When I was little, everybody always asked me what I wanted to do when I grow up.

I just turned 74 years old last week.

Unfortunately I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up.

But everyone who asked me that question is dead now.

So I guess I don't really need to have an answer now.

Beautiful as always, Ben. Life is not a problem to be solved, rather a mystery to be lived

[RoboJules]

The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience.

"The right decision is one that is right emotionally and rationally... It speaks to that inner goodness. It takes years of mistakes. Be patient listen close and don't be to hard on yourself. Nobody really knows what they're doing anyways."

It's 2am and I'm drinking millers watching Sisyphus. What do YOU think I'm doing with my life?

[yaboimagnus]

Why does this man upload everytime I AM IN DIRE NEED OF ADVICE?

[zeedon]

Wait, my life consists of the decisions I make? Me? That guy is unreliable.

"Because sometimes these surprises can be good. Holding on too tightly might lead you to missing out." True. The daunting results of living too fearful of risks, too afraid of negative outcomes. I think a lot of people are trained to live life like that though, unfortunately. Not impossible to break the habit, but it can be challenging.

Maa this friggin stickman guy is making me have an existential crisis again

[Aurora-pijr]

I genuinely have no idea anymore, I think im just going progressively more insane by the day

Edit: while still true, hope you are all having a good day, remember to get some sun and stop doomscrolling

None of us actually decided to start living in the first place, we never wanted to be here in the first place, we're here just because of the decision of someone else who brought us here.

I was just watching a bunch of your videos
It seems like you have a video for every situation in life
Pretty cool

[Joe-svwz]

Watching this soon after making a pretty life changing decision to change my uni course to better align with my principles and my heart... thank you for this

I feel like allowing yourself to feel in the moment, and actually respond like a normal human being is harder nowadays. We see so much in the media, and I feel like it's one bad thing and then the next. You have very little to no time to process. It's a constant cycle that keeps you exhausted. This is of course not an excuse to be ignorant or anything, but I feel as though we must care about everything all the time, even if we don't have the emotional capacity to do so. I think there's a balance between being passionate for a cause, and emotionally exhausting yourself to the point where it's harmful.

Your videos always put me in a state of awe, without fail it always surprises me how beautifully crafted your videos are. Thank you for putting so much effort into these

"never be too hard on yourself, nobody really knows what they're doing anyways." man you always post just when needed

[Chrisoric]

The sponsored segments in your video feel so alienating because they kind of act as an reminder of the society we are living.

While the rest of your videos always feel like an escape from all the stress and pressure to give a moment of peace.

Thanks for that Sisyphus
