In this video, we explore the often inevitable bitterness and cynicism that comes with experience and age—as well the seemingly paradoxical mindset that we can adopt to try to resist and overcome these negative responses to life.

    To be aware of this body is weird and at what point did I even say that I had a personal reality? It's as though I thought a space up and met other space dwellers with a similar understanding. At what extent does existence accumulate every possibility to a point to be frozen in one point of time? Presence doesn't need validation but it is the only place which does not need to have a point. It just is

    5:11 is a great point. It feels sad/wrong to not be optimistic but life is incredibly tough and you have to learn to to expect disappointment.

    "The bigger they are the harder they fall" or "Keep your expectation low, that way you'll never get disappointed".

    One needs vitality and strength. Without energy all else is academic. Try Coca-Cola. It’s the real thing. Or a taste of martini, the most beautiful drink in the world. The right on, the light one, it’s martini. Lost your smile? Found a bottle of Fanta, opened the cap, whoop zing bang, my smile is back. Fanta Fantas just a bottle of fun. And Canada Dry ginger ale tastes like love. NowTHAT was epic advertising

    Because we cut down all the forests so we can’t go outside and enjoy nature anymore. THEN we put in place over sensitive mobs and mods on the internet where you have to walk on eggshells. So both the outdoors and indoors sucks. What a wonderful society we have.

    Technology is a blessing and a curse.
    I remember always being out with friends and socializing as a kid, all through high school. Some of us had overcome a rough childhood on top of that. The excitement of technology didn’t last long as it took away our bond with one another. We stopped socializing and a lot of people now suffer from social anxiety amongst other social disorders. The list goes on and all though this one is reversible, the one that is proving to be tough to combat is the weaponization of social medias to push propaganda and hateful speech that feeds their purpose to divide us and make us hate each other. I find it hard to believe we can overcome what’s happening in the world at this time, no hope, no light.
    I’ll we can do is stay aware and optimistic. We need to pursue challenges that can keep our light lit and push forward. After all all of humanity inside this rock floating through space, all we are is an atom in the most literal sense of it all.

    Tell this to Logan Paul and Jake paul. They got it ALL. Lol. The reason YALL DONT is because you CRITISIZE THEM which is doing EXACTLY what this video is describing lol. I think theyre GENIUS and love what theyre doing, hence I have everything I always wanted as a kid. My dream cars, my office, my personal assistants. Because I never lost NOR do I criticize people like Logan and Jake. I get EXCITED thats ITS POSSIBLE.

    When we give our final exhalation, we won't recall the best day at the office, but all the love we have freely given and received without demanding reciprocity.

    The truly successful, are almost never cynical, real success is inversely correlated the cynicism. I've never understood how the path to self actualization results in this kind of negativity.
