Pope Francis delivers an 18-minute TED talk for some ecstatic attendees on topics worth sharing at his conference entitled “The Future You” which he held at Vatican City.

After watching the 18-minute video, I could essentially boil down what he was saying into four definitive points.

Pope Francis brings to life how “life is made of yous, it is made of encounters because life flows through relationships.” He brings up how all of our existence is tied together through interactions. How even though there are complications and hardships, there is beauty and greatness in the mere thought of life. Which brings up a relevant question, why you and not me? This question can be a familiar one for those who feel empathy for others. Why you and not me? You could either perceive that question as Why am I not on the street begging for money? or Why am I not making millions? Whether if you wish or wonder, one can tell where you are in your idea of richness and relationships. What you should classify as a blessing is interactions. We are all connected and need to restore our connections to a healthy state.

He teaches us that when we exclude, we are just shutting and locking a door and the “problem” doesn’t go away. However, you are not a number or statistic. The hate you may hold in your heart will not go out if you keep letting it burn…simple. All that will be left is an ash of unresolved expressions. It will only continue to destroy if it isn’t resolved. That metaphor expresses why we can’t live autonomously. Love is the source and meaning of life. Love is the result of relationships and interactions.

In the political state of the European refugee crisis and closed border executive orders, Pope Francis preaches solidarity. He shares his ability to empathize, for he is a family of immigrants and could have very well ended up with those discarded citizens.“Allow me to say it loud and clear: The more powerful you are, the more your actions will have an impact on people, the more you are responsible to become humble.” Self-righteous leaders have toxified government and Pope Francis’s message speaks to not just leaders, but also civilians trying to overcome this hate; overcome with love.

Finally, his holiness teaches us that there are revolutions all throughout history that deal with fighting oppression and fighting for the good; why can’t there be a revolution of tenderness? Tenderness correlates with interactions and love. You fall in love with your mother when your eyes gaze at each other, and she cradles you tightly. We must be at the same level as others to act tenderly. Our passion must overcome our hatred.

Pope Francis ends his talk gracefully and poised. His talk is so versatile, that those who practice any form of religion or no religion at all, can relate and take something from it. Calmly, he reminds us to love, always love.
