  • A Thoughts from Places video In which John Green discusses a trip to Vienna, Austria (or Wien, as it is known to locals)--from the catacombs of St. Stephens Cathedral to the Albertina Museum.
    Several jokes in this video are direct references to these two classic episodes of the show with ze frank: www.zefrank.com... and www.zefrank.com...
    The Green Pad joke is a reference to a previous vlogbrothers video; it was created by nerdfighter Robfromcornwall: / robfromcornwall2

      Titus Pullo The living have to deal with really hard shit, too, though. The dead don't have to suffer, the living do.
      That quote also omits Dumbledore's addendum: "Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love."

    Every time I watch a vlogbrothers video, especially "thoughts from places", I feel more and more honored to be part of something larger than myself, something amazing, something powerful, something humbling, and something that becomes more and more thought provoking everyday. I am proud of who I am, who I've become, and how this community has shaped that.

    This year I lost two of my relatives in one weekend: an uncle, who was the sweetest and most forgiving uncle to colon cancer, and my 21 year-old cousin in a motorcycle accident. This thanksgiving we had a melancholy feast . We lived through this magnificently prepared homecooked thanksgiving in remembrance of those we had lost, and because of my recently acquired knowledge of death, I think that's all the dead need: for us to remember them kindly, and to love them. All they need from us is love.

    A dear friend of mine died 5 months ago. He was a bit of a thinker, a very caring person, overall one of the best people I've ever met, had and has a huge impact on me.
    His philosophical motto was "Live life as if it were your own." Therefore I try to do that with him in mind. I owe him that.

    I did a lot of traveling in college. Vienna was the last place I visited with one of my best travel buddies before graduation. Neither of us got to travel again after college, but we always talked about our memories and things we'd do "next time." She died in an accident this summer. We're only 25. I put off watching this video for a week because I felt like I couldn't enjoy remembering Vienna without her. How odd that I had to answer your question for myself BEFORE I could even watch the video!

    John, I think your Thoughts from Places videos are my favorite videos of yours. They're funny, entertaining, and extremely thought-provoking. They almost always give me a new perspective on life. Oh, and I've never heard of William Kentridge, but I simply must look him up, because if John Green likes him, then he MUST be awesome.

    In my case, I eventually decided that I owed it to her to remember Vienna on my own. She was such a special person, and knowing her shaped who I am today. I also thought of her family, who I only met once (at the funeral). She always talked about them with pride. For their sake, my friends and I need to keep her memory bright. They remember her as a daughter and a sister, but we know her as a classmate and friend. The memory isn't complete without us. So, I watched and remembered Vienna and her.

    Kentridge is one of my favorite artists as well. :) I was fortunate enough to hear him speak here in Detroit and he proposed one of the most profound questions/ideas I'd ever heard.
    "What is one's relation to one's younger self? If you met in the street would you recognize each other? Would you feel embarrassed? When you look at an old photo of yourself you feel a sense of apology. You want to say 'I'm sorry. I was meant to be taking care of you, and I turned you into this'"

Thanks for bringing back many memories even the greys of winter. Get back to show us the colour of summer.

    @lillithdv8 14 лет назад

    On this day, 18 months ago my mom died of cancer. Up to that point, grieving was something vague. The death of a loved one leaves a gaping crushing void inside that is difficutl to describe accurately. But as John wrote "you can never love someone as much as you miss them". I haven't read truer words.
    .
    If anything is owed to them is to cherrish their memories. Only when forgotten are they truely gone.

    At the time that this video was made, I was studying in Vienna. In fact, my Uni was right off of Kaertnerstrasse, and I don't know if it was on the same day, but I have definitely stood in that crowd watching that very same dance team. At the time, I didn't know that the vlogbrothers / John Green existed, but the idea that I may have shared that moment in time and space with the same person whose vlogs have been setting wheels in my head spinning all month is pretty thought provoking and cool.

    We honor the dead by remembering the things they've done, the good and the bad, accepting them for who they were, and how they lived.
    Also we can honor them by living life to the fullest, celebrate life, we're following their footsteps, and also making a path for others later.
    If they were close(relative/friend) by remembering the fun times you had with them, reminiscing with friends sometimes.

    I'm loving these thoughts from places; as for what we owe the dead, we owe them our history and culture. Our cites and cathedrals are built upon the lives, mistakes, loves, and successes of millions of people, ones who are as human as we are today. They buried their dead, just as we do today, giving a little thanks for the things that the deceased contributed to society.

    I just thought my mother-in-law last week, so I can tell you from my experience, memories of the dead are more haunting than the stench at church. I don't go to church... I could avoid the smell, but memories are unpredictable and strike without warning.
    As for honoring, we buried her next to her husband. The guy she loved more than anything and was never the same for the 16 years she lived past his death. I'm very glad she did for I love the son she raised just as much as she loved her husband

    That rotating Mozart head is the logo for a chocolate company that makes these wonderful little treats called Mozartkuchen. I actually had to a project on Autstrian food this year in German class, and my German teacher (who is from Austria) brought in some actual Mozartkuchen to try.
    They're the most delicious things in the world. If you ever go back John (or any nerdfighters reading this comment go to Vienna), you must try some.

    My first memory is of visiting my great grandmother's grave. My parents made up a shrine complete with her favorite sweets and soju ,a kind of rice alcohol. Then they did several very deep bows (seriously, their foreheads were touching the ground). Afterwards, they sprinkled the soju over her grave and stuck a lit cigarette in the ground. I remember thinking, death can't be so bad if there are people who remember what your favorite cigarettes and sweets are.

    This video made me miss my trip to Vienna.

Which made me sad, but ultimately made me realise our spectacular bond, that only we share...
    ...I also was confused by the rotating Mozart head.

    I think we owe the dead rememberance. And to remember our loved ones with a smile. My friend told me the other day about my friend who died in april 'you're not saying goodbye, you're saying see you later' - I'm not religious and don't really believe in an afterlife, but this is comforting :) she also said 'try your best to move on with your life and leave that little space in your heart for her, forever.' which is what I think we owe the dead. (she's italian so sorry for the bad grammar :3) :)

    We owe them not to forget. I remember something you said one time about how most celebrities now-a-days will not be remembered in 100 years because they did not contribute drasically to our society. In the same video, you said that if you want to be remembered and cherished you have to impact someones life, and I remember you said being a spectacular english teacher that your students wil tell their children about, is someone who will be remembered. Thats what we owe. man that was deep...
