It's Not Okay to be Sad [Philosophy]

- I was inspired to make this video after watching some clips of Mad God, which in my view, was a social commentary. I think, at a certain level we've learned to normalize negative emotions so much that it atomizes the person and removes them from the larger world around them. I'm not saying that it's not okay to be sad, in reality, my argument is that regardless of how we feel, we still have an obligation to ourself to try to stay mentally and physically healthy.

Forgive me if this plays no relevance, but your video is way too reminiscent of a poem I wrote back when I was in tenth grade. I hope you may take no offense if I share it here, but the resemblance is simply uncanny. Thank you for making such a piece. It went as thus:
Catatonic Mania
Addiction due to the tragic reality,
All beginning with a taste for corrosion;
Within a room of impracticality,
Fading away with rotten emotion.
Mayday, etiquette out the window,
Born after many twists and turns;
Within a room of static destrudo,
Bathe in the light of Divine Terms.
Obtain light sleep, a carnal overdose,
And experience the inordinate happiness;
With a scene of pyroclastic flows,
Melted into the hippocampus.
Embrace the kindness in the poison waves;
Rougher than ethics, a love that enslaves.
Tightrope walk through the delusional strife,
Pulling the invisible strings;
And headshot through the noisy nightlife,
Being sterile to all it brings.
This marks my 1000th crucifixion,
Overlooking patterns that jumble free;
As the culmination of elation,
Fades away with a rotting glee.
The curses of sweet words bloom,
Breeding with ZZZ-grade madness;
As a confluence of young flowers doom,
Falling into self-made darkness.
"I'll wade through the chaos to open your eyes;"
Rings a faint voice in the sky and dawn fireflies.
A life within the standard deviation,
"Truly, nothing less than the noblest sport;"
Fly away into the unmanned station,
"Well, here comes the actual plot.
"Running away, or turning a blind eye,
Which is more worth it in the end?"
With the flag dancing, raised up high,
"Do you wait for a mere godsend?
"No matter who is the ruin,
No matter who is the defective;
Will you quit being human,
Or lay yourself in perspective?"
Everything around you begins to sway;
As both light and darkness lead you astray.
"For 'all is even, all is fair',
Even as you fall into its snare;
Hyperfixated, even while walking around,
Here, I'll make a hell of a sound!
"Follow me quick, but don't lose yourself,"
Into the blue light, which you choose to delve;
"Be that as it may, vacate this hell,"
And finally bid this inferno farewell.
Through the pale light, smiling like an Angel,
A strong hallucination, whispering like the Devil,
Holding you like an Angel, the world begins to shake,
On a sparkling rooftop, the scenery began to fade...
From the ruins of that warped love, reality emerges anew,
In the faint morning glow, "You've seen it all through."
No one achieves happiness. It's a destination you never arrive at, something you chase not something you catch. If you catch it you have to find a new pursuit to be happy.
Build a garden to attract the butterflies
Ignorant people, stupid people, delusional people, they're generally happy because they are unaware. Many of them have no idea how to treat a person like a human being, let alone behave like one. Is the thing that pretends to be human, a human? Or do we finally call them what they really are?
Awesome video
Absolutely Fascinating, amazing work. I can't help but feel as though I'm coming to a different conclusion than most of the other commenters. I don't see this as a genuine argument for the immorality of not seeking pleasure, it feels too - idk - sinister for that? The eeriness of the voice coming out of the TV? The aggressiveness of it? Instead, it feels like a masterful depiction of someone deep in the trawls of depression. Feeling like shit and then taking it one step further; feeling a moral burden for it. Many of these thoughts I've had at my lowest have mirrored the thoughts presented in this video. It becomes a downwards spiral which is nearly impossible to escape from. Instead, true happiness comes from acceptance. Acceptance that regardless of our conditions we are trying the best we possibly can to improve them. The guilt seems to melt away, and all the energy we'd built to counteract it can break free over the sorrows.
yeah i'm with ya, i like this interpretation much more. ambiguous art about depression rather than TV voice = good
the tv voice gets pretty nasty, "get better now you lazy bitch piece of shit", how it feels to try to push yourself to be better when your internal voice is itself depressed and cruel, drops some classic mean parent lines too lol
this is quite beautiful, keep at it man :-)
Awesome thx
Philosophy is best served plainly and in an abstract way, great vid
I think the only point in achieving happiness is to chase your own personal hedonism.
The amount of that you achieve is completely up to you and there are no responsibilities toward it that you don’t set for yourself.
I personally recommend arranging for others to also easily pursue their own hedonistic desires, in the interest of fairness.
Very Kantian perspective. Tbh, as much as this video is in good intentions, presenting a complex philosophical view after reading a short article on the Stanford encyclopedia is kind of disingenuous. (In reference to the citation in the description) This is also a really difficult view to accept when you (for example) have major depression, which is a huge critique of Kant’s “obligations” and his arguments against self deletion in “the groundwork of the metaphysics of morals”. Interesting video, just suspicious of the philosophy used to back it. I would recommend some opposing/ differing views to Kant on sadness, such as Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Epicurus. Also, I’m saying this as someone who loves Kant, his take on what we ought to do when we’re sad is kind of not that great, lol. telling someone they’re privileged and have it better than other people and should (essentially) get their shit together, or making them feel bad for being sad, is not really conducive to long term positive change.
It’s a yt video not a peer reviewed journal article bro
@@fergalkidd91"its not dat deep bro 🤤"
OP, is depression really classifiable under sadness? I think it's an entirely different emotion. As someone intimately familiar with both.
appreciate the comment homie, yea i agree with you that the Kantian perspective seems a bit too based in rationality and selflessness, not great for sad ppl, but he's made a lot of great work that i still have to catch up on. honestly some of my biggest concerns with the channel is how everyone seems to interpret philosophy as self-help advice and whether or not I'm reading these things with enough critical thought. lowkey this is just kind of a hobby im starting out at, haven't been classically trained in the subject matter and my work hardly relates to questioning morality lol. if u have any advice on where i could go to for better sources or how to advance my critical thinking i'd greatly appreciate it. last thing i'd wanna do is spread mis-information
Love this audio style video with chill editing elements - good soup. Thank you
astonished this doesnt have more views, good shit
I can’t believe this hasn’t gone viral yet. This is what sad people need to hear. Being inspired can be the spark that grows into a forest fire of life long passion, desire to improve, and a sense of personal responsibility to actively make positive change.
if society fucked itself in the first place why is it my responsibility to fix it? that's selfish
yeah, nice vid, I guess the visuals are very captivating. But you dont seem to understand most of philosophy. Sadness isn’t just some obstacle to overcome it’s part of what makes life meaningful. I would never be happy if I was happy all the time. The struggle the ups and downs - thats what gives happiness its value.
But 'meaning' is then a cruel tragedy, if it is designed to require sadness in order to work. Transhumanism is required to fix that, since it is only a chemical reaction. Defile everything that is sacred and ravage god, then we will be freed
DUDE how does this have so little views!! This is the closest depiction of my notes and my thoughts I have ever found! I mean the visuals are on point!
I want to live in this video

Great video
It’s okay to be sad when something sad happened yesterday, it’s not okay to be sad because something sad happened 3 years ago.
beautiful
