Couldn't Agree more

In my home when you buy or get a new perfect object its a tradition to scratch it or make some superficial damage to it. We then say 'there its not new anymore' and the idea is now you won't be afraid to use it or afraid of ruining it. Clearly Wabi Sabi is embraced by many cultures in different ways. :)

I've spent the last year reading everything I can find on Japanese Aesthetics. As I understand it: Wabi Sabi is two related ideas: Wabi: hermetic, austere, rustic. Often the idealizing of "getting away from it all." Wabi is the imperfections resulting from something being handmade; often with limited tools or supplies. Sabi: Weathered, worn, having patina. In Japanese, it has the same root word as "rust." Sabi is the damage resulting from the inevitable age of an object, but it can also be the appreciation of a well-repaired object. An object can have Wabi without Sabi, and vice-versa.

You are wise beyond your years. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. Thank you.

This is me. I always wait for the perfect time for something to execute but that time doesn’t come. We need to embrace what we currently have and deal with it. And not to forget, always enjoy the moment, not the past nor the future.

Crazy to see this channel go from like 16k in February to 62k now^^

Intuitively I feel like Wabisabi is very true. It’s interesting that it has not only a term but a deep philosophy to it. I appreciate your channel. I’ve made a few minimalism oriented videos recently. Typically I like to make thought-provoking content about self development, minimalism, mindfulness, and uncommon truth. If you or anyone checked it out I really appreciate feedback especially in the early stage of my channels development. Thank you! Stay safe and be blessed 🌿

Facts🤞🏼

The concept or practice of Wabi-Sabi sounds very beautiful. Life is truly an experience that incorporates the "imperfect". What some would view as flaws, others view as character and uniqueness. Coming to terms with a life that is not only about existence but about embracing aging in a gracious manner. I have been enjoying your philosophical moments CK. Thank you.

For me wabi sabi is a way of living in the present. Understanding to relax into the inevitable process of life, time, moments. The process of aging, becoming, unbecoming, and just being me. To live authentically, perfectly imprerfect. To understand our flaws and therefore have the self awareness to see ourselves and heal our traumas. As you said, to find serenity in the chaos.

Your philosophical videos are my favorites. What I understand of Wabi Sabi is very moving to me, and it can be helpful in so many ways. How to make more beautiful what I already have? Both in terms of physical possessions and in relationships with loved ones. How to find hope and good work in the present moment, even while I dream of "better" in my life. Also, in terms of style, for those who do not like items that show wear and tear, we can remember that repair is an increasingly lost skill and attitude that can still serve us well.

The only cure for love, is love. Really like the concept of Wabi-Sabi, great video!

"What we want to achieve here is a fair balance of different emotions. We should accept and let go of sadness once we've received enough value from it. Instead of rejecting our human nature of feeling sadness."

I have read many books on the philosophy of wabi sabi. No one explains it better than you do, professor! Your videos are great. Very nicely done.

Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge with the world :)

We are transitory beings, always the same, always different. P.S. thanks also for letting me discover Cigarettes after sex!

Thanks. In my country we have various features of aging when it applies to objects. Patina, rust, weathering, and a host of other aging appearances. I have been drawn to older objects for some time. They all seem to provide a vivid attractiveness. Not necessarily objects which are deemed antiques which requires an age of 100 years or older, but just everyday objects which have undergone time processes. I think the older I get the more attractive are imperfect features since it gives a kind of beauty that displays uniqueness.

Hey, never been this early

"the room is the emptiness within it and the empty spaces in the walls" Laozi

Hello! Thanks for that video! I have one question about minimalism: I really want adopte a minimalist life style because I feel that it's something that truelly made for me. The "problem' is that I am an artist and I have a lot of sketchbooks, drawings etc. And I can't put my work in a trash or a recycle bin. Because that things (sketchbook, drawings) represents my progress through each year of hard work and help me feel alive and wery happy. I know that I can scan all the stuff but a scaned drawing have NOT the same quality as the original. If you look the scanned art pieces from the famouse museums of the world (you can find it on Google), and after you'll going visit that museums you will see the difference between the quality scan/photo and the original. So the question is: how should I start if I don't want lose my work? Should I let go the things that bring the sens/happiness in my live? Thanks

I mean this is just my take on it, but if your work and art is bringing you joy and value there's no reason to get rid of it. Minimalism is about finding whats most valuable to you, and if having your art with you douse then that's amazing. That said if you just need a neater ways to organize things you could go through your pieces and pick the ones that are most valuable to you or represent your skills/progress and put those into a portfolio to look through at anytime. If you have any stand out pieces you might even be able to frame them around the house so that turn into decor instead of clutter. I also have one artist friend who dedicated a bookshelf to her notebooks, so that they could be organized and have their place in the house but were also out of the way and not really adding to the clutter of her apartment.
