Starving for Beauty | Jordan B Peterson 

Absolutely incredible story of the young man, who was suicidal... well done to him!

Jordan Peterson has helped a lot of people in different ways. Somebody found meaning, somebody disipline, others stoped being suicidal... It is worth living the life if you have helped even one person. But he is helping an entire generation. Long life to Jordan Peterson! ❤

Truth and the Beauty of Christ go hand in hand. 🌺

The absolute importance of beauty . It's not just about aesthetic beauty but about the beauty of thought , of kindness , of ideas , of intentions and so much more . Can in compass the love to and from others and love for yourself as well as nature and everyday life .

An hour and a half a day of JBP? Jordan those are rookie numbers ;)

Truth the antidote to suffering 100% 👍👍👍👍👏

And to think that even beauty has its limits. When he was young, Michelangelo said that the humanists in the court of his beloved Medici, "blended the teachings of Plato and Dante into the framework of the Bible.” This inspired him in his sculpture and painting. “Ideal beauty leads to God," he wrote. Michelangelo never gave up his artistic pursuits. But in his old age and failing health, he wrote something different: "Beauty was my idol then. Now faith alone guides me.”

There is actual being, potential being, and ideal being. Beauty is an outward sign of an inward good.

“One word, Ma'am," he said, coming back from the fire; limping, because of the pain. "One word. All you've been saying is quite right, I shouldn't wonder. I'm a chap who always liked to know the worst and then put the best face I can on it. So I won't deny any of what you said. But there's one more thing to be said, even so. Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things-trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that's a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We're just babies making up a game, if you're right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world which licks your real world hollow. That's why I'm going to stand by the play world. I'm on Aslan's side even if there isn't any Aslan to lead it. I'm going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn't any Narnia. So, thanking you kindly for our supper, if these two gentlemen and the young lady are ready, we're leaving your court at once and setting out in the dark to spend our lives looking for Overland. Not that our lives will be very long, I should think; but that's a small loss if the world's as dull a place as you say.” ― C.S. Lewis, The Silver Chair

I've felt the 'awe of the moment' in the Musikverein in Vienna or the Gewandhaus and Thomaskirche in Leipzig.

What a miraculous story

I'm often the odd ball. I find beauty almost everywhere.

Ya know who Jordan Peterson reminds me of? Joseph Campbel. Power of Myth. Neither are real Christians, yet both see the value of the religious mode of thinking, and of community and the religious way of seeing the world. Fascinating.

Crucial and cross... damn

Depending on one stream of income had never made any millionaire and earning check don't put you on forbes

Zbigniew Herbert wrote a poem "The power of taste" that described that what they truly hated in the communism was ugliness :)

My grand-grandparents had slaughterhouses before WWII, there old buildings still exist. They were beautiful, with ornamements, round, a bit decorated windows. Really, the slaughterhouses are more beautiful than the flat I have to live in now. It didn't even cross the mind of my grand-grandparents to build something ugly, they would call this idea crazy.

What am I to say mr Peterson to those people who - in my own family - not only have got no interests for themselves in anything (beside politics and work) but also think about this "hunger" of mine as only kind of wasting time on unproductible things (for example my interest in myths, philosophy, music) which dont earn them money or give them more work for money?

Dante’s Commedia as Medieval Beauty!

"The ethics of beauty"by Timothy patitsas. This is the missing link

It would be just polite to mention the interlocutor's name in the description or in the title - amid all the self-promotion.

Beauty is an antidote to suffering.

Who is the guy talking? Thank goodness he is Christian director and actress yes

The endless void of nothing indeed

Crucial: crucible: cross Jesus is the crucial crucible for the cross…. Being the Divine Embodiment of Love. Jesus Christ was once a man, always Divine. 1 John 5:7-8 King James Version 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

Reminds me of Peterson's comment from some other video, can't remember which, but along the lines that beauty strikes us with awe, because it resonates with our desire for the ideal - how things could be. It only makes sense that churches, a place of worship for God who represents the perfect ideal, should strive to present that beauty as well. I know the Catholic church often gets a bad rap for how they spend money, but there's something also admirable in the effort they go to create buildings that reflect God's beauty and perfection. I still lean toward modesty, helping the poor, and living as the early church did is a better goal, but I will give credit where it's due.

Love, truth, beauty or in that sense, God. One man cannot grasp it fully. We will never understand that completely, Jordan. Thanks for all the good that you give to the world.

It’s no accident that crucial and cross are the same thing... Wow. Psychology Philosophy Etymology Neuro science Religion So many tools and approaches to blow my mind

"'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,' - that is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know." - Keats

Seeing JP smile is so good

I'm from Brazil, one thing I like to do is go to google maps and visit cities around the world, every time I do this I became more envy of people living in other countries. Here in my city there's not a single men made beauty place, not a single one, and I live in one of the best cities around here. Astonishes me that there are people who wants to destroy such things.

Nietshce spoke of it in The birth of tragedy tho where I dont remember sadly...
