A profound lecture on the meaning of life may be boring to some, but it is never a waste of time.
Disease is not a gift to life. There are good and bad things in life that exist. We humans are the ones to make decisions for ourselves, we decide what to make of from good or bad circumstances. We cant rely on nor justify the existence of bad things eg.disease as though they are the apparatus to help strengthen us in life. It should not be attributed to the disease, but ourselves for making the right decisions,given a bad situation.
wow what a wonderful lecture and experience…
hello, please legend the video, like MIT does, im from Brazil, thanks
Why waste your time making negative comments about a speaker who wants to help other people live better. Science or “pseudoscience” has nothing to do with it. Dr. Remen has some cool things to say.
yawn-a-rific
You cannot ignore the fact that many of the claims by Art of Living are unsubstantiated and exaggerated. Art of Living is, in essence, a pseudoscience. And a silly cult. It’s interesting how Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, a man with no college education, acts as if he’s the greatest doctor who has the cure to HIV.
All this is so typical of alternative medicine.
Of course If your dying of cancer your not like gonna start complaining. The shit has hit the fan. You’re gonna be greatfull because you don’t want to die. True, Life is sweet compared to death.
Maybe I can be a road digger and pretend I am a million aire, or have a M.D. and be like this woman. This woman obviously didn’t need to write a story, she wasn’t sweeping shit of the pavement for low payment.
You cannot write a story if you are in denial.
This amazing women just waisted 59 minutes of are lives. Today is a new day. Go write your own story.
Fantastic!!!
-yawn- I fell asleep…
I couldnt agree more. I was an extreme alcoholic for 12 years but havent had a drink in 18 months. I truly feel like I am living for the very first time. Sometimes I wonder if anyone else is as glad to be alive as me.
What moving words from Dr. Remen. I’m grateful for having heard them.
This is such truth. Disease is a gift in the effect it can have on the soul, it gives one the chance to re-evaluate there life and focus on things within the here and now.Everything happens for a reason,even if we don’t like what it is.
