Stop Waiting for Life to Happen
Peter Sage
This specific TED talk was actually very interesting. The speakers name is Peter Sage. Peter's main point in his presentation was Love. The importance of love and the multiple values that love has as a single characteristic on its own. Peter grabs the audiences attention by explaining how us humans today seem to be hard wired to disagree with one another, and I find that absolutely true because in our society today, humans do not know how to share their opinions to a peer, they see something going wrong but don't do anything to stop it, because they don't want to 'offend' that person, but it isn't about offending them, its more about helping and volunteering to make the world a better place. He speaks to us about how much struggles our ancestors put up with just to have us here today. "...My grandfather had larger dreams for his son. Through hard work and perseverance my father got a scholarship to study in a magical place, America, that shone as a beacon of freedom and opportunity to so any who had come before." (Barack Obama- Keynote Address to the 2004 Democratic National Convention). However, in this time in history, our ancestors could not even dream of in their wildest dreams. Peter also makes a claim on the main damage to us Americans, Technology. Technology is very darn amazing but yet keeps us away mentally, physically and emotionally from opening up to one another and expressing the real emotions to keep our points across. Especially the teens of our generation, "To indolent teenagers with smoke circling." (The American Dream-Amy H. Wichita).
In addition, Peter helped me realize that we humans today are too busy from loving because we are too into the thinking sensor (brain) than our feeling sensor (heart). I find this presentation an eye opener of how important it is to just drop all the distractions and show appreciation to the ones we love the most.
Making a change as an individual just shows how much life is a gift.
"The things we cherish still are lovingly patted and brought through the centuries." (The American Dream- Amy H. Wichita).
