Totally agree! After a few minutes of listening to his story and seeing the way he presents himself, you really stop beginning to see the deformity as profoundly as you did when you first started the TED talk. It's really telling: we judge people at first glance, and even though we know we shouldn't, we can't help it.

The father loved him unconditionally. Visited him in the baby ward. Didn't want to risk his sons life with surgery. Man thats such a heartwarming thing, yet so heartbreaking that his mom didnt feel the same. His brother giving him the cinfidence he needed when he was 14 was such a touching moment. Robert is a beautiful person through and through. Id give up any semblance of good looks to be loved and cherished as much as he is by his family

@khanakhana9906

Ай бұрын

His father definitely had loved him unconditionally with just accepting him how he is. It’s seems like his father’s life guidelines doesn’t include people’s opinions and the view that appearance has great hold on your life. It’s very admirable. I agree. But his mother might have been true in that regard of making her sons life a little bit better by choosing to go for surgery. Yes, it was risky but I’m sure she prayed for it to go well and had only good intentions. She might had known people’s true colors to execute such a decision.

His mom.... the way she treated him really rubbed me the wrong way. My mother abandoned me at age 3 and left me to my father to raise me, but what this guy's mom did is so much more painful. To even know that your mother contemplated those kind of thoughts is just horrid. By no means do I have a hard life like he has, my face is actually quite attractive to many women, so I've got the opposite effect. But, I feel so strongly for this man's past, I'm not usually one to shed a tear, but this man has had it rough and I respect him for taking life by the horns and playing with the cards he has been dealt. I pray that he has this kind of strength for the rest of his life.

He could be considered brave for surviving bullying, or speaking at a tedx knowing plenty of people will see the speech he gave especially if you are scared of public speaking. However he is not brave or inspiring for getting on the stage giving his speech because of his face and/or disability. The latter suggests that just because of how his body was made that he isn't capable of living a life just like you or anyone else and needs a pat on the head for simply doing his job.

I knew a kid when I was in middle school, couple grades below me. He had been born without a nose, and had gone through repeated surgeries to build one. You could tell his nose was flatter than normal, with a red line of scar tissue going down the center of it. He got bullied, by a couple specific kids I guess, because he looked so different. When I was in 10th grade (so he would have been in 8th grade by this time), I heard that one of the kids who was known to bully him had punched him in the face and broken his nose. The principal did nothing; she said they were boys just rough housing. I remember I got so angry, because I was bullied the entire time I was at that school, and she did nothing about that, either. I started walking down the block to confront her (she lived at the end of my street while I was in middle school), only to discover she had moved the previous year. I just remember how upset I was that day, and how angry for that kid I was.

Unbelievably strong and courageous man, he’s a far more rare and more beautiful human being on the inside than you’d ever find amongst the popular and fashionable people considered ‘beautiful’ on the outside.

My very first love was handicapped, with slight facial deformities, he was the most beautiful human…Bryan was his name, unforgettable first love.

Honestly, the longer you look at him and watch him talk, the more normal he looks. You see under it really quickly.

From what I understand, I think that the way we perceive attractiveness, and the way we judge likeability, are controlled by the same part of the brain. So when we meet perfect strangers, we are predisposed to like or get along with those who are better looking. However, as we get to know their personality better, we perceive people that we like as better looking, regardless of how they actually look, and if we reeeeeaally don't like someone, we tend to notice more flaws in their appearance. So as you listen to this guy and you like his perspective, your brain will start to perceive him as better looking.

First take into it that it was a different Time - Gender Eaquality was just brought up and the Hippie-Era just was fading. Also the integrative thinking towards challenged people was not the same as today. Then take into thought that everyone is affected if you bring someone "Challenged" (I really hate this word) into your family - it affects everyone, even the siblings. To ask them about their feelings about it and look at it in a more wideley perspective also prepares them for the coming life with the "different" Brother. As everyone in the Family is affected by this decision everyone should bring in his/her thoughts. Finally, you forget one important thing: The first Vote and the way of handling situations like this first Time was exactly the one as it was the second tim when he learned "to own his face". If his Parents had just decided without asking anyone else, his Brother would not had been present to make this remark which turned the tide - and mostly, with or without the Operation done, his life would not have that meaning as it has now.

I'm an artist and I drew many portraits and I accept people's faces but I never drew my portrait because I never accepted myself! This time I'll draw my own face and I'll accept myself as it is!

Ahhh...if only I could be so brave like Robert! And how fortunate to have his dad! I wish Robert a beautiful life.

A really beautiful man. I appreciate you
