Gondola. The only current meme I can think of which doesn't just revolve around making post-ironic so-bad-it's-good jokes. We need more memes like this.
I think the lack of arms represents the helplessness of the individual in the modern age, condemnded to wander and observe. But that just might be an impression from overdosing on gondola sadposting
To understand the Tao is to ultimately understand that you are helpless in the grand scheme of things. It could be that the gondola sadposting could be a warped version of this, as individuals now often feel forced to wander and observe as you seem to be describing.
@@leonhauptmann3301 Is that like a "It's all about perspective." in Latin? xD I have no knowledge of literature or philosophy. But there's a huge difference between accepting the world ever revoling as powers beyond your might do their work, wanting to do something about the unfolding situation but knowing you can't do sh/t about it. Sometimes, it's good to know what and what not you're capable of. It would be a shame to live your days complaining and ranting how powerless you are.
Gondola is the eye of the hurricane, a bit of reprieve in a shit storm all around. Wholesome, but without being cringe. Wise, but always exploring to learn more. Gondolas always been my favorite meme to be honest, it's so refreshing 😊
Why are we so attracted to the warhammer setting that we will post about it even when there is no reason to (except to give glory to our man emperor of man)? You got any ideas why commisar?
This may mean the values of the finish people are closer to the wise men described in the video, compared to the values in other places. I'm from Spain and I'm not sure if I have ever seen this meme Edit: spelling mistake
Surrendering tranquility, no matter what else it brings, always affords a faint sense of having lost a higher place. All desires are dissatisfied. Only peace is happy. Legs and a face. Position and awareness. Gondola is presence as such. He is beyond all ingratitude.
He is acceptance of the world as it is. He is the wandering spirit, ever in search of beauty and tranquility. He is at peace with all things he cannot change, which are many, for he is only an observer, not a manipulator. Gondola is a beautiful meme.
The textbook definition of Gondola is: "a light flat-bottomed boat used on Venetian canals, having a high point at each end and worked by one oar at the stern." Possibly representing that the Gondola only travels.
This is my favorite video yet. It has given me much to reflect on personally as many of those quotes from the Dao resonated with my own personal philosophies. However, I do love martial arts, and with that comes a "delight in the slaughter of men". It was also refreshing to hear you talk over serene music and ending the video with a solid call to action and hot takes about money as energy!
"He bears witness to the world as a series of forms, constantly being created and destroyed, where the only permanent things are the elements and the energies that constitute them." I nearly teared up at that bit. Another great meme sermon from our cyberspace psycho-analyst-shaman.
Yeah I can say gondola threads are some of the most memorable I can think of, sharing music with frens and sharing art and rares and enjoying a good talk with others you will never see or ever speak with again, it is a simple joy.
The Gondala is equivalent to Master Iroh, peaceful yet the most powerful. Vs General Zhao’s rage can be compared to Wojak or the post ironic memes. Zuko can be compared to the audience itself. As being tempted by burning rage since it feels “useful”. However we as the audience/ Zuko comes around to Master Iroh/Gondala’s peaceful inner self. Those who are powerful have no need to prove their power, it is known. Just like how fire can be used to fend off predators, cook food, and bring warmth, it can also do damage beyond repair. Our ego and our inner energy should be guided by us, not the other way around.
Gondola is the best meme. The clips and scenes and images of him are only really understood by those who are able to glimpse the world in a dispassionate, sage-like way.
This reminds me of Stoicism philosophy. From what I know, what matters is living in the present fully, and doing your best in the present always. How can this be related to gondola?
I think, an important thing to note is also the resemblance of Gondola meme to old Benis :===D memes, if I recall correctly. The phallic imagery is especially noticeable when Gondola is sitting, not to mention his general form: little head with an outline of long legs. And I am a bit disappointed you couldn't touch on this in more detail in your video. I am hardly savvy at interpretation of phallic imagery, but here is my (mb, cringey) take: Gondola is a penis inserted into to womb of the world in the moment of awe before its consuming vastness and beauty (notice how in memes Gondola is preoccupied with observing nature, vast spaces, and often - celestial phenomena). Thusly Gondola is an inactively active character, despite being relaxed - assertive, although made less in the womb - not consumed or overwhelmed. In lieu of the texts you mentioned in the video, Gondola is the Daoist who saw his fate in this void, but became free though this revelation, not afraid while facing his imminent end by the devouring Mother Nature, and so liberated from fear and burden, for he saw in the void the singular beginning of a new Universe.

You know what's cooler? Is that to actually understand the Dao and wu wei, is to *DO* not doing, to participate in not doing. The conclusion to the Dao is it's beginning, the idea that everything is a cycle. To me that is so deep an meaningful I don't know how else to describe it in words. Because frankly, there aren't any, the only way to really understand it is to live it.
and then, it is all one, whether he was happy or miserable, for his life was never anything more than a present moment always vanishing, and now it is over
Yo! I run the @le.gondola account on instagram and am friends with the owner of Gondola.space! I am really glad you are helping to keep the meme alive!
Is nice to contrast how a being like gondola (if there's such) wouldn't want everyone else to be like gondola, else there wouldn't be anything for them to observe with a wonderful gaze. Is like you say, unlike the intense jungian beliefs full of turbulent insight the dao is easy going but also therefor not totally applicable to every moment in the complications present in the real world is rather a welcome moment of fresh air in the midst of the turbulence. It reminds of the knight of dark souls next to the bonfire meme, a moment of rest before returning to the harsh but interesting journey. Speaking of, i know you don't like them but i wish that some day you give an opportunity to videogames, there's some insightful works among them that show their immense potential as an artform, i know that the majority of them specially the famous ones are as deep as a bottle cap, but so are most of the mainstream films these days, overshadowing the good ones. PD: i rarely write things this long in English so i hope I've done well, love your video's pal never stop.
Unfortunately as evil persists to exist one cannot stand still like Gondola, although it is all we wish deep inside. Nothing changes if we take no action, it's a necessary ""evil"".
“idle hands are the devils workshop”
gondola has no hands, and thus is pure
Idle hands are the devil's best friend
yeah unless self suck
It's too perfect

All desires are dissatisfied. Only peace is happy.
Legs and a face. Position and awareness. Gondola is presence as such. He is beyond all ingratitude.
Wow just stumbled upon this, this is how it feels to follow the Tao te Ching, and how I felt reading the I Ching
I love Gondola because of how friendly and calming he is, It just seems like a nice and almost childlike thing you'd come up with bored.
I felt at peace, tranquil and relaxed after watching this meme review. Life can become so hectic sometimes.
Thanks.
He is acceptance of the world as it is. He is the wandering spirit, ever in search of beauty and tranquility. He is at peace with all things he cannot change, which are many, for he is only an observer, not a manipulator. Gondola is a beautiful meme.

Gondola. More art than meme.
Old school 4chan memes are always the best.
i love gondola since i was 13, it's been my little secret meme when i tried to relax or detach myself from reality.
This is one of my most favorite videos ever and I listen to it every couple weeks
Thank you for knowing you matter too
I always come back to it

This is my favourite video of yours yet! I hadn't considered the significance of his lack of arms until you brought it up, really interesting 😁
Gondola is a perfect representation of Finland. Cold, lonely, quite and depressing.
For some reason, gondola always makes me smile
as a finnish person i find it as cold (which i deem as comfortable and protective), calming and happy
Finland sound cool I prefer cold and quiet
@@batsky6061 you say that until you read the suicide statistics.
I’m sure the lack of sunlight and loneliness gets a lot of people down, maybe I just like the idea of it.
Be careful exposing these non-normie memes to the public
Amazing and insightful content as always!
Gondola just makes me smile :DDd

this has always been my favorite meme. theres truly nothing else like it.

Gondola is basically Taoism the meme is there extensionalism the meme

I've spent a few nights listening to the comforting music and seeing gondola right in front of me
We should all aspire to be a little more like Gondola.
Gondola leaves the crust on it's eyes when waking up after a good nights sleep, simply because it has no arms!..
This reminds me of Stoicism philosophy. From what I know, what matters is living in the present fully, and doing your best in the present always. How can this be related to gondola?
this is a good way to be a target of agression, to reject pain doesnt make it disapear.
Thank you Caleb for have acquainted me with Gondola (:
Walking around having discovered enlightenment is the same as regular walking around, just 2 feet off the ground
this was wonderful, thank you
