Amazing!!
Amazing! Love her accent
Same:)
Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.
Tell that to people trapped in abusive relationships, oppressive governments, or imprisoned. Tell slaves, including women in patriarchal societies, that courage will expand their life. Positivism is a luxury of people with privilege.
Congratulations I am an atheist as well,, I understand 10 languages but I believe nothing but science philosophie. Nothing is Real it’s all illusion time past future doesn’t exist.
Ramiro Ramos Random comment is random.
Madao do you understand what I said?
This world is obviously a massive simulation and thus the earth is flat. Why don’t you understand that, atheist?
Ramiro Ramos Like seriously, the chaos we have isn’t enough for a natural explosion and whatnot believe the earth is fake and flat in this massive simulation?
Never have I ever been this early
First reply to you!!!
“Boys dont cry” emotional propaganda
Fantastic talk and relevant to everyone at some point in their life.
Also, the South African accent has to be one of the most beautiful in the world. It makes what is a truly weighty topic sound soothing.
this video starts and i’m thinking “i’ve watched this before… but where…?” turns out i’m thinking about cameron’s Avatar xD the whole “i see you” thing ^^
mischa wolf Same friend same
Some of the most valuable content ever created on YouTube. We should memorize this. People have forgotten how to live!
Wow ~ great message! Emotional agility ~ the tyranny of positivity ~ I think herein lies some clues to solving some of our biggest challenges as a society at fundamental levels ~
*Diversity isn’t just people, it’s also what’s inside people.* Great talk! Thank you so much!
sayalee Thombare The problem is you need singularity to make this thing stable, but singularity will also defeat the purpose of having identities. That’s deadlock and we should focus on that issue tbh.
Kerwin C Of course! That’s right! Singularity can come with choice, it will just require a lot of time and patience!
Emotions are data – I like that
“Courage is fear walking” That is something I’m forever going to call it now:) And y new greeting it now “Sawubona” – “I see you, and by seeing you, I bring you into being.” 🙂 🙂
Spectacular speech!
“Courage is not the absence of fear，courage is fear walking”
So the ice caps are melting cos of our unsustainable emotions? I wonder what caused the end of the ice age? Must have been a mamoth denial.
Nice pun 😉
nice speech, I am going to avoid ” False Positivity “ and let my feelings as it is ❤️❤️
Mishary 20 yes I think everyone falls into fake positivity sometimes , including myself !!
I think that’s what our society is missing !!!! EI , Emotional intelligence. When you are not feeling right way you can not make proper change and take proper action. You stay stuck !! But once you allow yourself to feel the good feelings you want to feel then we can take the next step !!
Ty Speaks what makes a feeling good or bad?
There is emotion and then there is Feeling.
See what happens.
First there is Feeling: being in direct contact with everyone and everything, without any sense of division, separation or distance, in each and every moment in daily life.
Then in a split second, the I, the me, the self, which is the invention of the past conditioning of the brain, comes in and limits, distorts, colors and shapes the Feeling, which then becomes emotion.
Emotion is the limitation and distortion of Feeling.
Emotion is the movement away from Feeling.
Emotion is the old. Feeling is the New.
Emotion is the past. Feeling is Now.
Emotion is time. Feeling has no time.
Emotion is a reaction. Feeling is a response.
Without Feeling, there is no ExperiencING.
Without Feeling, there is no Joy/Happiness.
Without Feeling, there is no Love or Wisdom.
It is the capacity to Feel that makes us Human.
Total Freedom from emotions is the beginning of Feeling.
I’m feeling emotional
I have fallen on tough times, Please could you send me some Cryptos If you don’t want them, or are feeling particularly generous?
I will “pay it forward” whenever I can. <3
