good morning and welcome to Jerusalem
ironically named city of peace now first
off ladies and gentlemen along with you
just turning off your phone’s if you
haven’t already and one rabbit why not
turn off our egos as well we are merely
specks of us with the majesty of this
universe so once I had got a message
from a friend of mine and contained this
a novel called the egg or maybe a short
story long story short it’s about a guy
that dies and then this know that in
order to ascend he has to live every
person’s life that ever surfaced earth
with all the cultures their genders
their lives and experiences and got me
thinking I could be the street seller
and a farmer’s market being chased by
police because he didn’t have a permit
to lay his stand or I could beat this
prisoner or by mere chance the soldier
on duty I could be the pilot on Malaysia
370 or even any of his passengers or
crew members and I could be any of you
ladies and gentlemen and you could be
this rebellious teen kid that tried to
shake his school system but ended up
caving in after he got expelled or you
could be the authoritarian principal in
his eyes who was hard working
and it felt him see I’ve always loved
science because it’s predictable you add
some sodium to some water and it goes
but man oh man how things go boom
when you interact with people see this
got me back to the point if we could be
anyone else that we interact with then
why not treat them with a little bit of
empathy see through my eyes I can tell
you that it is good for you to empathize
you can be someone waiting to come to me
for the comment on the youtube version
of this video or the speech or you could
be someone that gets inspired by it and
goes to do good to the world empathy can
be really really impactful see if I had
not been expelled
maybe my teenage life would have been
different maybe my whole life would have
been different and you are impacting
people as you go along see who here has
ever met people from a different
religion a different background a
different ideology most of us do but did
we go to research that do we go to know
if we actually know what their
ideologies mean well try putting
yourself in people’s shoes for a while
try looking at the world through their
eyes imagine what life could have done
to people to make them do who they what
they do or be who they are so that
colleague that keeps annoying you or
that co-worker that
straightener try and see the world
through their eyes you will either
excuse them you will either excuse them
have something of compassion to tell
them or you could be it’s nothing it’s a
win-win-win
you could also have been one of these
guys from each endeavor and Heian look
at the world through great people’s eyes
and you’ll be able to see what they’ve
done to make them who they are as well
and follow on their footsteps this is
why I call it the tactic studies keep
showing that empathy is key in
persuasion this is why in an extreme
case you would listen to your friends
advice but not your bosses although your
someone might say well we know that I
mean we know what that empathy is good
but go online and look at how much
violence hatred and mistreatment is
being spread you’ll see otherwise and
this goes to that to those people who
are being hateful or mistreating other
people see empathy is good for you as
well for yourself it will make you
assess situations better it will make
you make better interpretations of what
people say and you will be able to
express to people’s understanding people
will understand you and you will be able
to move progressively through
conversations without stepping over
people’s beliefs or values and get what
imagine how much that violence and
mistreatment would be decreased just by
thinking even selfishly think with
compassion so in a nutshell what I mean
to say is we should not only look at the
world through our eyes but through each
other’s eyes as well where is my friend
Maury puts it nobody exists on purpose
nobody belongs anywhere now go watch TV
please [Applause]
