6 months in, i assume its gotten better every week? I'm almost 6 yrs in with 2 and it just keeps getting better. Not easier, but better. Belated congratulations
@@nateb4543 every now and then the internet is not toxic and you get a warm hearted response like this. Mate first 6 months was hard as hell. She was colic and slept real bad and my dad has been critically unwell. That being said, becoming a father is the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me and I had greatly underestimated how much I’d love this child and how much it would mature my love for her mum. It does get better every day. Thanks heaps for the comment man, made my day. All the best in your parenting journey!
It's nice to hear someone else singing my tune. I get ignored by friends and family and forgotten from invites to things like weddings because I'm not on Facebook or Instagram. These are huge multi-million pound corporations here to make money. Being a member of their site is not a mandatory life expectancy and people shouldn't be penalised for choosing not to be a part of it. The Internet is great and a great tool to communicate with people around the world. But it has somewhat taken over people's lives and i miss the days of having to visit people to talk to them. I would much rather go walking with someone and chat in person outside in the fresh air than message someone online that only lives down the street.
100%. You can't fake a real meaningful life, but through modern ease and "comfort", you can very easily keep yourself from ever craving it enough to start moving towards what would make your life truly worthwhile.
I agree so much. And this is all getting worse for the younger generations. Im only 15 but you are so right! Social media and social interaction through the internet is really just a band aid for whats the real problem for me- lack of (meaningful) social interaction I have been treating the symptoms instead of addressing the cause myself, and it really is damaging in the long run. Because of my social anxiety (in the real world) I have been rather avoiding social interaction, even if it was necessary. I am working hard on my mental state right now but I genuinely needed this video as a small wake up call to keep pushing and realize where I am right now. Thank you very much
Thought about this endlessly throughout my life and how I sometimes let some of these modern amenities replace real life - even from something as simple as texting. Very well said and a great reminder for everyone to allow them to miss people they care about to make the real interactions that much more special.
As a Catholic, I can definitely see a lot of wisdom in this. It’s similar to what J.R.R. Tolkien alluded to in his works and personal upbringing - blindly following the latest trends without the proper discernment can lead to problems.
I love going hiking. I can't afford to live closer to my loved ones. I love having real hobbies like creating artwork, through painting, sculpture, drawing etc.
I’m old enough to be your mother. Gen-X, farmgirl, outside at least ten hours a day. I use my phone in the evenings during chores, and have to say that I am always happier when it’s off. Connection to the land and to my family becomes more and more important with every passing season.
The most simple answer is to take a step back from it, assess your life, take accountability, be realistic in current circumstances, make changes if necessary, and find balance. The real discussion is that since technology doesn't seem to be going away (anytime soon) and the human species has such a hard time stopping ourselves. How can/ or should we use technology in a different manner or way to help us make those changes for our own good? 🤔
Unfortunately, I think what's going to happen is humans are going to epigenetically (and over longer periods of time, genetically) adapt by being able to tolerate less real human interaction, less sex, and more social media. It's actually really scary to think about, but that is the most likely scenario.
i exercise outside on my back porch every morning. no music. just the sounds nature provides at 4am. i hike multiple times a week. these things bring me so much enjoyment that a gym could never.
Well no shite, your sitting at a sermon. You expected logical and level headed advice from a group of people who think a magical angel come down and had a virrgin gave birth to a kid who walked on water and turned into whine. Lol.
Indeed, these thoughts are truly profound. It had never occurred to me that engaging in activities such as video calls and going to the gym could actually hinder my deep connection with both individuals and the natural world. As for the matter of pornography, I comprehend its detrimental effects on one's capacity for intimacy and loyalty. I express my gratitude for bringing these insights to my attention. This material provides excellent food for thought.
Thank you Thoren thats a video i needed... right now im pretty heart broken and i go literally every day to the gym for almost 3 months straight... i think i need some nature experience in my near future maybe this will make my mind more "free"...
Fair rant bro, knowing the difference between an image (imagination or a screen) and reality (here now) is a key to life i think. Thanks for the wisdom and motivational content
Word, brother! I totally agree. Modern living is in many ways inhumane, and detaches us from our very nature. And what’s worse is that anyone who speaks out about this in modern society gets shunned, ignored, or called crazy, because of the social facts programmed into modern humans from early childhood. This horrible groupthink prevents us from seeing that we are living wrong, and in many ways praises vice over virtue.
Most of the people I encounter don't even have a mind body connection established with themselves, and so many people have such a bad habit of making excuses and overlooking things to a degree where they can't even see that they're doing so. I ran from myself for a long time and I'm glad I started letting the truth set me free from my own self, you seem super collected in yourself and I can tell you've spent a lot of healthy time in your own mind it shows for sure, keep chopping bro keep calm and chop on lol
Thoren is so sexy I almost forgot to listen to his raw truth. I watch him chop his wood all day it's a nice change to hear his thoughts on human interactions or lack of. Keep chopping you beast. ;)
😢 death to us part, Bye a lot of family members, friends So very very overwhelming times... Isolation and learning a lot about myself and how people really are...
Everytime someone metions this I realize something new about it. Everyone should keept in in mind! Lower social Media time and increase your contact with the real world. ❤
I thought this was great. Also, it's rare to hear a man level even the slightest criticism of the abundance of pornography and people's increasing reliance on it. It creates a lot of unhealthy people. If you criticize the industry itself and the behaviors it creates, a lot of men especially are so defensive and resistant to any conversation. It's addict behaviour tbh.
Bro, you can literally FaceTime from almost ANYWHERE. In a way you can take that person with you wherever you go. It’s not like you meet face to face for coffee everyday. So what’s keeping you from moving?? You’re BFF is literally in your pocket.
You are absolutely right. But I think you are kind of missing my point. I am talking more about the people who are using facetime to keep in touch with someone the really would rather be living close to. Some relationships and friendships it’s warranted. There are some worth moving for. You gotta be the one to know
Wow I mistakinly though you where just a muscle bound show off, but this vid is so poinient and made me realise that I am no better then the rest off the world. Sorry and thanks for this vid I guess I just realised my own inferiority complex, me and my brother have grown apart but the whole face time thing hit home. Peace and love. Oh and BTW, please turn your phone side ways lol.
You have to check out Alan Watts on his prediction on this exact thing. Very intelligent. Couldn’t agree with you more on this subject. People are disconnected from reality and what’s actually important.
Thoren, I love fitness and science. I have an associates degree in Exercise Science. Looking at the job market I really have no idea how I’d make good money if I went on to get a bachelors degree. Is exercise physiology s worthwhile degree if I have a goal of having s good career
Do you do competitions like are you going to be at the Johnny Appleseed competition in Sheffield pa I would absolutely love to meet you. I Damm sure know my girl would love to meet you
I’d rather watch explicit adult content from an adult film star than be cheated on and lied to… again. As for family, I blocked them all. I love nature, but nature would like to eat me alive which would dramatically limit my supposed 80 year life.
Additional note: with the advent of online dating it has made connections flimsy and effervescent because of the sheer amount of perceived options. Why try and make real connections with someone when at the drop of a hat you can pick someone different? Why tough it out and make something work when an app or two makes it seem like there are a hundred other options around the bend?
Your exactly what i look for in a man. Never change your ways! Your actually living like a true king and mad respect my dude! Anyone of the younger generation, listen carefully please. Things are getting terrible so hang strong! American Strong!
What do mean by face time and not relocating? I don't have any close family or a love one. The porn thing... I watch like once a week cuz I don't have a man. If I'm near my period cycle maybe more porn. I know I'm safe from std, even though I have two std. It keeps me safe from crazy dating sight for plots of murders. I don't get out alot cuz of the city life and being a female. As far as PT time. My pt is at home on and off. Or a healthy eating meal or drink.
I would like a healthy sex life. The guy I have wants it all the time. Which is a turn off. Just the smell, discharge, the three to four shower in a day is overwhelming when the guy is small and thin...
Great rant, I suggest finding a good church as well. Not a mega church unless that is the last option, but a church that shows true love for the people who walk through the doors and are willing at the drop of a hat to serve.
I became a dad last night. This is exactly the reminder I needed, exactly when I needed to hear it. Fucking nailed this.
Bro that is amazing news! Enjoy it, i bet you’ll have some amazing lessons to share
@@ThorenBradley thanks for the reply brother. I can’t wait to raise a strong woman with old fashioned values ❤️

Well said. The message is better than a lot of sermons I've sat through.
Might need a new church man.
@@johnmcwick1All churches are garbage, so I agree with him.
Well no shite, your sitting at a sermon. You expected logical and level headed advice from a group of people who think a magical angel come down and had a virrgin gave birth to a kid who walked on water and turned into whine. Lol.
Well done, wonderful words I am following you from Syria and the Middle East😊
Way to go, Thoren! More people need more things to bring them up short. Make themselves better people in ALL facets of their lives.
That was actually really good advice! I needed to hear that ❤

I’ve only just found your channel and I think you’re a legend.. fair play bro !!
Thank you Thoren thats a video i needed... right now im pretty heart broken and i go literally every day to the gym for almost 3 months straight... i think i need some nature experience in my near future maybe this will make my mind more "free"...
Bro I always watch your short videos but I just subscribed after watching this one! I really appreciate the honesty here
Yes! You are so spot on! Thank you for sharing
You’ve fuelled the fire in me , thank you 🙏
Fair rant bro, knowing the difference between an image (imagination or a screen) and reality (here now) is a key to life i think. Thanks for the wisdom and motivational content
Amen brother! All the best
Consequences of industrial revolution
Yup
Short and sweet 👏🏼
Absolutely agree. And what about office work?

So well said. Balance is the key
This was so needed!
I really enjoy your videos. i hope you post more to youtube about daily life and fitness.
That's the plan!
Thank you for that thought.I loved it❤❤❤❤❤

F@ck yeah brother! I agree, nature and family is the way!
I have always said that technology could be used for good. But it is far more profitable for it to be used as a negative influence.
This is good stuff!
Thank you!
As someone from LA, can someone tell me the nearest place I can chop some wood like this man
This. Glad to hear you saying. Bless up
This needs to come out
Great video.
I swear when he was born he named himself..🦾🦾🦾 blessings to you man.. continue to teach and lead by example for all of us
Wise words. Love it. 😊👍🏼
Agreed. Human connection & connection with nature are more valuable than quick ratification.
happy sundays fundays 👍👍
Well said. Oh my word this was a great video that I’m glad I watched.
Very well said!
Thoren is so sexy I almost forgot to listen to his raw truth. I watch him chop his wood all day it's a nice change to hear his thoughts on human interactions or lack of. Keep chopping you beast. ;)
Very self aware, such an intelligent man, keep on spreading the word 😌🙏
also splitting the wood
He spreads more than just wood
😢 death to us part, Bye a lot of family members, friends
So very very overwhelming times... Isolation and learning a lot about myself and how people really are...
Complete rejection from the rest of family and people I know.
Well spoken sir Amen 🙏
Preach 🙌🏼🙏🏽🙌🏼
Facts bro!!
Everytime someone metions this I realize something new about it. Everyone should keept in in mind!
Lower social Media time and increase your contact with the real world. ❤
Bravo sir! Very well said (think I'll go outside for a while now)
Spot On.
👍👍💯🇺🇸

Dang, so good
Super facts Thoren
Sending you respect all the way from England
That's a good video Thoren, I like that.
strong and smart
I hear and see you.❤😍😘
Thoren, that face is amazing… and the points you are making is true. BTW interaction with humanity in my opinion, is even more important than nature.
Preach!

Have "liked" both your and thoren's comments cause I appreciated reading the discussion
Wow I mistakinly though you where just a muscle bound show off, but this vid is so poinient and made me realise that I am no better then the rest off the world. Sorry and thanks for this vid I guess I just realised my own inferiority complex, me and my brother have grown apart but the whole face time thing hit home. Peace and love.

porn is the worst thing ever never ever start watching porn it becomes a all consuming addiction, and becomes hard to break that grip it has on you.
Facts man I pray anyone dealing with it find Christ because he helped me let go and showed me how better it is to not do those things at all fr
His right
I’d rather watch explicit adult content from an adult film star than be cheated on and lied to… again. As for family, I blocked them all. I love nature, but nature would like to eat me alive which would dramatically limit my supposed 80 year life.

Pornography has destroyed many men’s lives in the modern day. And people should go to nature once a week
What do mean by face time and not relocating? I don't have any close family or a love one. The porn thing... I watch like once a week cuz I don't have a man. If I'm near my period cycle maybe more porn. I know I'm safe from std, even though I have two std. It keeps me safe from crazy dating sight for plots of murders.

how high are you
The emotional disconnect is really harming us!
