And if you look at the world now never in my life has it been so segmented. Everybody\u2019s at each other\u2019s throats. Like if you just walk down the street and smile, people are like, \u201cLook at that prick! I wish he was dead.\u201d Everybody\u2019s so angry. Right? Old people versus young people, rich versus poor, black versus white, gay versus straight \u2014 everybody\u2019s judging, judging, judging, judging. When deep inside? We\u2019re just little kids that just want to hang out, love, and have some laughs. And here\u2019s the great thing: the less you judge, and the more you love, you\u2019ll stop judging yourself and you\u2019ll start loving yourself, and you\u2019ll be a source of that happiness for other people. So that\u2019s what I\u2019m here to tell ya. Stop judging and start loving, good night and god bless you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve read the above and listened to the clip, my guess is Steve would want to extend this generous offer posted on an Reddit AMA to you:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Send me your clips to <a href=\"mailto:stevesimeone@yahoo.com\">stevesimeone@yahoo.com<\/a> if you want.
