For over a year now, I’ve been a huge fan and avid watcher of the videos posted on the TED website. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design, and is a conference for bringing together creative and intellectual minds from all over the world to share their experiences. The videos are talks given by eminent scientists, artists, psychologists, activists and reformists as they share their collective wisdom on a wide range of topics that, while being extremely relevant in the context of our present, have far reaching implications for our future.
Today, I came across a very riveting talk by Eve Ensler at the 2005 TED Conference. Eve is an American playwright and activist, best known for her play, The Vagina Monologues. In this eloquent talk, she shares the timeless wisdom of insecurity, first proposed, so far as recorded history goes, by Eastern philosophies and reinterpreted in so many different forms ever since!
Eve’s message in this talk, despite its apparent somber connotation, is surprisingly both comforting and exhortative!
