    Someday your going to realize that a secret society and brotherhood single handedly brainwashed you into believing in a "cosmos" you have been lied to and you just dont want to see it because its harder to prove to someone theyve been tricked rather than to just trick them initially . The Earth is Flat there is no space or planets its all just science fiction indoctrinated into you by forces under free mason and jesuit control.

    Slowly you realise that half of the things and stress are useless, meaningless and doesn't really even make sense. Slowly you realise that this life should not be taken as serious as they say. Slowly you realise that this life is simple, unique and beautiful, and a small things and moments that we have now are precious, that you can break any cycle of past and history and just make your own sense, that you don't have to believe anything they say or don't say and choose the life you desire to live.

    If I saw this video a year ago I'd probably be filled with existencial crisis and anxiety, now I'm in awe and a complete state of serenity. It reminds me to take pleasure in the simple things in life and not waste it by getting all worked up and giving my time to things that won't bring me joy or help me grow into a better person. I was in a depression for almost 3 years up until january this year, 6 months later I'm the happiest I've ever been. A lot of people actually think I'm going through something rn bc I made many radical changes at once, I quit college, dropped a lot of friends and my boyfriend, left the city I lived in, etc. and to many that seems like I'm having a manic episode, what they don't realise is that for the first time in many years I actually feel like me again. I've learned to love myself like I haven't before and it's a kind of love I've never experienced before, it's refreshing. I used to be very insecure and dependant when it came to relationships and now I don't even feel the need to be with anyone. There's no better company than our own when we're happy with who we are. I hold no grudges, no longer stuck living in the past, worrying about the future. The past present and future are simultaneously happening at the same time, I just let it happen one moment to the next, continuously, ever learning, growing and loving. Connect yourself to earth, bury your hands in the dirt/sand, feel the warm sun kiss the skin on your cheeks, stretch and gently massage your body, feel the cold grass on your feet, let your whole body be consumed in the water. Remember to practice love and love those near you but do not be afraid to walk away when something's not right. Love is powerful, it's how we change the world for the better.

Also I cut out the obituary and put it in there as well. I plan on giving those items to my grandchildren before I die and tell them to do the same.

    This is amazing. It doesn't sugar-coat our existence. It just simply 'is'. We are here, briefly. One of billions. No meaning, just existence. No goal to reach, just life. A beginning, a middle, an end. It is not to be feared. People can still live their lives the way they wish. Still do the things they love. Be with the people they care about. Study, work, play, etc. But ultimately were are mere blips on a radar. Probably not even that. It makes it more concerning that a lot of the time we spend hating each other. We fight wars. Hate others in the name of religion, politics, perceived differences, etc. And, ultimately, for what?

I just wish everyone on earth can live a happy life, feel loved, find their purpose in life and leave the world in a better place than when they found it; even if it means just helping a random stranger on the street or being a good friend - you're making an impact in their world.

If you just point your existence to suffering even though at the end it won't matter because it will all disappear eventually, then your better off wiping your existence out earlier then trying to make the best of it or in a bad ending case "it seems no longer possible".

It provides a huge sense of hope that everyone should proceed with accomplishing their dreams in life and living it to the fullest.

    Its really cool to see this thought laid out so eloquently. I had this thought when I was about 15. I was in a graveyard looking at tombstones of people who’s names have been lost to the elements. They were someone, they had fears and dreams just like me, but now they’re more than forgotten, just a small blank monument to the passage of time. It’s a bittersweet realization that only the minuscule amount of time we have is our frame of reference. Follow your path and live. One day you’ll be a nameless tombstone, or ashes in the ocean, soil for a sapling, the list goes on. It’s not worth worrying all the time.

Knowing that whatever you’re going through will pass , and that even though it’s a big deal to you , it’s probably a man-made struggle that won’t exist in a little bit of time , is comforting. It definitely helps me stop worrying and looking so deeply into everything , because ultimately , this thing i’m stressed about means nothing and i don’t want to spend my tiny amount of time on earth , worrying for something so small.

He says to live free and unrestrained and to find your own meaning in life. What truly matters is that you are so unimportant that what you do doesn’t matter so why even stress over it. Ofcourse certain things will matter to you now but only those you choose to worry about, although they aren’t even worth it in the end. Camus proposed a question of philosophical suicide and as a possible consequence actual suicide.

Yes, in the "grand scheme", we don't matter at all, but at the present moment, we do, and that's how we need to frame it up while we are here. If not, there's no point at all, and we just descend into chaos.

    This video really gave me a lot of anxiety and a existential crisis like I mean actually I’m going through it right now. It started 2 nights ago when I decided to watch this before bed thinking it’d be my usual philosophy video before bed and man was I wrong. Death is the only thing on my mind recently, all I can think about is how life is an interruption in non existence. Since that night I’ve just been looking for reassurance. I talked to a friend about it which did help but I guess I didn’t get the answer I was looking for. I’m going to admit I really just want to be lied to, I see why people turn to religion because just the delusion of something being there after death is comforting to some extent. I currently feel dread, sorrow, and I even started thinking about it in the shower one time and I didn’t even want to finish cleaning myself (I did of course lol). After countless articles, Reddit forums (ridiculous I know lol), I take a world religion class as well so I looked over some beliefs/studies as well, and literally nothing has work. I’m even afraid to close my eyes sometimes because that’s what im assuming death is. I decided to come back to this video since it’s essentially the root of my anxiety right now and I don’t plan on watching any further then 4:52 but that’s all the time I really needed. As I shut my tv off and started digesting my thoughts in the dark I could slowly feel my ego dissolve and Im starting to grow love for the things around me. It just feels so good “talking” about this even if nobody reads this, this video has truly changed me. I heard the saying a little under a year ago that “a man has 2 lives and the second one starts when he realizes he only has 1” and this video truly has enlightened me with that even though I didn’t watch the full thing it has impacted me greatly. Thank you. I hope me coming back to this video makes it easier instead of feeding myself delusions to cope; the comments help a lot too and I just thought I’d share my experience because I see some people saying “if I watched this a year a go I would’ve freaked out” so I thought I’d share my freak out since I don’t see anyone else sharing. It’s helping me a lot that’s why this is so long I hope I can leave this behind. Love❤️

    this video highlighted an idea in my head I hadn't thought of yet. Before seeing this, I would more than ocassionally contemplate on the insignificance of my life and try and use that, as this video might suggest, to quell any insignificant stressors. The only issue with that is not utilizing it in moderation, and thinking about it too much, or not at all. Moderation makes all the difference.

    Currently I’m getting out of the cycle of worry, that was inherited from my parents. Worrying prevents you from thinking laterally and enabling you to really figure out what you should do. Rather than thinking logically you’re just anxious. It’s a learned habit which can be unlearned through discipline.

    For the past year, I've been trying to get a hold of your books, which was seemingly an impossible mission since my country is banned and I can't order anything to be shipped to me. I've really set this as one of my goals, since your videos really struck some strength in me during my deals with depression and anxiety, i knew i shouldn't just let it go although it is not that serious. So I did go with the obvious yet hard plan, which was to save money and travel to another country (UAE in my case) and then purchase the book from a store, it indeed did require alot of money, time, and resources, but the sense of achievement and motivation I felt since i bought your book "The hidden story of every person" is just priceless! I deeply appreciate everything you do. Thank you immensely.
