Transcripts

Unknown:

Oh, hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

Unknown:

experience. I'm your host Aurora, and I'm very happy to be

Unknown:

spending some time with you today.

Unknown:

Today I want to talk about discrimination.

Unknown:

Discrimination is a huge thing right now in our society.

Unknown:

And, as you know, all too well, I'm all about

Unknown:

creating a space where you feel safe, where you feel understood

Unknown:

where you feel, you can recharge your batteries, where we learn

Unknown:

from each other, where we support each other. And

Unknown:

here, we do not care where you are coming from, I have a

Unknown:

project going on here in the future, where I will be

Unknown:

interviewing ex convicts.

Unknown:

And this work is very important to me, because I want to cut

Unknown:

through prejudice, I want to help people understand that we

Unknown:

all deserve second chances, we need to trust our government,

Unknown:

that when people are being released back into society, that

Unknown:

they are deserving of a second chance. And all those shaming

Unknown:

and guilt tripping is not going to get us anywhere. That person

Unknown:

that gets out of jail, and is trying to make a life for

Unknown:

himself or herself again, after traumatizing experiences that

Unknown:

they might have induced, but also that they have suffered

Unknown:

from deserves respect, and deserves an honest second

Unknown:

chance. And what do I mean by that is that we encounter people

Unknown:

with an open heart with an open mind. And that we can see the

Unknown:

true potential that we all carry inside of ourselves. And trust

Unknown:

me, the people that went through hell, that had to rebuild

Unknown:

themselves, they, most of the time are the biggest servants,

Unknown:

the biggest and most impactful people in our society for the

Unknown:

better.

Unknown:

And nowadays, everybody has an opinion, it is so easy on

Unknown:

Facebook to Yeah, start discussions and discussions,

Unknown:

jump in on discussions and have a strong opinion. And some

Unknown:

conversations slide into very radical speech, if not to say

Unknown:

hate speech. And it is very sad for me to observe because I know

Unknown:

these people, if standing in front of each other would never

Unknown:

talk the same teacher, then how they do when they are on

Unknown:

Facebook.

Unknown:

It is really important that we start

Unknown:

asking more questions, when there's something that we don't

Unknown:

understand, you know, people.

Unknown:

Like there's less and less space, there's more and more

Unknown:

people and people are crammed into spaces with very different

Unknown:

beliefs with depth, very different views on life. And

Unknown:

it's not going to change in the near future, it's going to get

Unknown:

more and more. And how can we manage to not get lost? How can

Unknown:

we manage to not destroy each other? How can we manage to

Unknown:

approach each other? With more understanding? I think the only

Unknown:

way is to ask questions.

Unknown:

If there's somebody with a complete different view than me,

Unknown:

I asked questions I want to understand Wait, where are you

Unknown:

coming from? What what happened to you that you think that way,

Unknown:

and that you behave that way nowadays, I want to understand I

Unknown:

want to have compassion with you. I want to really being able

Unknown:

to relate for with you and maybe even learn from you.

Unknown:

And then go from there. And if you don't understand if that

Unknown:

person doesn't want to open up to you if they are becoming

Unknown:

offensive or defensive or whatever it is then move on. But

Unknown:

don't make it about yourself. I feel this is what we need more

Unknown:

of we need more understanding. Because we all have our stories.

Unknown:

We all have our backgrounds. We all have our grounds. But we are

Unknown:

being forced to live together and it's a beautiful thing

Unknown:

because we need each other and I think that's what people

Unknown:

People keep forgetting when they engage in these hateful speeches

Unknown:

on Facebook is that they forget that we need each other. Every

Unknown:

person, if you want it or not, is a resource can be a resource

Unknown:

for love, a resource for friendship and the resource to

Unknown:

learn something about life.

Unknown:

Think about the food you eat on a daily basis, think about the

Unknown:

water as you drink. If it wasn't for other people

Unknown:

working so hard.

Unknown:

You wouldn't have all these things on your table. And we can

Unknown:

go further and talk about your telephone and talk about

Unknown:

everything that we consume on a daily basis. It is because of a

Unknown:

common effort. And do you really care that much of what the what

Unknown:

the reasons are, why certain people behave one way and others

Unknown:

in a different way? I think we don't, we don't care enough, we

Unknown:

just see that a person is not thinking the same way not acting

Unknown:

the same way. And just just why that is an offence, and that

Unknown:

person has to be removed from society. I don't think that's

Unknown:

okay. I think that will create lots of unhappiness and hatred

Unknown:

and disasters and families, recent traveled like incredible

Unknown:

what's going on right now, it's hard to put into words.

Unknown:

But the only thing I want to say today is that we need each

Unknown:

other, we need to come together with a better understanding of

Unknown:

each other. And then we can move from there. Hate speech is for

Unknown:

people that have nothing better to do that want friction,

Unknown:

because otherwise, they feel useless and lonely.

Unknown:

It is not getting us anywhere. And I'm so grateful to know that

Unknown:

the people in my life closest in my life. And my listeners are

Unknown:

very open minded and are very curious. And if they are not,

Unknown:

they are sticking to this show, and wanting to become more

Unknown:

curious and open minded and open hearted. Because in the past,

Unknown:

they've learned that a shutdown hard shutdown mind, brought them

Unknown:

nowhere.

Unknown:

It made them lonely and made them miserable made them create

Unknown:

fights and separation with people that they actually miss

Unknown:

now and need in their life. And it is just very unnecessary

Unknown:

friction that is out there right now. And I'm trying to make

Unknown:

sense of it. I'm trying to understand what this is all

Unknown:

about. I have no idea. But all I know is that we have to focus on

Unknown:

keeping an open heart, we have to focus on being love driven

Unknown:

and not fear driven. And that means in turn, that we need to

Unknown:

ask more questions. Maybe some of you remember my interview,

Unknown:

where we talk about racism, and that the person

Unknown:

said, he encounters racism with curiosity, he starts a

Unknown:

conversation when he feels that there is a racist vibe in

Unknown:

someone and he wants to make sense of it and then love the

Unknown:

shit out of the person.

Unknown:

And make them understand that we're all made of the same would

Unknown:

we have to learn to trust each other again, we have to learn

Unknown:

that there is more ways than just one way to skin the cat. I

Unknown:

really don't like that expression. But I think that's

Unknown:

how you say it. We have to invite different views to the

Unknown:

table and this is going to make a very complex and very rich

Unknown:

life and planet. If we start to discriminate, start to

Unknown:

to cancel people out. It is not going to get us anywhere because

Unknown:

we are hurting ourselves deep inside when we're trying to

Unknown:

eliminate a person that we think is living outside of us but we

Unknown:

are really all connected and we can keep treating each other

Unknown:

that way.

Unknown:
