I’m quickly becoming a huge fan of this channel, all because I stumbled upon one of these videos when I was baked once lol. The team behind these videos are absolutely fantastic and I would absolutely buy any books put out by the writer/s.
I could not hold myself from giving off tears... The very sad story of a man seeing the light shine in front of him, illuminating his path towards his dreams, stumbling across the path vaguely, but then to be tragically beaten and torn apart by life itself, is truly how reality is and thus the very sad truth that lies within it. To me I find it very hard, I hesitate to act, because I hate the feeling of being beaten down by life, for instance (true story in my life), finding a woman that looks amazing, with a remarkable personality, but then to know that attraction couldnt build up any higher than what it previously was at due to you finding this person online and knowing that the likelkyness of you meeting this person any time soon is immensely small, thus the interaction and attraction slowly dies out and both parties go their separate ways, it just stops me from trying to find another person, so I become sad and depressed because of it, and I never want to keep trying ever again... But to hear a story, obviously, perhaps not real, of a man that by an harmless event, or so to be thought of, could change your life in such a dramatic way that you it completely kills your humanity and you end up becoming breathing dead flesh, but then to transcend into a new being, after a long period of time, is truly remarkable.. Hopefully my ignorant childish brain can understand and feel more greatful for life and what I have around me, and to work with it to it utmost potential, because I am remarkably lucky to have the opportunities I have, in comparison with someone that does not. I thank you Pursuit of wonder for your dedication and work to help the people around you, the community and the world, we are grateful for your purpose that you have in your life.

Right. A lot of people don't want to try to rise because they know they're going to get knocked back down at some point and it makes the rise and fall rollercoaster seem futile. But resurrecting yourself after a fall is an experience like no other. So far I rose, fell, and rose again in my line of fortune only once. I'd rather not experience it again, but if I do fall a second time, I'd like to try to rise again a third time rather than stay down. I'm already preparing for rising after my second fall, because I know how easy they come. Hopefully it will make things easier. Sudden blindness would be one of the harder things to try to overcome.
THANK YOU for this story! Once again, this Channels Team did a great job at delivering a high quality script which helps me and, judging by the comment section and the general amount of likes and views, so many more people all around the World, to get by... to cope with.. our reality. Thank You.
“Trying to be liked is a zero-sum game. If you say things because you think it is what people want to hear and your wrong, then they don’t like you. And if you say things because you think it is what people want to hear and you are right, they like a version of you that isn’t real. Both are losers. At least in the case were you say what you want to say, you are either liked or disliked for who you really are at that moment.” This is a quote from your book and it has helped me not care about what people think of me to a extent and I thank you for that, I thank you for the book there are a lot of great quotes in that book

It’s amazing how the human mind works. This clearly shows brain plasticity since the brain adapted to heighten his other senses, especially his hearing, when he’s not using the occipital lobe for sight. And since he was already creative from the beginning, he just didn’t have the right outlet nor the time to express his creativity, naturally he would gravitate towards music as an outlet. Beautiful
The saying is that everything happens for a reason. Not so. It's the other way around. We give a reason to everything. Nearly all events in life are not planned for the simple reason that we can't predict what people will do. Everyone is at times lucky and other times unlucky. Successful people are able to turn a bad luck into an opportunity. This eventually puts them in favourable situations giving the impression that they are more lucky. In this video, the man became blind. At one point, he accepted this bad luck. This allowed him to move onto another skill and invested his energy in it. In the end, it worked out. But, for many people, it doesn't. We learn best from failures. So, parents shouldn't protect their children too much. And there's no point lecturing our teenagers about life. They haven't lived life yet, so they won't grasp what is told to them anyway.
These videos are thought-provoking in a way that I have never experienced before. This team is nothing short of incredible, in the truest sense of the word, at creating these veritably emotive videos. I always feel a truly visceral emotion after watching them. Although to call them simply _videos_ is perhaps an understatement (in fact, the word for this wonderfully imaginative and original type of expression may not even exist). *Bravo.*

Don't be sorry for speaking ur heart out. Ur story would be an eye opener for someone else.. Hope ur in a better place now. Much love 💜
I’m proud of you man! Sometimes writing out your thoughts and feelings is the best way to realize things you didn’t even know you knew
I've been scared to try a certain thing because of potentially finding out I'm not as good at it as i thought.
@@rv.9658 I do not regret trying and failing. I think it would bother me More, if I had not tried at all.
It is better to know your limits than to never have tested them.
This narrator has the most beautiful voice. I could listen to him for a lifetime.
You have the most beautiful smile I ever seen. I could watch you smile for a lifetime. 🍃🌹☕️
Mark Twain flashes in front of my eyes whenever Am about to end it all..”get your shit together” he screams.
There are a lot of great Mark Twain quotes but that may be my new favorite. :)

"Well then, get your shit together. Get it all together. And put it in a backpack. All your shit. So it’s together."
Mark Twain was extremely wise. There are no accidents. Ever. There are no chance coincidences. Ever. This is known to those who know the Meaning of Life, in full. And I can refer you to no one other than myself. Read my book.
Almost dying as opposed to dying is a lifesaver
For a movement i was stunned, it makes me feel like I was watching a reflection of my life till 5:00.
"Everybody wants to be knocked out, but nobody wants to be dead"
-Rick Sanchez
This throwaway line from a show that has been memed to death due to its stupid fanbase that pretends to be smart... Somehow it always resonated with me because it's always been something that I've agreed with. You don't really start living until you almost die. I wish I could knock myself out and see all that I have to lose so I can finally live happy despite the circomstances
You do realize that being KNOCKED OUT is nowhere near the same as ALMOST DYING, right?
You probably watch Big Bang Theory
@@TheRazzaManazza Nah. Sitcoms are cringe. Especially this one. The only tolerable ones are the ones without laugh tracks. If you're gonna make shitty assumptions about people, at least get good at it
You can have near death experiences and still be temporarily suicidal. Mostly happens when people are extremely cruel with me
Whether you try to live or not, life will be lived 💯
Keep on living, now all that matters is what energies you possess. Heart should only feel happy or sad, or is it "or".
I’m quickly becoming a huge fan of this channel, all because I stumbled upon one of these videos when I was baked once lol. The team behind these videos are absolutely fantastic and I would absolutely buy any books put out by the writer/s.
I could not hold myself from giving off tears... The very sad story of a man seeing the light shine in front of him, illuminating his path towards his dreams, stumbling across the path vaguely, but then to be tragically beaten and torn apart by life itself, is truly how reality is and thus the very sad truth that lies within it. To me I find it very hard, I hesitate to act, because I hate the feeling of being beaten down by life, for instance (true story in my life), finding a woman that looks amazing, with a remarkable personality, but then to know that attraction couldnt build up any higher than what it previously was at due to you finding this person online and knowing that the likelkyness of you meeting this person any time soon is immensely small, thus the interaction and attraction slowly dies out and both parties go their separate ways, it just stops me from trying to find another person, so I become sad and depressed because of it, and I never want to keep trying ever again...
But to hear a story, obviously, perhaps not real, of a man that by an harmless event, or so to be thought of, could change your life in such a dramatic way that you it completely kills your humanity and you end up becoming breathing dead flesh, but then to transcend into a new being, after a long period of time, is truly remarkable..
Hopefully my ignorant childish brain can understand and feel more greatful for life and what I have around me, and to work with it to it utmost potential, because I am remarkably lucky to have the opportunities I have, in comparison with someone that does not.
I thank you Pursuit of wonder for your dedication and work to help the people around you, the community and the world, we are grateful for your purpose that you have in your life.
No matter what just keep going!!!!!!!!
Keep trying what makes you feel happy.

Dude, if i was in audience and heard this answer i will clap so badly hard, cause damn, what a speech.
The best thing the RUclips algorithm can ever do for anyone, is put this channel in their suggested viewing list.
Possibly the best video in this channel !
14:26 - Wow! If he was able to come up with that philosophical response at the spur of the moment, then he’s also a genius.

I really Love the "Story" Videos you Put out in which you Wrap a specific topic. Keep it up, its way too good
Am I the only one who always had parents who never instilled such silly story in my head ? They never told me I could do anything I wanted
No not the only one 😅 mine were just busy with trying to bring me down lol
This video has changed my whole perspective on life.
I can't thank you enough for this. Keep it up.
This one was a beautiful masterpiece. Thank you!
Thank you!
Just wanna say "Thank You" 🙏🏻
Pursuit of happinies u have no idea how much your videos have changed my perspective in life.Thank u very much!!!

@@kazkk_87 why
Right. A lot of people don't want to try to rise because they know they're going to get knocked back down at some point and it makes the rise and fall rollercoaster seem futile. But resurrecting yourself after a fall is an experience like no other. So far I rose, fell, and rose again in my line of fortune only once. I'd rather not experience it again, but if I do fall a second time, I'd like to try to rise again a third time rather than stay down. I'm already preparing for rising after my second fall, because I know how easy they come. Hopefully it will make things easier. Sudden blindness would be one of the harder things to try to overcome.
THANK YOU for this story!
Once again, this Channels Team did a great job at delivering a high quality script which helps me and, judging by the comment section and the general amount of likes and views, so many more people all around the World, to get by... to cope with.. our reality.
Thank You.
Lifes a trip brother we all know where we going so enjoy the ride
7:33 the way the musicc supports this is incredible
These videos are amazing, and I don’t take that lightly.
“Trying to be liked is a zero-sum game. If you say things because you think it is what people want to hear and your wrong, then they don’t like you. And if you say things because you think it is what people want to hear and you are right, they like a version of you that isn’t real. Both are losers. At least in the case were you say what you want to say, you are either liked or disliked for who you really are at that moment.” This is a quote from your book and it has helped me not care about what people think of me to a extent and I thank you for that, I thank you for the book there are a lot of great quotes in that book
we live in a society
Most people live their life without doing what they are the best at.
Imagine having this job. Amazing work. For amazing cumulative talent.
Towards the end & the real, vulnerable opening of honestly sharing Felixs thoughts & how it was written is what makes you channel one of the BEST!
Thank you!
philosophy in the format of art of storytelling
the question with all philosophies is
will it work
I really needed this today. Thank you for making it
ya man i almost got suffocate by my pillow during sleep , that shit scared me to this day
Wow, scary. How did that happen, if you don’t mind my asking? Good thing you’re ok!
This channel is outstanding.He decodes life for us as it actually is.He should be having millions of subscribers.
“I see that now”
Funniest shit I’ve ever seen
I clicked the video by accident in the midst of which video to watch
"I see that now." Damn...
It’s amazing how the human mind works. This clearly shows brain plasticity since the brain adapted to heighten his other senses, especially his hearing, when he’s not using the occipital lobe for sight. And since he was already creative from the beginning, he just didn’t have the right outlet nor the time to express his creativity, naturally he would gravitate towards music as an outlet. Beautiful

Almost died but got ptsd and a broken motorbike
sometimes the hit make your back stronger, sometimes it break it.
@@johnn522 for me both. I broke my legs but they put titanium inside the bones and now they are stronger.
I guess I keep doing it wrong 👍🏻
@@Joksa999 haha..Perhaps you keep doing it right.
@@johnn522 well if I say I'm doing it wrong and you say I'm doing it right. That means if you're right I'm wrong.
Fuck
The saying is that everything happens for a reason. Not so. It's the other way around. We give a reason to everything. Nearly all events in life are not planned for the simple reason that we can't predict what people will do. Everyone is at times lucky and other times unlucky. Successful people are able to turn a bad luck into an opportunity. This eventually puts them in favourable situations giving the impression that they are more lucky. In this video, the man became blind. At one point, he accepted this bad luck. This allowed him to move onto another skill and invested his energy in it. In the end, it worked out. But, for many people, it doesn't. We learn best from failures. So, parents shouldn't protect their children too much. And there's no point lecturing our teenagers about life. They haven't lived life yet, so they won't grasp what is told to them anyway.
But if luck doesn’t find you, are you trapped in living unfullfilled?
I think luck is based on one 's perspective.
I would love a video of just the final part of him answering the question, just to listen to it
Please upload more on Spotify podcasts. I'd love love that and I believe many people too .
And please make better stories.
These videos are thought-provoking in a way that I have never experienced before.
This team is nothing short of incredible, in the truest sense of the word, at creating these veritably emotive videos. I always feel a truly visceral emotion after watching them.
Although to call them simply _videos_ is perhaps an understatement (in fact, the word for this wonderfully imaginative and original type of expression may not even exist).
*Bravo.*

The first two minutes just called me out in every single way right down to film being the last thing I have left because I got good grades at it in High School 😭😭
Words are very much not enough, but through the ideas of philosophies, words have made life even more beautiful.
_Sometimes ya gotta be blind to see clearly_ 🤩
Thank you for this. Idk what it was, but it spoke to me on a level I can’t really describe.

Your channel and content are truly something else.
