I'm a flight attendant. This is my day - every day: The speakerphone conversations, the nail-polish appliers choking everyone out with their toxic fumes, the moms changing seriously-soiled diapers right there in the seat. People have ceased to care about those around them.
i will always cherish the passion that is engraved in humanity and no matter what time period; we will always find a way to express it, be it philosophy or art.
I've been shy my whole life. Countless times in school, when teacher asked something and no one knew the answer, I did... but I was too afraid to raise a hand and say it. I felt afraid that people will hate me for doing so and that always held me back. Worked it out a lot since then, but yeah, I still remember.
A parallel train of thought came to my mind as I listened to your thoughts on faults and virtues and their transmuting relation. The saying “You can't change the people around you, but you can change the people around you" came to mind. I don't want to be the loud man nor the loudest man. I'd rather say something than talk sweet nothings. By the same token, I can see the honesty in speaking your mind from the loud or loudest man, even if and when it is misguided or mistimed. Knowing the truth and speaking the truth are realities that are seldom done together. Both realities of truth unfortunately are mutually exclusive, in a mind-body dualism, where either fault takes control or virtue takes control. The narcissist may know the truth, but never speaks it; sweet nothings flow from his mouth, stroking his ego with lies. The shy know the truth, but rarely speak it; saying something falls on deaf ears or fears of such keep the truth as lived rather than told. As you said, turning fault into virtue, exuding a temperance that keeps you humble and honest at once, is a world of balance we need to live.
Thank you for having this amazing conversation with me brother, been quite insightful understanding others and more importantly my own behaviour and what I can or cannot do to do better 🙏🏼
Used to write. I would always think negatively about what I wrote when I read it later. Maybe it came from a place of disappointment. Thinking I wasn’t the one writing it, or that I wasn’t living up to what I was writing. I’m more grounded now. Now it’s just remaking the habit. LiveWellToday
True Gem, "thoughts on top of thoughts on top of thoughts", you never fail to amaze me with the unique perspectives you have learnt from olden philosophers and from your own well curated plethora of knowledge, knowledge worth investing time into...
I understand how people can see these things as just a 'big cope'. We're faced with deep new ideas that can be very different then what we have believed for a long time. We can hit a wall, and get stuck in some sort of cognitive dissonance for awhile. And then our minds can kinda freak out and try to backpetal. I guess at that point, we make a choice to stay on this path or not. I chose to stay because it wouldn't be fair to my soul to see the truth, then turn away from it
To transform your vices into virtues... that is what philosophy gives us. 💯 Thank you for the lessons and wisdom you share with us through your videos; I feel like I learn more through your channel than my bookshelf lol
this is off topic and i haven´t watched the video yet but i´ve been really sad about how my dad´s trauma has negatively impacted my life, but i realized that without it, he wouldn´t have met or felt attracted to my mom and i wouldn´t have been born. so what this taught me is that everything is a double edged sword, everything can be a blessing or a curse at the same time, that´s why perspective matters. you can turn dark things into something beautiful at the end of the day
Before I watched your video, I was writing down some thoughts I had about a person I knew not so long ago, someone I worked with and whose position enabled this person to bully me. Others-some of whom seemed like otherwise good people-participated. This educated person was quite knowledgeable about logic. Nothing about their behavior (or work, for that matter) was logical. Any sort of raw intelligence one might possess is filtered through one's worldview and one's weaknesses. It is warped by tribalism and corrupted by desires to harm others or schadenfreude. And this is just one reason why, it seems, that the study of ethics and how to live well is as crucial a pursuit in philosophy as it is in everyday life. What good is all that knowledge or raw intelligence when it is not disciplined by ethical behavior, by the allegiance to reason over emotion/feelings about a thing? Can one be truly logical without those things? Can one apply their intelligence in any productive way without those things? Not that I have observed. At any rate, I thank you again for sharing your thoughts. What you said about turning a weakness into a virtue is something that I will apply in my own life.
A person who is shameless is less susceptible to herd mentality and can become a challenger of mindlessly accepted norms that prioritize some people at the expense of others. I am putting this out there because I see just as much fault in the older man as I see in the younger one. Shame is unfortunately often weaponized by educators and caretakers. You shame someone because you are disgusted or angered by them and want them to act in a way that is more palatable to you. You're encouraging them to reject themselves to fit others' needs instead of taking the time to teach them about others' needs and help them act out of care and compassion. When you recognize you have transgressed upon others' comfort, the more productive emotion would be guilt. You feel bad about your actions and seek to improve rather than feeling bad about yourself and seeking to isolate, defend or enslave yourself to the wishes of others. If the older man sought to teach the younger man as a student of life rather than express his own frustration and discomfort, he would have calmly appealed to his empathy and sense of guilt. "Young man, would you kindly lower your voice? I can see that many people are uncomfortable and becoming frustrated by the noise." A child who was taught through shame either loses themselves, or rebels like this man because they were never shown how to care about others as equals. I believe Murray Bowen postulated that one of the greatest challenges most people face is balancing our need for togetherness and separateness.
Hey! And I would like to know about which books are on your shelf? Like the one in the middle with so many parts, it's all the same colour so I thought so... If you could share?
I talk too much that my problem and you talk about shame and i realised that i never really had that, anyway it been a while since i started working on this still i still fall back to my nature but i'll continu trying

You have one fault... You do not upload frequently. You have so much wisdom that is fault not to share it.
Keep the good work. Thanks for these videos

In a youtube full of chaos, here's a channel with peace ❤
Perspective is important, because we can see benefits in our flaws and turn them into strenght. Thank you for this gem👌🏻
“But here, is the real world effect….It turns shyness into humbleness…and wisdom”
This came at such a great time. Thank you.

I try to find answers and then there comes your video, with every part I have been trying to improve and move from... Such a blessing ❤
Thank you for having this amazing conversation with me brother, been quite insightful understanding others and more importantly my own behaviour and what I can or cannot do to do better 🙏🏼
I can't watch and listen at the same time. I get distracted. Why so beautiful ? Man!!😫
Thank you so much for your work, looking forward each Thursday to your videos and journals ❤

Your videos are ART
jealous-> inspired
entitlement->self respect

Well articulated! Thank you for these videos.
you encouraged me to buy Meditations, probably one of the best books written of all time
Happy to see a new video!
Shyness isn’t a lack of self confidence, it’s a lack of confidence in others.
