Karen Armstrong2 : Let's revive the Golden Rule

TEDGlobal 2009
Karen Armstrong2 : Let's revive the Golden Rule (script)
Summary
Compassion is the centrality in all the major religions of the world. It is worth the Golden Rule that is the source of all morality. It is not somethinf only religious people believe in.
However, it seemed to be only emphasized. People are in the center of their world now. They do their good deed for the day, and then they return to a life of greed and egotism. People want to be right one but they seemed not to want to be compassionate. Even religious leaders argue about abstruse doctrines with hatred. Religious teaching is not believing abstruse doctrines. It should be the thing that always leads to action.
So compassion is not simply feeling sorry for somebody and you don't understand compassion if you'er just going to think about it. You always have to do it.
When all people have compassion, they can be considerate of all people, and they can gather, cooperate and work beyond religion, we can get over many problems and change the world. We have to learn amity and to live together more.
The talk is thought to be about all religions though I want especially Japanese people who will be a member of no religion to watch the Talk. It's because compassion is the source of all morality which is needed for all people.
And then, one accident that the speaker just told us lacking compassion in this TED talk occurred.
One customer was dragged off from a plane and he got injured. The reason was that the company had to suddenly move four people by using that plane.
However, if among four people who have to take an airplane or among passengers, someone could say that he/she gets off the plane, or if someone could say that he/she would take on the next flight or if the company could give up four people to move, the accident wouldn't occur.
All people didn't have compassion. We have to be considerate of others, irrespective of being yellow, white, or doctors.
The accident is our reality.
This is the reason why all we have to revive our compassion.
