      Shows how being ignored & dismissed, not feeling seen or heard and/or being chronically misunderstood can lead a person to question their own reality and even their own existence! It makes you feel like you’re in a simulation 🧟‍♀️ How beautiful that she received & felt her proper recognition 🙌🥹

    I've been in a very existentially somber mood recently, which is what lead me down a rabbit hole of Ted Talks and, ultimately, here. Then, I read from a comment by Klea Tselentis that Emily passed on February 3rd, and that struck me so deeply because today is also February 3rd. Thank you for this, Emily.

    What an absolute treasure of a person she is. I'm in an incredibly dark place right now and I thought this might be a good topic for me given the title of the talk. What a pleasure it was to watch, especially knowing this perfect stranger made it possible for me to smile for nearly fifteen minutes, which to me is incredible and I'm very grateful. On top of that simple fact, I find I have much more to consider than I did before watching this talk. Thank you.

      Young Romeo She does not convey knowledge. This is called philosophical, conditional dogma.
      She interprets real knowledge with an ideological perspective.
      I mean - good for her. And it is one possible way to keep a sane cognition.
      But it is not knowledge in any way.
      It is a great speech with a pleasurable comedic sense.

    This is so spot on after learning of Ms. Levine's passing. My sister's beloved pet died today. Lively, funny, quick witted, bonded with us - Chase was actually a brown and white domestic rat. He was 2 1/2-3 yrs old, that is quite long in the fang, for a rodent. After over two years of fun, and great companionship (rats are gonzo smart), he began to fail, and he stopped eating. Nature was speaking. We listened. My sister fed Chase some CBD in water, with a dropper, to keep him comfy and calm. Last night she put him in his towel bed, and he quietly drifted off to sleep, and did not wake up. . "Do not go gently into that good night - rage, rage against the dying of the light"..Well, maybe, not so much. Rest well, Ms. Levine..

    @LoveAndPeaceOccurs 6 лет назад +1

    Thank You, Emily Levine. Your humor and wisdom is needed and appreciated. Yeah ... reality ... it's always there, it's just a matter of how much we want to see it for what it is ... and is not. I agree Life and Death cannot be with out each other. Your remarks about nature and women ... however are interesting, and worth more thought. While you do not have to be very old to experience death (seeing people, animals and plants dying all around us) ... knowing at some point we will also die ... I consider what makes some want to live forever ... or just live to be older than most ... the part of having to let go or say goodbye to that which we feel so connected ... It is not easy to form a strong connection to just anyone (for some not even with their parents or family) ...so when you have a strong connection, that connection, helps you feel so good (about being alive) and so I consider it is the connection we don't want to go away ... in the form of dying. Also there is that fear of the unknown (unless you are a person who has a strong belief about what exactly does happen once we die). Emily, you make me think about my Dear, deceased, Mother-in-law. Flo. Flo lived well ... and even though she was prepared to die, once she knew she would be within a relative period of time, she actually said once (within her last few weeks) ... "I don't know how to do this" ... of course she did not she'd only dedicating her life to living ... that had to be such an odd transition for her ... but death ... it has it's own way stepping in and taking over at some point. Our death is inevitable but suffering due to fear of it is optional and suffering that follows the death of someone Dear ... that's due to the loss of connection. (We have forgotten we never truly lose connection it does just change forms.) Love & Peace to All

Emily was the girl, jump-in-with-both-feet ready for whatever onstage!! With her mop of dark hair, lively sparkling 'tude, and comedic brilliance, she was hard to miss. And, impossible to forget.

    So fantastic. I think life can be just as beautiful even without limits. Limits have bound our emotions and feelings forever, and while it's risky to disrupt the fragile equilibrium that is life by removing limits like death, I think we're missing out on so much of where life can go if we don't at least test some different limits.

    when she starts going into the stuff about being against women, i kinda knew what she was getting at. if you think of it like yin/yang energy. the world is predominantly yang and places more value on traits associated with masculine energy than it does the yin/feminine energy. i think it's because yin is associated with the unknown, the unpredictable and death and that makes people very afraid of it. yin is opposite to yang but that doesn't mean it's bad, evil or weak and needs to be controlled at all costs. look at the evil in the world today that came from an imbalance towards yang. no, yin has a different but equal value, one that we maybe don't give enough credit for or respect. we admire its beauty or mysteries but arrogantly believe we can control it and don't acknowledge its important lessons or take it as part of ourselves. stuff that's yin: cycles, nature, death, birth, labor, emotions, the ocean, intuition, the feminine, unknown etc. it's not bad, just scary because we often have trouble acknowledging, let alone accepting aspects of yin that exist in ourselves. we're in denial internally and so we've been denying it externally too.
