I have pondered and have come to one realization - We are all born just to live, not to achieve something beyond ourselves, but to live, to explore, to see, to learn, to experience. The most we can make of our life is to enjoy every bit of it while we can instead of chasing after something that will never end

The trouble is we need money for everything, and most of us are not born rich! We need passive income to cover at least a basic life. How to do that is the question? It's not easy, but it is possible!

i am glad that the universe and the Divine woke me up at this age. I am 15. I truly believe that i am here for a mission, a mission i do not know yet . Slowly i am evolving into my greater and higher self. In every step of the way They will guide me , revealing my true purpose of this existence. Why do people chase the future. There is no future, it is an idea , it is not real, we only have now. love, claire

We thought of life by analogy with a journey, with a pilgrimage, which had a serious purpose at that end, and the thing was to get to that thing at that end. Success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you’re dead. But we missed the point the whole way along. It was a musical thing, and you were supposed to sing or to dance while the music was being played. - Alan Watts

But finally, what we observe around us is that those who think about the likes of what is mentioned in the video are the ones who end up being sad. Those who are actually part of the rat race and doesn't care to stop and reflect are actually not worried much. And that's the paradox, is what I feel. You end up being sad when you try to dissect and find solutions to reality, while those busy in the flow and not caring about the bird's eye perspective don't give a damn.

Why are you going to work? -"to make a living"- So you're maintaining your existence by doing so? -"yes"- So you're doing maintenance? -"uh, yeah"- WHAT ARE YOU MAINTAINING??? ((AND WHY? >>> what's the point? >>> enter existential crisis))

The video is awesome! think about it folk many teenager got into the mafia in their 16 like El Chapo because the were poor - I am poor too I am from Haiti I have had hard time. even though some make money and have fame, but constantly living in danger and unrest they can't even enjoy the properties they own - it the risk worth it?

I love this - clearly inspired by Alan Watts with a fresh spin

Good video, except I think that nomatter how much you want to avoid doing this, it is simply impossible. Maybe we can go like 15-20 minutes at the most. I love Schopenhauer’s essay “On the Vanity of Human Extistence”. Many of the existential philosophers do a good job of identifying these types of things, but then offer a crackpot solution to them. I think the unfortunate truth is that there is no solution.
