Then don't expect a guy to take care of you 😒 when guys work to get money woman hate you for it If you're living on your own and are living healthy woman hate it If you're smarter than most especially her then she will most definitely try and kill you And cheat on you. Woman at the end of the day just want to be in control but I can say that's not gonna happen lmao sorry when your a guy and you care about taking care of YOUR family everyone else in the world will target you and try to bring you down so you loose everything humans are messed up like that
I’m an upper limb amputee and I hide it by wearing long sleeve shirts all the time but now I feel like I just wanna wear whatever I want except that I’m scared of how others will perceive me. Since the amputation, my family raised me over-protectively and so it was there when they started buying me only long sleeve shirts and from there I grew up being afraid of what others might think if they ever saw my limb difference along with my scars. This vid has revealed to me that it is my desire to be perceived as a “normal” person but what is normal anyway?? Now I will try to be brave and wear the cool graphic t-shirts I’ve always wanted to wear. Thanks a lot and shout out to Nietzsche
I recommend the podcast 99% invisible, the episode called "The Lows of High Tech" (July 27) which covered exactly this. Like, exactly, limb difference and everything. I have a different disability and I did learn to ignore what others think.
@@Kevin-rf5zh To ignore what others think is to rather ignore what you think others think. Is to be courageous to the possibility of that what you thought is going to influence your interactions. Pretty Courageous, if you ask me But, question time, doesn´t it feel somewhat empty ? Ya know?, to not have that limb?
WOW. I was honestly looking forward to getting a myo-electric prosthesis similar to hers but resorted to a body-powered because I found it more applicable to my needs (I study chemistry). I’m glad you mentioned that podcast because I was seriously having doubts and was thinking that vanity was more important than practicality.
I think he was just being nice. He was just politely brushing aside his feelings because they are an obstacle. Your feelings are neither valid or invalid, they are just the result of your desires and understanding. This video could easily be called, your "feelings are your own worse enemy." To let feelings entirely dictate your actions is like letting a horse decide where you should go instead of you. If your just a bundle of feelings, then you will end up as an animal, another person in the crowd who won't think for themselves. One of your most primal desires is to survive and going along with everybody is one of the easiest ways to do that. But animals just survive. You are a human and as such, you may have greater desires than merely survival. Consider the student acrobat. What animal would willing do acrobat stunts for entertainment? And don't say monkey... no monkey is going train himself or do great acts like a professional acrobat would, because it takes actual training and work to be good at it. So ask yourself this question, do you want to be an animal or the best human you can be?
@@Jimraynor45 I dont think he was being nice but I think its more about the fact that ppl sometimes have the worst feelings and based on those feelings, they freak out and torture themselves by thinking that these feelings define who they are and just want them gone cause it generates a whole other feeling of "feeling bad" ab whatchu experiencing. For example I have OCD, and first time i experienced intrusive thoughts, I had no idea what the fuck was going on and I couldnt bring myself to even talk to someone about that. But here's the thing, this really goes hand in hand with what you're saying because if you act based on these intrusive desires/thoughts or even feelings then definitely, youd be nothing but a robot or live life based on them and not with your brain. But that doesnt mean that these thoughts/desires/feelings aint valid, they are, but they're not you and you shouldnt judge yourself based on that. For example meditation is the perfect example for this; when you notice a thought arising, simply notice it and return back to your breathing. Noticing it equals that you acknowledge its valid but its not you.
This is great, thank you for this. Growing up in an Asian household really instilled prioritizing the opinions of elders, family, friends and complete strangers. My whole life I was raised with the idea of income + Status = success. I recently started appointments with a therapist who specializes in Asian upbringings to help undo these thoughts. It’s tough but we are definitely making progress!
@@baaqarnaqi4801 Thanks for the reply! I am trying to be a little more selfish with my side hobbies and passions. Even though I still feel a little guilt with what my family thinks, I am more driven and less apologetic about my intentions. Therapy sessions definitely have helped me be more mindful about what is best for myself while balancing acknowledgment of those around me. I am still learning a lot and putting these habits into practice but my mindset has shifted from a few months ago.
The acrobat example was so relatable! I conquered my fear, quit my day job and started working as a professional magician. At 21 I was earning more than both of my parents combined!! . edit: the way I wrote it made it seem like it was about the money indeed and whoever tried to live out of their passion know that the pressure is huge, everyone telling you "you can't make money with art" etc etc.. so money was a huge thing for my relatives. Working with something you love is incredible, I can't imagine living any other way after that. Give it a try!
Caramba, definitivamente não esperava ver um BR verificado aqui kk, mundo pequeno, enfim, parabéns chefia. Ver comentários desse tipo é muito inspirador xD
Nietzsches work is not simple and it is incredibly nice to have you simplify it in this format where even kids can all understand and relate. Thank you for your great work.
I think this is one of the major issues in western culture. We strive for the respect of the people around us even though they may be nothing like us. This is a sort of conformity that stifles the individuals character, twisting and warping them into a less happy productive good person. It’s also very difficult being your own person. You have to be very aware of who you are and courageous enough to be that person, and constantly run the risk of being out of balance and becoming someone no one respects
Try eastern culture, you'll easily see how individualistic the west is, especially when you're in New York, you'll see the very definition of individualism. Crowded place but it seems people are far away from each other.
@@gamer-ni5kl It's worst in the east, that's why South Korea has the highest rate of suicide because of Social pressures. The west is more liberal and progressive because such philosophies and social constructs came from the west in the first place, while in the east it's more conservative and traditionalist.
This is a wonderful interpretation of this idea. It's interesting that the barrier for most people to actualize this way of thinking is the ability to change your mind once new information is presented in "contact". Having the ability to be flexible with your understanding of the world, I think, is a key attribute to living your best life. Knowing that you do not know it all.
@@zhinaamini5941 I am sure you will do great. I wish you the best of luck! If you need any advice, I am sure the community will be glad to help, including me.
Awesome! I'm interviewing with my dream company after years of battling my way through my engineering degree and almost not making it. Never give up, never surrender!
When you have the ability to overcome yourself time over time that mean you'll grow and evolve faster at any skills cattegories whether it's social,attitude,focus,calm,etcetra Problem:it's hard to applied
Man I've really got to work hard on improving myself. It's only now, in my later years I realise how much of my life has been spent in the comfort zone, which has been nice, but has really stunted my growth and held me back. Now that comfort zone has gone and I have the opportunity to follow my heart, I'm finding it a real challenge. Every day is a struggle to overcome fear and excuses why I shouldn't do it. Not to mention the government and society pressuring me into being part of their system and forgetting about my dreams.
Merp- this is somewhat true to an extent but also is an easy way to actually dismiss problematic and abusive behavior by other people. I have a boss who loves telling everyone to “change their mindset and thoughts” when he is the most toxic and nasty person ever. He’ll berate you and humiliate you, then tell you “well maybe you just need to change your mindset.” He thinks abusive behavior is a justified because it teaches you to be stronger.
it’s like someone telling you to stop bringing up the past when you hold them accountable just so they don’t have to apologize or change their behavior
Hear my brothers, hear the voice of the healthy body: a more honest and purer voice is this. More honestly and more purely speaks the healthy body, the perfect and perpendicular body, and it speaks of the meaning of the earth. Thus spoke Zarathustra.
@@holyromanracist5759 Interesting! couldn't do both at the same time, but doing one for longer periods of time will diminish your ability to excel in the other
My issue with this take is that thoughts arise from desires. For example, if I’m on a bridge and think about what would happen if I throw my expensive sell phone away down the long drop, I don’t necessarily “want” to throw my phone into the abyss. I believe thoughts come from our mind, and understanding how one’s mind operates if much more useful than understanding desires. Everyone ticks in a different way based on how they grew up and surrounding circumstance. Therefore understanding desires is not enough, where do those desires COME from, and why? That is where you understand how your mind is structured which is informed on how one developed. Loved the video, really made me think.
the lack of money problem for artists is not so easily solved. For every successful artist, there are hundreds if not thousands who couldn't make it, even after giving everything to achieve their dreams. The reality is, society only values the cream of the crop in artistic and creative endeavors.
Well if you're the real deal you'll be able to develop a niche/a style original and specific enough that everyone who likes it will be able to obtain it from you and you only. If you simply like to draw occasionally or to cover other artists songs then it's maybe for the best to keep it just as a hobby and instead invest the majority of your time in some sort of work where you're able to constantly contribute and create value. Eg my earnings from my art as well as my style increased drastically since I became a janitor. Why? Because I removed the desire and the fear out of the way and I'm able to create with full freedom without thinking what if people don't like my next thing.
It's simple not easy. Figure out the value you provide and stick with it. Not everyone lasts long enough to come to this conclusion. Don't make excuses for yourself if you want to live as an artist. It's possible: YOU have to be brave enough to figure it out.
If only life was this simple. Fear doesn't stem from desire. Trauma and generational trauma and thoughts/fears about the world are etched on your bodymind in your formative years, when your own cognition is very primal. You can't simply talk your way out of it. It requires much, much more than that.
It stems from your Thought Process - Thinking. And yes, for the most people struggling at one fear or another, they were conditioned into it. The method for breaking it is still not fully established. Facing it, however, is the seemingly counter intuitive but effective way to do it.
Doesn't that go back to your understanding of the world and your contact with reality? Which he said proceeds your thoughts and heavily influences all those later things including fear?
Nietzche served as a medical orderly in a war and saw/dealt with the craziest shit imagineable. He did drugs and fucked prostitutes about it but much of his writings are about dealing with trauma. Overcoming that fear and trying to find a purpose was a battle he fought his whole life. He definitely didnt say its an easy battle to win but recognizing its an internal personal struggle with yourself is a good starting point if you want to find some kind of peace.
If fear stems from desire couldn’t one easily say that those who have suffered from Trauma have gained desire to be free from it? Maybe then trauma survivors have more desire than others. They desire to be safe more than others. Recognizing less worry about safety is warranted would make one feel safer. I think this is accordance with Nietzsche’s proposed solution. Also, talking your way out of it is not what’s being proposed; it’s more understanding your way out it. The 2nd one is a lot harder than the first.
My irony I'm an illustration artist and thought my was never good but watching this I just saw you use illustrations, similar to what I create Loved your work.
@eric Spencer take it from me you can be I thought I will never be an artist, but just in a year now I can draw design and basically say that even if drawing simple things I'm an artist.
Part of the reason we conform is because the economy demands it of us. The video notes that the student is afraid of not making any money and having to live on the streets, but it doesn't offer any real solutions to that fear. I don't know how much trapeze artists make but there's a reason there aren't that many: the demand is not that high. Poverty is a valid fear; not everyone is able to make a living following their dream, and in the US at least we have no safety net for people who "fail." (Most often the safety net for creative people is their families, therefore the pressure to choose a "normal" career path.) The ideal would be for everyone to follow their dreams, but many of us literally cannot do so without risking our lives.
Also a question, have you found any philosopher which talks about absolute freedom like Krishnamurti ? Would be helpful if there exists another philosopher just to better understand, coz Krishnamurti's thoughts are somewhat unique
There is heavy synchronicity in this video! Truly a great philosopher, you can even see some Buddhist themes in releasing desire. He even takes it a step further and challenges the Buddhist ideals of having no desires, being itself a desire. Its no wonder humanity took 2 centuries to fully appreciate Neitzche's writing
Did Nietzsche actually talk about this chain of contact understanding desire thought and fear or is it just his quote about being your own worst enemy?
Hey I simply want to say thank you for making this one (and the others, too). I've been feeling like I'm in a limbo and afraid of making a decision, fearing that I will fail etc. if doing the opposite of what others had advised me. But your channel recommendation came in the right time. I also started learning Philosophy from February this year, and it has been very helpful for me to get through the darkest days. Thank you & bless you! :)
I completely agree with you backtracing of stimuli and solving them, ultimately we reach a point where things change when we get in contact with noticed knowledge, that's why if we read a philosophical book, the unnoticed thing becomes noticed and then understanding of surrounding then desire then thought then stimuli, the best way is to question your fear and if things are not in control then accept it and take responsibility on what's in your control. I wish you all have a great life and freedom of thought next target 10 million. If you want to read a philosophical book then I'll recommend Seven "Spiritual Laws Of Sucess". Regards Pratham.
You know I usually will watch videos like this once and take what I can from it and move on. I watched this video twice because it felt so applicable to my current situation. I’m gonna try to watch this video once a day to remind myself that I need to respect myself to be happy. Thank you ❤️
I discovered your channel yesterday and I was just mesmerised by its content. At the same time, I had this big emotion when realising that your words describe my thought and that I'm not alone on the rail of seeking truth by logic.
This is just incredible content, well crafted leaving the listener with clarity. Love the use of dialogue. Thank you. “Desires fall away on their own through understanding”
Very good. I needed to hear this. Majority of people doesn't understand my way of thinking and I am always in dilemma whether there is something wrong with me or them. Now, I need not care about their thoughts as Understanding or Interpretation of the world is different for all and we shouldn't force to change our/others understanding. Thanks Again!!
The way you have put together this conversation is just fantastic. It just keeps building from one thought to another, and everything makes sense. Brilliant stuff. I only have one question. "If something is a necessity for you, you better _believe_ it will be a necessity for someone else too..." That seems to be the only weak link. What if that belief is wrong and the stakes are high?
This video literally led me to a break through in my life. It helped me get to a realization and everything is starting to connect. Thank you so much and thank God for putting this video in my path.❤
According to Nietzsche, Stoicism teaches the philosopher to escape from life into commerce with the Stoa, suppressing ones passions and will-to-power. Stoicism is therefore a life-denying philosophy using reason as a weapon against the realities of being alive.
Reminds me of Osho vs Buddhism, with buddhists detaching from/rejecting desires but being left in a state of coldness. It's always been my personal pov too. There's one phrase that I found perfectly expressed this: detachment is not that you should own nothing, but that nothing should own you. It's not about rejecting desires or anything worldly and materialistic, it's about enjoying them from a place of no-mind/no-ego where there's no identification with said things, therefore no hope nor expectation, no compulsion nor urge to control and no fear, only will to experience and share.
Thankyou for this. Since past week, I've been feeling as if I'm subconsciously sabotaging myself, letting go opportunities and time. I felt a turmoil within me and then this came to my feed. it's true I have fears, fear of failure and that is stopping me from taking actions. I want to change my present conditions to something way better than I'm right now, and I think I'm myself resisting the change. I needed this. Thankyou💖
Bro I have been having depressing thoughts from the past few days.........this video got recommended to me at the perfect timing.......And now I dont freaking care about the future ..... whatever will happen ,we will see it then and there........✊
Wow. That brought tears as well as goosebumps. An astute observation on the source of fear and obstacles. Another offshoot thought I got from this is, yes indeed our understanding changes as gain more contact and experience life. But does that change us continuously? If so how to be certain about ourselves?
Speaking for myself only. I'm always trying to change into the best version of myself. Others I've seen have no appetite for knowledge , growth and self improvement. They believe they are perfect as God's and it's the world that's causing all their problem s. Twenty years ago I thought the later . Now I'm like yeah it's probably me and the world that needs to improve. GOD BLESS.
Actually, fear of being judged by society and not making a living is deeply rooted in our primitive brains. It isn't just a "thought". I don't think this dialogue can help anybody overcome that fear for real, it may not ever completely go away. I think it's better to follow our dreams in spite of our fears, and to work on accepting and loving ourselves at the feeling level, which runs deeper than our thoughts. And, when you are connected with what you truly love doing, you are fearless!
Great Video Man your work is elegant and I wish more would watch and Internalize your work. Don't give up keep on creating for those who do not live in a philosophical mindset
Actually you are not eliminating your fears; you are changing them. In your story, the guy went from being afraid of not living the life the people around him want him to live, to being afraid of not living the life that he wants to live. Still a great video! Thanks for everything!!
Funny, I end up on the street while pursuing music. When I had a 3 out of six string left on my instrument and no money nor food and friends wanted to call cops cause I was getting to comfortable couchsurfing , I thought that I was selling a value : Beauty , esthetics , good mood and that I should let of the fear or what others will think. Author , spend tree days on empty stomach during a hot summer day performing art and having buddies throwing you on the streets , then council. Real life experience might be a quite different then reading a book.
You do know who Nietzsche is though, right ? And like the person I said above me, there is risk reward factored into this. Not everyone wants to hear everybody’s music; there is a competence hierarchy, you see
Our minds aren't built to give approval or even encourage us. The day we were born we are already in trouble. The human condition is destructive and critically abrupt. So we have to win the argument between the voice of reason and the voice of chaos. Which ever one we listen to it becomes our master and teacher. Most days I can convince myself to move forward and continue on a path that will be beneficial and most days I wanna just settle for the less of me because it easier and way more acceptable. The greatest thing we can do is discoverer self- awareness and the fire to change then we can watch our footing so we don't trip and break our spirit.
Great video, thank you! This is somehow how I've been living my life. Want to do something? Go try it and see for myself. Sadly after many years I did not succeed the way I hoped for and ultimately chose to do something else. Was it a total waste of time? Maybe to people around me, but not me. I gained a lot of valuable experiences and knowledge that those who thought I was not working or not doing real work could not and would not have achieved. The people I met, though many are flawed as well are all inspiring in their own ways and helped me understand the world and its people better. Through this detour, I've seen a lot more than if I had just settled with whatever back then. Today I decided to go a different path and maybe someday, I'll come back. I feel like I just opened up more doors and understand the door is never closed. I can always go back to where I started and do it better next time. P.s. I hope to return to creating content again :) something that I loved but just not great at haha.
