A truly excellent video. Perhaps you might consider doing a video on Thomas Mann. I know he was heavily influenced by Nietzsche and the ancient Greeks.
It’s ignorantly assumed that ‘one does not exist’ after death...and that, ‘death deprives us of life’. How do we know that what we call ‘death’ is not more appropriately thought of as ‘door’ to ever existent ‘life’ of the ‘soul’...the consciousness we know as ‘ourselves’? That’s how MOST great thinkers and cultures of antiquity regarded ‘death’...sumerians, egyptians, sythians. Death as an ‘end’ is only recently been popularized by the nihilistic materialist philosophies that have undermined all alternative thought.
the greeks used to do this, in their temples, everyday people would enter into their temples and experience "death" and that gave them more happiness in living in everyday lives. Totally amazing video
Each day is a little life because each waking and rising is a little birth And each going to sleep is a little death. Life is a loan from death With sleep as daily interest.
@@satnamo That is basically why we should live one day at a time, as if each day was our last day, because, in the end of the day, "sleep is just the end being shy", like a smaller passing away each day in preparation for the certain final ending. One day, when you be prepared to fall asleep without any regrets or expectations for waking up, that is the same day that you will realize that you are prepared for the real final sleep.
I have never seen anyone do that in real life because most people are too busy. I'm going to be the first one to ever do it, death should be very afraid of me. Michael 😎

I'm 63, I've had several very close brushes with death in my life including a freak, near- fatal traffic accident at 21, in which by all rights I should have died. It wasn't a conscious decision, but I just don't fear death anymore. However, the thought or possibility of my wife of 30 years dying (before me) terrifies me no end...
I recently lost my wife of 23 years at the young age of 56. I feel like we were both robbed of another 20yrs together and I miss her terribly. Death however was a blessing for her as she was in severe pain the last six months of her life and slowly became disabled unable to walk,sit up or even roll over by herself by the end of her life. She really wasn't living in that state. She had been diagnosed with arthritis and although I feared it was something worse I never gave up hope that she would get better and we went to the doctor twice a month for the last six months. Finally they did a cscan and found that she had been eat up with cancer which was the root of her problem. I broke down sobbing but my wife didn't even flinch. They admitted her into hospice that same day and she died a week later. I believe that our souls live on but even if I'm wrong I know she's no longer in pain. There are a few things I would do differently if I could but mainly it's the things I wish I had done that bothers me. Cherish every moment with your loved ones because we never know when our time will come and once someone is gone any opportunity to tell them how you feel is passed. May God bless you and your wife with many more years of living your lives as if it were your last
@@timrice65 I feel so sorry for you and your wife, but that explains many popular sayings: "Give flowers to individuals when they are still alive." "She was already gone long ago in the inside." "Endings can also be blessings." "Hope for the better makes all efforts worth."
@@timrice65 i think I can somehow relate because I lost my mother three days ago due to diabetic complications. Like your wife she also suffered terribly during the last one and half years of her life and was bedridden having been reduced to a mere skeleton. Not only did she lose one leg but also the remaining one only a year apart and i somehow feel relieved that my mom is no longer suffering. Caring for her with my dad for her all these years i deep down knew her time on this earth was growing short but when it finally happens it all feels like a nightmare.
"I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it." Mark Twain
You have just never come into existence you’ve experienced absolutely nothing in all sense of the word now that you’re alive and experiencing it’s just gonna revert to the same thing for eternity depending on you think about it. That’s a great comfort or a great fear.
My opinion on fear of death: why people often fear death is because what lies beyond it. It is unknown to us and we humans or mortals are often feared of something we do not know. The fear of unknown.
Wow! Jung had a classic NDE! I did not know this! That explains so much! Just gonna drop this here: There have been verifiable accounts of conscious existence both before birth and after objectively detected death. The argument that coming back to life means they weren't really dead is irrelevant. All methods and means that we have to detect death at the time of death showed DEATH! None of this denies nor invalidates our need to come to terms with approaching death while we live. I'm 59. I have stage 4 cancer. I have no idea if I'm going to reach 60. And that's okay. I can only do my best for the rest of my time here. No one gets outta here alive.
For every beginning there is an end and that the joy of life Life is a journey but it's a wonderful one full of memories and encounters i am grateful that i have acquired this meaning now (I am 17) i hope you are doing well Stay strong 💪.
I lost my mother recently and having contemplated on all the suffering she endured during her final years due to sickness, I've found myself often wondering what meaning if any death and suffering have. Neither my mother nor i are fond of religious way of assigning meaning so it's important that i address these questions rather than sweep them under the rug. I must say I'm glad i found this channel at last.
Death used to be one of our greatest fears in life right up with abandonment and never being enough. Then after being late diagnosed with autism we very slowly started to realize we were always enough we just had no one around to teach us that growing up. Around three-four months before we were disowned we started to develop nightly physically painful panic attacks, and The Grim Reaper started visiting us every single night. It felt like my life up until meeting him was the real hell, and he was testing me to see if I was strong enough to leave it. I genuinely thought I would die every night, it was that painful, but Death became a consistent comfort. Then when I was disowned by my narcissistic father, I knew that is why Death started haunting me. Around a year later my grim reaper adopted me as his spiritual son once I was equal to him and had proven that. I don’t fear death anymore. Because my Death, means everything to me.
Anxiety is the common response to mortality; inspiration is the rare response, channeling the affects of the dying process by becoming in sync with the creative process. A redistribution of the accumulated negative entropic energy into creation.
To die But not to perish Is to be eternally present. The potential spiritual energy that lays dormant in my center of mass is transformed into kinetic energy through the forces of practice. Therefore, we work for Nirvana- That blessed state of heavenly calm obtained by expiation.
I’m 20yrs old and not really religious, but I’ve thought about death for the longest time I couldn’t come to terms with it. But I now understand it, or at least accept it.
8:40 Death is a natural process and should not be feared. 14:28 Death is not an end, but a goal. 15:50 One who has placed his faith in archetype follows the tracks of life, and lives right into his death. He lives WITH his instincts. Myth is something we create through observing our psychic life - through active imagination, dream, intuitions and synchronicities (meaningful coincidences). Bringing ones unconsciousness into consciousness shifts the focus from the ego to the Self. 18:39 The moment Jung achieved his goal, he accessed the transcendent.
Das greatest fear is the fear of death. But deat is nothing to me because When I am here Death is not here; And when death is here I am not here. Was that life ? I want to say to death. Well then!
There's nothing tragic about the fact we all die. Our ego fights against this obvious conclusion as part of our journey. The real tragedy is when a man does not accept this inevitability. To accept the reality of death is to become truly humble.
I was expecting something else, but was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the presentation, especially the artwork. Looking forward to hearing more.
I've always thought life is a lesson that we learn with others and our loved ones, to teach us about the next life. I have seen such perfect beauty in my dreams, and I absolutely feel that is what awaits us when we pass on.
I believe there can be no beginning and and no end. Looking at the four cycles without the illusion of time; there are infinite recurring cycles of death, change, rebirth and life. So if we enter death we are death so it is nothing separated from me. That idea liberates me, seeing death as myself and not something to dread or fear. I am death.
Due to the topic of the video there must be some viewers who have too close of experience with death. In my case I have PTSD from having had cancer. Before I managed to survive the doctors told me it was the end and I had “2 years at most”. I cannot describe the horror that happens in a person’s mind when it happens to you. Unless you are faced with something like this you don’t know how bad it is. After my experience i cannot casually watch movies that trivialize death or even casually play video games where people are killed. It made me realize that people can be entirely de-sensitized to seeing, hearing, or thinking about death without ever being able to understand people who face it.
I think this de-sensitization is also there when we think of animals being killed. For them I think they would feel the same visceral horror as a human when their life is taken away
I stopped fearing death after I had children. I now understand that I only have my time in the sun because those that came before me enjoyed their time and then made room for me by dying. I will make way for all those to come after me as well. I'm not afraid or unset about this. I'm grateful.
“Death is the most misunderstood phenomenon. People have thought of death as the end of life. That is the first, basic misunderstanding.
“Death is not the end, but the beginning of a new life. Yes, it is an end of something that is already dead. It is also a crescendo of what we call life, although very few know what life is. They live, but they live in such ignorance that they never encounter their own life. And it is impossible for these people to know their own death, because death is the ultimate experience of this life, and the beginning experience of another. Death is the door between two lives; one is left behind, one is waiting ahead.
“There is nothing ugly about death; but man, out of his fear, has made even the word, death ugly and unutterable. People don’t like to talk about it. They won’t even listen to the word death.
“The fear has reasons. The fear arises because it is always somebody else who dies. You always see death from the outside, and death is an experience of the innermost being. It is just like watching love from the outside. You may watch for years, but you will not come to know anything of what love is. You may come to know the manifestations of love, but not love itself. We know the same about death. Just the manifestations on the surface - the breathing has stopped, the heart has stopped, the man as he used to talk and walk is no more there: just a corpse is lying there instead of a living body.
“These are only outer symptoms. Death is the transfer of the soul from one body to another body, or in cases when a man is fully awakened, from one body to the body of the whole universe. It is a great journey, but you cannot know it from the outside. From outside, only symptoms are available; and those symptoms have made people afraid.
“Those who have known death from inside lose all fear of death.
Everybody Is Afraid of Death
“Everybody is afraid of death for the simple reason that we have not tasted of life yet. The man who knows what life is, is never afraid of death; he welcomes death. Whenever death comes he hugs death, he embraces death, he welcomes death, he receives death as a guest. To the man who has not known what life is, death is an enemy; and to the man who knows what life is, death is the ultimate crescendo of life.
“But everybody is afraid of death; that too is contagious. Your parents are afraid of death, your neighbors are afraid of death. Small children start getting infected by this constant fear all around. Everybody is afraid of death. People don’t even want to talk about death.
“There have been only two taboos in the world: sex and death. It is very strange why sex and death have been the two taboos not to be talked about, to be avoided. They are deeply connected. Sex represents life because all life arises out of sex, and death represents the end. And both have been taboo - don’t talk about sex and don’t talk about death.”
@@satnamo Maybe in psychological pain man thinks about its positivity, but never in the case of biological pain. The immediate reaction of my body against pain and its sensation to my existence would be unbearable indeed.
I remember when Larry Hagman was having health issues back in the early 90's. Something he said during an interview always stood out to me. He said "I don't fear death, I fear pain".
I'm not feared of pain either but at times uncertainty of pain evolve into bigger than our bodys and minds couldnt handle it anymore till we die this is extreme pain tats fearfull
Keep up the good hard work, these well planned out videos display quality and people get a lot out of it, most of your videos hardly ever get dislikes. Keep on enlightening others!
The purpose of existence is to kindle a light in das darkness of mere interbeing human on spaceship earth. He who has not kindled his own light Cannot illuminate others
This closet has a door that never fully closes but never really bothers one either. Once again, thank you so much for approaching another topic with an angle that resonates so much with me and all the others that are here.
I liked this but I think most philosophical discussions miss something on death. 99% of the emotion we encounter about death is not fear of death but grief over the death of others.
It depends on the person and on their age. I for one, have contemplated my death since I was a boy because when I was in that stage of my life, someone young in my family died. It affected me deeply and thus for the longest time would think about the death of everyone I ever knew, constantly. I felt no fear in contemplating my own death. It is only in my 20s that the fear has surfaced. Just because you don't currently fear death doesn't mean you never will. I have learned that lesson.
We tend to only give value to something only after we realize that there is a possibility of losing that same something, this applies to basically anything in existence, besides existence itself.
What I always find striking that people that are born with a deadly/progressive desease in general fear suffering more then death, healthy people fear death more. Matter of life experience and perspective.
When the fear of life outweighs the terror of death A man will commit suicide. But suicide is a cowardly act because the biggest failure of life is losing oneself since man is a god in ruin.
@@satnamo only from a perspective of the one who isn't suffering........do you really think that people who don't even care about their own life, will care about some stranger thinking of them as coward?.. the one's alive will always try to justify their existence till the end and think of the one's who refuse to do that as cowardly and try to demean their values as much as possible.......why do you think that you as a person, eating pooping and breathing for few more decades is greater than the one's who log out early? The man who create something meaningful, the man who die for their country, the man who aquire all pleasures of life, the man who commits crimes, the man who becomes the victim of those said crime, the man who begs all his life just to survive and the man who help that begger, these all are the same and neither are greater or lesser than one another. Suicide is just another choice, neither heroic nor cowardly
@@liteviews4493 thank you for putting all my thoughts in such a succinct manner , everytime I hear people referring to those who commit suicide as "cowards " I just shake my head coz I know it's their existential ego talking
The remaining quote of Bruce Lee's "Like water..." is " Like everyone else you want to find a way to win...never excepting the way to lose...to except defeat...to learn to die is to be liberated from it. So when tomorrow comes you must free your ambitious mind and learn the art of dying. "

Great content, thank you! The argument about laziness when talking about eternal life doesn't have much impact to me since it typically revolves around the idea that people wouldn't "make the most out of every day" if there wasn't a definite and unavoidable end. My problem with this point is that Death exists and has been part of our experience forever, but people still don't make the most out of their time at all! People already procrastinate even though they know for a fact it's bad for them in their situation so what's the difference? Also, eternal life still entails that you need to survive (it's not like invincibility or something), so people would certainly have plenty to do with their time. The focus on productivity would most likely relax quite a bit (for a moment), but the stress of having enough capital to keep living would probably come and push productivity in the fore front of people's lives again... What we need isn't eternal life, but a better capacity to accept and to adapt to our environment (physical, cultural, social)
Ultimately I’m afraid of leaving love ones behind that may need my protection and guidance. Ironically in the face of death Id be more afraid of the future than the present. Which now that I think about it my fear of death is simply my fear of the future in disguise. Which now that I think about it my fear of the future is birth by my desire to be needed and wanted which makes my value of life completely determined on how other people value me. This can easily explain why my entire life I have always try to appeal to people even if they did not like me or I did not relate to them, that is also probably why my entire life criticism has always mentally affected me. After recently graduating from high school I have begun to learn how to only allow those who actually mean something to me determine my value of life, but that scares me because unlike materialistic objects life can be taken and impossible to replace. Which now that I think about it that can be perceived as me fearing death. Ultimately I’ve come to the conclusion that life and death are both terrifying and beautiful, they serve their purpose which makes me wonder if they were design that way by a God, and if they were an after life now seems implausible. Edit: I wrote this comment before watching the video I have to say I agree with Ernest Becker at 5:57 I do that, I never thought of it as narcissistic but it kind of is.
I feel that death is not the thing that is scary, but what becomes of after death. I feel that many have the sense that we are more than just the flesh, so if we have a soul or spirit
Science has abandoned the widely held notion that nothing awaits after death. I am unconcerned with death, because death has happened to so many people I have known in life. Death is inevitable, but so is what happens next, which madness failed to grasp. Thanks for this.
Underneath the fear of death is the primal wound, which is the wound of non being. The ego fears non being and non existence. The primal wound is a deep complex. After one drains, purges, and integrates the unconscious shadow and anima, a process which takes decades of inner work, what one finds is a gaping wound in the Soul. This wound is the primal wound. What humans truly fears is non being. On the other side of the primal wound is the immortal Self Core...or what Sri Aurobindo called the "Psychic Being". This is the Core of the Soul and it is located deep inside the heart. This Core radiates Spirit and Consciousness. This is the Source of our Self. To realize this Core is to realize one's immortal Self.
I try and think of it like this, when we were in the womb of our carrier (mother) we were pretty much comfy it was the only world we knew, and we had food delivered directly to us (umbilical cord) then after a few months something really strange happened and we felt like it was a death experience so disturbing to the point of total shock so we pop out loud/crying it was a dramatic moment a huge change.. I feel like death is the same way it’s a terrible few mins and then a new world
Das secret of death is letting go because das highest wisdom lies in detachment. Empty myself of everything And let my heart be at peace. Exercise and peace of mind are the key to a healthy and peaceful life because there is no happiness higher than rest. Break das flower-tipped arrow of Mara And death will never touch me again. Painful is birth. Painful is death. Painful is birth and death over and over again. There is no pain like this body; He who truly knows this is near unto nirvana- De complete destruction of old age and of dying.
In my experience throughout living, it's that people want to keep each other alive for as long as one can. Like if a loved one is suffering, let them go. Death has always been part of my daily vocabulary. To some, it's taboo and needs to be extinguished and tucked away. If I'm going to die, I'm going to fkn die. Let me sleep. I've come near death several times and I'm 30 years of age. I dream death and sometimes have nightmares about it. My philosophy is: if a living person is afraid to die, then a dead person must be afraid to live fully.
The monotheistic religions guessed an Earth that was way too young, the reincarnation religions guessed an Earth which was way too old... I live because of my body. I have intelligence and the ability to feel because of evolution. It doesn't mean I live forever. This is such a sad place.
What is the meaning of death? = The same as the meaning of life, both are inside your head not outside. I never saw death walking, I never saw life swimming.
To assume that consciousness ends at death is just as flawed a position to hold as it is to assume that consciousness continues indefinitely. In this, we are all agnostic. If we are intellectually honest, all we can say is, "I don't know." How do the calculations change if _that_ is one's starting point?
I’ve been understanding death for myself to be a gateway to life… We die everyday. Through death of one’s self, we discover true life. Death is a natural part of life and should be embraced, not feared. Only the ego fears death. Allow your old self to die, so you can allow your true self to live. And when the end goal comes, there will be nothing to fear.
I would say if death is analagous to the prior abyss, then the real questions lie in how to live a meaningful life. Even despite being an insignificant microcosm in the grand scheme of things. Great video! As an undergrad I wrote my Philosophy capstone on some overlapping topics.
Matthew 10 : 28 (KJV) - And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
You should live one day at a time, as if each day was your last day, because, in the end of the day, "sleep is just the end being shy", like a smaller passing away each day in preparation for the certain final ending. One day, when you be prepared to fall asleep without any regrets or expectations for waking up, that is the same day that you will realize that you are prepared for the real final sleep.
I already understand that when someone dies they will actually stay gone permanently, whether we want to or not and no matter how good the person is, and we can't even remember any moments that happened when they were still alive because that is the past and it's not the same as the present or future, but I still wish that some people didn't die because I feel like I should suffer since I can never see them again. In fact, I wish that people can't die by accidents because that is even worse than if they die naturally by being too old... Actually, as a matter of fact, I think death shouldn't even exist because I don't know why people are eventually going to stay dead forever when they get too old if no one wants that to happen. I decided to name here every person I know who died, and why I wish they were still alive. 1. Radomirka Dačević, also known as Grandma Rada, is my neighbor. She was born on March 2nd 1944 and died on April 17th 2016, which means she died 7 years ago. The thing that makes her such a good person is that she had a really nice personality and always babysat me when I was alone. 2. Miodrag Stojiljković, better known as Grandpa Dragi, is my maternal grandfather. He was born on July 20th 1945 and died on August 22nd 2018, that was 5 years ago. He was also such a great person. 3. Dragiša Alabić, also known as Grandpa Gile, is my paternal grandfather. He was born on August 13th 1935 and died a long time ago before I was born, on June 20th 1989. He was only 53 years old, so he actually died due to a car accident and not by being too old. 4. Miodrag Mišković, better known as Grandpa Miško, is the maternal grandfather of my paternal cousins Nikola and Nemanja Alabić, as well as their maternal cousins Stefan and Irena Đorđević. He was born on August 24th 1935 and died in 2015, I just don't know exactly when. I don't really know he acted like when he was still alive because I haven't usually seen him, but I think he would be good. 5. Petar Mančić, better known as Grandpa Pera, is my neighbor. He was born in 1944 and died either on July 25th or 27th 2023. 6. Milica, or Grandma Milica, is the great-grandmother of my godfather Nenad Filipović. I don't know what is her last name or date of birth and death. 7. Zagorka Jelesijević, also known as Grandma Zaga, is my neighbor who used to live in the second house of the Dragan Petrović 12 Street, or as we call it Kolonija. She and her husband Aleksije Jelesijević, better known as Grandpa Leka, approximately moved to live in the Gavrilo Princip Street while their granddaughter Nataša lived in Kolonija with her husband Nikola and their children Mladen and Milena. This means that Grandma Zaga and Grandpa Leka are actually the great-grandparents of Mladen and Milena. I don't know when Grandma Zaga was born, but I do know that she died 3 years ago in 2020, I just don't know exactly when. 8. Grandpa Leka also died this year on July 30th 2023. He is definitely the person that I mostly didn't want to die because I think he had a very positive and nice attitude and I remember so many moments when he was still alive, but sadly he did die due to one disease that I don't know which. He was born in 1937, but I don't know exactly which day. I haven't usually seen him or Grandma Zaga when they were still alive. The last time I have ever seen him was when my father and I went to his house when Grandma Zaga died. Okay, now I'm going to tell you a few other facts about why I wish that death wasn't real. 1. On May 31st 2017, I went on a field trip to a city in Serbia known as Vrnjačka Banja in fifth grade school. My class elder told me that there was one kid who climbed a building there but accidentally fell and died. Now this is definitely one of the people that I especially think shouldn't have died because the kid was literally too young and it happens really rare when someone dies by accidents. 2. I was once going back home from school and I saw 3 dead cats on the streets who were probably run over by a car. Now this is probably the weirdest and most illegal things that ever could've happened as cats have 9 lives... I mean, not really, people only say that because they die hard. They only don't take fall damage. 3. When I went to my village one time, some people murdered a pig so they would get its meat, but I think that people shouldn't kill animals, I think they should stay alive like us humans.
I have spent over 20 years researching and working with people on this topic and I am totally convinced that death as we have been taught to believe is a lie. We are energy and energy never dies. My work examining the natural way of death is that nothing in nature dies, it simply shape-shifts and takes on a new form. We should be listening to physicists instead of psychologists, philosophers, and fear-mongering religions who seek to control us. Also, this video as usual gathers up the same suspects to serve as authorities on the subject, often unable to move beyond the same European perspectives, while ignoring many fascinating works from other cultures. In closing, I believe there is a transition and a rebirth for eternity....the seed of immortality is firmly planted within our being. This is not something I simply believe, I know it to be, therefore I may leave this place, give up my face, but I am denying the concept of death we've been so wrongly taught.
"We are energy and energy never dies" Energy is not a conscious entity. Hence, it doesn't posses neither life nor death. 20 years of wasted time. If you are still alive i recommend studying Islam objectively from its primary sources. Don't waste your afterlife.
human beings are irrational, without any exeptions among sages, enlightened. the mind can trick itself to accept death, but the mind is tied to a body that is going to push you through survival in an instant, regardless of the time it took you to find peace.
I think there's an intrinsic fallacy in thinking that death deprives you of life, future and what could be, therefore it should or does scare us more than the non-existence before our birth. Before you were born you were deprived of the times that came before your birth just like death will after. It makes no difference, it's an irrational fear, in which we see life and death on the same plane and in conflict between good and evil, which is an arbitrary human construct. Non existence is infinitely expanding in both directions, before and after your birth, your existence is a parenthesis in the middle. It's a hierarchy not a conflict.
Beautiful video. That doesn’t even come close to describing how wonderful it is, but there we go. One small thing for anyone to help with: are there any sources for the pieces of art used?
I know that’s a big question, but if possible I would like a source for pretty much every single one, especially in the first 5 mins. Any help would be much appreciated please x
Death is das greatest invention of life because in das face of death All trivialities fall away And only de essential remain: Am I dead Or Am I breathing because only a dead man cannot breath in And know that I am breathing in- not out. Life in essence is just 1 breath away from death. He who breaths deeply may live long because life may be long or short. One who has short breath will die soon.
I don’t agree with the common viewpoint of “if we were immortal then we’d be lazy, and have no desire to push forward as a species”. Why I don’t agree with this is because it’s not our death that causes urgency within us, it’s our very desire to be better, in and of itself. While perhaps death would not serve as a threat to us, happiness would. We would strive as a species to be happy, to give meaning to ourselves. The same goes for comfort. We would continue to advance technologically, and spiritually (whatever that means to you), to make sure our time is enjoyable. Let’s say we live in the immortal plane of existence. I really struggle to believe that if humans were immortal as is, that going all the way back to 200 bc we would never have advanced at all, and just played with rocks and had sex with each other constantly because it’s fun. I fully believe we’d have the same cities, the same art, the same phones I’m typing this comment on right now. Because it’s not death that motivates us, it’s our drive to push forward. You’d grow completely and utterly bored sitting and watching RUclips videos all day for eternity
death seems very often as the solution to end the suffering, more specifically self caused death, though an average human does not fear death until he is immediately confronted with it, or atleast believes he is, only then he will begin to understand what death actually means and starts fearing it, more so the causes and the way to it.
2:02 Look around, we're already quite an unhappy bunch of people. In our current condition, endless existence would indeed make for even more unhappiness. Anything we have in excess, we waste in our current condition.
Someone should make a mega list of all the draconian rules great thinks have come up with on how to live, how to think, how to feel. Rightness and happiness can be yours if you follow these six hundred rules
I'm fearful of not being able to die. I have a sinking feeling that death doesn't exist at all and there is nothing in life really worth living for in the first place so if death isn't possible then it's a true life sentence to nothing
@Flux I just don't believe things that have no explanation. There is a much better explanation and it all revolves around frequencies. You'll freak when see. Cuz u will see what u can't comprehend.

A truly excellent video. Perhaps you might consider doing a video on Thomas Mann. I know he was heavily influenced by Nietzsche and the ancient Greeks.

Yes, o fcourse
It’s ignorantly assumed that ‘one does not exist’ after death...and that, ‘death deprives us of life’. How do we know that what we call ‘death’ is not more appropriately thought of as ‘door’ to ever existent ‘life’ of the ‘soul’...the consciousness we know as ‘ourselves’? That’s how MOST great thinkers and cultures of antiquity regarded ‘death’...sumerians, egyptians, sythians. Death as an ‘end’ is only recently been popularized by the nihilistic materialist philosophies that have undermined all alternative thought.
the greeks used to do this, in their temples, everyday people would enter into their temples and experience "death" and that gave them more happiness in living in everyday lives. Totally amazing video
Perhaps that's why Nietzsche admired the ancient Greeks. They affirmed life and death through tragedy.
Each day is a little life because each waking and rising is a little birth
And each going to sleep is a little death.
Life is a loan from death
With sleep as daily interest.
wow
@@satnamo That is basically why we should live one day at a time, as if each day was our last day, because, in the end of the day, "sleep is just the end being shy", like a smaller passing away each day in preparation for the certain final ending.
One day, when you be prepared to fall asleep without any regrets or expectations for waking up, that is the same day that you will realize that you are prepared for the real final sleep.
Where did I say I hated Nietzsche and the ancient Greeks? I actually said Nietzsche "AFFIRMED" life through ancient Greek tragedy!@fI1cker
"Death smiles at us all and all we can do is smile back"
Was that life?

I'm 63, I've had several very close brushes with death in my life including a freak, near- fatal traffic accident at 21, in which by all rights I should have died. It wasn't a conscious decision, but I just don't fear death anymore. However, the thought or possibility of my wife of 30 years dying (before me) terrifies me no end...
So she should watch you die? So selfish of you.
I'm ending this conversation.
I recently lost my wife of 23 years at the young age of 56. I feel like we were both robbed of another 20yrs together and I miss her terribly. Death however was a blessing for her as she was in severe pain the last six months of her life and slowly became disabled unable to walk,sit up or even roll over by herself by the end of her life. She really wasn't living in that state. She had been diagnosed with arthritis and although I feared it was something worse I never gave up hope that she would get better and we went to the doctor twice a month for the last six months. Finally they did a cscan and found that she had been eat up with cancer which was the root of her problem. I broke down sobbing but my wife didn't even flinch. They admitted her into hospice that same day and she died a week later. I believe that our souls live on but even if I'm wrong I know she's no longer in pain. There are a few things I would do differently if I could but mainly it's the things I wish I had done that bothers me. Cherish every moment with your loved ones because we never know when our time will come and once someone is gone any opportunity to tell them how you feel is passed. May God bless you and your wife with many more years of living your lives as if it were your last
@@timrice65 I feel so sorry for you and your wife, but that explains many popular sayings:
"Give flowers to individuals when they are still alive."
"She was already gone long ago in the inside."
"Endings can also be blessings."
"Hope for the better makes all efforts worth."
@@timrice65 i think I can somehow relate because I lost my mother three days ago due to diabetic complications. Like your wife she also suffered terribly during the last one and half years of her life and was bedridden having been reduced to a mere skeleton. Not only did she lose one leg but also the remaining one only a year apart and i somehow feel relieved that my mom is no longer suffering. Caring for her with my dad for her all these years i deep down knew her time on this earth was growing short but when it finally happens it all feels like a nightmare.

DEATH is the total absence of suffering, a pool so deep and a silence too expansive. While, LIFE is the enduring mystery, a wheel and a mirror.
"I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it." Mark Twain
You have just never come into existence you’ve experienced absolutely nothing in all sense of the word now that you’re alive and experiencing it’s just gonna revert to the same thing for eternity depending on you think about it. That’s a great comfort or a great fear.
And the funny thing is, you’re not even conscious to experience it
My opinion on fear of death: why people often fear death is because what lies beyond it. It is unknown to us and we humans or mortals are often feared of something we do not know. The fear of unknown.
Eternalised, Einzelganger, Academy of Ideas, Living Philosophy, Sisyphus 55 are among the most thoughtfully provocative channels on RUclips.
I know about three of them. Thank you for telling about more, I will check them too.
Pursuit of Wonder.
Hadn't heard of Living Philosophy, thanks.
Wow!
Jung had a classic NDE!
I did not know this!
That explains so much!
Just gonna drop this here:
There have been verifiable accounts of conscious existence both before birth and after objectively detected death. The argument that coming back to life means they weren't really dead is irrelevant. All methods and means that we have to detect death at the time of death showed DEATH!
None of this denies nor invalidates our need to come to terms with approaching death while we live.
I'm 59.
I have stage 4 cancer.
I have no idea if I'm going to reach 60.
And that's okay.
I can only do my best for the rest of my time here.
No one gets outta here alive.
For every beginning there is an end and that the joy of life
Life is a journey but it's a wonderful one full of memories and encounters i am grateful that i have acquired this meaning now (I am 17) i hope you are doing well
Stay strong 💪.
U still alive?
@@walkdeep They definitely aren’t.
I lost my mother recently and having contemplated on all the suffering she endured during her final years due to sickness, I've found myself often wondering what meaning if any death and suffering have. Neither my mother nor i are fond of religious way of assigning meaning so it's important that i address these questions rather than sweep them under the rug. I must say I'm glad i found this channel at last.
She's at peace. 💖
Death used to be one of our greatest fears in life right up with abandonment and never being enough. Then after being late diagnosed with autism we very slowly started to realize we were always enough we just had no one around to teach us that growing up. Around three-four months before we were disowned we started to develop nightly physically painful panic attacks, and The Grim Reaper started visiting us every single night. It felt like my life up until meeting him was the real hell, and he was testing me to see if I was strong enough to leave it. I genuinely thought I would die every night, it was that painful, but Death became a consistent comfort. Then when I was disowned by my narcissistic father, I knew that is why Death started haunting me. Around a year later my grim reaper adopted me as his spiritual son once I was equal to him and had proven that. I don’t fear death anymore. Because my Death, means everything to me.
Anxiety is the common response to mortality; inspiration is the rare response, channeling the affects of the dying process by becoming in sync with the creative process. A redistribution of the accumulated negative entropic energy into creation.
To die
But not to perish
Is to be eternally present.
The potential spiritual energy that lays dormant in my center of mass is transformed into kinetic energy through the forces of practice.
Therefore, we work for Nirvana-
That blessed state of heavenly calm obtained by expiation.

I’m 20yrs old and not really religious, but I’ve thought about death for the longest time I couldn’t come to terms with it. But I now understand it, or at least accept it.
8:40 Death is a natural process and should not be feared.
14:28 Death is not an end, but a goal.
15:50 One who has placed his faith in archetype follows the tracks of life, and lives right into his death. He lives WITH his instincts. Myth is something we create through observing our psychic life - through active imagination, dream, intuitions and synchronicities (meaningful coincidences).
Bringing ones unconsciousness into consciousness shifts the focus from the ego to the Self.
18:39 The moment Jung achieved his goal, he accessed the transcendent.
Das greatest fear is the fear of death.
But deat is nothing to me because
When I am here
Death is not here;
And when death is here
I am not here.
Was that life ?

@@brianreeves Are Christ's or Buddha's ideas verifiable?
There's nothing tragic about the fact we all die. Our ego fights against this obvious conclusion as part of our journey. The real tragedy is when a man does not accept this inevitability. To accept the reality of death is to become truly humble.
I was expecting something else, but was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the presentation, especially the artwork. Looking forward to hearing more.
I've always thought life is a lesson that we learn with others and our loved ones, to teach us about the next life. I have seen such perfect beauty in my dreams, and I absolutely feel that is what awaits us when we pass on.
I believe there can be no beginning and and no end. Looking at the four cycles without the illusion of time; there are infinite recurring cycles of death, change, rebirth and life. So if we enter death we are death so it is nothing separated from me. That idea liberates me, seeing death as myself and not something to dread or fear. I am death.
Due to the topic of the video there must be some viewers who have too close of experience with death. In my case I have PTSD from having had cancer. Before I managed to survive the doctors told me it was the end and I had “2 years at most”. I cannot describe the horror that happens in a person’s mind when it happens to you. Unless you are faced with something like this you don’t know how bad it is.
After my experience i cannot casually watch movies that trivialize death or even casually play video games where people are killed. It made me realize that people can be entirely de-sensitized to seeing, hearing, or thinking about death without ever being able to understand people who face it.
Totally agree!
I hope you’re good man stay safe
I think this de-sensitization is also there when we think of animals being killed. For them I think they would feel the same visceral horror as a human when their life is taken away
Seems "doctors" are something to be avoided and most know less than some of their customers..🤔
I highly appreciate the effort you put into making such content. Respect!
Respect cannot be demanded because

I stopped fearing death after I had children. I now understand that I only have my time in the sun because those that came before me enjoyed their time and then made room for me by dying. I will make way for all those to come after me as well. I'm not afraid or unset about this. I'm grateful.
that quote "death is a mirror of prior abyss" just changed my outlook death forever
Death Is the Most Misunderstood Phenomenon
“Death is the most misunderstood phenomenon. People have thought of death as the end of life. That is the first, basic misunderstanding.
“Death is not the end, but the beginning of a new life. Yes, it is an end of something that is already dead. It is also a crescendo of what we call life, although very few know what life is. They live, but they live in such ignorance that they never encounter their own life. And it is impossible for these people to know their own death, because death is the ultimate experience of this life, and the beginning experience of another. Death is the door between two lives; one is left behind, one is waiting ahead.
“There is nothing ugly about death; but man, out of his fear, has made even the word, death ugly and unutterable. People don’t like to talk about it. They won’t even listen to the word death.
“The fear has reasons. The fear arises because it is always somebody else who dies. You always see death from the outside, and death is an experience of the innermost being. It is just like watching love from the outside. You may watch for years, but you will not come to know anything of what love is. You may come to know the manifestations of love, but not love itself. We know the same about death. Just the manifestations on the surface - the breathing has stopped, the heart has stopped, the man as he used to talk and walk is no more there: just a corpse is lying there instead of a living body.
“These are only outer symptoms. Death is the transfer of the soul from one body to another body, or in cases when a man is fully awakened, from one body to the body of the whole universe. It is a great journey, but you cannot know it from the outside. From outside, only symptoms are available; and those symptoms have made people afraid.
“Those who have known death from inside lose all fear of death.
Everybody Is Afraid of Death
“Everybody is afraid of death for the simple reason that we have not tasted of life yet. The man who knows what life is, is never afraid of death; he welcomes death. Whenever death comes he hugs death, he embraces death, he welcomes death, he receives death as a guest. To the man who has not known what life is, death is an enemy; and to the man who knows what life is, death is the ultimate crescendo of life.
“But everybody is afraid of death; that too is contagious. Your parents are afraid of death, your neighbors are afraid of death. Small children start getting infected by this constant fear all around. Everybody is afraid of death. People don’t even want to talk about death.
“There have been only two taboos in the world: sex and death. It is very strange why sex and death have been the two taboos not to be talked about, to be avoided. They are deeply connected. Sex represents life because all life arises out of sex, and death represents the end. And both have been taboo - don’t talk about sex and don’t talk about death.”
I am not afraid of death,i am afraid of the pain while dying.
Pain must be positive for it makes its own existence felt.
What is pain ?
Pain is the sound:
Ouchhh
@@satnamo Maybe in psychological pain man thinks about its positivity, but never in the case of biological pain. The immediate reaction of my body against pain and its sensation to my existence would be unbearable indeed.
I recommend reading "On pain" by Junger
I remember when Larry Hagman was having health issues back in the early 90's. Something he said during an interview always stood out to me. He said "I don't fear death, I fear pain".
I'm not feared of pain either but at times uncertainty of pain evolve into bigger than our bodys and minds couldnt handle it anymore till we die this is extreme pain tats fearfull

This closet has a door that never fully closes but never really bothers one either. Once again, thank you so much for approaching another topic with an angle that resonates so much with me and all the others that are here.
I liked this but I think most philosophical discussions miss something on death.
99% of the emotion we encounter about death is not fear of death but grief over the death of others.
Das greatest fear is the fear of my death because I cannot feel the death of other people.
It depends on the person and on their age. I for one, have contemplated my death since I was a boy because when I was in that stage of my life, someone young in my family died. It affected me deeply and thus for the longest time would think about the death of everyone I ever knew, constantly. I felt no fear in contemplating my own death. It is only in my 20s that the fear has surfaced. Just because you don't currently fear death doesn't mean you never will. I have learned that lesson.
We tend to only give value to something only after we realize that there is a possibility of losing that same something, this applies to basically anything in existence, besides existence itself.
What I always find striking that people that are born with a deadly/progressive desease in general fear suffering more then death, healthy people fear death more. Matter of life experience and perspective.
When the fear of life outweighs the terror of death
A man will commit suicide.
But suicide is a cowardly act because the biggest failure of life is losing oneself since man is a god in ruin.

@@satnamo only from a perspective of the one who isn't suffering........do you really think that people who don't even care about their own life, will care about some stranger thinking of them as coward?..
the one's alive will always try to justify their existence till the end and think of the one's who refuse to do that as cowardly and try to demean their values as much as possible.......why do you think that you as a person, eating pooping and breathing for few more decades is greater than the one's who log out early?
The man who create something meaningful, the man who die for their country, the man who aquire all pleasures of life, the man who commits crimes, the man who becomes the victim of those said crime, the man who begs all his life just to survive and the man who help that begger, these all are the same and neither are greater or lesser than one another.
Suicide is just another choice, neither heroic nor cowardly

The argument about laziness when talking about eternal life doesn't have much impact to me since it typically revolves around the idea that people wouldn't "make the most out of every day" if there wasn't a definite and unavoidable end. My problem with this point is that Death exists and has been part of our experience forever, but people still don't make the most out of their time at all! People already procrastinate even though they know for a fact it's bad for them in their situation so what's the difference? Also, eternal life still entails that you need to survive (it's not like invincibility or something), so people would certainly have plenty to do with their time.
The focus on productivity would most likely relax quite a bit (for a moment), but the stress of having enough capital to keep living would probably come and push productivity in the fore front of people's lives again... What we need isn't eternal life, but a better capacity to accept and to adapt to our environment (physical, cultural, social)
"It is beautiful after dying to live again"-Bernardino Corio
Ultimately I’m afraid of leaving love ones behind that may need my protection and guidance. Ironically in the face of death Id be more afraid of the future than the present. Which now that I think about it my fear of death is simply my fear of the future in disguise. Which now that I think about it my fear of the future is birth by my desire to be needed and wanted which makes my value of life completely determined on how other people value me. This can easily explain why my entire life I have always try to appeal to people even if they did not like me or I did not relate to them, that is also probably why my entire life criticism has always mentally affected me. After recently graduating from high school I have begun to learn how to only allow those who actually mean something to me determine my value of life, but that scares me because unlike materialistic objects life can be taken and impossible to replace. Which now that I think about it that can be perceived as me fearing death. Ultimately I’ve come to the conclusion that life and death are both terrifying and beautiful, they serve their purpose which makes me wonder if they were design that way by a God, and if they were an after life now seems implausible.
Edit: I wrote this comment before watching the video I have to say I agree with Ernest Becker at 5:57 I do that, I never thought of it as narcissistic but it kind of is.
It's the exact notion that we will no longer exist that precisely terrifies me.
The meaning of death is a reminder of life.
Most underrated comment
This may be true death, when we die we wake up again in spirit
I feel that death is not the thing that is scary, but what becomes of after death. I feel that many have the sense that we are more than just the flesh, so if we have a soul or spirit

Science has abandoned the widely held notion that nothing awaits after death. I am unconcerned with death, because death has happened to so many people I have known in life. Death is inevitable, but so is what happens next, which madness failed to grasp. Thanks for this.
Epicurus nailed it.Death does not concern us.
Underneath the fear of death is the primal wound, which is the wound of non being. The ego fears non being and non existence. The primal wound is a deep complex. After one drains, purges, and integrates the unconscious shadow and anima, a process which takes decades of inner work, what one finds is a gaping wound in the Soul. This wound is the primal wound. What humans truly fears is non being. On the other side of the primal wound is the immortal Self Core...or what Sri Aurobindo called the "Psychic Being". This is the Core of the Soul and it is located deep inside the heart. This Core radiates Spirit and Consciousness. This is the Source of our Self. To realize this Core is to realize one's immortal Self.

It's comforting in a way I can't explain
Thank you for making these videos. ❤️
In my experience throughout living, it's that people want to keep each other alive for as long as one can. Like if a loved one is suffering, let them go. Death has always been part of my daily vocabulary. To some, it's taboo and needs to be extinguished and tucked away.
If I'm going to die, I'm going to fkn die. Let me sleep. I've come near death several times and I'm 30 years of age. I dream death and sometimes have nightmares about it.
My philosophy is: if a living person is afraid to die, then a dead person must be afraid to live fully.
Great... thanks for the video

Great paintings for a great discourse.
To assume that consciousness ends at death is just as flawed a position to hold as it is to assume that consciousness continues indefinitely. In this, we are all agnostic. If we are intellectually honest, all we can say is, "I don't know." How do the calculations change if _that_ is one's starting point?
I’ve been understanding death for myself to be a gateway to life… We die everyday. Through death of one’s self, we discover true life. Death is a natural part of life and should be embraced, not feared. Only the ego fears death. Allow your old self to die, so you can allow your true self to live. And when the end goal comes, there will be nothing to fear.
The real, tremendous perspective is not death but immortality.
yes
Very spooky skeletals, thank you Eternalised
I would say if death is analagous to the prior abyss, then the real questions lie in how to live a meaningful life. Even despite being an insignificant microcosm in the grand scheme of things.
Great video! As an undergrad I wrote my Philosophy capstone on some overlapping topics.
Matthew 10 : 28 (KJV) - And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
This is so deep but inspiring. Thank you very much.
Every morning we wake from death.
You should live one day at a time, as if each day was your last day, because, in the end of the day, "sleep is just the end being shy", like a smaller passing away each day in preparation for the certain final ending.
One day, when you be prepared to fall asleep without any regrets or expectations for waking up, that is the same day that you will realize that you are prepared for the real final sleep.
I already understand that when someone dies they will actually stay gone permanently, whether we want to or not and no matter how good the person is, and we can't even remember any moments that happened when they were still alive because that is the past and it's not the same as the present or future, but I still wish that some people didn't die because I feel like I should suffer since I can never see them again. In fact, I wish that people can't die by accidents because that is even worse than if they die naturally by being too old... Actually, as a matter of fact, I think death shouldn't even exist because I don't know why people are eventually going to stay dead forever when they get too old if no one wants that to happen. I decided to name here every person I know who died, and why I wish they were still alive.

2. Miodrag Stojiljković, better known as Grandpa Dragi, is my maternal grandfather. He was born on July 20th 1945 and died on August 22nd 2018, that was 5 years ago. He was also such a great person.
3. Dragiša Alabić, also known as Grandpa Gile, is my paternal grandfather. He was born on August 13th 1935 and died a long time ago before I was born, on June 20th 1989. He was only 53 years old, so he actually died due to a car accident and not by being too old.
4. Miodrag Mišković, better known as Grandpa Miško, is the maternal grandfather of my paternal cousins Nikola and Nemanja Alabić, as well as their maternal cousins Stefan and Irena Đorđević. He was born on August 24th 1935 and died in 2015, I just don't know exactly when. I don't really know he acted like when he was still alive because I haven't usually seen him, but I think he would be good.
5. Petar Mančić, better known as Grandpa Pera, is my neighbor. He was born in 1944 and died either on July 25th or 27th 2023.
6. Milica, or Grandma Milica, is the great-grandmother of my godfather Nenad Filipović. I don't know what is her last name or date of birth and death.
7. Zagorka Jelesijević, also known as Grandma Zaga, is my neighbor who used to live in the second house of the Dragan Petrović 12 Street, or as we call it Kolonija. She and her husband Aleksije Jelesijević, better known as Grandpa Leka, approximately moved to live in the Gavrilo Princip Street while their granddaughter Nataša lived in Kolonija with her husband Nikola and their children Mladen and Milena. This means that Grandma Zaga and Grandpa Leka are actually the great-grandparents of Mladen and Milena. I don't know when Grandma Zaga was born, but I do know that she died 3 years ago in 2020, I just don't know exactly when.
8. Grandpa Leka also died this year on July 30th 2023. He is definitely the person that I mostly didn't want to die because I think he had a very positive and nice attitude and I remember so many moments when he was still alive, but sadly he did die due to one disease that I don't know which. He was born in 1937, but I don't know exactly which day. I haven't usually seen him or Grandma Zaga when they were still alive. The last time I have ever seen him was when my father and I went to his house when Grandma Zaga died.
Okay, now I'm going to tell you a few other facts about why I wish that death wasn't real.
1. On May 31st 2017, I went on a field trip to a city in Serbia known as Vrnjačka Banja in fifth grade school. My class elder told me that there was one kid who climbed a building there but accidentally fell and died. Now this is definitely one of the people that I especially think shouldn't have died because the kid was literally too young and it happens really rare when someone dies by accidents.
2. I was once going back home from school and I saw 3 dead cats on the streets who were probably run over by a car. Now this is probably the weirdest and most illegal things that ever could've happened as cats have 9 lives... I mean, not really, people only say that because they die hard. They only don't take fall damage.
3. When I went to my village one time, some people murdered a pig so they would get its meat, but I think that people shouldn't kill animals, I think they should stay alive like us humans.
Please mention the name of the painter and the painting alongside. Adds more meaning to the content. Thanks.
That would be annoying because of the distractions from my main focus on reading and listening to das text

I have spent over 20 years researching and working with people on this topic and I am totally convinced that death as we have been taught to believe is a lie. We are energy and energy never dies. My work examining the natural way of death is that nothing in nature dies, it simply shape-shifts and takes on a new form. We should be listening to physicists instead of psychologists, philosophers, and fear-mongering religions who seek to control us. Also, this video as usual gathers up the same suspects to serve as authorities on the subject, often unable to move beyond the same European perspectives, while ignoring many fascinating works from other cultures. In closing, I believe there is a transition and a rebirth for eternity....the seed of immortality is firmly planted within our being. This is not something I simply believe, I know it to be, therefore I may leave this place, give up my face, but I am denying the concept of death we've been so wrongly taught.
"We are energy and energy never dies"
Energy is not a conscious entity. Hence, it doesn't posses neither life nor death. 20 years of wasted time. If you are still alive i recommend studying Islam objectively from its primary sources. Don't waste your afterlife.
@@MohammadMohammad11111 Telling him he's wrong then proceeding to recommend him Islam of all religions is hilarious 🤣🤣
@Blixky2Blixky tell me, what is wrong with the only pure monotheistic religion in this world? What are your objections against it?
human beings are irrational, without any exeptions among sages, enlightened. the mind can trick itself to accept death, but the mind is tied to a body that is going to push you through survival in an instant, regardless of the time it took you to find peace.
I think there's an intrinsic fallacy in thinking that death deprives you of life, future and what could be, therefore it should or does scare us more than the non-existence before our birth.
Before you were born you were deprived of the times that came before your birth just like death will after.
It makes no difference, it's an irrational fear, in which we see life and death on the same plane and in conflict between good and evil, which is an arbitrary human construct.
Non existence is infinitely expanding in both directions, before and after your birth, your existence is a parenthesis in the middle.
It's a hierarchy not a conflict.
Beautiful video! I really enjoyed it ☺️ bravo!
People afraid of death forget that before you were born you didn't exist...(physically)
Underrated Channel
I rate it high
@@satnamo Ok
Beautiful video. That doesn’t even come close to describing how wonderful it is, but there we go. One small thing for anyone to help with: are there any sources for the pieces of art used?
I know that’s a big question, but if possible I would like a source for pretty much every single one, especially in the first 5 mins. Any help would be much appreciated please x
That would be freaking distracting to me
@@satnamo I mean in the description or in comments
Sure I'll post all the art as soon as I can.
@@Eternalised thank you sm both for that and the video.
Consciousness is the answer to everything.
Death is das greatest invention of life because in das face of death
All trivialities fall away
And only de essential remain:
Am I dead
Or
Am I breathing because
only a dead man cannot breath in
And know that I am breathing in- not out.
Life in essence is just 1 breath away from death.
He who breaths deeply may live long because life may be long or short.
One who has short breath will die soon.
Thanks for this wonderful vedio
I don’t agree with the common viewpoint of “if we were immortal then we’d be lazy, and have no desire to push forward as a species”. Why I don’t agree with this is because it’s not our death that causes urgency within us, it’s our very desire to be better, in and of itself. While perhaps death would not serve as a threat to us, happiness would. We would strive as a species to be happy, to give meaning to ourselves. The same goes for comfort. We would continue to advance technologically, and spiritually (whatever that means to you), to make sure our time is enjoyable.
Let’s say we live in the immortal plane of existence. I really struggle to believe that if humans were immortal as is, that going all the way back to 200 bc we would never have advanced at all, and just played with rocks and had sex with each other constantly because it’s fun. I fully believe we’d have the same cities, the same art, the same phones I’m typing this comment on right now. Because it’s not death that motivates us, it’s our drive to push forward. You’d grow completely and utterly bored sitting and watching RUclips videos all day for eternity
Birth also links us all together, Duality.
9:20 man Epictetus really said that like a badass. I think I'm going to tend to dying later as well
I hope schools include this to their curriculum.
Great video!
What is great in man ?
He is a bridge to das Superman
excellent video, i’m glad i found your channel
death seems very often as the solution to end the suffering, more specifically self caused death, though an average human does not fear death until he is immediately confronted with it, or atleast believes he is, only then he will begin to understand what death actually means and starts fearing it, more so the causes and the way to it.
Who knows that death is maybe a blessing ?
Life sucked enough that death is a kind of reward. If you exist reading this hoping for something good, don't.
I like all of this , but is it possible to put this in Spotify ?
"Life is just to die." Lou Reed
2:02 Look around, we're already quite an unhappy bunch of people. In our current condition, endless existence would indeed make for even more unhappiness. Anything we have in excess, we waste in our current condition.
Someone should make a mega list of all the draconian rules great thinks have come up with on how to live, how to think, how to feel. Rightness and happiness can be yours if you follow these six hundred rules
9:04 It is not death man should fear but never beginning to live
He who lives fully now is ready to die when his time is right.
I'm fearful of not being able to die. I have a sinking feeling that death doesn't exist at all and there is nothing in life really worth living for in the first place so if death isn't possible then it's a true life sentence to nothing
@Flux I just don't believe things that have no explanation. There is a much better explanation and it all revolves around frequencies. You'll freak when see. Cuz u will see what u can't comprehend.
Death is a non-event, as is life before death, the mistake is in not realising both are the same non-event.
