The good life comes about when one realizes they have everything they need within themself to be content

[juanig]

sisyphus never fails to upload when the crisis starts to hit

[eineperson]

Oh look, its existential crisis o'clock!

[purplehaze]

The existence of Sisyphus 55 implies the existence of Sysiphuses 1-54.

I think I might be living the good life. After well over a decade of depression, I'm finally on the good path.

[Laniccal]

To me, the good life finally happens when we find it within ourselves to be satisfied and content with ourselves and our surroundings. Suffering remains, but one can finally feel free.

[rinker]

Not sure if projection. But somehow the timing of these videos seems to always hit home...

[Pblo-khwi]

I think you really dont know how big of an impact you have one so many peoples lifes. Thank you.

"we tend to preform our life, rather than actually liev them." OH MY GOD

I’ve had what should be on paper a pretty awful summer, but I’ve been feeling oddly happy through it all. This video summed up a lot of the ways I feel, I guess I’m in the good life currently

[minimightycartoonist]

the illusion of sun being there, after the transition at 0:48, even if accidental, is genius

This brings to mind that episode from Spongebob Squarepants where Squidward leaves his home to settle in Squidville where he imagines of having a ''perfect life" the way he always dreamt of, but soon becomes unsatisfied with that as well and finally returns to his older life loathing every aspect of it again. The entire notion of perfect life seems irrational simply because human psychology just wouldn't allow for it. We will get bored and the novelty will wear off eventually, similar to how it played out for Squidward.

Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others. And having no respect he ceases to love. - Fyodor Dostoevsky

Can’t exactly explain how this ties in here, but I’ve lived both ways. Lots of truth in this quote and video. When you live the life you are supposed to, and you live in a moral manner, life exudes with love. Don’t do it because “you’re supposed to” - do it because it’s genuinely the best thing you could do (and expect enormous suffering through the process but stick to it)

a faint-hearted life is the better option out of those from the closing paragraph. It is a good thing to be sensitive to the harmonies as well as the suffering and fears of life. Being empathetic to all aspects of life will open the door to new perspectives and outlooks, which can induce a sense of gratefulness and happiness when examined and appreciated in its fullness.

its hard to live to the good life when parents, adults and society tells you what you should be and what you should do as if I don't have a mind of my own. and I know a lot of others might feel the same but the journey to becoming who you are is a journey worth taking and I will never stop trying no matter how hard it seems or how many set backs I have. If anyone happens to read all this I wish you too never stop trying to live your own good life

[Ingestedbanjo]

The "good" life is so much easier, though. Effort is effortless now that I no longer believe that I /have/ to do or be anything to be content. I can plan trips away for fun, but I can still be perfectly satisfied by the thought that I might never move from this chair. Sure, I needed a certain type of strength to find my way here, but now I need no strength ever again.

This summer, after i finished my exams and was free from the confines of stress of school while i wait for my results, i decided this summer to be an adventure. I threw myself fully into the stream of life and had the courage to open my heart and experience life. The direction i chose was forwards, to explore, to inquire, to find out about life, about myself, and about the people i love. I deeply resonate with this video because this openness has given me a sense of peace and content and the courage to be. Thank you again, Sisyphus, for putting the words to exactly how im feeling

This one was so encouraging to me. I've really gone to the depths and am coming out of the other side. This video describes what life can be at its best. With an open heart and courage... Surrender.
