Casey Gerald at TED Salon: Belonging (transcript)
Embrace your raw, strange magic
Summary
I don’t like the words: being in the raw. It’s because I was taught that enduring and not saying what you want were very important for living. Thus I have thought that being in the raw is selfish.
Furthermore, I was taught that miracles came to you by your endeavor also and I sometimes feel that a miracle happened and I think that it must have come to me by my endeavor and enduring.
However, I didn't notice, I seem to say that I should have done many things often.
I don't know that I think that I should endeavor and endure more or endeavoring and enduring are severe thus I think that I want to be in the raw unconsciously, so even though there is one matter there, there are many feelings and thoughts there. It can not compare.
The speaker is an author who has various backgrounds that he is a black man, graduate from a famous University, his childhood was hard and so on and then he's decided to tell people that he is gay.
One big matter there, there are many feelings and thoughts there. It might lead to failure, though, like strange magic happening, he is succeeding so far and it might be better to be in the raw.
