A good subject to talk about and well worth pointing out that travelling and looking outward, experiencing others’ art or cultures or thoughts (such as through poetry) opens oneself to a wider reality. I think that would make life easier in general.
Thank you very much! I agree, and I thought it was worth pointing that out since a lot of people tend to become arrogant, which is not the answer. Writing or creating art in general, which are journeys in themselves can be very humbling but then can create this ideal state of calm which is the perfect blend between pride and humility. Travelling does that too. That's only my opinion but I'm glad you see things that way as well.
once again, you with brilliant thoughts and very similar to the way I see the world. Leaving our “comfort zone”, meeting people from different backgrounds than ours, is so incredible, inspiring and uplifting! I'm a world traveler, and whenever I can, I like to do volunteer work for people who are more needy and who live a much simpler life than me. This whole journey makes me a better person, increasingly proud of who I have become. I was able to see that being humble is one of the greatest qualities of a human being. Humble people, who don't think they are better than others, have big hearts and make a difference in this world.
Oh yes, thank you very much! That's right, and I want to do that more and more actually! You probably have travelled more than I did, which countries did you visit? I agree with you on that, I think we need to be humble and understand there is still so much more to learn, but we can also be proud of the good things we have achieved. I think that everyone has something unique to bring to the world and the humble part in us should encourage them, but the confident part should also embrace our own qualities.
@@ThePatchUniverse I can say that I am a very lucky person and I had the opportunity to visit: Canada, the United States of America, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Portugal, France, England, Scotland, Holland and Belgium. In Brazil, I know 18 of the 26 states of this immense country. I agree 100% with your thoughts. Humble people know that, every new day, we learn a little more! And we are even wiser if we know how to learn from other people, exchange experiences and thoughts, without saying who is right or wrong, just learning and absorbing that new knowledge.
@@carol.fsilva27 Oh that's great, you visited quite a few places! I visited actually as many or almost as many countries as you, 10, including Belgium, and as you know I lived in different countries, so I stayed a long time in England and the Netherlands. I also stayed a long time in Mexico and Colombia, but not as long. I tend more to travel to few places but stay there a long time. Oh so you visited a lot of your own country too? It's important to see your own country. Belgium is small but I also took the time to visit my own country, and for a small country, it's very diverse, the Netherlands is great, a little bit bigger, but not as diverse in terms of landscapes and cultures as Belgium. That's completely right! I really try to follow that philosophy as much as possible, but I feel that I need to improve that a lot though.
Thanks for the shout out! Very kind of you ^__^ I always enjoy our many different conversations. Pride and Humility are very interesting subjects. Pride is interesting since we have to be careful to not have too much... maybe it's like Sugar? Hahaha I think you will always grow as a person because you actually want to. Many people reach an age and either don't care or believe they have no control over who they are. For me, I had a moment in my life where I was in a very dark place. I could not see all that I had in front of me and realised I was always chasing the future. The problem with that was I was ignoring the NOW. So even if I reached a Goal, the goal became now and I did not know how to appreciate it. I hope that makes sense. Glad you got a nice amount of views on this video as well. Well done. I hope you enjoy your new job and if not, there will always be others. Happy 2024!!
You're very welcome my friend! Same here, I really enjoy our conversations, that's why I thought it was important to talk about your channel. Internet is a means of communication, but often used in the wrong way, if all users were like you, internet would be a better place. That's right, I agree. Sugar is a good example, especially that I'm pretty addicted to it and if I take too much of it, it gives me a headache. Pride is the same, it goes to your guts and your head, and not in a good way if you take too much of it. I think one of the problems with too much pride, or let's call it arrogance, is the inability to perceive other's people point of view and importance in the world. Thank you for that. That's right, I've noticed a lot of arrogance among elderly people when they should be wiser, they have that attitude "I have lived more than you." while forgetting that one day they were our age. Oh yes, I think I remember you talking about that on your other RUclips channel, I think you also talked about the importance of humility, and I fully understand how that can lead you to a dark place. The future is important and so it's important to chase it, but it's equally important to remember to chase the future so it can one day be the present moment, so it makes sense to me that it made you unhappy, the future and even the past, have their role to play, but happiness only lies in the now. Yes, that makes a lot of sense actually, but you are also always learning and now I assume you enjoy the present moment more than before? Thanks a lot! That's right, I noticed this video got a few more views than the others. I actually make videos to have conversations to a few friends like yourself and record my thoughts, evolve them through conversations, the views are a bonus, but if they lead to more such conversations, then it's really great. Thanks a lot, I hope this job will work, but you are right, if not, there will be others. Thanks a lot, happy 2024 to you too my friend!
Hey man. Good to see you too! No, I'm back in Belgium, last year I traveled to New York for two weeks and spent 6 weeks in Colombia. I imagine you are still in Mexico? You live in Guadalajara, right?

Comme promis j'ai regardé ta vidéo ;) J'adore le concept, continue c'est top! Louann (La lumière🤣)
Hey Louann! Merci beaucoup, je vais continuer! Haha oui La lumière, j'attendais ton commentaire.
