From Fracture to Flow: The Gold That Repairs Our Humanity | Inês NW | TEDxHorta

Core Argument - Expectations are a primary cause of fractures in individuals and systems [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] - True connection, facilitated by joy, heals these fractures [8][9][10] - Unlearning expectations leads to connection without condition, or unconditional love [11][12] - The Japanese art of Kinsugi, repairing broken pottery with gold, serves as a metaphor for illuminating and valuing fractures [13][14][15] Proposed Solution & Future Vision - Healing individuals with "gold" (clarity, resilience) can heal fractured systems [16][17][18] - This healing process requires courage and persistence, not financial investment [19] - The future envisioned is one of integrated individuals acting on love, with pliable systems and heart-driven leadership [20][21]
