    If just one of my dozens of teachers from kindergarten to university would have had the decency to say this to me, it would have helped more than anything I've ever been taught by them combined... but alas, in the words of Jordan Peterson himself... I must "take responsibility for the catastrophe of my life"...

    Aloe Vera so true! My 18 year old niece died from cancer and before she died she forgave the two biggest monsters in her life - a mother with a narcissistic personality disorder and a father who believed blindly in the child's obligation to never question a parent, which forced her to suffer her mother's emotional abuse. Once she knew her inescapable fate, she let go of the paralysing aspects of resentment and hatred. Partly she did so because we did research on how stress is related to cancer, but also she hoped her act of forgiving them would change them for the better. Her parents continued their dysfunctional behaviour but she had overcome the suffering her parents inflicted...please don't wait to let go of resentment and anger. Do your best to do it now, for yourself!

    Take on responsibility and resentment will fade. im sure he says something like that as well. And Hatred is apart of responsibility, but its also shows what you are aiming at in the responsibility if you are even. Are you aiming at the Star or everything you hate along the way to get there or that is shoved in the way you walk it.. Are you in the center of the Wheel or Being spun by all the life of suffering. Take for example, The Pain of running, or being hurt. Or Someone did something that betrayed or hurt but whats the root responsibility you are aiming at and how much does that have to do with what you are hating, and again then if it does have something related to the Responsibility. TAKE AIM Not at the Star you can do, not what cant be

    Peterson, you are so very insightful. I am the typical man you are speaking of. At my previous place of employment I felt like a caged animal because I did not want to be there. I have since quit, returned to school and started a business which is just starting to take off. It is so important to be able to make the choice of which responsibility and which load you want to bear. Then you can pick something truly meaningful to you. I have never had anyone explain how I felt and what I was going through in such a clear and logical manner. I did not understand what I was going through until listening to you. Thank you for helping me organize my thought patterns. You help bring meaning to my life and I have a deep respect for what your are trying to do. The world needs more men like you. For everyone's sake, keep up the good work! You're word will echo throughout the eons.

    What else do you have to do? He makes a really good point here. You either resentfully deny life and live as if you might as well be dead, or you actually choose to live by actively taking the steps that are necessary in order to be a life confirming person. And you do this by acknowledging the necessity of suffering if you choose to live. As Albert Camus correctly stated, the only logical alternative to this is suicide. Denying yourself meaning by refusing to accept suffering is denying yourself any hope for a glimpse of happiness in this life.

On the other side, im glad i found this right now, i hope i can steer my life, make it meaningful, and if i fail, at least i will do it acknowledging everything and that it wasnt as meaningful as it should've been but here and there, meaning was found, given and taken.

    CA L When your mind and soul converge to feel the rightness you felt as well as grasp it by way of intellect that is when wisdom is born and has the potential to grow. You'll know how much you've internalized these insights when you look back through your developmental trajectory and notice that your cognitive and behavioral patterns have changed in accordance with this wisdom. Perhaps it is not that you lack the mental sophistication to grasp what he says, but that the most superficial aspect of your psyche, to some degree, resists such simple truths despite their profundity... Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. A lot of this self-development stuff is counter-intuitive because ppl throw a bunch of information at us in very sophosticated ways and yet it seems that the things that resonate the most deeply are the most simple reframings of existence. The holy grail of spirituality comes by unlearning. Beauty feels innate to reality once all the abstractions r removed. The truth is so simple that a thing as complex as your mind rejects it. Just some thoughts

    To what end though? Life has 3 options in my view... Escapism, trying, giving up. Even with escapism (drugs, video games, or whatever thing that distracts you from the mundane painful experience of existing). Your're left with reality right after the escape ends. Trying can only go on for so long before you start to lose sight of the point of trying in the first place.

    "Responsibility is the ability to respond" is a quote from Milton Erickson that I learned from Steven Hoskinson, who does amazing work on healing trauma. I believe this is highly related to Peterson's point: healing childhood and intergenerational trauma that keeps us stuck in fight/flight/freeze (and therefore dis-ables us to respond to the environment) will finally enable us to again re-orient to the here-and-now and to the future (in the sense described by Peterson and in the biological, literal sense of having an online orientation response and social engagement system) and therefore make us able to respond -- responsible -- to the world that we live in. This responsibility is greatly enjoyable because 1. it is by definition a state of 'mindfulness' / being present / living in the here-and-now and 2. we re-connect with our shared humanity and we can experience the broader interdependence with all of life. Those are intrinsic and deeply meaningful experiences of connection to others that I believe invoke an irrepressible sense of compassion -- and a natural responsibility to one another.

    Is one of his most useful lectures. More parents should speak to their kids like this, tell them how life actually works so they can make better good for themselves. 2:50 you don't take responsibility for things you don't accept, only for things you do accept. Intolerable vulnerability. Cain externalized responsibility for his life. Accept responsibility for the catastrophe of life and transcend it. You're strong enough to do it but just don't know it. Don't let what you are stop you from being what you could be. Aim at the star you can see. Play a straight game. A sense of meaning will elevate your pathway. Responsibility makes life meaningful. It's worth it. Paradoxically, the solution lies in the acceptance of life mortality. Summary at 13:50 15:30 you are all in it.

    "...thing about being alive is that your all in. No matter what you do, this is gunna kill you. So i think you might as well play the most magnificent game you can, while your waiting. Do you really have anything better to do?" I couldnt imagine, as a current university student, a professor saying something so profound in a lecture that it would immediately take effect on my life the way this quote did.

    "All you have to give up is your resentment and hatred" I would add to that RESISTANCE. Let go and let God. The path to happiness (aka, contentment, enlightenment) greets you every day in the form of problems and challenges. Take them on and make an effort to improve the situation in some way. I believe the "suffering" we experience is merely the impetus to evolve as a species. Just as other species evolve improved characteristics and behavior, it comes through constant challenges in the environment. We're here to improve our species in some way and then die. What is so wonderful is that we are actually hard wired to enjoy overcoming the challenges. Let go of resistance and evolve. It's what you were born to do.

    The nature of self pity extends itself to view self as victim and paradoxically target an easy patsy like a corporation to blame for all that is wrong in what ever negative view they are set on. It is, thus, a logical and rational stand to say such people ought to fix their own problems and rather dedicate time to problem solve instead of projecting out what needs to be solved in their own stance. So in between their emotional response of self desperation and the thought or idea to use the energy to solve the issue, in between thought and idea is a feeling. This is an intuitional heart felt energetic focus. It is also the most powerful survival skil in a human. In animals it is the four f's fuck, feed, fall asleep and fear, in a human it is the 'f' four-letter word: FEEL. In actuality humans tend to solve problems within by projecting and solving a similar issue on the outside, this is a very valid and predominant problem solving skill. These actions are an inception of empathy which is precursor of compassion, the one saving grace of the species. Grandly underutilized. For example, if one is lacking love and needs nurturing, one goes out and provides food and comfort for the poor, thus caring for another and nurturing a part of the self that needs to feel love and uses compassion to feel it. This is true for every creature, going beyond self, helping others to the best of one's abilities and thus perfecting those abilities, enables a human to go beyond the self and bring awareness to every part of their (his/hers/midsex') being. A meditator of ideas and possibilities may feel, for a second example, that their liberties are regulated by agendas that are most likely 'insert something negative here', he may feel that it is a conflict to have a language restricted by regulations that narrow his scope of perceived choice and protests by civil disobedience instead of going to the root of the problem, language structure itself, its origins and propose a more empathetic and compassionate solution.

    Every life has meaning. The sad part is because a person means nothing to me or someone else doesnt mean they have no meaning. They may mean the world to someone else. The important thing is living your life the way it makes you happy and your filling fulfilled. Don't live your life the way society says you need to so that you can have meaning. Do you. Be happy, follow your interests, enjoy your hobbies, and find those that relate.
