"A man with outward courage dares to die; a man with inner courage dares to live." - Lau Tzu
That's awesome
Once in a moment of utter despair I attempted suicide-obviously unsuccessfully. I said to myself “I will live the rest of my life as if I died tonight and each day will be a gift”. Who would have thought that such a thing would set me free.
"Obviously unsuccessfully". I laughed a little for the fact that you wanted to specify it 😅😂. Wishing you the best.
@@frei6833 good. I meant for you to laugh. It’s good to bring joy to others.
@@yvonnejackson1696 your comment reminds me of a thing that a character in Taste of Cherry (1997) says when trying to talk the protagonist out of suicide: "I’ll tell you something that happened to me. It was just after I got married. We had all kinds of troubles. I was so fed up with it that I decided to end it all. One morning, before dawn, I put a rope in my car. My mind was made up. I wanted to kill myself. I set off for Mianeh. This was in 1960. I reached the mulberry tree plantations. I stopped there. It was still dark. I threw the rope over a tree but it didn’t catch hold. I tried once, twice, but to no avail. So then I climbed the tree and tied the rope on tight. Then I felt something soft under my hand. Mulberries. Deliciously sweet mulberries. I ate one. It was succulent, then a second and third. Suddenly I noticed that the sun was rising over the mountaintop. What sun, what scenery, what greenery! All of a sudden I heard children going off to school. They stopped to look at me. They asked me to shake the tree. The mulberries fell and they ate. I felt happy. Then I gathered some mulberries to take them home. My wife was still sleeping. When she woke up, she ate mulberries as well. And she enjoyed them too. I had left to kill myself and I came home with mulberries. A mulberry saved my life. A mulberry saved my life. Mr. Badii: You ate mulberries, so did your wife, and everything was fine. Taxidermist: No, it wasn’t like that. But I changed. Afterwards, it was better, but I had, in fact, changed my mind. I felt better. Every man on earth has problems in his life. That’s the way it is. There are so many people on earth. There isn’t one family without problems. I don’t know your problem - otherwise I could explain better. When you go to see a doctor, you tell him where it hurts. [Long pause.] Excuse me, you’re not Turkish, are you? [Mr. Badii shakes head] Here’s a joke. Don’t feel offended. A Turk goes to see a doctor. He tells him: “When I touch my body with my finger, it hurts. When I touch my head, it hurts, my legs, it hurts, my belly, my hand, it hurts.” The doctor examines him and then tells him: “You’re body’s fine, but your finger’s broken!” My dear man, your mind is ill, but there’s nothing wrong with you. Change your outlook. I had left home to kill myself but a mulberry changed me, an ordinary, unimportant mulberry."

When I was young my mother passed away. A few years back I was going through books around the house and found one about love that I didn't recognize. Inside was my mother's maiden name and countless passages she had highlighted. I could feel her beliefs and lessons so clearly, and could hold in my hand the very path she took to them, and eventually passed to me. A few months back I was pondering that I could recall the sound of my mother's voice, but not a single conversation we had. Then I had a dream where I had a conversation with her, knowing full well it was a dream, but relishing it all the same. That morning I woke up and my favorite mug, a mug she had gotten, fell and broke. Despite the loss of my mother, despite the loss of a mug associated with her, despite the loss of memories, what she gave me remains. Even if there is nothing after death, she remains with me in the love she showed me, and hopefully I can keep her alive by passing that same love onward. (Your videos are great, a succinct encapsulation of films and books that explore meaning.)
Beautiful. Sending my love, all the best!
Don't throw away the mug! You can repair it or get it repaired Japanese kintsugi style.
Passing on her love, that's Beautiful 🥲
Absolutely beautiful words. I lost my mom 9 years ago when I was 24 and it still hurts from time to time. I will do what you did and pass her love onward. Thank you for this kind stranger.
@@ayesha8809i think it's a sign from his mother to let her go because she's in a better place now
You know someone once told me that time is a predator that stalks us all our lives But I rather believe that Time is a companion who goes with us on a Journey Reminds us to cherish every moment Because they'll never come again
Beautiful ❤
This is self contradictory. If everything that passes never comes again then nothing is ever happening, just a chain of phantasma that’s ever changing. In this case to cherish the now moment is equivalent to holding onto the now moment in fear of not being able to grasp the next now moment
@@bitkurd Bruh it's a quote from a Star Trek Movie
When I think our time is limited, I become a perfectionist and that stops me from making mistakes and trying things or even getting started.
Interesting. I'm the opposite. I become more productive.
making mistakes and doing whatever stupid plans ones have is the way though
A friend has passed this morning and this came to me. Thank you❤🙏🏽
i wish you the best, i'm very sorry for your loss. I think it would be wise to write your feelings down, it can help you in the longrun. much love!
I'm very sorry for your loss. One can only hope to be a pillar of support in times like this, I'm very much glad that you have found the video meaningful.
My condolences
@@ramsesmensink4080Thank you❤🙏🏽
@@vishnu2407Thank you ❤🙏🏽
This video struck me hard in the midst of a busy day. I had been doing things mindlessly out of a routine and was worn out each day with an ache in my heart that something was missing. This video gave me the pause I needed to look at what I'm doing differently. Thank you.
Same here. We are all connected in some way. I wish you well and health in your journey.
Great video. If I make a suggestion that will help you grow your following and perhaps turn this into a full time career, if you so wish, your words and images are great. To captivate the audience even more you need only add more melody to your narration when you speak. Avoid monotone, add emotion/ changing tone to the words purely for making the words more memorable and people will devour all your videos. ❤
Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it!
That is great feedback. Unfortunately as English is not your native tongue it might be a bit of a challenge as it can be a challenge for us native speakers. If I can read anything for you just let me know. When you are reading someone else's writing maybe slow it down to work on your pronunciation and pausing at the end of sentences.
I actually prefer their monotone voice. It fits the subject matter.
@@sakibahmed2063 I don't doubt it. But for engagement, more followers, this would make a big difference for all the time he is putting into making the videos
Absolutely captivating video essay but I would advise to slow the narration down, revel in the words. That would be my only criticism as this video and it's choice of modality is captivating. Well done.
Your passion as you were reading Dostoyevski's letter! Wonderful. Last year I spent two months living in a Vipassana meditation centre, intensely meditating 10 hours for 10 days and then stayed to serve and practice at least three hours of sitting still every day. I felt I had many near-death-experiences. I felt I could die when I closed my eyes. Into nothingness. I understood with direct experience I could die any moment. And as all these sensations, thoughts, emotions and everything around me arises, stays for a while and passes away, so will I. Coming out of those two months I feel as if given my life back. But coming back to a busy society, where everyone acts like they're not going to die, is not easy. But at least... I am more alive.
would you recommend the experience? i’m considering a similar path 🙏🏻
The end part of this comment resonates with me. I have been more steadfast in my meditation practice, but somedays I feel so disconnected from people around me - sometimes pain that they don't see the truth.
@@ihmintz yeah I would recommend it to anyone! go with an open mind, read the code of conduct carefully and surrender fully to the experience … but afterwards don’t get too attached to any of it and remember that it’s not the only truth :D
@@ronjakatariina Thanks Ronja - it's certainly interesting to seek spiritual paths, and then to recognize that, as Wittgenstein points out, that all propositions are equal, given that they are logical. The paths to healing and acceptance - or actualization - are ultimately what will help justify our (my) existence. Of course, some are justified in not seeking anything more, for this is an equally valid path
@@GuacamoleyNacho I’m not practicing every day, I feel it was taking me somewhere I was not yet ready to go… and I think you already know yourself the answer to your question ;)
this video is very stoic, and that is the tragedy of the modern age. Death is no longer in relation to life, but rather an idea, a concept alienated from one’s personal material conditions and political/sociological existence. We are to be stoics, to be mere viewers of our lives, objective viewers with no stakes in life. This is the tragedy of the modern age, or I guess the youtube landscape. It is the most devastating and existential tragedy I have ever experienced so far
It's been some time since I've revisited some of my stoic presuppositions, thanks for the reminder, will think this through again.
As a Muslim, I understand that death is an inevitable reality. However, I aspire to make my life meaningful by leaving a lasting impact. By striving to contribute to something greater than myself and the people around me
Allah hu akbar💪
I can understand you want to spread the deen of islam in the world by sharing the message of allah to people Life is a test for you Death is your goal so you can go to jannah and meet allah and muhammad Hmm i am ex muslim
Well said squidward
I’ve been fighting cancer since I was 15 years old (I’m almost 21 now) and every new day it’s just a precious gift, I’ve learned to value every little moment and actually do the things I love, in this span of time I’ve learnt bass, guitar and piano. I’ve also read a lot of books and right now I’m writing a book. I want to travel and I want to live like never before. I don’t care if I die tomorrow because I know I’ve given my all
Great video. Listened to it as I woke up at 4 in the morning before my run. I almost gave up running today because i struggle with waking this early but we only have one life to lead and i wont squander this moment. Peace.
Gurgieff said something like that it's better to die trying to wake up then to live asleep.
Live to die or die to live.
@@beamshooter that's so nicely said.
This video made me cry
What often happens, too, is that paradoxically life is so distracting you forget you are living, and often with this, living *unlived.* And this happens partly because of not confronting the world, but also because of how the world makes us forget, the political and social forces that incentivizes us to churn into a cog or think one-notedly about small but ever anxiety inducing problems. What are school exams compared to artistic goals? What is being late for work compared to sitting on a sidewalk? We should live fully, be fully, but whilst not completely damning ourselves for these faults, nor damning others for theirs.
Beautifully said
You did an amazing job. Saved this in my favorites to revisit often Thank you
I am so glad I found this channel tonight, on 3/1/24. I find that I myself think about the contents discussed in the video more often than not. I love the feeling these videos have brought me. Good on you my friend for putting these together, your future is bright.
Not a good way to tell a child this .
I have no dread of meeting my Creator someday and to live in his bossom for eternity but as I'm still living here on earth, I must strive to live like I breathe.
Live for Him as He died for us.
I wanna be the creator.
@@ll2323 may you find GOD who loves you the most and find someone you will love like He do.
Nice video man, not only the things that are said in it, but the way in which it is done, really allows you to approach this topic from different perspectives.
I rarely ever comment on videos, but i want to say that you provide value to the community on youtube. I dont use any social except youtube, but i was kinda sick of scrolling mindlessly. Then I came across your video of The Seventh Seal and that was amazing. This morning i woke up at 5am to study maths, and as the sun came up i finished math and i watched this video. Expecting more from you. This video was amazing. My subscription was well earned. Keep it up!
Age of information is finally turning into something useful, instead of distracting
keep uploading brother you have a great content with greater potential
i liked the mixing of movie scenes in the video. first video i've seen of yours and it's good. i'll come for more
For people who think “We all live to die anyway” to justify suicidal thoughts, keep in mind that you could’ve been born as any animal other than a human. Which is probably a worse situation than being a human. Be thankful that you were born a human and during this timeline. Enjoy food, videos, music, games. Just enjoy anything while you’re still alive fuck what others think
You have no idea how much I needed this video! The alghoritm has truly blessed me 😁
your videos keep getting better! Really enjoyed this.
This is fantastic! Thank you so much for sharing your work. 🌼
bravo , KZhead algorithms can surprise me from time to time keep uploading great content
The footages, quotes and stories are well put - truly exceptional. It brought me to tears, it felt like I'm awaken to a call - to live. You are such a mastermind. At 12-minute-23-second video that reshapes my life. Thank you for creating this video.
Amazing video my friend, this got me thinking about lots of things that I need to correct in my life.
Life is a gift
Love your content brother❤️
Beautiful. Thank you...
The anxiety of death is part of life. Trying to "cure," the anxiety of it leads to a life of coming up short, as you will never remove the anxiety of death. The question is how to use it. Do you ignore the anxiety and pretend it doesn't exist? Do you accept and then dwell on it, nearly missing the moments of living for fear of dying? Or do you use that anxiety as a philosophical stimulant to do more in your own everyday life, whatever that means to you.
I do not agree. I believe it is very reasonably possible to remove the anxiety of death. Many do. Many people are scared of the pain associated with dying. Many people don't want to leave because of the people they would be leaving behind and how it would hurt them. Ties to the world. But many people have few enough ties that it's not a source of anxiety. I'm not saying they would just be ok with being shot. But they wouldn't be scared of the death. They would be scared of the pain.
How would you explain me having practically no fear of death?
Fantastic video. Thank you.
This was so touching that it hurt me.. amazing job
this is one of the most thought provoking and beautiful videos i have ever seen on youtube
Loving your videos from Japan! Keep believing in what u r doing and keep going! I’m looking forward for more of your beautiful work 🙌
Time really is a strange thing that exist for infinity
well written, researched and delivered!! i am moved!
you have a lovely voice, very pleasant to listen to
Thanks for reminding man❤
Honestly speaking the intro was really amazing.
Well done on this video. Excellently produced.
Idk what exactly to say but pretend I said something really encouraging because your videos are great
what a beautiful video, so excited that I found your channel
really enjoy your vids
Very interesting profound Thank you
I am grateful for the video! Thank you!
Amazing video, it is really well written, especially with english not being your first language.. Keep going man!!
I could be going to jail for awhile in a few days. This video found me at the right time
What happened if you don’t mind me asking?
I must say that you're good at this. Good job
Such an amazing piece of art was this video
I loved the video. Thank you for your perspective and advice! ❤
Third time watching the video now. Keep creating more videos like this!
As I grow older I find it more and more bewildering that I'll just vanish from existence like a speck of dust blown away by the wind. Each conscious sensation takes on a new meaning when you're aware of your approaching death. I wish I had the consolation of an afterlife.
Bill Hicks will give you the consolation now: “Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Heres Tom with the Weather.” ― Bill Hicks
a sense of urgency, the virtue to cultivate, to overcome the pettiness and being mindful about the life itself.
This video was very well done. Subscribed!
Thank you so much for creating this beautiful video in todays world..
Really wonderful work here
Excellent footage of films
Really it’s very different and it’s something some people reject to think about Death as end of our journey
Great video! I am excited to see your following grow
The montage was beautiful
10 Videos in and already a great KZheadr
Few days ago, i found my fathers journal from when he was 20 (now he is 54) and he had written about how one day he will be old and his kids will be the age he is now and he quotes about how he has got only this one life, and he will make the most of it because when he dies, he must not be terrorized of it but happy and content. Now i am his age and i have the same thoughts. The realisation that you dont have forever takes away lot of worries.
Love your style. Interesting. Love it. Don’t know where you live but meeting you can be considered that i am lucky.
Just found the channel great video!
Our time is limited and we must make the most of it.
Such a refreshing and great type of video! That intro was close to perfection!it dissolved me into the video! Omly ome suggestin for you tho,if you want,you could work on your narration,i like the monotone and soothing style youve got going,if you add more clarity to words and ooze calmness out of your words,you will grow your potential so much!
This is art.
We should be relieved that this is temporary. Do you guys not experience the same thing I do? Life is constant suffering. Even if you are wealthy. The struggle is internal, thus the human condition.
Someone who really helped me come to terms to death in a way was Albert Camu. Discovering absurdism (though if i'm right he didn't consider himself an absurdist and later regretted referring to himself as one) was one of the most relieving ideas i have ever come across while i like existentialism and coming to our own meaning of life, I never thought there was meaning even when i younger though i couldn't articulate it i felt life was 'pointless' and that kind of was the point. This isn't depressing for me, i find this freeing. "what counts is not the best living but the most living" is my favourite quote.
Man, I don't know if you read all the comment, but I'm really interested in reading Kierkegaard. Where do you think would be a great starting point? Beautiful video. This is the second one i see, and I really love the things you present to us.
Start with "Either Or"
@@EscapeMediocrity_MOHthank you
Beautiful
Ive never really been in love with this place. Or the people here.
why?
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 John 2:15
It's not easy to have real love for the things here considering the events taking place. And that also shouldnt be your goal .. your only subjective goal could be the appreaciation of the present moment youre living. Forget about the world and the people and seek for what you really could love here... look at the trees while your surrounded by them and listen to nature... if you're not around some woods, move somewhere where you find some.. they're easy to appreaciate, real peace. And just start doing what you want, it shouldn't harm others, but don't give a shit about anyone else judging what you wanna do. "A man sees in the world, what he carries in his heart"
best video ive seen in a while
This can change lives.

One of the best ever videos on KZhead, don't change anything, keep the originality that defines you!  
So due to the ever omnipresent fact of death, we can choose to remove the inessentials of life to return back from our alienation from it through our distractions by the contingencies unimportant to what is our essential being itself. Not just merely being, or merely existing, but essence is what we need to acquire as the purpose of our life, socially and metaphysically, through fulfillment of cherishing the important. Death is absolute, and so our life must be absolute within death. Hegel had a very close near death experience, so I am trying to question what you said in a Hegelian way now. The absolute was at first just mere existence and being in general, then it moved to trying to reach our subjective essence as beings instead of just the finite portion of our lives. Cognition only saw being but now cognition must know essence existentially. This consists of a movement of Spirit as it changes perspectives of life and death from one perspective to another, giving it a metaphysical lust for life. The movement from determinate existence, or just determinate being to pure being, as Wittgenstein insists with the pure wholeness of time in the one self-contained life outside of death. We have purified our distractions, our non-essential worries and claims of life, purified the immediate determinate being which ignores the fate of death by seeming to be repetitive in its daily routine implying its eternal nature and obscuring the infinite (which is death) from the finite (the basic determinate being day-to-day). Paragraph 810 of the Science if Logic - - ''If, therefore, the absolute was at first defined as being, now it is defined as essence. Cognition certainly cannot stop short at manifold determinate being, not yet at being, pure being; the reflection that immediately forces itself on one is that this pure being, the negation of everything finite, presupposes an internalisation, a recollection [Erinnerung] and movement which has purified immediate, determinate being to pure being.'' This is finally when we cognize the true essence of life outside its determinate and finite daily rituals. Therefore changing our being, like Heidegger said is the primary core of existence. All philosophers, by their very nature, are given a desire from birth and through life, to attempt to define and discover such a concept, so as to leave behind the finite to reach the absolute meaning of life itself, but is it possible? The second part of the same paragraph continues; ''Being is accordingly determined as essence, as a being in which everything determinate and finite is negated.'' Then we come to a similar theorem as Wittgenstein's but in Hegel's language, he calls this pure wholeness of existence outside of the experience of death ''the indeterminate, simple unity from which what is determinate has been eliminated in an external manner''; and essence is defined as ''the sum total of all realities''. ''the determinate element itself was external to this unity and, after this elimination, still remains confronting it for it has not been sublated in itself but only relatively, only in relation to this unity. We have already mentioned that if essence is defined as the sum total of all realities, then these realities are likewise subordinate to the nature of the determinateness and to the abstractive reflection and this sum total reduces to empty oneness.'' We see, Hegel climbed the highest mountains of spirit to the human mind. He went through what all philosophers going past to future, metaphysically required as the way to negate the finite shell of outward existence and reach its internal core properly. He adopted and he thought through and tarried out all these metaphysical positions himself, and in his writings, you can read this frustration, this restlessness, that each metaphysical position, in some way is inconsistent, fails to fully grasp the absolute meaning of life, and therefore ''Cognition certainly cannot stop'' at these junctures. ''Essence is in this way, only a product, an artefact'' is his simple conclusion of the paragraph. First it was from being to essence, as though in being there were merely artefacts, merely products to be transcended in their negation toward purity of being, to then find itself in this purity of being as just another product, of artefact, of the abstractive reflective will of cognition, an internalisation that is actually being posited as external, but is actually only seemingly external to its essence from the perspective of the dividing and negating side of subjectivity's separation of subject from object.
I'm 27, I haven't lived a day in my life. I spent 90% of my life in fear and anxiety, I don't think I've ever experienced true happiness.
I'm 27 too, spent most of it in fear and anxiety but got so fed up with the ever-shrinking cage of comfort around me that I pushed myself into some of the most haunting adventures of my life, I stared death in the face many times and every time that I survive the world gets bigger, freer and more exciting. Life is a game that we're destined to lose - plunge into the depths of your fears and you will experience the heights of your emotions, both high and low. I think that we shouldn't settle for a life half-lived.
were gonna live forever
In order for life to exist there must be death, there is no darkness without the existence of light.
dope
If death vanishes everything then we will not feel anything anymore about anyone. If things remain then we people didnt die. Now it doesn't make any sense to fear death.
Thank God, can't wait till it's over
