"Take life as it comes"... sums up the Irish attitude to life.

From time to time I come back, just to see that old man smile when he tells the camera that he married the love of his life 50 years later...

4 years later and I was recently in Galway. Can confirm after a random happenstance at a bus stop that Jamaican Brain is bopping around Galway & happy as ever.

And even if you're not a person of faith, to instead wonder at the absolutely mind-boggling odds of you being here and existing at this point in the vast vast VAST depths of time.

I think this proves that people in the Western World disregard the serious questions in the fear of inconvenience it brings. Because our lives are so ruled by all the political, religious, social, media doctrines. The real questions, why are here, where are we going, what do we need to change, the point of life etc. Though yes they do present an issue, they will make you feel so much more connected to your true self because in being honest with yourself you really know yourself. That's my regret, that I avoided the questions for too long.

When I saw all the pain and hurt behind that mask.. I got really emotional. (to the Empaths out there who saw this. Do you agree? It was like a knife in the heart for a second.. Horrible. So many regrets and so much pain behind those blue eyes and that nervous smile. Life is not fair. It didn't surprise me at all that he committed suicide.) To all humans who go and carry this much pain. Please say something.. If you only knew how many we are trying to find people like you before it is to late. We won't charge. We won't extort. We won't try to lure you in with false, parodical religions or other lies instituted to controlling the masses.. Our payment is your well-being. Simple as that. (We are empaths dedicated to altruism.

God, when this video was put on KZread I lived on Merchants Road... I live in Germany now... This really takes me back. Galway really steals a part of your soul, though. I lived there 8 years 2008-2016.

Amazing how many young people had regrets and didn't realize how young they are. So much time they still have to travel, play the guitar etc.

Beautiful, really emotional.

broke my heart listening to this

These people are so honest and sincere. Can’t help but love them all💚

I have to say, I really like how these 50 people 1 question videos show the people walking away. For me, seeing them walk away onto the street again, into their own separate lives is sad. We never know what will happen to them in the few moments they're gone or even the next days, months, or years. I know we only heard a small piece of their lives but if you just think about where they could be wanting to go in life, how could anyone not wish them the best?

i really love this video! like you can see in their faces when they realise whats they're regret, they have this sadness in their eyes! this video touched me, so thank you!!

Not living with my father when he asked me to at 14. I only ever got to see him for Christmas's and summer break. He passed away in 09 and i missed so much time with him.

12 years later I'm still coming back to this video for some perception

Thank you this is really beautiful. :) I keep coming back to this video year after year.

The old man saying he has been married with his love for one year....so sweat!

Notice how almost everyone's regrets we're something they didn't do rather than something they did do? Theres a valuable lesson in this and it's to seize the moment, live life to the fullest extent. It's far greater to have done something and maybe regret it than to have done nothing at all and wished you had.

Love Galway so much.. it’s my spiritual home. I lived there for years & recognised some of the faces in that video.. my biggest regret is waisting so much time in my youth and not filling my life then, with all the wonderful stuff I enjoy doing now ❤️

That's the most moving thing I have ever seen. Great job!

Simple, honest, beautiful

It's crazy how time flies. Im crying right now that what if my dreams doesn't come true, what if I can't achieve them. Do I even have dreams anymore, what is my dream? I feel like this is the Rock bottom in my life I am in right now.

your video was really touching. I had tears flowing down as i was watching. I really enjoyed it and it was just lovely to see people really think about the question and answer it so honestly. Several individuals from different countries, different ages, different experiences, and yet I find that I can connect with these strangers from the things they say. thank you for your work.

You know what!?! There should be more videos like that. It's not a stupid, empty video with nonsense..there should be more videos like this.. :)

This was beautiful.

Saw this when it first came out and have come back a few times since just to see it again ... Love this video! Could watch more of it!

This is a brilliant piece of work. I can't remember ever watching such a short film and caring for so many people that I don't even know. I'm in tears. This is humanity. Thank you for the reminder. I will look at all the people in my life in a more compassionate way because of this

"I should've started living for joy sooner" I have the same regret.

Thank you all for watching this short production and your kind comments. Most of all - thank you all for sharing your regrets with me and the others. It is very inspirational to hear your life stories and experiences. I hope this short movie brings something to your life... like your comments and emails brings to mine... Thank you.

Oh my God, for how long hazy-eyed emotions with tears.. Thank you KamilFilms

wow.. tough question.. people do not expect to face such question on the street

thought this was really sensitively done - One could see people really searching and it worked as a format

This video had me in tears. I share many of their regrets that's why I found this so moving. Love, Sarah

This is amazing. The look on their faces after answering the question is almost life changing.

This actually gives a great message to stop procrastinating and do what you really gotta do.

Keep it up!

That cute little man that married his love 50 years later just filled me up with so much joy.

Woool! the girl Elanine from mayo it's beautiful! I've been in Galway once very nice city

I feel like the lady at the end had some huge and painful regret, so that's why she preaches to not regret anything. To try and comfort herself (but who knows this is a huge assumption)

This is by far the best 50 people one question video on the internet. The people of galway make it.

In this very moment I'm watching this footage from a hotel in Galway after missing out on the city in order to visit various parks with my dog. Thanks for giving me a feeling of this town. While I'm very home sick at times, and while I'm in Dublin, I can't restrict myself to make peace with Ireland after seeing such footage and feeling out the awesome people I've found here. All the best!

sad to hear that rest in peace tom

People in Galway generally seem to have good teeth even when older. My granny came from Galway and had great teeth right up to her nineties.

this is one of my favorite videos of all time--it was one of the first series that highlighted the human experience! to remind us that we're not so different after all!
