You're listening to TED Talks Daily, where we bring you new ideas and conversations to spark your curiosity every day.
I'm your host, Elise Hu.
Today we're honoring the memory of His Holiness, Pope Francis, who delivered two powerful TED Talks during his papacy.
Across his talks, he addressed his concern about the global climate crisis and also illustrated how all of us can work together across faiths and societies to protect the earth and promote the dignity of all people.
The future is built today, he said, and it is not built in isolation, but rather in community and harmony.
In this classic 2017 TED Talk, Pope Francis reflects on why the only future worth building includes everyone.
He calls for equality, solidarity, and tenderness in a message to people of all faiths.
Here's that 2017 talk dubbed in English from the original Italian.
Good evening. Or, good morning, I'm not sure what time it is there.
Regardless of the hour, I'm thrilled to be participating in your conference.
I very much like its title, The Future You, because while looking at tomorrow, it invites us to open a dialogue today.
To look at the future through a you.
The future you. The future is made of views, it is made of encounters, because life flows through our relations with others.
Quite a few years of life have strengthened my conviction that each and everyone's existence is deeply tied to that of others.
Life is not merely passing by, life is about interactions.
As I meet or lend a ear to those who are sick, to the migrants who face terrible hardships in search of a brighter future, to prison inmates who carry a hell of pain inside their and to those, many of them young, who cannot find a job, I often find myself wondering, why them and not me?
I myself was born in a family of migrants.
My father, my grandparents, like many other Italians left for Argentina and met the fate of those who are left with nothing.
I could have very well ended up among today's discarded people, and that's why I always ask myself deep in my heart, why them and not me?
First and foremost, I would love it if this conference could help to remind us that we all need each other.
None of us is an island, an autonomous and independent I separated from the other, and we can only build the future by standing together, including everyone.
We don't think about it often, but everything is connected, and we need to restore our connections to a healthy state.
Even the harsh judgment I hold in my heart against my brother or my sister, the open wound that was never cured, the offense that was never forgiven, the rancor that is only going to hurt me.
they all are instances of a fight that I carry within me, a flare deep in my heart that needs to be extinguished before it goes up in flames, leaving only ashes behind.
Many of us nowadays seem to believe that a happy future is something impossible to achieve.
And such concerns must be taken very seriously.
But they are not invincible.
They can be overcome if we do not lock our door to the outside world.
Happiness can only be discovered as a gift of harmony between the wall and each single component.
Even science, and you know it better than I do, points to an understanding of reality as a place where every element connects and interacts with everything else.
And this brings me to my second message.
How wonderful would it be if the growth of scientific and technological innovation would come along with more equality and social inclusion.
How wonderful would it be, while we discover far -away planets, to rediscover the needs of the brothers and sisters orbiting around us?
How wonderful would it be if solidarity, this beautiful and at times inconvenient world, If solidarity were not simply reduced to social work and became instead the default attitude in political, economic and scientific choices, as well as in the relationships among individuals, peoples and countries, only by educating people to a true solidarity will we be able to overcome the culture of waste which doesn't concern only food and goods but increasingly concerns people.
People who are cast aside by our techno economic systems which without even realizing it are now putting products at the core instead of the people.
Solidarity. A term that many wish to erase from the dictionary.
Solidarity is not an automatic mechanism.
It cannot be programmed nor controlled.
It is a free response, borne from the heart of each and every one.
Yes, a free response.
When one realizes that life, even in the middle of so many contradictions, is a gift, that love is the source and the meaning of life, how can they suppress their urge to be good to another fellow being?
In order to do good we need memory, we need courage and we need creativity.
And I know that Ted gathers many creative minds.
Love does require a creative, concrete and ingenious attitude.
Good intentions and conventional formulas so often used to appease our conscience are not enough.
So, let us help each other, all together, to remember that the Other is not a statistic or a number.
The Other has a face.
The YOU is always a real Presence, a person to take care of.
There is a parable Jesus told to help us understand the difference between those who would rather not be bothered and those who take care of the other.
I'm sure you have heard of it before.
It's the parable of the good Samaritan.
When Jesus was asked, who is my neighbor, namely, who should I take care of?
He told this story, the story of a man who had been assaulted, robbed, beaten, and abandoned along a dirt road.
Upon seeing him, a priest and a Levite, two very influential people at the time, Walked past him without stopping to help.
After a while, a Samaritan, a member of a very much despised ethnicity at the time, walked by.
And seeing the injured man lying on the ground, he did not ignore him as if he weren't even there.
Instead he felt compassion for this man, which compelled him to act in a very concrete manner.
He poured oil and wine on the wounds of the helpless man, brought him to a hostel and paid out of his pocket for him to be assisted.
The story of the Good Samaritan is the story of today's humanity.
People's journeys are riddled with suffering, as everything is centered around money, and things instead of people.
And often there is this habit by people who call themselves respectable, of not taking care of the others, thus leaving behind thousands of human beings, entire populations, on the side of the road.
Fortunately, however, there are also those who are creating a new world, by taking care of the others, even out of their own pockets.
Mother Teresa actually said, one cannot love unless it is at their own expense.
We have so much to do and we must do it together.
But how can we do that with all the evil we breathe every day?
Thank God, no system can quash our desire to open up to the good, to compassion and to our capacity to react against evil, all of which stem from deep within our hearts.
Now, you might tell me, sure, these are beautiful words, but I'm not the good Samaritan, nor Mother Teresa.
On the contrary, we are precious, each and every one of us.
Each and every one of us is irreplaceable in the eyes of God.
Through the darkness of today's conflicts, each and every one of us can become a bright candle, a reminder that light will overcome darkness and never the other way around.
To Christians the future has a name, and that name is hope.
Feeling hopeful does not mean to be optimistically naive and ignore the tragedy humanity is facing.
Hope is the virtue of a heart that doesn't lock itself into darkness, that doesn't dwell on the past, that does not simply get by in the present but is able to see a tomorrow.
Hope is the door that opens onto the future.
Hope is a humble hidden seed of life that with time will develop into a large tree.
It is like some invisible yeast that allows the whole dough to grow.
That brings flavor to all aspects of life.
And it can do so much, because a tiny flicker of light that feeds on hope is enough to shatter the shield of darkness.
A single individual is enough for hope to exist. And that individual can be you.
And then there will be another you, and another you and it turns into us.
And so does hope begin?
When we have us? No. Hope began with one you.
When there is us begins a revolution.
The third message I would like to share today is indeed about revolution.
The revolution of tenderness.
What is tenderness?
It is the love that comes close and becomes real.
It is a movement that starts from our heart and reaches the eyes, the ears and the hands.
Tenderness means to use our eyes to see the other, our ears to hear the other, to listen to the children, the poor and to those who are afraid of the future.
To listen also to the silent cry of our common home, our sick and polluted Earth.
Tenderness means to use our hands and our heart to comfort the other, to take care of those in need.
Tenderness is the language of the young children, of those who need the other.
A child's love for mom and dad grows through their touch, their gaze, their voice, their tenderness.
I like when I hear parents talk to their babies, adapting to the little child, sharing the level of communication.
That is tenderness, being on the same level as the other.
God Himself descended into Jesus to be on our level.
This is the same path that the This is the path that Jesus himself took.
He lowered himself, he lived his entire human existence practicing the real, concrete language of love.
Yes. Tenderness is the path of choice for the strongest, most courageous men and women.
Tenderness is not weakness, it is fortitude.
It is the path of solidarity, the path of humility.
Allow me to say it loud and clear.
The more powerful you are, the more your actions have an impact on people, the more responsible you are to act humbly.
If you don't your power will ruin you and you will ruin the other.
There is a saying in Argentina, power is like drinking gin on an empty stomach. You feel dizzy, you get drunk, you lose your balance.
If you don't connect your power with humility and tenderness, you will end up hurting yourself and those around you.
Through humility and concrete love, on the other hand, power, the highest, the strongest power, power becomes a service, a force for good.
The future of humankind is not exclusively in the hands of politicians, of great leaders, of big companies.
Sure, they do hold an enormous responsibility, but the future is most of all in the hands of those who recognize the other as a you and themselves as part of us.
We all need each other, so please think of me as well with tenderness, so that I can fulfill the task I have been given for the good of the other, of each and every one, of all of you, of all of us.
Thank you. That was His Holiness, Pope Francis speaking at TED 2017.
