title. "Be Revolutionary" -- TEDxLincoln

 

date. September 14, 2017

city. Lincoln, Nebraska

 

detailsIntegral to the concept of being is the concept of creation. I believe it to be unjust to willfully rob ourselves of the ability to create what is our surroundings. Keep in mind, that these very surroundings are created generally by means of investment, especially in relation to the built environment. This talk begs the notion that we, the many, are just as powerful as the few. But first, we must understand that no true change can come until we embrace the value of ourselves, and thus, the value of others.

 

This talk is titled “Be Revolutionary” as an attempt to begin normalizing the revolution. Many times, this term is confused with a violent and angry uprising, but it does not have to be. The true root meaning of the word is a sudden, far-reaching, or complete change. To be revolutionary is to contribute to or be an active agent of that change. If we are to empower the next generation, we must continue to remind them of how powerful they really are by acknowledging the power we must be brave enough to give ourselves.
