How not to hate | Wannasingh Prasertkul | TEDxBangkok

Hatred around the world arise from small differences that gradually turn into conflicts. As we might begin to unconsciously discriminate people with different attitudes, Prasertkul invites us to put ourselves into others' shoes and try to see the world through their eyes. From hunter tribe in Africa to the Dalai Lama to political protestor groups in Thailand, each and every individual has their own reason supporting their beliefs. This talk will help us realize that behind a few differences, human beings share greater similarities regardless to groups or parties they belong to.

Wannasingh Prasertkul is a television host, a documentary maker, a writer, an explorer and a societal developer. His career in media industry allows him to journey around the world and learns about the difference in culture, perception and moral standard in every place he has visited.

I really need this. There are so many people who have wronged me in some of the worst ways. I hate them so much I could just lose it. I hate a lot of things. I am so tired of it. Hate has only made me so sad.

"If you really know me and you really know yourself, you would not have killed me"

[rockoffaith]

wow, this should be shared virally! Such a message for the whole world to see.

I'm agreed with you that why do we judge people by their race, skin, religion, or whatever.. nowadays we consume lots of information by media, news, social, etc.. but we never realize that what information is true, what information is fake, how much can we trust that information.. I would suggest to hold down your thinking and consider that information carefully by without bias

Goodness is what connects people. The manner which it happens varies from place to place, time to time, culture to culture. The need for connection remains constant. Excellent talk!

[littlebanana]

i have a fear of being left alone, and people who tried to do that to me, to bully me, make me hate them so much... Now I cannot see the good in others, i dont trust anyone... It's literally killing me and I want to stop that...

I feel like this only applies to larger scale hatred. When you oppose a certain ideology or group. But what to do about those who knew you and showed NOTHING but hate towards you? What to do about those who purposefully made things harder for you during a vulnerable time in your life?

This conference talks about feelings of impersonal hatred. I am still lost over what to do about the need for payback and make those who hurt you at your worst feel the same pain if not more.

Deep down its not the matter of hatred or not, crises or disputes happening these days are caused by the conflict of interest among people. Not every decision or action made can benefit or make everyone happy in the society. Educating general group of people is simple, but it would not halt the problem entirely. Instead, policy makers, decision makers or the one that runs or represents the society should learn to be more selfless and do more to benefit the people, or at the very least be compassionate. But still, I think making everyone happy is nearly impractical but we should at least try to be near perfect.

Hatred for different opinions, of course, has no justifications, but shouldn't you hate injustice and dictatorship? I don't hate bad or dictatorial people blindly, but I hate the ill actions they take that affects others' lives unfairly. To fight against injustice and dictatorship, or tyranny, Wannasingh, is to help the world, and, for that matter, to accept or ignore them serves the contrary. I agree, however, that we can and should fight against bad deeds without hatred toward the wrongdoers. Yet again, we must act as a responsible human one way or another, I think, when injustice, or tyranny, is manifested in front of us.

[takdanainaka]

if you still cannot accept it .. ask yourself what else can you really do?

[Amina]

The whole talk was wonderful, esp the introduction and conclusion which shound very... human-like. I love humans too. But sometimes I can't accept- nor forgive what they did to me, or perhaps, to other. Anyway, I like you quote at the end of the talk. Don't say it is not your quote. I think you should be proud of such beautiful ideal. If I were to create any quote like that, I would say... "This" is my quote. :) Lastly, thank you for such an inspiring journey!

The way leading to the cessation of Hatred is loving kindness because the loving kindness is the enemy of hatred Jor bor จบ.

At the early of the talk, it is interesting when he said he was a yellow shirt, a political supporter believing in good-man ideology. However, the yellow shirt group was originally created by a hatred of Taksin, the former prime minister. This makes me really want to hear what he has to say about how not to hate. After listening to the end, I was not surprised to find so many biases and attitudes that the Yellow shirt always has - HATRED. Here they are:

Firstly, he searched for a definition of good men though he should have known about it very well because the Yellow shirt always claim they themselves are good people. Secondly, he showed how difficult life the Red shirt supporters had at the time of protesting and showed the after-match, the damage of burned Central World building, though no one knows who did it (despite the fact that no one commits arson). He also expressed that he feared of getting hit by the supporters when he visited them (Why? Did he wear a yellow shirt? Did he think they would hit a person randomly?). Eventually, he surprisingly found himself offered impressive basic sticky rice(Much better of getting hit. Eh ). On the other hand, he did not show what damage the Yellow shirt had done, and he did not fear of the Yellow (He may need to wear a red shirt to prove goodness in the Yellow).

He finally gave a conclusion about how not to hate that I doubt whether his conclusion would help people out of hatred since his presentation still showed it.

Just like a simple words. In the Bible books said, If someone hit your face you just turn the other side for them. This is a easy words that i try to translate for your guys which who would like to know HOW NOT TO HATE? So what is it mean? Jesus said, Love is the only one thing that can do everything. Everything possible in our Jesus.
