In India we live life hard; and all my friends are stressed about getting into a certain school, or trying to become rich, and theyre never happy. Today I woke up early, went outside and grabbed chai as the beautiful sun rose. I actually bought a camera the other day so i went around my city taking nice pictures. I still have dreams, but thanks to this video, I wont let them consume me from living in the present. Thanks random guy... you might have changed my life
Yeah when you don't have to worry about you daily life earnings to fill your stomach or build a house then you can live the present and do whatever shit you want.
Main point is that social media has made our minds to think that everyday is needed to be perfect, full of excitement bla bla bla. So, we just think that the simple life is boring and unhappy. It's not true.🤸
Tom’s movie recommendation of Perfect Days has been life changing. I’m obsessed with the books and soundtrack. Such a thoughtful movie!!! It is iconic!!!
bro the timing of this video is so right. I was just feeling nihilistic and pointless about life, but you just gave a completely different meaning to it. I guess its just about the perspective. TYSM Amazing video btw, i subbed
These days living a good life became a wish. Working so hard every single day to reach some little goals. Being distracted by a lot of videos, words and… being stressed by so many unreasonable thoughts. Overthinking as hell and being overwhelmed so easily. Life wasn’t that much hard to live as far as I know and remember. We’re making it hard for ourselves. Comparing any single situation with anything else. But oh, a simple life. Peaceful as the ocean. And when you have a single life you will know yourself better day by day. And the whole life is to know yourself and this whole galaxy and meet your soul. So why not? Thank you so much for the video.
you make quality videos! The actual content of the video, the videography, the voice - it is just *chef's kiss*. I hope I can pay back one day by following through your advices.
This one is so true, you know the moments when we're too busy on something, and then you just pause and look around you, feel the air under your nose, the pressure of us sitting on something or just the feeling of touch. It's so simple yet it felt so nice.
I watched the movie perfect day and i realised that no day can be perfect. We just need to live every moment with gratitude, appreciation and happiness!
Just watched Perfect Days a few weeks ago and loved it. The main character is so content with his "boring" life, and unglamorous job. A mundane, peaceful life is so underrated these days.
thank you for making this video for people who need to hear these. i actually try to do these things and im happy i realized it by myself. because knowing that you can do everything with your ownself and still being happy is hard to believe, but in the end we have to. love yourself, i really appreciate that.
The main thing to enjoy this way of living is enduring the times were you feel empty and maybe even a little depressed. When we endure those times, and don’t reach for fast dopamine spiking things like bad food, social media etc, you become more balanced mentally and neurological. That sets you up for enjoying the small things in life and you’ll realise that it’s far more enjoyable than all those distractions
Crazy this is my situation actually. I’m not into social media unless RUclips or Pinterest and being depressed is both ruining lots of things and making me enjoy the little things. That being said, I feel like I am here for a reason and once i find the purpose, I’ll finally leave it but I still have no clue 😢 it’s been years tho, I maybe need help.
I was just thinking about this the other day. I sit and think sometimes how some people on social media seemingly have like 10 extra hours a day with such complex lives - great video!
Incredible video. I really want more slow mornings like this. I feel like a good morning sets me up for a good day. Yesterday I got up at 6:20 and went for a skate as the foggy sky got lighter. I grabbed a chai late from the cafe around the block, people watched for a few, then skated down this bike path that goes through a marsh. I sat at a bench and watched the cars go by on the freeway bridge that crosses the marsh off in the distance. That just made me feel at peace the whole day. This morning I tried again but was so exhausted (and still am) and couldn’t get out of bed until an hour after my alarm. I’m hoping college next year will bring more time for mornings like these.
damn that sounds like a beautiful morning. I know what you mean though, it's hard to have those good days every day, but I guess the real power is in enjoying even the days where you don't do too much... keep trying at those morning skates though brother, they sound great 🙌
Life is truly about the journey and realizing that everyday we get to simply try to make something better out of it is something to appreciate and not take for granted.
Eventually I can really relate this video with me. Nowdays my life is also really simple but organised also peaceful. Even though I lack a bit of human interaction but still I'm happy both mentally and physically. Loved your content ❤️. Keep it up
Thank you so much friend for this. I kinda needed this. I've been feeling very heavy lately, overwhelmed by worries about the future, past, and present.
Praise the Lord brother ... Thank you for being an inspiration and all the wise advice... May God bless you and your family .... Keep making more videos ..... We need more ❤... Love from India
This is relatable. I am in the journey of improving my life, sometimes it gets too much to the point I am not sure amI doing myself or for someone. Just appreciating my slow life.
I truly believe that the right message finds us at the right time, and this video did just that for me. Thank you, Tom, for reminding me how beautiful life truly is. 'The Perfect Days' has quickly become one of my recent favorites too! Sending much love from India.
This is my favourite movie, Perfect Days. When I saw your video title it kind of transmited the same vibe, and that's what made me open the video. It has a great edition and a great message, and it really vibes with that movie too, thank you for that
This Shows me, that also RUclips Videos Dienst have to be high paced with fast cuts to be watched. It’s enough to have a great song in the background, a calm voice, telling podcastlike things🥰
I’ve watched you for the past couple months and I have to say this is my favorite video yet, and you’re videos have just kept getting better. Not to say the other ones were bad, as they still helped out a lot, but the last few and especially this one have felt more personal, which helps me take what you say to heart. Peace and love brother wish you the best❤️❤️❤
"Wow, this hit right when I needed it! 🌀 Infinite scrolling is a trap, but now I’ve got the tools to break free. Time to take back control of my time!"
true. life is meaningless, so it is better not to overestimate particular things unless the process of improving their presence in your life makes you more happy and interested in your life, and it can be so with complicated and hard things as well. but the point is that you find it interesting and improving your feeling of life, feeling of reality and ability to like your life. when you know that it is about your feeling and happiness and not about being doomed to fight hardly for it (if it is just because you don't get the point that you can enjoy the process of your life), you actually can see more and change priorities and see bigger things and goals compare to that world that you used to live in. and you can be less afraid of doing something you haven't done before, because it is not what you should (to prove something to others), it is what you could do for yourself and what could improve your own sense of life.
Happiness is not a matter of choice. Some people struggle with diseases and disorders of all kinds. Not everybody can afford to sit for hours meditating on the growing of leaves. Happiness is an umbrella term for moments of either peace, pleasure or satisfaction. Sure we can all have them. But not whenever we choose to. Maybe some day when we finally stop competing against each other.
I always watch a video based on the thumbnail and not keep an eye on the views it has. While watching this midway, I thought you must've thousands of followers, or even millions based on the editing, BG music, cinematography and overall quality. And then I came to see and you have 30k followers. I was like Damn, you deserve a crazy amount . Crazy efforts in the videos. Loved the quality. Couldn't help but comment
I loved this mate, taking a step back from everything and just enjoying the moment, the present, the life we have. It takes a lot and a little to remind ourselves to get out of the laser focus we’ve put on a pedestal. Subbed so quickly
Made me think of the movie "Perfect Days" by Wim Wenders, which I watched over and over. Such a cozy movie 😊... Now I feel stupid, cuz I wrote that before reaching 1:24... Patience I'll have to learn...
The quality video I never know I will end up watching. From a long time I tryna stay away with any content and Idk why i just clicked over this, you just decluttered my mind, helped it someway clear up that fog and helped me remember myself back in the start of this year, How strong I was. Thanks a lot. IDK who you are, what type of content you create, I may never ever meet you again, or may, but you earned the like and a subscriber.
I am currently trying to understand this, and the algorithm suggested your video to watch. It is probably very strange, but the thing that made me think about all this was the movie Blade Runner 2049, where Agent K is living a hard life but keeps going and has his ways to enjoy life with his virtual girlfriend. Very weird, I know, but this somehow brought me to think more about the simplicity of life and how I can apply this to my own life. And your video explains this quite perfectly. Again, good job.
what a good video. taking IB film in high school right now and one day I wish to make videos like you. not trying to be a big youtuber or anything, but I imagine my life “when i grow up” to be filled with a lot of things that i grow by myself. not just a 9-5, but projects i have initiative on. things like this.
Pause, sit down, focus on your breathing for a while. Best thing I ever started doing, it lead to meditation which has transformed my life. There is so much benefit to switching off.
Why we are always Dissatisfied with our current circumstances. A few years back, we craved a life like that of influencers, with their perfect morning routines and all the fancy gadgets that reminded to drink water and to poop. And now that we have all of that, it has lost all its flavor. Now we're here ,seeking motivation to attain what we're missing - or, rather, what we've lost along the way." It's soothing to watch this video but surely will again be dissatisfied if started living it.
There's people making a fortune on social media doing the stupidest of things with animals, their dogs etc. Its a ridiculous business model when you think about it that contributes absolutely nothing overall to society at large - but, it holds the attention of X million followers, so someone and their dog can make money! It CAN'T be sustainable long term of course - but by then, most high follow count creators have made their money that they're ok!
thank you for this video. really needed to hear this - and the fact that there wasn't a single phone screen visible (despite the title) was SO soothing and brilliant. this video felt nostalgic in the best possible way.
All my life, while growing up, I have made the decision to live simple and travel lighter. No ambiguous lifestyle, no unnecessary gathering of materials that ends up weighing me down and causing me headaches about how to deal with it.
This is the type of content for which i was scrolling for, ironic. I love Perfect Days, too It changed my life for good, at least help me to appreciate the more mundane things.
Alright I'm going to type some things out that I need to say out loud and I need them written somewhere so I can look back to it when I get to enjoy the beauty of the mundane . And so I shall commence into my writing. I am tired of being tired. Recently I had a silly fight with a friend I truly really love. At the end of our fight she told me she needed time and so we stopped talking . It's been 3 days and I can't stop thinking about it , what I could've done to not get in to that situation , get a time machine travel back to that moment and not say what I wanted to say because I would know that those words will take her away from me . But then again life's a tricky game so even if I travelled back to that unfortunate moment and fixed it, another one would arise earlier and might have even been one worse than the one im going through right now . I want to text her tell her that I'm here for her , tell her that I miss her and she's alway on my mind . But there's this voice in me saying "you're weak , you'll sound desperate" and well maybe I am . I keep thinking that if I do nothing now and just wait I might lose precious time with her . But then I think that if i do rush through it I might not get to have anymore time with her because I'll screw it up even harder and i'll drive her even further away . I'm tired of being tired and I wanna be with her.
That's hard. Look. If you try and reconcile and she shuts you down youre in the same position as you are now. Don't expect anything to change but if it does then great. If not, reconvene, recollect your thoughts and reprocess your life. If you want to chat more about it you can add me on insta or discord and we can talk more properly. But good luck❤️
@@TomHurls Well first I'd like to thank you for taking the time to read my comment , normally it would just stay there and pile up in the abyss of comments while your vid blows up. And although I appreciate you taking the time to answer me , I also disagree with one of the things you've mentioned in your message. The statement with which i disagree is : "If you try and reconcile and she shuts you down youre in the same position as you are now" . Let me explain. So for right now what's happening is we're in a standstill where she told me she needed time to process things and I'm therefore trying to give her the time she needs. If I go in with a message saying that I miss her three days in I'll have essentially not listened to her request of wanting to be alone and get things sorted with her life. If I text her now for us to reconcile, yes I'll have the thoughts burning deep inside my head about me being a sitting duck and doing nothing erased , but in turn my message might drive her further away than we are now. I won't have given her time to process her feelings and therefore she might act defensively and push me further away because I will have unintentionally disrupted her way through healing. So no, at least in my opinion, we wont be in the same place after it , we'll be even further from it. And so I decided to give it a bit more thought. I decided to look at the situation from her perceptive. She's struggling right now and our fight, although I'd like to think it was significant to her , might not be the biggest of her problems right this second . And so I'll wait until she's ready , if she never is then I'll have to learn to be okay with that. Time heals all Have a wonderful day!
Very true brother, in that case give it time and space. "They always come back." The good days always come back, the happiness always comes back, love (maybe not in the same physical form, but in some form) always comes back. Remember that ❤️
The cinematography and storytelling were amazing. Life can be absurd at times, and we must create meaning in order to live it. In an era where everything is about grabbing attention, where we build our self-image based on how others treat us (ironically), and where there's a constant urge to become filthy rich, this piece of art brought me peace.
camus' philosophy is not cozy, it's about resistance. yes, you can revolte against the absurdity of life on an individual level by trying to have fun no matter how bad the circumstances, and you sort of HAVE to. but revolting against the absurd also means quite literally revolting against injustice. Camus joined the french resistance and wrote a book called "the pest" which was about doing the "right" thing even if it might kill you because if you don't, you're already infected and doomed to die. also I personally think, individual happiness is an oxymoron since human beings are social beings. i strongly believe that we can't be happy without doing something meaningful, and that this "meaning" comes from a connection to other people. focusing on the smell of good coffee and the morning song of birds will never be enough if we don't do anything we consider truly meaningful. so don't focus on the little things, focus on the big word things (peace, love, justice, art, you name it), because striving for those things gives your life meaning and is a true revolte against all meaninglessness.
when it comes to philosophy my approach has always been the following: take what's useful for me, leave the rest. So, when I read Camus, the parts of his philosophy I love are the thoughts I expressed in this video and just because I love them it doesn't mean I agree with everything Camus says (e.g. I won't join the french resistance hahah). In terms of your second point I absolutely agree. Community has been something I've spoken about in the past on this channel and is absolutely an aspect of life we need. I think it largely comes down to the scope of the video. The video was about simplicity and enjoying small moments. I'm not saying that's all you need to live a meaningful life, but it sure goes a long way.
I don't know who will read my comment, but for me, I wage a big war with myself every day in order to improve myself I learn the English language and study in high school 8 to 5It's exhausting... and I exercise... All this war For something I'm not sure I'll ever get Because I want to leave the country I am in.. And I live my life on the streets I love in a cozy home ...But nevertheless, I feel beautiful these days and I feel happy because I have a goal to live for.. But if I don't achieve the goal after all this effor. believe me I will collapse... 👉🏻👈🏻
You're doing great 🫶 Your effort, alone, is your greatness, not necessarily your success. No matter what, you've changed your life in profound ways, and you'll always be beautiful because your beauty is found, not only in your fight and your fighting spirit but also, in your existence! We all have to fight for something, but I think, maybe, what we lose along the way is the innate knowledge that we can actually fight in a peaceful and gentle way. Not like a warlord, not tearing ourselves apart but with bold hearts full of love for ourselves and others, with the right beliefs, and with the way we speak to and about ourselves and others. We knew this when we were children. Activists like MLK Jr., or thoughtful and intuitive souls like Anne Frank, come to mind.
Just got acroos your channel and loved your content , watched your mulitiple vidios or I would say what I watched was a perfect peice of art please never stop posting....❤
Perfect days was truly a game changer of a film, I’ve watched it several times already and I get profound joy in the simple life that he leads. I unfortunately end up falling into the trap of scrolling time and time again however, but I will forever do my best to give it up and fall back to simpler times
Your channel is such a gem that I am so glad I've stumbled upon. From the moment the first song started playing I was instantly reminded of Perfect Days, even more so when you started watering the plants, and then you mentioned it! Mishima, Murakami, Camus, even a bit of The Smiths at the end. A focus on simple living. Not to mention the beauty you are able to capture with your camera. Keep up the amazing work! P.S. If you haven't seen it, Paul Schrader directed an absolutely brilliant film about Mishima's life and its parallels to his works. If you have, let me know what you think!
My Doctor recently traveled to Egypt and met a man who lived in a cave with very little assets. He loved talking with tourists about the local history and gradually learned english by doing so. He was the happiest guy who lived in the moment and valued friends and family. My Doctor and his wife talked with him for hours. He said it was so eye opening and was the pinnacle of their trip.
It's funny. I was just listening to sitting on the Dock of the bay and seen this video and clicked on it and the video starts with that song. Awesome video, thanks.
Thanks man really was depressed these days not knowing what is the meaning of my life and what am I supposed to do.but your video definitely made a change in my mindset thanks 👍
Thnk you for making such amazing content brother, I have recently explored this concept of embracing the boring and trying to enjoy it, this video is one of the best I have watched today, many a times we get so caught up in living for the next big thing, we forget majority of life is just chasing it, and thats where the magic and fun lies. Thanks for this video, wish you lots of success and love❤

Your videos make me stop and rethink what im doing, keeping my life a little lighter and more joyful, thank you. Amazing video btw
Thank you man , glad you got some value from it ❤️❤️
"Perfect days" had a huge impact on my personality. Taugh me how to notice the beauty of simple things
I know , such a good film 🙌 you might like to read some books by Haruki Murakami. I find they give me the same vibe
@TomHurls I love Murakami! His books are like magic
Tom’s movie recommendation of Perfect Days has been life changing. I’m obsessed with the books and soundtrack. Such a thoughtful movie!!! It is iconic!!!
@@lindafuller446I’m gonna watch it
if you enjoyed that one, check out “paterson”! it also leans into that beauty of the mundane type of vibe :)
What a powerful, sensible and liberating reminder. We are not a burden and never so lonely. Thank you, your music is a blessing

this is pure art! amazing work

Amazing video, positive and entertaining, with an immersive narrative that slowly builds up!
Thank you brother , really appreciate that ❤️
We just need to embrace life fully. Every experience, every moment, even the Mundane, the boring, tha slow
Happiness is not a matter of choice. Some people struggle with diseases and disorders of all kinds. Not everybody can afford to sit for hours meditating on the growing of leaves. Happiness is an umbrella term for moments of either peace, pleasure or satisfaction. Sure we can all have them. But not whenever we choose to. Maybe some day when we finally stop competing against each other.
This is who I wanna be, a man that has his life straight, has a perfect schedule and is a chill giy
Damn, what a beautiful video man, keep up the good work!
Thank you brother, really appreciate that ❤️
Simply being present in this moment is the state of living the simple life. Thank you for sharing your inspiring insights in the video.
glad you got something from it 🙌
I always watch a video based on the thumbnail and not keep an eye on the views it has. While watching this midway, I thought you must've thousands of followers, or even millions based on the editing, BG music, cinematography and overall quality. And then I came to see and you have 30k followers. I was like Damn, you deserve a crazy amount . Crazy efforts in the videos. Loved the quality. Couldn't help but comment
Thank you man , really appreciate that ❤️❤️❤️
I loved this mate, taking a step back from everything and just enjoying the moment, the present, the life we have. It takes a lot and a little to remind ourselves to get out of the laser focus we’ve put on a pedestal. Subbed so quickly
Hahaha thank you man
I found this video because of scrolling
Me too😂❤
Sochne wali baat hai 😅
lmfoaaooo 😂😂😂😂😂
Same Same but different
Exactly 😂😂😂
What a great video ! The best RUclips recommendation ever.
Great Video Tom!
Both the info and the cinematography keep getting better
Keep on going❤
Thank you man , appreciate that ❤️
This video is beautiful. Full of right mindset thoughts for adults trying to figure out what life is. Thank you for sharing ❤
thank you , really appreciate that ❤️
Made me think of the movie "Perfect Days" by Wim Wenders, which I watched over and over. Such a cozy movie 😊... Now I feel stupid, cuz I wrote that before reaching 1:24... Patience I'll have to learn...
The quality video I never know I will end up watching. From a long time I tryna stay away with any content and Idk why i just clicked over this, you just decluttered my mind, helped it someway clear up that fog and helped me remember myself back in the start of this year, How strong I was.
Thanks a lot. IDK who you are, what type of content you create, I may never ever meet you again, or may, but you earned the like and a subscriber.
Oh and U am kinda jealous of your articulate and clear heavy voice too 🙂🙄.
Thank you , really appreciate that and glad you enjoyed ❤️
I am currently trying to understand this, and the algorithm suggested your video to watch. It is probably very strange, but the thing that made me think about all this was the movie Blade Runner 2049, where Agent K is living a hard life but keeps going and has his ways to enjoy life with his virtual girlfriend. Very weird, I know, but this somehow brought me to think more about the simplicity of life and how I can apply this to my own life. And your video explains this quite perfectly. Again, good job.
thank you brother, glad you got some value from it ❤️
what a good video. taking IB film in high school right now and one day I wish to make videos like you. not trying to be a big youtuber or anything, but I imagine my life “when i grow up” to be filled with a lot of things that i grow by myself. not just a 9-5, but projects i have initiative on. things like this.
Nice man , sounds like a great goal to have !
What a beautiful video to stumble upon. Thank you mate, this was lovely
Thank you man , appreciate that ❤️
Pause, sit down, focus on your breathing for a while. Best thing I ever started doing, it lead to meditation which has transformed my life. There is so much benefit to switching off.
I'm so glad that this video were recommended in my algorithm
I'm glad you got some value from it brother 🙏
Why we are always Dissatisfied with our current circumstances.
A few years back, we craved a life like that of influencers, with their perfect morning routines and all the fancy gadgets that reminded to drink water and to poop. And now that we have all of that, it has lost all its flavor. Now we're here ,seeking motivation to attain what we're missing - or, rather, what we've lost along the way."
It's soothing to watch this video but surely will again be dissatisfied if started living it.
I think Happiness is inversely proportional to the desires a Man has. Less the desires a person has more he is happy, and this is indeed true ✌✌☮☮
Very true 🙌🙌
That’s the essence of Buddhism right there.
Really thank you man, you have just opened my eyes and make me understand about the simplicity of life. ty so much. 💓
♥️♥️
There's people making a fortune on social media doing the stupidest of things with animals, their dogs etc. Its a ridiculous business model when you think about it that contributes absolutely nothing overall to society at large - but, it holds the attention of X million followers, so someone and their dog can make money! It CAN'T be sustainable long term of course - but by then, most high follow count creators have made their money that they're ok!
thank you for this video. really needed to hear this - and the fact that there wasn't a single phone screen visible (despite the title) was SO soothing and brilliant. this video felt nostalgic in the best possible way.
I'm glad you got some value from it 🙌♥️
All my life, while growing up, I have made the decision to live simple and travel lighter. No ambiguous lifestyle, no unnecessary gathering of materials that ends up weighing me down and causing me headaches about how to deal with it.
This is the type of content for which i was scrolling for, ironic.
I love Perfect Days, too
It changed my life for good, at least help me to appreciate the more mundane things.
Alright I'm going to type some things out that I need to say out loud and I need them written somewhere so I can look back to it when I get to enjoy the beauty of the mundane .
And so I shall commence into my writing. I am tired of being tired. Recently I had a silly fight with a friend I truly really love. At the end of our fight she told me she needed time and so we stopped talking . It's been 3 days and I can't stop thinking about it , what I could've done to not get in to that situation , get a time machine travel back to that moment and not say what I wanted to say because I would know that those words will take her away from me . But then again life's a tricky game so even if I travelled back to that unfortunate moment and fixed it, another one would arise earlier and might have even been one worse than the one im going through right now . I want to text her tell her that I'm here for her , tell her that I miss her and she's alway on my mind . But there's this voice in me saying "you're weak , you'll sound desperate" and well maybe I am . I keep thinking that if I do nothing now and just wait I might lose precious time with her . But then I think that if i do rush through it I might not get to have anymore time with her because I'll screw it up even harder and i'll drive her even further away . I'm tired of being tired and I wanna be with her.
That's hard. Look. If you try and reconcile and she shuts you down youre in the same position as you are now. Don't expect anything to change but if it does then great. If not, reconvene, recollect your thoughts and reprocess your life. If you want to chat more about it you can add me on insta or discord and we can talk more properly. But good luck❤️
@@TomHurls Well first I'd like to thank you for taking the time to read my comment , normally it would just stay there and pile up in the abyss of comments while your vid blows up. And although I appreciate you taking the time to answer me , I also disagree with one of the things you've mentioned in your message. The statement with which i disagree is : "If you try and reconcile and she shuts you down youre in the same position as you are now" . Let me explain. So for right now what's happening is we're in a standstill where she told me she needed time to process things and I'm therefore trying to give her the time she needs. If I go in with a message saying that I miss her three days in I'll have essentially not listened to her request of wanting to be alone and get things sorted with her life. If I text her now for us to reconcile, yes I'll have the thoughts burning deep inside my head about me being a sitting duck and doing nothing erased , but in turn my message might drive her further away than we are now. I won't have given her time to process her feelings and therefore she might act defensively and push me further away because I will have unintentionally disrupted her way through healing. So no, at least in my opinion, we wont be in the same place after it , we'll be even further from it. And so I decided to give it a bit more thought. I decided to look at the situation from her perceptive. She's struggling right now and our fight, although I'd like to think it was significant to her , might not be the biggest of her problems right this second . And so I'll wait until she's ready , if she never is then I'll have to learn to be okay with that. Time heals all
Have a wonderful day!
Very true brother, in that case give it time and space. "They always come back." The good days always come back, the happiness always comes back, love (maybe not in the same physical form, but in some form) always comes back. Remember that ❤️
The cinematography and storytelling were amazing. Life can be absurd at times, and we must create meaning in order to live it. In an era where everything is about grabbing attention, where we build our self-image based on how others treat us (ironically), and where there's a constant urge to become filthy rich, this piece of art brought me peace.
Thank you man , really appreciate that ❤️
camus' philosophy is not cozy, it's about resistance. yes, you can revolte against the absurdity of life on an individual level by trying to have fun no matter how bad the circumstances, and you sort of HAVE to. but revolting against the absurd also means quite literally revolting against injustice. Camus joined the french resistance and wrote a book called "the pest" which was about doing the "right" thing even if it might kill you because if you don't, you're already infected and doomed to die. also I personally think, individual happiness is an oxymoron since human beings are social beings. i strongly believe that we can't be happy without doing something meaningful, and that this "meaning" comes from a connection to other people. focusing on the smell of good coffee and the morning song of birds will never be enough if we don't do anything we consider truly meaningful. so don't focus on the little things, focus on the big word things (peace, love, justice, art, you name it), because striving for those things gives your life meaning and is a true revolte against all meaninglessness.
when it comes to philosophy my approach has always been the following: take what's useful for me, leave the rest. So, when I read Camus, the parts of his philosophy I love are the thoughts I expressed in this video and just because I love them it doesn't mean I agree with everything Camus says (e.g. I won't join the french resistance hahah). In terms of your second point I absolutely agree. Community has been something I've spoken about in the past on this channel and is absolutely an aspect of life we need. I think it largely comes down to the scope of the video. The video was about simplicity and enjoying small moments. I'm not saying that's all you need to live a meaningful life, but it sure goes a long way.
You gained a new subscriber from very first watch. Keep up the good work, world needs people like us 😃
I don't know who will read my comment, but for me, I wage a big war with myself every day in order to improve myself I learn the English language and study in high school 8 to 5It's exhausting... and I exercise... All this war For something I'm not sure I'll ever get Because I want to leave the country I am in.. And I live my life on the streets I love in a cozy home ...But nevertheless, I feel beautiful these days and I feel happy because I have a goal to live for.. But if I don't achieve the goal after all this effor. believe me I will collapse... 👉🏻👈🏻
You're doing great 🫶
Your effort, alone, is your greatness, not necessarily your success. No matter what, you've changed your life in profound ways, and you'll always be beautiful because your beauty is found, not only in your fight and your fighting spirit but also, in your existence! We all have to fight for something, but I think, maybe, what we lose along the way is the innate knowledge that we can actually fight in a peaceful and gentle way. Not like a warlord, not tearing ourselves apart but with bold hearts full of love for ourselves and others, with the right beliefs, and with the way we speak to and about ourselves and others. We knew this when we were children.
Activists like MLK Jr., or thoughtful and intuitive souls like Anne Frank, come to mind.
Just got acroos your channel and loved your content , watched your mulitiple vidios or I would say what I watched was a perfect peice of art please never stop posting....❤
thank you man, really appreciate that ❤️
2:47 who else thought he was the one whistling here? 😭
hahahah
Whats this whistling bgm?? Any idea any movie or can i download it from somewhere
Perfect days was truly a game changer of a film, I’ve watched it several times already and I get profound joy in the simple life that he leads. I unfortunately end up falling into the trap of scrolling time and time again however, but I will forever do my best to give it up and fall back to simpler times
Me scrolling while watching this video 😅
love from Nepal 🇳🇵 dude.
Thanks for your effort❤
Thank you man, appreciate you!
Tom, I didn’t think I could fall in love with a video. It makes me feel so supported...
I'm glad it helped ♥️
I'm just gonna say, thank you for this video man.
This video is so enlightening and inspiring,it’s so peaceful to watch it and gives diff kindof comfort loved it tom!!!!
Thank you , appreciate that ♥️
Your channel is such a gem that I am so glad I've stumbled upon. From the moment the first song started playing I was instantly reminded of Perfect Days, even more so when you started watering the plants, and then you mentioned it! Mishima, Murakami, Camus, even a bit of The Smiths at the end. A focus on simple living. Not to mention the beauty you are able to capture with your camera. Keep up the amazing work!
P.S. If you haven't seen it, Paul Schrader directed an absolutely brilliant film about Mishima's life and its parallels to his works. If you have, let me know what you think!
Really appreciate that 🙌🙌 I'll check the film out !
it is indeed simple, and you expressed it well.
My Doctor recently traveled to Egypt and met a man who lived in a cave with very little assets. He loved talking with tourists about the local history and gradually learned english by doing so. He was the happiest guy who lived in the moment and valued friends and family. My Doctor and his wife talked with him for hours. He said it was so eye opening and was the pinnacle of their trip.
Limit screen time by setting specific hours to check social media or use apps, freeing up time to engage in other activities. ❤
This, every morning. Thanks man, really needed it.
Words can't explain how much I loved the video. Not just the substance, but every detail, every shot, every background music, all felt so magical.
Thank you so much , really appreciate that ❤️
Thank you for this beautiful video😊❤
Likes to watch ratio is insane! Amazing production quality, well done
It's funny. I was just listening to sitting on the Dock of the bay and seen this video and clicked on it and the video starts with that song. Awesome video, thanks.
the answer is to reach flow state as frequently as possible, it can be just by creating a painting or taking photos. find your flow
I watched that movie recently I relized that happiness means to being grateful and live simply
Thanks man really was depressed these days not knowing what is the meaning of my life and what am I supposed to do.but your video definitely made a change in my mindset thanks 👍
I'm glad you got some value from it ❤️
This was the most enjoyable 5 minutes video ive seen today i loved it
Thnk you for making such amazing content brother, I have recently explored this concept of embracing the boring and trying to enjoy it, this video is one of the best I have watched today, many a times we get so caught up in living for the next big thing, we forget majority of life is just chasing it, and thats where the magic and fun lies. Thanks for this video, wish you lots of success and love❤
Thank you bro , appreciate that
Beautiful as always man, thanks for doing what you do.
