8:41 “To be curious is to admit that we know little about who we actually are.” This is liberating.

Regarding the last video: It's painful to deal with our past and at times we might have to deal with it our whole lives, but if we stay at the middle point where we're always confronting it, we will never actually accept what has happened to it and learn from it. Just like the victim of a burglary is very likely not going to cry for the rest of their life over the 50€ that were stolen from them, we cannot stay lamenting about what has happened to us forever because we'll end up being an eternal victim, never taking control of our emotions and accepting what has happened to us.

It's a pity that suffering is not distributed equally. Some people get a hell of a lot more suffering than others (due to lifelong bad health for example).

thank you for making this, sisyphus ❤

My mom just got cancer again. Let's see how this suffering fits into my new relational home.
Be well, love yourselves and others, all. ❤

it's amazing how you always push some button that makes me feel fond of life but also sad. Your videos take me back to the feeling I got when I first questioned the point of me living. Much appreciation to you

When suffering comes knocking at your door, let it in, sit with it, tend to it and be a good host. Don’t try to chase it away or run away from it, it would catch hold of you one way or another. Make friends with it and you won’t be taken aback when it visits you next :)

5:23 my philosophy is that, life can be always more painful in all manners of ways and you gotta make peace with the pain you already feel and be grateful it's not worse.

We cannot control the random nature of our experience, but what we can control is how we react to it.

[dekkodude]

your videos are the ones i look forward to the most, yet i’m always momentarily afraid to click on them before watching. so many hard truths. but i leave inspired and with a refreshed feeling every time

[Jajaj]

I ugly cried at 9:06, just thinking about that last line still makes me tear up now

[hunnybadger]

Suffering is the only truly universal human experience...

[captaint]

trauma from feeling rejected and unworthy due to family’s conditional love is something I tend to be struggling with…😒

[Yahboi]

As if I didn’t have enough existential dread in the morning, and then you drop this. Joy.

[Divine_Knowing_]

I love that I can now acknowledge pain and suffering in my life as a learning opportunity. Also I love your videos thank you for all the effort you put into them. You’ve helped show people like me there is hope in this meaningless world

[garfieldbong]

Idk a lot of ppl talk abt these videos making them sad but in a way they’re like comfort, knowing you’re not alone and understanding yourself better

6:13 "he became the parent to himself" crying over this line and consoling myself at the same time, while washing the dishes 🥲
