I'm 42, this is so true, life is now speeding up for us all. I've wasted so much already and for what, I have nothing to show for my life, I have material things but what I miss is time with family and friends. Everyone's so busy... Too busy to share their time, now we're distant,,,,
i dont wanna be mr obvious, i know this isnt anything mindblowing, but if everyones so buy to share their time and now distant... ..looks like there's only 2 options (i may be wrong): 1-you reach out to them. do you? if you never do, do it. Do quick calls or text message. Offer someone to do something specific. 2-Reach out to/meet new people. There are many people who do wanna connect and do things and value friendships right now. Even ending up with just 1 or 2 new people in your life you see here and there really makes a difference. And it makes you feel quite different, which influences and increases your chances of bettering your life/attracting more/better things in your life. Just thought like possibly giving you a lil boost. you can do this. Like anybody else. Enjoy your weekend~ (do something you enjoy you havent in a while. preferrably in a public place where other people are). You can either stay in the same situation, or once in a while get up and do something different/reach out to other people.
At 48, after devoting the first half of my life to being a wife, nurse, mother, grandmother(living the idea women got told, you can have it all) I realized I had passions about a lot of things I never had time to give to them in the past. At that point I started making changes to live a more purposeful/mindful life. So now at 60, I LIVE the life I love. I ❤️ conversation.
I can relate to your post! At 46 I still struggle with being that perfect wife and mother and stress myself out over really unimportant things - I’m trying to just let it go and enjoy life for the joy of living ❤️
Great Video...Love it. I am 66....When I hit the magic 60 the realization struck me that there was more life in the rear view mirror than in front of me. So, I decided to make better use of my time, do more things, travel more....try new things...I have been lucky that I have travelled extensively in my life and lived in many different countries / cultures. I joined the site "Live a Great Story"....In the early 2000's my wife had breast cancer....we decided right then to not put things off to "Retirement"...so we started doing many of the things we were going to do in Retirement.....I am getting ready to retire next year...and have a long "bucket list" of things to do. My new Mantra I adopted at 60 was...."Adventure Before Dementia"....Thankfully we are both healthy, financially secure (as you can be)....looking forward to retirement.
Some people ruin family life by watching News and raging about all of the problems. It is at epidemic levels and it is dysfunctional, it harms family and relationships. And, then.... It is too Late.
I love this podcast! I can relate to almost everything! I’m 46 and try to juggle being a teacher, wife, mom and a student as I work on my Masters degree ☺️ I’m trying to let go of controlling everything in my life and just letting it unfold naturally. I struggle with being a perfectionist and people pleaser and I realize that stopping and enjoying moment by moment is what truly makes me happy 🙏
"The unexamined life is not worth living." You have to find your calling, your purpose in life. As one grows older, then we don't have energy to do everything or meet everybody. Your sense of calling grounds you. This is who I am, I feel alive when I do this, I contribute to the world when I do this.

I like this interview a lot. First time coming here, and I am impressed with how Dr. Chatterjee listens and does not interrupt. That is very important to me.
Wow this video really resonated with me personally. Many many people live life as if they will live forever. We need to live for today and try and live our best life without over thinking it too much. Great conversation. 👍
Present moment mindful awareness is the closest I ever feel to peacefully experiencing the state of being myself...recovering from a hip replacement took me out of the busy-ness of my life for 12 weeks...that involuntary withdrawal from my usual patterns was startlingly liberating! I reclaimed my experience of my moments.
"waste" is a dangerous word and depend too much by the eye of the beholder. For example someone believing that with death is definitive then yes he is pressed to realize and obtain the most (but then will lose all anyway), if someone believe in eternity then self growing and knowledge are more important.
Another thing that changed in US was moving to the Suburbs. Prior to that there were Family visits, dinners or lunches, etc. Then we lived too far away being in the suburbs , no one wanted to travel that far. Sometimes if the parents were alive and created an open house, having meals and families bringing meals then it could continue. I recall those large Sunday meals and they were good days.
I have found the work , life balance is easier to do when you are older. When you are younger you are building a career, maybe a family..so work comes first... I am 66, one more year to work...then I will retire. In the last 5 years of my working life I took the view of what exactly is my job..what are my responsibilities...and stick to them. Plus what does my Position Description say?....and refuse to get diverted into other areas that are not related to your job. In the Army I was a Technical Warrant Officer....I managed and was the SME on a certain Army System....and that was my work. I had to know a lot about a certain field. Regular Commissioned Officers had to knw a little about a lot of things..so they were constantly stressed out as they could hardly keep up with the information flow.

This was so good ..in my teens I wrote a poem called 'what is time' so this was right up my street ☺️ I was always so annoyed by people's adherence to the ticking clock & tried to understand it all . But growing up I n the 70s time & motion was as the rage & got hooked in to being efficient with time 😂😂..thanks for this 🙏❤️
I very much agree with you and your life experiences - it’s much more about the ways ( the spirit) of how you think-feel-act than a specific technique or specific rules - and yet rituals can be very beautiful stepping stones into moments of “giving yourself totally yet unconditionally” - listen and act from your heart and honor all life - 🙏🌸💛🧡💗💚🐸
When I was a very busy 20 something I had a wise lady casually mention to me that we can do many things good but we can’t do many things great (something like that). To me that sums it up. I’m probably still a little too “busy” at times so this is a nice reminder.
So based on the western concept of life. As a woman who is never drifting with no tv I d say men find it hard to live without their families and partners. My brother said the same when is woman went away. I was sad when Covid hit and I could not see my friends. For me, I left the western ideal when I knew my body needed to dance - to understand folkloric dance in Brazil and Colombia. Still doing that 16 years later. I speak Spanish and Portuguese, I didn’t when I arrived there. I have friends there who I see in Brazil regularly. I work a 4 hour week. I tutor children to help them learn. I paint more than when I had an office job. I help a local charity with their people and HR policies. Lots on. But now I want to make clothes from up cycling …..I m never drifting and I don’t miss the family rhythms as I have a life. I think it is relative……and women have never had the privileges men get so me for i appreciate every single day …….seriou;y….and I m going to stop e mailing - good idea
something i should say, most of this conversation and most others is very male oriented where women are not seeing breaks in work. it is morning to night and all through 'vacation". All of these conversations are as if we had that easy pie life of a male.
I stay at home all day and do what I want and my husband works all day every day from early in the morning until late, he also has an acre of land to keep up plus cars, trash duty, bug spraying duty, pressure washing, etc. I go shopping, antiquing, and on trips with friends but all he does is work. Men don’t have an easy pie of a life. All the couples I know, we have grown kids and the men all work constantly. I can’t imagine thinking all men have an easy as pie life. It might seem that way if you have little kids but it will change.
around 30 or 40 minutes into the talk when you talk about time as not really as we perceive, I have had many similar glimmers of decoding what time really is. I think the clue lies in how our nervous system (and it's associated consciousness that is tied to its activity) operates. Also, there clues (e.g. in some channeled works like Ra) that time exists all in this one instant. On the one hand, our perception of past and future is always held in the present moment, thus giving some credence to the idea that 'all time exists in the now.' But in a 'physics' point of view, this 'eternity existing in an instant' isn't described properly because the word 'instant' evokes the misnomer that there are moments that do not exist in this instant. Therefore let go of the notion that time is what you think it is, and see all of eternity in all of space as a construct of reality made by the brain. ** The creation of Matter allows sequential data to be saved, and this allows symbols to be made and logically evolved in a sequential order. You could see our world as the entirety that your consciousness kind of swims around between related 'points or regions in the n-dimensional matrix' and you choose where you place your 'eyes.' The limitation for each 'consciousness' is that your shifting from one state to the next must be a continuous movement, not discontinuous. this is strictly a mathematical statement, but it can, with deep meditative thought, be percieved as the reality behind time. THIS THOUGHT JUST CAME TO ME SO FORGIVE ME IF IT HAS a CLUMsY EXPRESSION STYLE. Peace everybody and may you enjoy this moment.
I'm early in my 60s and come to realize I don't feel the need to do everything on the so-called Bucket List. I've already been on amazing vacations but if I don't get to travel for many more years that's ok. Seeing other people enjoy their travels on FB, etc, makes me happy for them, not envious.
Talking for an hour and a half about trivia - like this. Waste of time §or not. I lay on the couch and do nothing now ~ age 64 Some of the Best Use of Time I’ve ever made
I was interested how 40 minutes into this interview, Oliver blames "perfectionism" for his "procrastination". Though I am sure if he believes this, it is true for him, it seems to contradict the later conversation about "wasting time". I believe that we can relax and reframe our "procrastination". Distraction and procrastination can be part of our process. Ideas, creations and wisdom can spontaneously occur as we clean, cook, walk, talk to friends.... To be glib there is "perfection in our imperfection" and this applies to our process as much as our goals. Though I have not yet read the book, being present to my life, enjoying my journey and trusting my process is how I want to spend my life. Time is actually, as our Tibetan friends believe, a multi dimensional machine that sooner or later creates enlightened beings. So yes thank you the relative truth is I am at x weeks in this body's journey but I am also simply being, here, now... and always will be.
The Sabbath is not just for the Jewish Community it is for all Christians as it is God's commandment and it is a day that we are encouraged to rest because the Sabbath was made for man. The thought behind that is God created us he knows what's good for us he knows we don't rest on our own it gives us a reason a chance and an excuse to focus on our family enjoy rest and study God. As I'm learning there are a lot of misconceptions about what is Jewish and what is actually for all Hebrews and Israelites and what is for all Christians in general and Believers in Jesus Christ in the Father in heaven. Great show
I agree... Really enjoyed the show..It's interesting that taking a day of rest is a part of the Christian experience ..a time to worship, contemplate, a being with the people that we love the most.We are spiritual beings moving through a human experience.. It begs the question ..What do you want out of life? What is really important?? Maria from Phx, Az
@@jessicasapphire4594 well technically the Sabbath is for everyone who believes in God and the Lord Jesus Christ most years just don't know that to be true they are God's Commandments and God's beasts anybody can celebrate them so technically I'm right
@@jessicasapphire4594 you are right according to the Pharisitical Jew... however if your a graphed in Christian believing in the God of Jacob through JC then you can follow God's command to keep Shabbat. 🙏
Good talks on this Cast. I think a lot of us realize this by 50. Way late. Good for the young living in angst. Certainly for the post 50 crowd living in angst. Those poor devils. Pity the Mooney hoarders post 50
Dr Chatterjee, I have a plethora of questions but just one is how to deal with severe, debilitating and neglected-by-professionals anxiety and depression as a late 20s female adult,when it is literally ruining my life? I do take medication, I do go outside in spite of how harrowing it is a lone living individual in poverty and chronic illness, I do take supplements, I do sleep more than enough, I do take care of myself. I have sought support, I have utilised resources, I have meditated, I have tried my utmost to manage but the harsh reality is that I am not coping, and so I continue to ask people online, professionals like yourself, please, what more can I try? I deserve a better quality of life and time is ticking.
I enjoyed this discussion around time, but like a lot of affluent men discussing productivity, purpose, meaning and life - they use the word 'people'. I think some of the themes they discussed are experienced very differently by women and that's down to a cultural, religious and patriarchal web of systems. Some acknowledgement of that difference and exploratory ideas of this too would have been beneficial. Instead of just mentioning your wives as almost bystanders, I'd have quite preferred their added view in this discussion.
Dr Chatterjee, I am so in love with the colour of your wall paint. Any chance I can know the details please? Thank you Kind regards Kerry from Adelaide South Australia x 💮🌺🌸😇🙏🇦🇺
I'm already ticking off my bucket list, but it only came when i lost both parents then i realised I'm next or should be on paper 📃 time you just can't get back live life everyday
Yes, accepting the fact that you're finite and limited in secondary reality but infinite and unlimited in primary reality (Brahman) IS VERY LIBERATING. All this egoic hand wringing over living the optimal life, leaving your mark on the world, having no regrets etc.... becomes MUCH less important if you possess that perspective/knowledge/belief system
I could make a real good argument that this planet is hell, and we should all be glad to get off it. Humanity is a really bad idea in my opinion - like some mad scientists crazy experiment that went wrong. Yes we are all in this boat and its sinking!
Legalistic it is legalistic for the Shabbat to consider pressing an elevator button lighting a fire it's not supposed to be taken that literal in that context it was more for your daily work if you light a fire to cook food for your daily job that is something you weren't supposed to do if you're pressing a button in the elevator it's completely fine it does get taken out of context
FOMO. That's what you're talking about and it seems generational. My generation was all about planning but the generation after mine seems to struggle with RSVPing to just about anything. We gave them a 24/7 timeline with everything "on demand". I suspect that makes time more precious because you're presented with so many choices. A very interesting conversation. I think I may listen to this a few times...if I can spare the time. 😉
My only issue is each episode is too long. I can’t listen any of the episodes start to finish. Time is not the only issue it’s the attention is as well.
Then save/share to text, listen for as long as feels good, stop - and come back and listen more later. It's the only way I can really enjoy and learn from these amazing sessions
At Minute 32, Oliver is describing the Over-reliance upon instrumental reason. This leads to alienation, loss of creativity and even love itself.An extremely dangerous faculty to be sure.
The critical life choice of one vacation spot over another is truly an extremely perplexing dilemma 😂 C'mon man, that's pretty superfluous in my view. Personally I'm highly driven by personal self care on all levels physically/cognitively, mentally/emotionally and spiritually and there are SO MANY tools, techniques, and resources to maintain and enhance your life in those areas that it's difficult to decide what to leave in and what to leave out. Of course, taking relaxing and pleasurable vacations can definitely be a part o of that mix but I think if your stressing on not being able to be visit every destination you desire then you may have some inner work to do and perhaps you should stress on that possibility a bit more.

Anyone have advice for a 32 year old thinking about suicide? Something other than see a professional or get help. I won't ever do it, but I am in such a state of despair in my life that time is moving so fast now I can't keep up. I have dreams of making music, but I feel too old now. So many regrets. I should have started 10 years ago but people discouraged me and I kind of gave up.
Conception then Birth. Life begins! What else do we Do longer then live? So life’s short…. How about, : your definitely going to die, is there anything you want to do before you kick the bucket? because the older you get, the closer you are to never breathing again while doing what you want with those you love. Plus None of us are guaranteed a tomorrow, are You sure you can wait until then. I’m just not sure how to worry about stuff, while trying to think that life is short. It’s not? Look at you ya have gray hair already. It takes forever to finally get some of that hair! Life’s short, y’all are funny
This was abject torture, fundamentally human species was subjected to the abject horrors of industrialisation, dehumanised and forced to interact with machines, physically and cognitively, all in the service of what became a new religion, Capitalism. We need to trundle backwards to before to see where a better life may exist, more in keeping with our slowly evolving species. The modern world, though for many in the west not as physically arduous is even more demanding on our psyches. These to men are utterly brainwashed and are intellectualising from the foundations of there conditioned mind, talking as if implementing numerous strategies may be the key to a better internal life, but it is the very foundation that is erroneous and unnatural, there is no word play, hacks, slight changes in perception, amendments, alterations, fixes, the conditioning and system is rotten to the core. Humans only struggle to be humans as they have been conditioned and subjugated from birth to be part of a controlled societal framework that is orchestrated and controlled. It’s as if we no longer no who or what we are, just like any other animal we try to force to not be itself, mentally and physically caged, promoting anxiety and depression. The key is just in being and then what!

I think the clue lies in how our nervous system (and it's associated consciousness that is tied to its activity) operates. Also, there clues (e.g. in some channeled works like Ra) that time exists all in this one instant. On the one hand, our perception of past and future is always held in the present moment, thus giving some credence to the idea that 'all time exists in the now.'
But in a 'physics' point of view, this 'eternity existing in an instant' isn't described properly because the word 'instant' evokes the misnomer that there are moments that do not exist in this instant. Therefore let go of the notion that time is what you think it is, and see all of eternity in all of space as a construct of reality made by the brain. ** The creation of Matter allows sequential data to be saved, and this allows symbols to be made and logically evolved in a sequential order. You could see our world as the entirety that your consciousness kind of swims around between related 'points or regions in the n-dimensional matrix' and you choose where you place your 'eyes.' The limitation for each 'consciousness' is that your shifting from one state to the next must be a continuous movement, not discontinuous. this is strictly a mathematical statement, but it can, with deep meditative thought, be percieved as the reality behind time. THIS THOUGHT JUST CAME TO ME SO FORGIVE ME IF IT HAS a CLUMsY EXPRESSION STYLE. Peace everybody and may you enjoy this moment.
It is a wonderful opportunity to listen and observe your revelation!!! Thank you for sharingb^it.....more for us to ponder....
I'm early in my 60s and come to realize I don't feel the need to do everything on the so-called Bucket List. I've already been on amazing vacations but if I don't get to travel for many more years that's ok. Seeing other people enjoy their travels on FB, etc, makes me happy for them, not envious.
I m coming off watts app and social media as I hate it ….got a retaliation but I like my invisibility and the time I have for my art and life
Great book fully recommend!
watched this at 1.75x speed and.... done! thanks for this video Rangan. GOAT KIPCHOGUE. He is an inspiration for sure!
1.5 speed was perfect
Great thank you
Talking for an hour and a half about trivia - like this.
Waste of time §or not.

Some of the Best Use of Time I’ve ever made
I was interested how 40 minutes into this interview, Oliver blames "perfectionism" for his "procrastination". Though I am sure if he believes this, it is true for him, it seems to contradict the later conversation about "wasting time". I believe that we can relax and reframe our "procrastination". Distraction and procrastination can be part of our process. Ideas, creations and wisdom can spontaneously occur as we clean, cook, walk, talk to friends.... To be glib there is "perfection in our imperfection" and this applies to our process as much as our goals. Though I have not yet read the book, being present to my life, enjoying my journey and trusting my process is how I want to spend my life. Time is actually, as our Tibetan friends believe, a multi dimensional machine that sooner or later creates enlightened beings. So yes thank you the relative truth is I am at x weeks in this body's journey but I am also simply being, here, now... and always will be.
The Sabbath is not just for the Jewish Community it is for all Christians as it is God's commandment and it is a day that we are encouraged to rest because the Sabbath was made for man. The thought behind that is God created us he knows what's good for us he knows we don't rest on our own it gives us a reason a chance and an excuse to focus on our family enjoy rest and study God. As I'm learning there are a lot of misconceptions about what is Jewish and what is actually for all Hebrews and Israelites and what is for all Christians in general and Believers in Jesus Christ in the Father in heaven. Great show
I agree... Really enjoyed the show..It's interesting that taking a day of rest is a part of the Christian experience ..a time to worship, contemplate, a being with the people that we love the most.We are spiritual beings moving through a human experience.. It begs the question ..What do you want out of life? What is really important??

@@danielyoung8775 Amen to that very insightful and true!
He has a lot of good guests on and they get you thinking!
Technically you’re wrong. A nonjew keeping shabbat was penalized with a death penalty whereas a jew who DOESNT keep shabbat got a death penalty
@@jessicasapphire4594 well technically the Sabbath is for everyone who believes in God and the Lord Jesus Christ most years just don't know that to be true they are God's Commandments and God's beasts anybody can celebrate them so technically I'm right
@@jessicasapphire4594 you are right according to the Pharisitical Jew... however if your a graphed in Christian believing in the God of Jacob through JC then you can follow God's command to keep Shabbat. 🙏
Good talks on this Cast.
I think a lot of us realize this by 50. Way late.
Good for the young living in angst. Certainly for the post 50 crowd living in angst. Those poor devils.
Pity the Mooney hoarders post 50
Dr Chatterjee,
I have a plethora of questions but just one is how to deal with severe, debilitating and neglected-by-professionals anxiety and depression as a late 20s female adult,when it is literally ruining my life?
I do take medication, I do go outside in spite of how harrowing it is a lone living individual in poverty and chronic illness, I do take supplements, I do sleep more than enough, I do take care of myself.
I have sought support, I have utilised resources, I have meditated, I have tried my utmost to manage but the harsh reality is that I am not coping, and so I continue to ask people online, professionals like yourself, please, what more can I try?
I deserve a better quality of life and time is ticking.
I enjoyed this discussion around time, but like a lot of affluent men discussing productivity, purpose, meaning and life - they use the word 'people'. I think some of the themes they discussed are experienced very differently by women and that's down to a cultural, religious and patriarchal web of systems. Some acknowledgement of that difference and exploratory ideas of this too would have been beneficial. Instead of just mentioning your wives as almost bystanders, I'd have quite preferred their added view in this discussion.
Dr Chatterjee,
I am so in love with the colour of your wall paint. Any chance I can know the details please?
Thank you
Kind regards

I'm already ticking off my bucket list, but it only came when i lost both parents then i realised I'm next or should be on paper 📃 time you just can't get back live life everyday
I agree with the impact of losing both parents. Live life the best you can.
@@mrsjoannecw thanks very much & likewise 💯
I m french and loved the "french paradox" part 😅😅
I might have, with luck, 520 weeks left. now, i can focus.
Yes, accepting the fact that you're finite and limited in secondary reality but infinite and unlimited in primary reality (Brahman) IS VERY LIBERATING. All this egoic hand wringing over living the optimal life, leaving your mark on the world, having no regrets etc.... becomes MUCH less important if you possess that perspective/knowledge/belief system
I believe sauerkraut (appreciated in the EU and Asia etc) has the same universality as collective 'tea breaks' in society.
What do you think?
A future heaven creates a present hell.
I could make a real good argument that this planet is hell, and we should all be glad to get off it. Humanity is a really bad idea in my opinion - like some mad scientists crazy experiment that went wrong. Yes we are all in this boat and its sinking!
Don't worry we WILL get those years again but they likely will all be exactly the same again or at least very similar.
Legalistic it is legalistic for the Shabbat to consider pressing an elevator button lighting a fire it's not supposed to be taken that literal in that context it was more for your daily work if you light a fire to cook food for your daily job that is something you weren't supposed to do if you're pressing a button in the elevator it's completely fine it does get taken out of context
FOMO. That's what you're talking about and it seems generational. My generation was all about planning but the generation after mine seems to struggle with RSVPing to just about anything. We gave them a 24/7 timeline with everything "on demand". I suspect that makes time more precious because you're presented with so many choices. A very interesting conversation. I think I may listen to this a few times...if I can spare the time. 😉
I don’t need to lead ….cool. Need for external validation - we are told we need to be heard and seen. Do we really ?
❤️
My only issue is each episode is too long. I can’t listen any of the episodes start to finish. Time is not the only issue it’s the attention is as well.
I think a shorts channel or playlist with some insights is a good idea, for those who don't want the whole interview.
Increase playback speed to 1.25 or 1.5 times
These are all very good ideas. Thank you
Then save/share to text, listen for as long as feels good, stop - and come back and listen more later. It's the only way I can really enjoy and learn from these amazing sessions
My art and 20 pictures for me to exhibit ….I have 6 and am on 7 as of yesterday.

What number is this in the Podcast ?
I’d like to listen to the audio there. 🙂
At Minute 32, Oliver is describing the Over-reliance upon instrumental reason. This leads to alienation, loss of creativity and even love itself.An extremely dangerous faculty to be sure.
Hey. I think he is describing Retirement -
Middle class problems.... Where too go? too many choices!!! 😅
35:38 very interesting.
10,000 emails? I have over 20,000 just in the inbox and many more in other folders...
The critical life choice of one vacation spot over another is truly an extremely perplexing dilemma 😂 C'mon man, that's pretty superfluous in my view. Personally I'm highly driven by personal self care on all levels physically/cognitively, mentally/emotionally and spiritually and there are SO MANY tools, techniques, and resources to maintain and enhance your life in those areas that it's difficult to decide what to leave in and what to leave out. Of course, taking relaxing and pleasurable vacations can definitely be a part o of that mix but I think if your stressing on not being able to be visit every destination you desire then you may have some inner work to do and perhaps you should stress on that possibility a bit more.
Interesting remember that “you can only really see with the eye of the heart “ the wisdom you can find in Sacred Songs, fairy tales, poetry, litterature and many techniques of arts and much more - Read H.C. Andersen , Saint Exuoery Le petit Prince …..🎶💜🎵🦄

Anyone have advice for a 32 year old thinking about suicide? Something other than see a professional or get help. I won't ever do it, but I am in such a state of despair in my life that time is moving so fast now I can't keep up. I have dreams of making music, but I feel too old now. So many regrets. I should have started 10 years ago but people discouraged me and I kind of gave up.
Go out in the sunlight for atleast 2 hours a day. Do nsdr 15 min 3 times a day. Quit social media and mindless surfing,porn & other drugs
huh
I AM OLD
Conception then Birth. Life begins! What else do we Do longer then live? So life’s short…. How about, : your definitely going to die, is there anything you want to do before you kick the bucket? because the older you get, the closer you are to never breathing again while doing what you want with those you love. Plus None of us are guaranteed a tomorrow, are You sure you can wait until then. I’m just not sure how to worry about stuff, while trying to think that life is short. It’s not? Look at you ya have gray hair already. It takes forever to finally get some of that hair! Life’s short, y’all are funny
Human brian and money===fail.
This was abject torture, fundamentally human species was subjected to the abject horrors of industrialisation, dehumanised and forced to interact with machines, physically and cognitively, all in the service of what became a new religion, Capitalism. We need to trundle backwards to before to see where a better life may exist, more in keeping with our slowly evolving species. The modern world, though for many in the west not as physically arduous is even more demanding on our psyches. These to men are utterly brainwashed and are intellectualising from the foundations of there conditioned mind, talking as if implementing numerous strategies may be the key to a better internal life, but it is the very foundation that is erroneous and unnatural, there is no word play, hacks, slight changes in perception, amendments, alterations, fixes, the conditioning and system is rotten to the core. Humans only struggle to be humans as they have been conditioned and subjugated from birth to be part of a controlled societal framework that is orchestrated and controlled. It’s as if we no longer no who or what we are, just like any other animal we try to force to not be itself, mentally and physically caged, promoting anxiety and depression. The key is just in being and then what!

Blah blah . And then he goes home and has a beer of coffee and feels just as alone on earth as everyone else . He gets happy sad mad glad bored like everyone else .
Takes too long to get to the point. A lot of fluff and no substance. These provide more information and be concise.
