I dare you to watch this and feel the same way about the Middle East...

I found this on "TED-TALKS"...and think that we all could learn one of the most important lessons from watching this. It puts things in perspective and will bring us closer together as humans.

Are you unable to suspend your belief long enough to see the world through someone else's eyes? Come on it's only 20 minutes.

Welcome,

First of all, this strangely enough, isn't enough, we have been down this road, ATS is full of people who have experiences empathy, sympathy, emotion... anything " Human"... And seeing as we are all Humans we can safely say that it will be the powers that be turn soon when we strike back, take back everything they have taken from us. We will make them pay, we will make them suffer and we will kill them. I appoint you to my trusted friend, "V"

www.youtube.com... - What a man, this strikes awe in people now'a days, this is an amazing thing, give it time, prepare and be there ready to fight.

I've already felt this way about the Middle East, but more people need to watch this and feel exactly what Sam Richards is saying. Thank you for posting this.

How do you equate empathy with killing?

It's sad but indeed true...and these things occur on both sides. We're all guilty of these generalizations and we, the peasants, are the victims of it. The rich get richer and the poor get dead.

Frankly I found the whole presentation to be an exercise in removing bias. Watch the whole thing.

Thanks, OP! Marvelous find!

I don't. Tell that to 7 billion people. I will happily kill the people who put us in this situation.

It's a shame most Americans think the way you do, Perhaps more need to go to sociology lectures like in this outstanding video. Wow, if you can't put yourself in someone elses shoes even for a few minutes as an experiment, you failed a human being. It's this lack of empathy that is killing this world.

Great speech. I don't think he really presented anything new that most haven't seen before, but the presentation was very well thought out.

People generalise all the time... I don't think humans can help it. It's sad but thats what happens. I partly blame the media for only giving one side of the story most of the time.
