Said Marcus Aurelius in several different ways: “You have power over your mind - not outside events.,, “The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.,,
@@bobvanbutselaar I’d like to argue that you can control the outcome of outside events when one focuses solely on the predictability of a person’s nature and what would happen under certain circumstances
@@vincentmichel7314, to some degree. However predictions are merely that, predictions. There's always a large margin of error so having control over the situation or the people in it is severely limited since behaviour moment to moment is very hard to predict behaviour and dependent on the level of willingness to cooperate, group dynamics and environmental impacts or day-to-day impacts of circadian rhythms and nutritional influences or emotional or social factors. With long-term data it might become easier but certainly not controllable. Your own "certain circumstances" condition is anecdotal evidence of the high number of variables that need to be accounted for and fall into place to support your argument. One can find a possible correlation to support your argument, but only that, a correlation.
Been feeling like I’m going crazy lately because I don’t feel “home” at home anymore. I have never felt this uncomfortable before, like I’m supposed to be somewhere else. Worst feeling I’ve ever felt in my life.
Everyone shows the best parts of their lives on social media, no one wants to he vulnerable enough to post their bad days or their fuck ups or their ugly pics, you're not running out of time and you're not doing anything wrong, we're all on our own paths in life, just do what you feel is right for you, do what makes you happy and don't compare your progress to others.
I’ve recently embraced a healthy portion of my madness. It attracts people like crazy. I feel like deep down they wanna know how to achieve that level of comfort with themselves. Where they can express their true self. The child in them and not care about what others are gonna think.
Interesting. I feel like I want to be like that and sometimes I am. But everytime I got reminded of the rules and how this world works I go back to the "sanity" this world knows.
@@vindric8330 The “sanity” this world knows is finding comfort in the illusions people feed themselves with, thinking they know who they are. We don’t know who we really are until we look deep inside us. It’s difficult and uncomfortable but so worth it.
"Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy, then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness. Science fiction? It is already happening to some extent in our own society... Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed, modern society gives them antidepressant drugs. In effect, antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual's internal state in such a way as to enable him to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable." "The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race." "Our society tends to regard as a sickness any mode of thought or behavior that is inconvenient for the system and this is plausible because when an individual doesn't fit into the system it causes pain to the individual as well as problems for the system. Thus the manipulation of an individual to adjust him to the system is seen as a cure for a sickness and therefore as good." "To those who think that all this sounds like science fiction, we point out that yesterday's science fiction is today's fact. The Industrial Revolution has radically altered man's environment and way of life, and it is only to be expected that as technology is increasingly applied to the human body and mind, man himself will be altered as radically as his environment and way of life have been." - Ted kaczinzki

Is anyone else also experiencing random mood swings and have flashbacks of memories that make you mad during this lockdown ? Like really angry, I want to know if im the only one
Being frustrated with the situation is normal. It is a short of madness as the video says, as getting angry with a virus doesn't make sense. What are we geting mad at? The virus existing? The guy that ate the bat? The media misreading information? Or actually spreading information but us overreacting to it? The governments taking measures and restricting us? Or the people that don't follow them and thus make the life and spreading of the virus easier? And a lot more things someone could get mad to in this situation. But know that as a social creature it's most definitely normal. And realizing it and wondering about it is the start of philosophy. The medicine to extreme madness and inner peace. Or not? As it raises more questions than answers. The answers we give are already not the same as someone else answer. And we thrive for the truth, trying to reach it as close as possible. So keep in mind that no, philosophy doesn't make you crazier. It makes you more analytical, with a sharper mind. And when you philosophize, you know you might not reach the expected result. But knowing this and continuing is what make you mad but truly, sane among others that close their eyes to the truth and live in their lie. This is one of the many benefits of philosophy. And now in lock down, with more time in our hands that the mythical primordial Chronos, we can practice and even master to a degree, philosophy.
When thinking about the absurdity and the meaninglessness of it all, is moment where I once again realize my own limits to comprehend everything and me being lost in the midst everything. The primitive me, you might call it the limbic system or my emotions, interprets my actions and Environment and evaluates it in terms of reproduction and self preservation, that have been established over the course of millions of years, to promote certain behavior (and it likes a good amount of certainty and order) In this case, well, it provokes anxiety and feeling lost. Edit: it's really hard to put into words.
The first time I swam 1.6 km on open water, I remember getting out and feeling fine. My speech centre had shut down for lack of oxygen. I could only make myself understood a few minuites later. It was then that I realised that I am the limbic system. I started nearly 4 billion years ago, and every time I passed on, I was just enough ... Scary and liberating ... Soooo much of everything else, so little of me
I feel like we are all going slowly mad. Every day our we get closer to our true selves, an arms length away. And when you’re so close you can touch it, it all turns upside down. And then the madness begins, slowly but surely. One day we will be who we want to be, until then please enjoy the ride!
Yknow I finally got a sense of self,touched my true self but then when I wanted to continue it, everything really turned upside now and just after that I got into severe depression and am really close to madness literally.It happened bcoz of the guilt of cheating myself,it was for a month but bcoz of resentment I dragged it to 4months and suffered a lot,a lot.
I've gotten to a point where i don't feel much joy anymore, everywhere i see it's as if just by looking at someone's face i can tell what they feel and think and what they go through. I started changing my life eating healthier and staying home a bit more instead of going out and doing too much for my own self care but, i feel like me helping my peers out... its hopeless they look at me where i've been and they assk if im ok, but in reality, besides me having existensial crises everyday, im fine. what makes me upset is when they talk to me as if i need help when clearly i can see they have problems themselves and it keeps happeneing to them over and over and over again. it got to the point where i had to cut people off. the more i focus on me the more i can see what my loved ones think of me. i guess i feel alone the harder i try to help myself, the more people around me seem to look at me strange, when in all reality i want to help them, help themselves. being aware of everything 24/7 is draining and it feels hopeless.
Yup, lifes a bitch. I had to cut everyone outa my life years ago because of similar things. People will drain your life energy dry real fast. Focus on you buddy and keep busy.
I feel you man. I recognize a lot of myself right now, in what you wrote. I think it's good to be able to accept help from others. But it's even better to understand, that the only one who truly knows you and who truly can help you, is yourself. And that others "help" or those that try to help to much when it's not necessary and that doesn't wait for you to ask for what you actually need help with. Often takes you back instead of making you progress. Damaged people can't help damaged people. Believe in yourself brother. I think that's the way. Life isn't easy. But as long as we try to find a way. We can. Sounded a bit cheezy though lol
Ignorance is a blessing, intelligence is a curse, I guess you now understand why most geniuses of all kind end up in suicide. Do not let it be your fate though,break free of the curse, do the things you enjoy slightly more often, and eventually you'll find things that you like more and more.
Stay in contact with your family and find someone you like to be with, go to the gym and stay healthy, read and sharpen your mind, but don't fall for the trap of extreme awareness, it takes a toll on your mind, and the anxiety that comes from it is not worth it, cheers.
You are so simple and humble in your thoughts that I wonder if anybody can argue with you, you don’t seem to prove anything right or wrong but just contemplate without conclusions and that I think is limitless and kind of mad too!
I've made these exact type of comments before; not because they're original or funny or clever, but because it's an easy way to get likes and attention.
Felt like I was going mad at one point, spinning head type stuff, but eventually I came to terms with it just being me and how I react within the world, madness doesn't truly exist, it's only society that makes us feel madness.
"All of us look upon the abyss. Like the common folk who pass us by on the sidewalk or in the grocery store, we are trained to glance and take notice, but never, ever stare; for it is when we stare that the abyss takes notice back, just as the common folk does. "And when it notices you, the well-meaning abyss begins to speak, like a stranger far too intimate. Alarming and discomforting, it tells you things you knew but didn't know, showing you the layers beyond the surface you glanced at. You look away, but it's too late. The abyss knows you, and now you are beginning to know it. No longer are you strangers, but acquaintances who periodically have a little chat. "The abyss now trades with you: knowledge for pieces of you. The best of you. The worst of you. It shows you the value of those pieces you traded. You celebrate. You mourn. The knowledge replaces the pieces you trade, keeping you whole but scarring you with each trade. The knowledge has become you, as has the abyss by proxy. No longer are you acquaintances - but something much more intimate. Friends? Lovers? "You stare at one another, you and the abyss. How close you two have become, as your body is now composed of scar tissue. You are hideous to those who glance, but to the abyss you are beautiful, for you now know it just as well as it knows you. And that's when it shows you what it has done with the pieces you traded. They've been made a monument of all your sins: hideous and terrifying. It stands as a testament - a resounding lesson: that those who refuse to look at the abyss - that which is hideous and horrifying - are that which is truly hideous and horrifying."
@@binterwinterboyii1095 Hahahaha Stephen has read too much Nietzsche, and just like Nietzsche he stared too long into an abyss and abyss couldn't help but stare back, and you can only imagine the consequence of that.
That comparison between an adult and child with imaginary friends, that was eye opening. I've been picking up lately on the fact that I actually haven't fundamentally changed much since I was a kid. My memories as a child, a teenager, the last decade..I found it odd that I was just "difficult" as a child, "acting out" as a teenager, and "childish" as an adult. I remember specific points in childhood, like getting rid of all stuffed animals or calling my mother by "mom" not "mommy", those were all weird for me. Idk if being autistic affects that, but I was like "ok I guess I'm apparently too old for this now so I'm not allowed to like it anymore..." every time I was told I'm too old for certain toys or activities. I was aware that I didn't grow out of anything, I grew into expectations. And I realized eventually that there were social expectations I was not privy to. No one tells you to change your behavior much when you're in a small town high school in rural Hickville, everyone is a dumbass in their own kinda way and people don't try too hard to keep up social appearances unless it involves religion or the something patriotic. Then you go to college, get a job, and it's like "you can't act like that, it might offend people" and I was so damn confused because I was just practicing my accents and character voices for acting practice as I talked to customers (was in college for theatre). I wasn't being rude or making inappropriate jokes. Same thing happened when I was hanging out with new friends I met at college, they told me to be lowkey at a party because I was too weird and would scare women away. Now, I'm taking medication to try to help me deal with all the stuff I feel a need to keep contained in public so I can handle a job for any amount of time without freaking out. It isn't working, but I finally found a job that has me away from people most of the time so at least I don't have to act like I know how to act and freak out over every last thing I say and do. My anxiety has skyrocketed since getting out into the "real world" all because of these bullshit expectations no one ever told me about that I can't seem to nail down because they all involve not being myself which I don't wanna do. Can we all just let madness be? I'm not gonna hurt anyone, damn, I just wanna not be afraid to make a weird noise, say the wrong thing, or move my body. This rigid, boring, silent attempt to appear normal is bullshiiiiiiit
It really warms my heart reading this- I've felt the exact same thing with being thrown into the "real world" after my Mom passing away. The expectation to be a refined, logical, stable robot 100% of the time is madness itself. The more I learn about real world expectations, the more crazy I realize "adulting" is. Thanks for this story, I appreciate someone sharing a glimpse of their reality :)

On a spiritual path, all kinds of crazy-seeming and sometimes mythic experiences can occur... if you are prone to such things they even happen without meditation
@꧁ღHAMPTERღ꧂ If I could ask, what did the synchronicities point towards? Did you ever come to a dilemma where you had to choose to go further down the rabbit hole, or stay in reality?
It's at the point where you don't want to be "normal" because it's been so long since you felt sanity that you couldn't imagine being so because it would be unbearable, to the point where you crave relationships with individuals that share your madness. They always tell you to avoid the crazy girl, but truth is she's the only one that will give you an experience to remember, an experience that will make life truly interesting to you, an actual experience.
Eccentricity and awareness is often deemed madness. David bowie said "to be an artist is to be disfunctional" If madness is wrong I do not want to be normal. Eccentricity is all I got, that and a killer outfit.
We live in both a mental and physical environment. We can influence the mental environment around us, but to a far greater extent we are influenced by the mental environment. The mental environment contains forces that affect our thinking and emotions and that can dominate our personal minds. Many individuals and races in the Greater Community, including the Intervention, can exert tremendous influence in the mental environment, while humanity is largely ignorant that the mental environment even exists. Knowledge "is the only part of you that is unaffected by the Mental Environment. It is the only part of you that is free from deception and manipulation.

"Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different results" is not insanity, it's called practice, if you do something over and over again, you'll get better at it, and in the process, results will always improve 👍
I’m not agree with this in some degree. For example, I know music indeed joyous aspect of our lives , but overdoing leads to addiction, which is never good.
" Sometimes you have to trust your own madness"- Clive Barker. I recall reading Bukowski's books at the age of 19 years old. I thought that I knew it all but then I was sucked into a wormhole of ideas and music and art and dancing. It was then I knew that my journey had just begun and now I am 43 years old and I can firmly say that "life is the journey to one's self" and I have lived a very magical life. It had nothing to do with God , it had to do with myself facing myself over and over and over until things just began to fall into place as if I found the missing pieces to a puzzle. The hardest thing you will face is yourself, once you know and understand fully who you are and what you represent, the rest comes easy. I quit my career after being in the field for two decades and I created my own business. and no it's not easy but when you have passion for something it seems to come more easily. I guess what I am saying is that everyone can get lost and everyone can get side tracked but I think as long as you follow your inner knowing you will be A okay. I truly hope that I am correct.

This made me cry. I've been through OCD, anxiety, depression and now depersonalization/derealization. I could not have better described what thoughts, urges, compulsions and behaviors I've been going through all these years. Thank you so much for this.
Nicely done. I suspect that madness is part of the human condition. It comes with our self-awareness, our lack of the ability to control our world, and the knowledge that we are such a small part of the universe as to be inconsequential. We matter most to ourselves and very little to anyone else, which is a hard pill to swallow.
Depersonalization can be its own disorder, or a symptom of depression, drug use, or psychotropic medications. But when it occurs as a symptom of severe or prolonged stress and anxiety, experts agree that it's not dangerous - or a sign of psychosis - like many people fear👍
I've had this video saved since about a year. I never watched it until today, despite it being recommended to me a few times again. I have no idea what's going through my mind after this, but I can tell that I feel like it came at an amazing time
The Strongest of the Strange you won’t see them often for wherever the crowd is they are not. those odd ones, not many but from them come the few good paintings the few good symphonies the few good books and other works. and from the best of the strange ones perhaps nothing. they are their own paintings their own books their own music their own work. sometimes I think I see them say a certain old man sitting on a certain bench in a certain way or a quick face going the other way in a passing automobile or there’s a certain motion of the hands of a bag-boy or a bag-girl while packing supermarket groceries. sometimes it is even somebody you have been living with for some time-you will notice a lightning quick glance never seen from them before. sometimes you will only note their existence suddenly in vivid recall some months some years after they are gone. I remember such a one- he was about 20 years old drunk at 10 a.m. staring into a cracked New Orleans mirror facing dreaming against the walls of the world where did I go?
Thank you for this. I feel like this all the time and often fear it's something more than the craziness of "existence" like an actual problem, but the more I question these feelings the more they come back to the idea that we are in psychosis by an a priori nature and that the mind construes a subjective truth that subconsciously is viewed as objective to create the illusion of rationality and a sense of a foundation we call "reality." The deeper one looks, the more fantasy and reality become enmeshed with each other, married to each other, and are soul mates by essence. All knowledge is the result of trying to give form to an aspect of infinity with infinite aspects which when questioned down to th core, dissolves by the very mind that claimed to possess something in a substantial manner. This universe is structured chaos and consciousness strives, as its purpose, to configure the array. We know nothing beyond conceptions, the latter existing as a function only; a tool to navigate an unknowable world by the logical deception of knowable means.
I have this feeling of not being happy .. like I lost myself I’m not the kid I was I had just woke up and started to realize things now I’m tryna make sense of my life. Update .. My third eye has started to open I’m now realizing how easy things are I’m more happy and stopped playing so much video games I’ve grown up
YO BRO! I had a similar path where trash things happend and I had to dwell about it for a while. It only changed when I realised that it's not always going to be like this and it will start to make sense when I get older. I was at first scared of this video as I was scared of becoming insane as I think we all so in some degree. But watching it makes a lot of sense and now knowing it's sometimes ok to be crazy and out of line ironically makes me more comfortable XD
The irony of what we could have gained if we spent the many thousands of years of human civilization learning to cooperate amongst ourselves, instead of struggling against each other in a race to dominate and understand the ineffable and infinite universe that gives no concern to our efforts, and will not remember even the thinnest trace of us when we are gone.
I don't see How that is any different than wishful thinking Considering How the universe having no Concern Somehow makes all of Humanity cooperative Despite the Fact that Certain People Care about the Scale and incomprehensibility of the universe as much they do about a land of resources or in the case that they don't Care how Big it is or Ineffable it is to them They only see it as a way to give themselves power in that power corrupts the Good and attracts the worst types of people Though that Doesn't mean Anyone who's Good aswell with power will get Corrupted But still makes me highly Doubt The Future of Humanity will be some sort of paradise But Rather what is Basically the Same Present in we are now Though even if the Universe Had a Concern for us or We Became more Powerful than the universe I Don't see how that deals with the Problem of "What do we Do now?" I mean After that Do we Wake up, Eat and Shit in the toliet then wash ourselves and Go to Sleep Over and over again?
@@themarchoftime3691 Jesus man, learn to use paragraph breaks, proper capitalization, and punctuation. But to clarify, my point is a reference to a political movement. "Understanding and dominating the world" is the capitalist, hierarchical mindset. That everything has its purpose and its place, and anything that doesn't conform is worthless. Instead, we believe all people, of all cultures, should be giving up the arms race to dominate and control, giving up the idea that we will one day own the whole universe and just living in the fleeting fragile here and now, for each other. "Anarcho-Communism" as it's often called (though that name is misleading...) is the belief that an egalitarian paradise is 100% achievable in our world, in our time, and the only reason we don't is that some people insist on being on the top and putting others on the bottom to get there. To create one winner, countless losers must also be created. They frame the universe as a land to be conquered, humanity as an eternal march of individuals to godhood. Our every action and historical event as ordained and important. Instead, we should acknowledge we are tiny, doomed, insignificant specs, who only have one another. We are like ants, and should act it. Even the people we don't like are worth protecting, and treating as equals. You can imagine why such a political movement doesn't exactly gain traction in the main stream. Besides just being a movement of peace and posterity that is litterally named two spooky things most people see as bad.

“Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.”
Said Marcus Aurelius in several different ways: “You have power over your mind - not outside events.,, “The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.,,
@@bobvanbutselaar I’d like to argue that you can control the outcome of outside events when one focuses solely on the predictability of a person’s nature and what would happen under certain circumstances
@@vincentmichel7314, to some degree. However predictions are merely that, predictions. There's always a large margin of error so having control over the situation or the people in it is severely limited since behaviour moment to moment is very hard to predict behaviour and dependent on the level of willingness to cooperate, group dynamics and environmental impacts or day-to-day impacts of circadian rhythms and nutritional influences or emotional or social factors. With long-term data it might become easier but certainly not controllable. Your own "certain circumstances" condition is anecdotal evidence of the high number of variables that need to be accounted for and fall into place to support your argument. One can find a possible correlation to support your argument, but only that, a correlation.

Everyone shows the best parts of their lives on social media, no one wants to he vulnerable enough to post their bad days or their fuck ups or their ugly pics, you're not running out of time and you're not doing anything wrong, we're all on our own paths in life, just do what you feel is right for you, do what makes you happy and don't compare your progress to others.

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche
One of my favourite quotes of all time
@Trevor Chase Yes
"Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy, then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness. Science fiction? It is already happening to some extent in our own society... Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed, modern society gives them antidepressant drugs. In effect, antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual's internal state in such a way as to enable him to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable."
"The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race."
"Our society tends to regard as a sickness any mode of thought or behavior that is inconvenient for the system and this is plausible because when an individual doesn't fit into the system it causes pain to the individual as well as problems for the system. Thus the manipulation of an individual to adjust him to the system is seen as a cure for a sickness and therefore as good."
"To those who think that all this sounds like science fiction, we point out that yesterday's science fiction is today's fact. The Industrial Revolution has radically altered man's environment and way of life, and it is only to be expected that as technology is increasingly applied to the human body and mind, man himself will be altered as radically as his environment and way of life have been."

Is anyone else also experiencing random mood swings and have flashbacks of memories that make you mad during this lockdown ? Like really angry, I want to know if im the only one
I JUST find it ironic That your name is Covid 19 Lmao 😂🤣
Being frustrated with the situation is normal. It is a short of madness as the video says, as getting angry with a virus doesn't make sense. What are we geting mad at?
The virus existing? The guy that ate the bat? The media misreading information? Or actually spreading information but us overreacting to it?
The governments taking measures and restricting us? Or the people that don't follow them and thus make the life and spreading of the virus easier?
And a lot more things someone could get mad to in this situation.
But know that as a social creature it's most definitely normal. And realizing it and wondering about it is the start of philosophy. The medicine to extreme madness and inner peace.
Or not? As it raises more questions than answers.
The answers we give are already not the same as someone else answer. And we thrive for the truth, trying to reach it as close as possible. So keep in mind that no, philosophy doesn't make you crazier. It makes you more analytical, with a sharper mind. And when you philosophize, you know you might not reach the expected result. But knowing this and continuing is what make you mad but truly, sane among others that close their eyes to the truth and live in their lie.
This is one of the many benefits of philosophy. And now in lock down, with more time in our hands that the mythical primordial Chronos, we can practice and even master to a degree, philosophy.

A beautiful quote from a fake person
When thinking about the absurdity and the meaninglessness of it all, is moment where I once again realize my own limits to comprehend everything and me being lost in the midst everything.
The primitive me, you might call it the limbic system or my emotions, interprets my actions and Environment and evaluates it in terms of reproduction and self preservation, that have been established over the course of millions of years, to promote certain behavior (and it likes a good amount of certainty and order) In this case, well, it provokes anxiety and feeling lost.
Edit: it's really hard to put into words.
So true
The first time I swam 1.6 km on open water, I remember getting out and feeling fine. My speech centre had shut down for lack of oxygen. I could only make myself understood a few minuites later. It was then that I realised that I am the limbic system.

I feel like we are all going slowly mad. Every day our we get closer to our true selves, an arms length away. And when you’re so close you can touch it, it all turns upside down. And then the madness begins, slowly but surely. One day we will be who we want to be, until then please enjoy the ride!
Yknow I finally got a sense of self,touched my true self but then when I wanted to continue it, everything really turned upside now and just after that I got into severe depression and am really close to madness literally.It happened bcoz of the guilt of cheating myself,it was for a month but bcoz of resentment I dragged it to 4months and suffered a lot,a lot.
Proceeds to fall of the ride-
Imagine how would the future generations feel when they saw this comment. Have they found it yet? Or we're just mad?
I've gotten to a point where i don't feel much joy anymore, everywhere i see it's as if just by looking at someone's face i can tell what they feel and think and what they go through. I started changing my life eating healthier and staying home a bit more instead of going out and doing too much for my own self care but, i feel like me helping my peers out... its hopeless they look at me where i've been and they assk if im ok, but in reality, besides me having existensial crises everyday, im fine. what makes me upset is when they talk to me as if i need help when clearly i can see they have problems themselves and it keeps happeneing to them over and over and over again. it got to the point where i had to cut people off. the more i focus on me the more i can see what my loved ones think of me. i guess i feel alone the harder i try to help myself, the more people around me seem to look at me strange, when in all reality i want to help them, help themselves. being aware of everything 24/7 is draining and it feels hopeless.
Yup, lifes a bitch. I had to cut everyone outa my life years ago because of similar things. People will drain your life energy dry real fast. Focus on you buddy and keep busy.
I feel you man. I recognize a lot of myself right now, in what you wrote. I think it's good to be able to accept help from others. But it's even better to understand, that the only one who truly knows you and who truly can help you, is yourself. And that others "help" or those that try to help to much when it's not necessary and that doesn't wait for you to ask for what you actually need help with. Often takes you back instead of making you progress. Damaged people can't help damaged people. Believe in yourself brother. I think that's the way. Life isn't easy. But as long as we try to find a way. We can. Sounded a bit cheezy though lol
Ignorance is a blessing, intelligence is a curse, I guess you now understand why most geniuses of all kind end up in suicide. Do not let it be your fate though,break free of the curse, do the things you enjoy slightly more often, and eventually you'll find things that you like more and more.
Stay in contact with your family and find someone you like to be with, go to the gym and stay healthy, read and sharpen your mind, but don't fall for the trap of extreme awareness, it takes a toll on your mind, and the anxiety that comes from it is not worth it, cheers.

"All of us look upon the abyss. Like the common folk who pass us by on the sidewalk or in the grocery store, we are trained to glance and take notice, but never, ever stare; for it is when we stare that the abyss takes notice back, just as the common folk does.
"And when it notices you, the well-meaning abyss begins to speak, like a stranger far too intimate. Alarming and discomforting, it tells you things you knew but didn't know, showing you the layers beyond the surface you glanced at. You look away, but it's too late. The abyss knows you, and now you are beginning to know it. No longer are you strangers, but acquaintances who periodically have a little chat.
"The abyss now trades with you: knowledge for pieces of you. The best of you. The worst of you. It shows you the value of those pieces you traded. You celebrate. You mourn. The knowledge replaces the pieces you trade, keeping you whole but scarring you with each trade. The knowledge has become you, as has the abyss by proxy. No longer are you acquaintances - but something much more intimate. Friends? Lovers?
"You stare at one another, you and the abyss. How close you two have become, as your body is now composed of scar tissue. You are hideous to those who glance, but to the abyss you are beautiful, for you now know it just as well as it knows you. And that's when it shows you what it has done with the pieces you traded. They've been made a monument of all your sins: hideous and terrifying. It stands as a testament - a resounding lesson: that those who refuse to look at the abyss - that which is hideous and horrifying - are that which is truly hideous and horrifying."

May I know the one who said this? Causr i be having the exact same idea my whole life
I don’t understand this concept
That comparison between an adult and child with imaginary friends, that was eye opening. I've been picking up lately on the fact that I actually haven't fundamentally changed much since I was a kid. My memories as a child, a teenager, the last decade..I found it odd that I was just "difficult" as a child, "acting out" as a teenager, and "childish" as an adult. I remember specific points in childhood, like getting rid of all stuffed animals or calling my mother by "mom" not "mommy", those were all weird for me. Idk if being autistic affects that, but I was like "ok I guess I'm apparently too old for this now so I'm not allowed to like it anymore..." every time I was told I'm too old for certain toys or activities. I was aware that I didn't grow out of anything, I grew into expectations. And I realized eventually that there were social expectations I was not privy to. No one tells you to change your behavior much when you're in a small town high school in rural Hickville, everyone is a dumbass in their own kinda way and people don't try too hard to keep up social appearances unless it involves religion or the something patriotic. Then you go to college, get a job, and it's like "you can't act like that, it might offend people" and I was so damn confused because I was just practicing my accents and character voices for acting practice as I talked to customers (was in college for theatre). I wasn't being rude or making inappropriate jokes. Same thing happened when I was hanging out with new friends I met at college, they told me to be lowkey at a party because I was too weird and would scare women away. Now, I'm taking medication to try to help me deal with all the stuff I feel a need to keep contained in public so I can handle a job for any amount of time without freaking out. It isn't working, but I finally found a job that has me away from people most of the time so at least I don't have to act like I know how to act and freak out over every last thing I say and do. My anxiety has skyrocketed since getting out into the "real world" all because of these bullshit expectations no one ever told me about that I can't seem to nail down because they all involve not being myself which I don't wanna do. Can we all just let madness be? I'm not gonna hurt anyone, damn, I just wanna not be afraid to make a weird noise, say the wrong thing, or move my body. This rigid, boring, silent attempt to appear normal is bullshiiiiiiit
It really warms my heart reading this- I've felt the exact same thing with being thrown into the "real world" after my Mom passing away. The expectation to be a refined, logical, stable robot 100% of the time is madness itself. The more I learn about real world expectations, the more crazy I realize "adulting" is. Thanks for this story, I appreciate someone sharing a glimpse of their reality :)

It's at the point where you don't want to be "normal" because it's been so long since you felt sanity that you couldn't imagine being so because it would be unbearable, to the point where you crave relationships with individuals that share your madness. They always tell you to avoid the crazy girl, but truth is she's the only one that will give you an experience to remember, an experience that will make life truly interesting to you, an actual experience.

You're only as crazy as everyone else is sane.
We live in both a mental and physical environment. We can influence the mental environment around us, but to a far greater extent we are influenced by the mental environment. The mental environment contains forces that affect our thinking and emotions and that can dominate our personal minds.
Many individuals and races in the Greater Community, including the Intervention, can exert tremendous influence in the mental environment, while humanity is largely ignorant that the mental environment even exists.

" Sometimes you have to trust your own madness"- Clive Barker. I recall reading Bukowski's books at the age of 19 years old. I thought that I knew it all but then I was sucked into a wormhole of ideas and music and art and dancing. It was then I knew that my journey had just begun and now I am 43 years old and I can firmly say that "life is the journey to one's self" and I have lived a very magical life. It had nothing to do with God , it had to do with myself facing myself over and over and over until things just began to fall into place as if I found the missing pieces to a puzzle. The hardest thing you will face is yourself, once you know and understand fully who you are and what you represent, the rest comes easy. I quit my career after being in the field for two decades and I created my own business. and no it's not easy but when you have passion for something it seems to come more easily. I guess what I am saying is that everyone can get lost and everyone can get side tracked but I think as long as you follow your inner knowing you will be A okay. I truly hope that I am correct.

It comes with our self-awareness, our lack of the ability to control our world, and the knowledge that we are such a small part of the universe as to be inconsequential.
We matter most to ourselves and very little to anyone else, which is a hard pill to swallow.
Depersonalization can be its own disorder, or a symptom of depression, drug use, or psychotropic medications. But when it occurs as a symptom of severe or prolonged stress and anxiety, experts agree that it's not dangerous - or a sign of psychosis - like many people fear👍
Copy/paste is op huh
I've had this video saved since about a year. I never watched it until today, despite it being recommended to me a few times again. I have no idea what's going through my mind after this, but I can tell that I feel like it came at an amazing time
The Strongest of the Strange
you won’t see them often
for wherever the crowd is
they are not.
those odd ones, not many
but from them come the few good paintings
the few good symphonies
the few good books
and other works.
and from the best of the strange ones
perhaps nothing.
they are their own paintings
their own books
their own music
their own work.
sometimes I think I see them
say a certain old man
sitting on a certain bench in a certain way
or a quick face going the other way in a passing automobile
or there’s a certain motion of the hands
of a bag-boy or a bag-girl while packing supermarket groceries.
sometimes it is even somebody you have been
living with for some time-you will notice a lightning quick glance
never seen from them before.
sometimes you will only note their existence
suddenly in vivid recall some months
some years after they are gone.
I remember such a one-
he was about 20 years old drunk at 10 a.m.
staring into a cracked New Orleans mirror
facing dreaming against the walls of the world
where did I go?
Good to see you here
what the fuck is wrong with your enter button? few mgs of amph spilled from your little finger's long nail on it?

"...the best of the strange ones..." what else or more can I say
Beautiful!

Thank you for this. I feel like this all the time and often fear it's something more than the craziness of "existence" like an actual problem, but the more I question these feelings the more they come back to the idea that we are in psychosis by an a priori nature and that the mind construes a subjective truth that subconsciously is viewed as objective to create the illusion of rationality and a sense of a foundation we call "reality." The deeper one looks, the more fantasy and reality become enmeshed with each other, married to each other, and are soul mates by essence. All knowledge is the result of trying to give form to an aspect of infinity with infinite aspects which when questioned down to th core, dissolves by the very mind that claimed to possess something in a substantial manner. This universe is structured chaos and consciousness strives, as its purpose, to configure the array. We know nothing beyond conceptions, the latter existing as a function only; a tool to navigate an unknowable world by the logical deception of knowable means.

Thanks again for the wonderful work you put out there in the world. To the madness which leads us..
I joined the blinkist trial, looking forward to exploring it!
I have this feeling of not being happy .. like I lost myself I’m not the kid I was I had just woke up and started to realize things now I’m tryna make sense of my life. Update .. My third eye has started to open I’m now realizing how easy things are I’m more happy and stopped playing so much video games I’ve grown up
YO BRO! I had a similar path where trash things happend and I had to dwell about it for a while. It only changed when I realised that it's not always going to be like this and it will start to make sense when I get older. I was at first scared of this video as I was scared of becoming insane as I think we all so in some degree. But watching it makes a lot of sense and now knowing it's sometimes ok to be crazy and out of line ironically makes me more comfortable XD
@@Jaykyi yeah bro we getting there we’re waking up some people are still asleep
You always talk about what’s on my mind
The irony of what we could have gained if we spent the many thousands of years of human civilization learning to cooperate amongst ourselves, instead of struggling against each other in a race to dominate and understand the ineffable and infinite universe that gives no concern to our efforts, and will not remember even the thinnest trace of us when we are gone.
I don't see How that is any different than wishful thinking Considering How the universe having no Concern Somehow makes all of Humanity cooperative Despite the Fact that Certain People Care about the Scale and incomprehensibility of the universe as much they do about a land of resources or in the case that they don't Care how Big it is or Ineffable it is to them They only see it as a way to give themselves power in that power corrupts the Good and attracts the worst types of people Though that Doesn't mean Anyone who's Good aswell with power will get Corrupted But still makes me highly Doubt The Future of Humanity will be some sort of paradise But Rather what is Basically the Same Present in we are now Though even if the Universe Had a Concern for us or We Became more Powerful than the universe I Don't see how that deals with the Problem of "What do we Do now?" I mean After that Do we Wake up, Eat and Shit in the toliet then wash ourselves and Go to Sleep Over and over again?
@@themarchoftime3691 Jesus man, learn to use paragraph breaks, proper capitalization, and punctuation. But to clarify, my point is a reference to a political movement. "Understanding and dominating the world" is the capitalist, hierarchical mindset. That everything has its purpose and its place, and anything that doesn't conform is worthless. Instead, we believe all people, of all cultures, should be giving up the arms race to dominate and control, giving up the idea that we will one day own the whole universe and just living in the fleeting fragile here and now, for each other.
"Anarcho-Communism" as it's often called (though that name is misleading...) is the belief that an egalitarian paradise is 100% achievable in our world, in our time, and the only reason we don't is that some people insist on being on the top and putting others on the bottom to get there. To create one winner, countless losers must also be created. They frame the universe as a land to be conquered, humanity as an eternal march of individuals to godhood. Our every action and historical event as ordained and important.
Instead, we should acknowledge we are tiny, doomed, insignificant specs, who only have one another. We are like ants, and should act it. Even the people we don't like are worth protecting, and treating as equals.
You can imagine why such a political movement doesn't exactly gain traction in the main stream. Besides just being a movement of peace and posterity that is litterally named two spooky things most people see as bad.
@@ThrottleKitty acknowledgement of insignifiance Won't Really Work Due to the Fact that even Images of our Earth being shown as a dot in space aswell no Alien Species having been found yet Hasn't really Changed people that much and the world is somehow still a Unfair Place Filled with Cruelty
Although on the doom Part We have no idea What our Future will be like Maybe a dystopia or a Topia But A Dystopian Future seems to be more probable in my View Atleast. Though "Anarcho-Communism" sounds interesting and good but i don't see Why would we give up the advancement of Humanity For that Reason
It’s crazy how much I’ve learned from this!
"Oh what is this? Looks interesting, I'll just watch one vide-"
*starts questioning everything*
Don't stare at all at abyss lest it stares back at you.
I have watched this and realized that I was insane, because I’m always imagining every day that I’m the best version of me and the current me is the worst like I can’t accept who is me because I have so many insecurities but I think self love and acceptance is the key to solution
l'll lose a part of myself the day you stop uploading. Ur channel has changed my mindset more than u can imagine.
Okay thank you, I needed this. I always struggle a lot with normal madness. This is because of past issues with my sanity. So any reminder makes me freak out.
No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness.

I suppose that
Perfect timing on this one
Madness is sometimes the gateway from this insane world.
Going through the comments here and realizing am not alone in this journey of the unknown...mad love😍
You'll have to accept it some day...
Thank you I really needed this. More than you’ll ever know. Thank you!!!
Madness is listening to this video and still can’t comprehend it. Madness is continuing to listening all these depression videos and still can’t fully grasp how to get a grip on your mind.
