Valarie Kaur : 3 lessons of revolutionary love in a time of rage

If Sarah Kay’s son was born, she would tell us the same things by using spoken-word poetry. I thought that in this TED, the speaker was really like Sarah Kay would speak.

Valarie Kaur at TEDWomen 2017
3 lessons of revolutionary love in a time of rage  (transcript)
Summary
Rage means violent anger or uncontrollable anger and there is massive hatred.
We live there now, we forget it and we say that we love many things.
If there is forgiveness there, it makes us free from hate.
Forgiveness is not forgetting and we shouldn't forget people who hurt us are more wounded. Thus we need to forgive them with love. That needs revolutionary love.
It is to forgive others, to love others and to love yourself.

People were born by their mothers struggling. There is no rage and hatred there. Whatever may occur, we have to return there with revolutionary love.

Words in this story
hatred /noun/ intense dislike or ill will.
rage /noun/ violent, uncontrollable anger.
struggle /verb/ fight, combat
suffer /verb/  hurt, ache, be in pain, feel pain
