't stop going back.

I was stopped by broadcasts like, well, we're not sending this guy off because there were lots of investigators.

When things go wrong, I've been given awards for what I was doing back then.

And then you get kidnapped.

Suddenly it's like, oh, he's a loose cannon.
