    「塞翁が馬」そして「禍福は糾える縄の如し」。
    これらの言葉は当然に知っていたが、この動画のように考えるために使ったことはなかった。
    水のように生きることの利点を、東アジア人である私は知っているはずなのに、すっかり忘れて毎日を生きている。

    Thank you for the video. I really enjoyed it and speaks to me personally. Maybe in the future I will be glad I saw this video. Maybe not. I think this is an important lesson if you are prone to ruminating.

    You talk like there are many paths avalable to choose. What if your problems* are of new age on which human evolution havent made your brain to know how to cope with. When what that makes you human is gone, there is only the primival voice in you singing ''rivalry and retribution, Death the only solution''

    "How you feel and how you think are not harmonious."

    This! This exactly what I think's been robbing me of the possibility of getting trough life in a most random/almost bucolic way wich I'm 99% certain, is the way life is supposed to be and feel like. But no, with me it's just overthinking and seeing myself as a subject as you put it instead of a integrated being that is alive and knows itself.

    "You know what to do, but you don't feel what is best. You feel what is best, but you don't know what to do."

    I wish I could skip this nightmare. What is worst is that I am always there at the back of my mind judging even more my lack of action. I am scared.

    I hate that this comes up right as when a potential employer ghosted me. I thought I made a good decision by going with someone who I thought I knew and I thought wanted to work together so we may grow together. I canceled other options because I went in and signed paperwork and everything but after I returned from my bereavement leave. They ghosted me. I wish that I can’t make decisions in my life, that way I’d have someone or something to be upset at rather than myself.

    I like thinking more then doing things..
    When I actually try, I might mess up..
    It's easier to be nothing then try in a world that only cares about 'constant improvement' whatever that means when everything seems so stagnate I'm ways then there's people that somehow exist without even trying and it makes me jealous some can exist without the burden of a mind that wont stop running possible outcomes instead of just experiencing life it's like always being two steps behind yourself and where you need to be and eveyone is like why can't you just be like eveyone else and you also wonder how does eveyone just function and are they just struggling along not sure of themselves either and this reality we all seem to be trapped in a narrative that was written before our times

    Weeks ago I started falling into a pit of obsessive self-examination, I have turned to the study of psychosocial stages of development among various other theories in the mental matrix of human existence, and in that wake I have since cut off many people, not out of hate or even ambivalence, but to let my mind go, omit the thoughts of control or fate I may have in relation to others. I'm trying to build myself in a way that will accept its own truth.

    Some of it has left me to the laboriousness of overthinking, and I can attest now that a horrid inaction strikes down on me several times harder than the subconsciousness of beautifully imperfect instincts… I will take responsibility in finding my truth, but stark isolation from all previous context is a hit to the lobe that I acknowledge may be disastrous if I keep pushing against myself so hard.

    I have no plans to change this pursuit of making a stronger willed version of me, but I cannot question myself until I become undone, and this video is a great reminder of that, thank you Izaak.

    why did i decide against all that i said. why did i decide to do the exact thing i said i wont do. i hate myself. i hate all of it. this is just insane. … and weird. i will analyze it until there is no attachment to the mistake whatsoever. it will become an academic matter and nothing more

    "Alexa, play Aerials by System of a Down."

    🎶 And we are the ones that wanna choose
    Always wanna play but you never wanna lose
    Oh 🎶

    🎶Aerials in the sky
    When you lose small mind, you free your life
    Aerials, so up high
    When you free your eyes, eternal prize🎶

    Speaking like one who knows to those who may relate. I certainly relate.

    The subject does seem to be on the "charioteer" of all other virtues. Indeedy, there's a 'golden mean' to be found between teasing out the essence of things and "solving life." The Taoist conflation is perfect.

    the line that got me was "how will we be seen" because the video kinda just moves past it in like 4 seconds and i think thats actually the the whole thing

    most of my worst spirals were never me looking for the right answer. i was building a case. rehearsing a version of the decision i could defend if somebody asked me about it later. you can tell by the shape of it, the spiral gets louder around people and goes quiet when nobody knows what your deciding

    ive made calls in ten seconds alone in my apartment that took me three weeks with people around. the empty room isnt wiser lol. it just has no jury in it

    idk how much of overthinking is even thinking and how much of it is an audience problem wearing a thinking costume
