      look into marcus aurelius, he dealt with social anxiety and anxiety and knowing this he decided to figure out how to proactively and progressively live with it by connecting with himself on a daily basis and having pillars to combat those thoughts and feelings and allow himself to integrate himself into the world in spite of all he dealt with inside. what you just said i felt that way when learning about marcus aurelius, a former rome emperor that had his fair share of problems but found a way to live.

    I lost my wife of 50 years, 3 years ago. My children have left South Africa to seek their fortunes abroad. Most of my life is spent alone. At first it was really hard, but as time went by and after my acceptance that I had few options and just had to get on with my life. I am fortunate to be quite a creative person. I make knives, jewellery, Leatherwood and I paint, draw, make beer, brew bread and do a lot of journalling . It's during the making process of all I do, the design, preparation using the materials that is the zen for me.... my meditation! The focus on what am doing blocks my mind to depressing and nostalgic thoughts and get me through each day using time creatively.

    I am grateful for this gentle soul sharing his thoughts. I am 62 yrs old now and always thought there was something wrong with me. I was born introverted and physically oversensitive to my environment (hives, stomach issues, etc starting at a very young age). What “normal” people view as “outgoing” (loud, competitive, attention seeking) just feels like aggression to me. Often, I just go somehere and sit in my car (my quiet bubble) to decompress from this loud, high pressure existence. I look forward to retirement as a time when I will finally be able to live a quiet life, and to find a quiet way to be of more service to others.

    So beautiful his way of looking at life.
    "They say being older is not for sissies. I didn't find life easy when I was young at all. As a small boy I loved more than anything being on my own. There was something anxious and self conscious when I was around people.
    When I was with a tree or a cat, the world was mine in a slightly different kind of way"
    I felt so happy reading those lines. That was me.
    That's exactly how I felt all along, and still do at 76.

    Spoken like a true introvert. About half of the population is like this. The other half seek to make the other half more like them. They push the deep value of friendship. However, as a 78 yo, my family are my close friends. All other friends have fallen away. I often wonder why, but find it a useless pursuit because I can't find the answers. We no longer communicate. I now conclude that friends are like dead skin cells, or hair, that sheds from your body, very naturally and it has little to do with anything you have done. I sometimes miss the old friends, my experiences with them, but those times will never come back. In the end, we have to be comfortable and grateful for the life you have and have made.

    What a lovely man. I am a woman, who is 67 year young, and have become a recluse with my greyhound companion Madge. I have always been a very sensitive person, and had a hard time at school when I was a child. I always wanted to please people, but realize now that I was not getting the love and attention I craved myself. I am so grateful for what I have, and find it very hard when folk say something unkind to me, as I always strive to be kind and caring to others. I love nature, and my best place is to be out in it, but due to my sever anxiety, I can not be far from my home, as this is my safe place. I only go out to walk Madge, or to take the rubbish to the end of our private lane (owned by my neighbor, but where I have right of way over) which is in a very rural spot, with no passing traffic outside my small home. I do believe that we should be kind to others, and just hope that those who are not always kind to us, will see by example the error of their ways. xxx

    This is me in so many ways❤ Mr. Anthony Osler, you’ve put the words so eloquently out of my lips. You’re so on point in saying “ I don’t feel afraid of being dead, what frightens me is not living fully before I die.”
    At 61, I’ve never felt so alone yet so at peace and joyful within for finally finding myself amidst the craziness of this world. Yet it’s that same insanity out there that drew me inward and then suddenly pushed me outward to see and feel my connectedness with all humanity, especially all the pain and suffering of those misjudged, misplaced by war, mistreated due to their beliefs about God or country.
    I no longer question what’s wrong, but rather join them in prayer, in mindfulness and I try as best I could to do my part no matter how minuscule the impact. Bless you all for this wonderful reflection. The best so far for me!❤

      The Spectrum. Like another level of invisible lightwaves. I am working on acceptance now, after 60+ years of struggling to accept what I wasnt. It is an interesting turn in the road. The future, too short perhaps, but so much more than all that lies behind. Wishing you a great journey.

    Such a great way to start my morning.
    There’re so many lesson that resonate with me from this single video. Things I have been slowly learning as I walk through this life. And it’s just nice to hear someone much wiser talk about them.
    1. We are one with nature. And there’s just something healing and calming about being with it. Find ways to connect with it.
    2. Silence the noises and live this life mindfully, gently,sincerely, and authentically.
    3. Feel and embrace all your emotions. This is how you’ll know that you’re truly alive
    4. Don’t just believe anything and everything you’re told. Connect with your higher self. Connect with the rest of the planet and find out what more is out there for you. And then decide what is real for YOU!

    Another of my all-time favorites. I have already watched it several times and forwarded it to people I care about. It is a gift to them as much as your gift to me to bring this gentleman into my life. He is the kind of person I could sit down with and just take in his genuine heart and soul. Anthony has so many precious one-liners I can't list them all here. And, again, as always your videography and editing took the presentation to another level. I absolutely loved the shot of the cat walking across the top of the wall with the Zen Sky sign in the context of the shot and the feel of the message. I also took into the deepest place of my heart wisdom of not shutting out the dark things happening in the world because in so doing I become "brittle by trying to keep something out." Compassion and empathy is what keeps us more deeply loving and soft. Thanks, GR. My life is better for these videos.

    Thank you for another beautiful story. Solitude is beautiful, but so is getting involved in the collective. The South African biologist Dave Pepler speaks about the people of Rwanda, how they collectively got involved in their own suffering and that of others through awakened participation. Solitude invariably involves stepping into the world and reaching beyond the self. Listening with compassion, loving beyond the self, that is truly remarkable.

      its just imagined cries and suffering though meaning not happening in his real time, present moment.
      him, living alone, in his immediate environment wheres the cry?
      when he goes into the city, does he see people crying outside?
      'the suffering of the world' is his own introjection.
      or just a default state of a human when he is all alone.
      but im not implying that that imagined suffering is null or inconsequential even though we could say it is an echo chamber, voices of others, if he finds meaning to such.
