Can money necessarily be good or bad, or is it dependant on how you use or be with what you have? We will relate our discussion and topic to the idea of Epistemological Humbleness.
A single individual is enough for hope to exist, and that individual can be you, says His Holiness Pope Francis in this searing TED Talk delivered directly from Vatican City. In a hopeful message to people of all faiths, to those who have power as well as those who don't, the spiritual leader provides illuminating commentary on the world as we currently find it and calls for equality, solidarity and tenderness to prevail. "Let us help each other, all together, to remember that the 'other' is not a statistic, or a number," he says. "We all need each other."
- Summary From Ted.Com
Task: Write a reflection / paragraph as a response to watching and learning from what Pope Francis is discussing. Questions that you may decided to consider in your reflection are as follows:
*How did his words make you feel?
*Can you relate his thoughts to your own values or religious beliefs?
*How can we as individuals try to integrate his message into our own growth as a human being and as a society?
*How do his words relate to happiness?
