    I've considered myself an empath and was proud of it, until I realized is just a childhood trauma response that makes me take bad decisions and garbage from people. Now in my 30's IDGAF and have high boundaries people think I'm cold, I'm not, I'm actually very lovely and kind i just put myself first like a never did before

    Please Shallon, I am begging you.. please could you do a video about Noah, Miley and the whole mess with their mother? How to deal with a selfish mother? How to resolve a conflict, when both of the sides desire the same? How to deal with betrayal of someone you would never expect to betray you in the first place? Should you get over it? Do you have a right to leave them even if its a parent? What if you are banished from your family even when you are not the one who screwed it up. Thank you so much! Also, you are glowing and getting more beautiful video by video.

There cannot be a resolution to this type of betrayal as you will only set yourself up to be betrayed even more later! That entire family is unhinged and out of order!

    • @shallonlester
      @shallonlester  Месяц назад +28

      Such an incredible villain. The way he took that off the page and made it so nuanced! Unfortunately the real life Commodus was not nearly this clever or strategic, he was a complete paranoid murderous deranged idiot

    • @Story2ScreenMovieReviewPodcast
      @Story2ScreenMovieReviewPodcast Месяц назад +2

      ​@@shallonlester I would love to know what Phoenix initially had to work with in terms of the script. Because, when Gladiator started rolling the cameras, the movie initially only had 10 - 20 script pages. This movie was being made up as they went along during the shoot.
      Also, I highly another epic called Fall of the Roman Empire which stars Christopher Plummer ( Captain Von Trapp from the Sound of Music ) also playing Commodus. He is incredible and the movie is amazing because they built a real life city of Rome for the production.

    this has nothing to do with the video itself but I have always admired Shallon's drive. I am a vet student and I just had the most dry day, working with random co-workers that I don't really love and felt the mundane routine of the whole "keep smiling through it"weighing down on me, which is often the case. I felt the routine physically weighing down on me, like as if I had a ten pound sand bag on my shoulders all day. I admire how she keeps going no matter what she's going through. It never shows in her face or her passion that comes through the lens of the camera. I can always come back to any of her videos and expect to see the same Shallon with the same witty energy and the world feels ok again. Thank you Shallon, just for maybe reminding me that perhaps.... nothing is that serious or deep and things can still be fun, may it be your passion for history, art, science, what have you! Ps...I need a hobby or an alternative outlet because I'm starting to feel burnt out. Can anyone recommend me what I can do to still have the energy to do something I like after a long day of mundane things?

      Hey, think about what Shallon said about your perfect 8-year-old day. What did you enjoy when you were a kid? Or is there anything you always wanted to try?
      Also, it’s always easier to get motivated when you do a hobby in a group. Maybe look around your area of there is any group that meets up regularly
      Hope you find something that brings you joy soon

    Too much wisdom, too much zen can definitely translate to you being a target. In the coliseum of life, human nature detests people who seem to have "had it all" or too easy or "too comfortable". If apex preditors sniff this out, they may want to make an example of you, what they believe is leveling the playing field, to reveal your dark side and prove that you can also get down & dirty.
    Even if you think you're above the petty drama at work (or even your own family), you sometimes have to feign caring or even frustration simply to maintain your peace.
    As a great Roman historian once said "si vis pacem, Para bellum". If you value peace, get ready for war.

    While I agree that being overly empathetic allows evil people to get away with wrongdoing, I'm not so much into the idea that if someone wrongs you then you should go after them in a self-justified rampage of revenge. I think there's also something to be said for forgiveness. Sure, some evil can come from being overly empathetic, but evil can also come from a self driven sense of justice. Deal with the wrongdoer, and then forgive. That's my personal opinion. Or at least the philosophy I try to live by but sometimes fail. Lol.

      She’s not saying you have to do that but she’s also saying decide for yourself what you want to pursue or not. Not because you’re supposed to be nice or because other people say you shouldn’t. If that’s how you want to operate go ahead but also be aware that if you always forgive everyone some people will take advantage and keep screwing you over because they know you will just let it go.

    Actually St. Peter probably had the right idea. Pulmonary Edema from crucifixion is bad but slow, whereas positional asphyxiation/ blood pooling in your brain was quicker.

    I love Rome as well. I was afraid I would die before I was able to vacation there. I am happy I finally got to go back in may and it was amazing. Yes Caligula aka Little Boots was by far the worst . Thanks again

    This was rich! I enjoyed this so much with my morning coffee. I sat on my balcony transfixed!
    I would love your input on the contract between Taylor Swift and Travis that's going around the web. His PR firm claimed its fake, but i would love your input on arranged relationships in Hollywood and maybe the benefits and drawbacks of approaching romance like business? staging a relationship as a means to an end?

    I have so many sociopathic royals in my ancestry that it was a conscious choice to be empathetic. For the most part I feel a ton of empathy for people who’ve experienced trauma but the moment they turn on me, I step aside and they’re dealing directly with my ancestors. Good luck with that. 😂
    This is why it’s easy for me to coach narcissists and sociopaths. I see everything. There’s hardly ever an evil soul. Sometimes there is, but it’s so rare. But, yeah, you’ve got to be able to deal with the demonic that tries to protect the angelic. On a long enough timeline, that approach fails, but it’s effective short term so I see the logic.

    A little correction here, not to belabour the point, but Caesar was actually related to Octavian Augustus, he did not just adopt him out of nowhere. Octavian was the grandson of Caesars sister Julia. The imperial adoptions and inheritance of the Julio-Claudian and the Nerva-Antonine dynasty often did go to familly relations or more distant kin, even if it didnt go in a straight father to son line.
    Octavian was followed by Tiberius, his stepson, and Tiberius by Calligula, his grandnephew. And then came Claudius who was Calligulas uncle, and Nero was Claudius granadnephew, cousin, stepson, AND son-in-law. Yup, incest was part of keeping the power in the familly since the dawn of time, it wasnt just done by the Habsburgs 😅

    Love the historical context Shallon! Also, since you're a lover of Rome and books, you should check out the Wolf Den series by Elodie Harper about Pompeiian women who were sold into prostitution and their stories. It's fiction, but very gut wrenching!
