forgiveness
When having a look at what TED talks I should have a look at this week, one playlist jumped out at me: how (and why) to forgive.
Forgiveness can be thought of as a conscious decision to let go of the anger, pain and resentment caused by a past hurt. Without it, you may become trapped by negative emotions that not only hold you back, but prevent you from moving on to what you’re supposed to be doing. Have a look at these seven videos:
Joshua Prager: In search of the man who broke my neck.
[ted id=1715]
Shaka Senghor: Why your worst deeds don’t define you
[ted id=2029]
Aicha el-Wafi + Phyllis Rodriguez: The mothers who found forgiveness, friendship
[ted id=1136]
Krista Tippett: Reconnecting with compassion
[ted id=1074]
Anand Giridharadas: A tale of two Americas. And the mini-mart where they collided
[ted id=2219]
Colin Grant: How our stories cross over
[ted id=2074]
Karen Armstrong: Let’s revive the Golden Rule
[ted id=647]
I hope you find these videos enlightening.
Take care for now
