I completely forgot how ingenious and inspirational the stories told on TED.com were... I was infatuated with this site for awhile... and then my life became sooo busy... but this story of our shared humanity told by Chris Abani is worth your time and then some.... hopefully you get addicted to Ted.com.. there is definitely something for everyone on this site
My favorite lines in this story...
"bombing for peace... is like fucking for virginity"
"language cannot be understood in its abstraction....it can only be understood in the context of a story.."
"the cause of all our trouble is the belief in an essential pure identity...."
Here is the link to the video and to the site:)------->http://blog.ted.com/2008/07/22/telling_stories/
