CBS News "Actor Chris Pratt has some biblical -- and humorous -- words of advice for the next generation. The "Jurassic World" star put his faith on full view when he accepted the "Generation Award" at Monday night's MTV Movie & TV Awards and imparted his nine essential life rules.
" 'I accept the responsibility as your elder, so listen up," Pratt said
. . .
"Number one? "Breathe," Pratt said. "If you don't, you'll suffocate."
Two: "You have a soul. Be careful with it." And three, in Pratt's words, "Don't be a turd." He also quipped a few more less-serious lessons, like how to best use the bathroom at a party and how to give a dog medicine, before getting to his deeper, more powerful words of wisdom.
"Rules six and eight seemed to strike the biggest chord on social media.
" 'God is real. God loves you. God wants the best for you. Believe that. I do," Pratt said. "Learn to pray. It's easy and it's so good for your soul."
"Pratt, 38, then wrapped up his speech with his last rule: "Nobody is perfect."
" 'There is a powerful force that designed you that way and if you're willing to accept that, you will have grace. And grace is a gift," Pratt told the audience. "And like the freedom we enjoy in this country, that grace was paid for with somebody else's blood. Do not forget it.' "
