can you do a video on men having the mindset that's it not a big deal if they get caught cheating. but if they get cheated on its of course the end of the world. cheating wrong period, dosent matter if your male or female. I've noticed that therapists and coaches have been doing a " it's takes two" kind of approach to this topic. basically coddling the cheater and sending the message to the one who was cheated on that it's also their fault, and they need to figure out what part they played in their partner being unfaithful. I think it's been contributing alot to people having an excuse for lacking integrity. cheating is selfish, entitled, and completly disrespectful to the partner. the damage it causes to all parties involved is being minimized, and blame is being shifted on the ones that are damaged the most. I'd like to hear your opponion on this topic, and any experiences you have or that you have witnessed, and if you have any advice on how to handle situations like this not just for the betrayed partner ( make or female) but for the one who does the betraying by bringing sone awareness to the damage it causes and how it erodes a person's integrity in more places than just a romantic relationship. love your content, your influence on younger generations is desperately needed in this messed up society we have created for ourselves. thank you.
This is a f*cking masterpiece. Thanks Cole
No faith, no identity, no purpose.
Compounded by inflated human value/population density stress/"behavioral sink."
Technological revolutions also played a role.
The agricultural revolution spawned extended families.
Industrial revolution, nuclear families.
Information/internet revolution, single-parent households.
Now we are going through a sort of remote work/gig economy revolution with VR and doordash, everything from schooling to therapy is being done remotely, wars are being fought by drones, etc. Children really have no place in this economic arrangement.
The good news is that the arrangement is an unsustainable ponzi scheme. The bad news is that we are pretty much all totally unprepared for the hard work of surviving its collapse and building a new (or perhaps not so new) order afterwards.
You’re a stupid f boy. Nothing significant? How about you try thinking about the over 500k sub CZcams channel your about to upload a vid too. Your dimshit ass be a disease
Thank you for uploading this. I needed to know if anyone could relate. Did you have any relatives or friends who pushed you down or held you back? 😦
14:05 "When nobody wakes you up in the morning, and when nobody waits for you at night and when you can do whatever you want. What do you call it? Freedom or loneliness?"
Damn
Yes sir.... like one man crew ship sailing the ocean. You can embark with family, friends, or no one at all
Depends on the relationship...people forget that a lot of relationships are simply going through the motions or worse abusive
Either interpretation can be true, and it really comes down to how you frame your mindset and how you choose to view the situation in front of you.
Hell
Taking control, learning how, is the trick. @@vrgvhteyghfb3400
It's really frustrating when you don't know which way you should go.. The more you think - the more you feel lost. So sometimes it feels like it's easier to do nothing -> and then you feel worse..
Always go back to childhood in this case. I always wanted to be a doctor, politician and musician. Now, I've got my first medical textbook, a violin (a massive childhood dream), and a few books reccommended to me about philosophy and politics (such as Meditations by Marcus Aurelius).
Nothing finds that spark of purpose like striving to fulfill your inner child's dreams.
Reason finds resolve. Excuses find exits.
I think we're living in pretty hard times (for young adults in particular.)
We're presented with the illusion, that anything is possible, we're comparing ourselves to others more due to "social" media. The possibilities seem limitless. The pace of life is too high for us to adapt. Rents are too high, "surviving" is expensive. It has become more difficult to decide on what we really want to do with our lifes. It hardly ever feels good enough. There's always a better choice.
You're not weak for feeling how you feel. I feel you, just as so many others.
@@audreydoyle5268 What if you can't remember those Dreams?
Do a business, then get psychotherapist, and with him find what you really want, and with the money you get from the business start doing what you want. Easy as f. All we have to do is do something instead of overthinking and overcomplicating
Do what makes u happy I know it's hard and you don't know right now I don't either but we all in this together I feel you. Sometimes it's better to let the answers come while you focus on day by day
38 here. I had a good solid run from 24 to 36. Then I fizzled out burnt out and feel the same way I did in my early 20s. Just purposeless. No strong motivations. No strong desires just existing.
Welcome to Capitalism in the 21st century
What was different when you were 24? What jumpstarted that run and kept you going back then?
I wasn’t married for a start. My relationship was going well. Career going well. Got married at 28. We broke up at 35. She used me like a workhorse and atm card. I had a miserable marriage towards the end with two kids involved. She didn’t want to be a mum. She didn’t have a job and I was putting in 80 hours a week. we began to fight a lot about the kids and home. so she up and left me with two kids. That pretty much left me in the situation I am now in. Two kids. Work and provide for them and raise them.
Ever since then I’ve had to cut back on my hours in order to be more available for my kids. They’re my only purpose now. It’s rewarding but a real struggle. You have zero time for yourself. I love them don’t get me wrong. I’m very bitter towards their impulsive selfish mother who just left to live her own life without any responsibilities.
So I am lost and without purpose for myself other than raising my kids on my own. I didn’t want this situation. Did everything society told me to do. Study hard. Get good grades. Get a good job. Raise a family.
Now all I do is work and raise them. No time for anything else. It feels like a prison sentence at times. No breaks. No days off. No time to relax just go go go. But my kids are thriving in school and have extracurriculars. It’s not all bad. I love them dearly. Just wish I didn’t have to do it on my own.
I have many things I want to do, just not the motivation to do them... I feel stuck and have no idea how to fix it.
40yr here. It was a good decade plus and then 5yrs of struggle. Things are starting to look up again but it’s like a different chapter now
The most agonizing part for me is seeing people younger than myself who seem to have their interests aligned and are doing well. They’ve decided a path, meanwhile I’m paralyzed by the many directions I could take.
Health and fitness helps anything that gets in the way of that really isn’t worth your time
Here’s something to calm the many directions dilemma, those people are probably not completely sure of what they want. Sure they “seem” to have everything together but you really never know the truth behind anything
Everyone’s too dramatic. Go make money with something practical you enjoy and have hobbies. Done. Military will put you to work if you can’t decide. Easier to be a cop or firefighter after. Nobody with clean running water and internet is “suffering.” Don’t be a sissy.
look up the Paradox of Choice
@@JayBhro I’ve seen that video, interesting perspective for sure. Recently getting out a very structured environment I.e. the military has created this sudden onslaught of possibilities. Making me feel all the more pressure due to the fact that I’m mid 20’s attempting to reboot my life. Thanks for the advice btw.
The reality is life never gets easier and the later you wait to start adulting the harder it is
Love it,that is a great way to put it. Short,sweet,and to the point
Your children will be slaves sheep 🐑 🤣 wake up
That’s great. I’m guessing that’s why u chose to be a watermelon slice 🍉
it gets easier when you get social security. im 43. once i hit 62. NO MORE!! you think WORKING is bad? FINDING A JOB AND SENDING OUT APPLICATIONS IS EVEN WORSE!!! I DONT WANT TO DO THAT SHIT !!! so either im gonna make big money with crypto or end up living through life until retirement and just kick it till i die. either way, i dgaf
SMH 🤦 stop being a beta simple as that
Ok so…I’m a 24 year old autistic woman, who hasn’t done much in life. I technically never graduated school, never got a diploma, or a degree, I never went to college, never got an actual job, never got a license, or a car, I still live with my parents, and I also never dated anyone…I’m celibate. So, I’ve had my days where I felt like a failure, felt anxious and doubtful of myself, and over thinking a lot. But…that’s ok, I just am mentally handicapped, I struggle to do most things because I am autistic. So, it’s ok that I struggle more, I’m still growing and learning, I’m still learning how to be an adult and discipline myself…become more independent. I know I’ll still need help from my family, they don’t mind helping me…because they love me regardless of my struggles. I do have some stuff going on tho…I’m a streamer here on CZcams, I’m a digital artist, a video editor, and an aspiring music maker, game designer, and voice actor. I have a lot of aspirations and dreams, and I hope I can achieve most of them. I just wanna make great quality content for people to enjoy, I don’t wanna become famous or rich, but still successful in my own way. I wish to become…multi talented, and become bigger than myself in a way…make something truly amazing.
I'm in a similar situation as you. I did work a job and I drive. It never really got me anywhere. I'm unemployed now and extremely depressed. I never had any of my social needs met because of autism. You're not alone. I hope you are happy and find success!
It's great that you've given your life meaning outside of other peoples opinions
I'm in a very similar situation. I'm a 20-year-old man who's an aspiring artist, animator, and content creator. Well, I used to have strong aspirations, but I stopped making videos 2 years ago. I just haven't had the motivation for it.
I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome and ADD when I was 3 years old. I had a pretty decent social life in elementary school, probably because I was attending ESE classes at the time. Once I graduated from elementary, however, I lost contact with my friends, and people started to pick on me for being the _"weird kid"._ That's when I started getting into art, and I used it as an escape. My grades didn't suffer, but I became extremely depressed and separated from reality. I met one close friend in high school who was also autistic, and we bonded because of our similar interests and struggles. She's the one that inspired me to really improve on my art. Then when I was in 11th grade, the pandemic started, and we slowly drifted away from each other.
The past 4 years felt like a blur... I can legally drive, but I only recently accrued enough credits to graduate from high school. The system promised me a diploma in the mail, but I'm still waiting on it. My parents won't help me get a job until I receive the diploma, so for the moment I'm just kinda stuck. Once I get my diploma, my plan is to get a basic job and save up money to move out of my parent's house, but the world's looking really bleak right now, so I'm not sure how far I'll get. I'm in a very confusing situation right now. Someday I hope to be fully independent.
I'm glad you didn't let the world stomp out your dreams and you went as far with them as you did. You have a very strong will. Just wanna let you know that you're not alone in your struggles. :)
i believe everyone has a unique path, there’s no right path or wrong one just your very own!
Ya same.. I have great life until Jan 29 hit and I got schizophrenia. It all turn downhill.. I gain weight and unemployment.
Its over for us mid-20s dudes, it's time for jazz now 😭
It's always time for jazz, whether it's over or not

"So long as you have desires, your desires will always find a way to outweight your contemptment" very powerful quote. Stoicism and Budhism tells us to "Get rid of our desires", and that's exactly what has worked out for me the most: detatchment. Detatchment from the expectation of achievement; Detatchment from fulfilling society's expectations; Detachment from acquiring useless, empty material possesions, and in that journey I have began to find what I set out to find in the first place: Fullfillment, Freedom and, above all, Peace.
Excellent realisation and me too bro. Also, he said contentment. Contempt changes the meaning of the whole thing.
Yeah, I said contentment. But detachment is powerful.
Truthfully, I’ve given up on the idea of giving up desires and detaching fully. I know desire is the cause of my suffering, but I choose to desire anyway. I like having things to work toward. Though the things you said one should detach from are really good
@@ColeHastingsHanging out with friends will get rid of your desires. As long ad you don’t drink
@@ColeHastings I like this. I think it's always about balance between desire and detachment. If we always desire, we will never be satisfied. If we are always detached, we will also never be satisfied, because we'd just be programmed to do things without imagination or wonder. Desire is like the fire that sparks us to wonder, take action and gives us direction, while detachment from the outcome will help us be more present and focus on the process. This will help us decide if our desires are fulfilling or not.
@@diamondminerx000 very well said!
Being a dude in your 20s in 2024 is straight up veteran difficulty lmao

Mein Leben
I grew up really poor, and had being living on my own since 17. I'm playing on super mega nightmare mode
Try being +30 and still like that...gets pretty frustrating
It's hard to make a living nowdays and the system is rigged 😶
you'd be surpised how many that age are living that way
Can confirm it’s a thing at 41.
Even with everything working against you, it’s not too late to become a new identity. Keep fighting, brother
I am soon to be 33. Time goes by. I lose time thinking instead of taking action. I also feel insecure. This hinders me to change.
Remember, your path is unique. Society makes us believe that “there is one right way to live life”. Everyone moves at their own pace, there is no rush to greatness. You don’t have to have x by a certain age, or obtain x amount of whatever, or match up to societal norms to be happy! As long as you are satisfied with your journey and making it the way you want to make it that’s all that matters. Society tries to keep people in boxes but our souls long to be authentic and break free.
Soyciety
Its not your fault. I spent years and years blaming myself for being poor, even though i worked my ass off all through my 20s. I did everything i could possibly do and constantly got doors slammed in my face for years. Till one day i realized the system is designed to keep people down or keep people up. You have less choice than you think, it all depends on what class you were born into. After all this time i finally found a descent job, but it was by luck, not skill or work ethic.
It also largely depends on connections and luck. My life was much the same as yours, busting my ass only to get fucked by the companies because some lazy fuckhole co-worker had better connections and was liked by my boss. I now have a pretty nice job I like, but I won't bust my back for anyone anymore.
It's all about who daddy knows or owns
I too felt this way until I found the power of budgeting and discipline. If you can learn to practice delayed satisfaction and minimalisms then you can build a foundation that will build a much more free life
I wonder why more people don't have the mindset of "Anything that keeps me down, I will bring it down."
@derekgriffin8151What a great way to look at things man! ❤
I’m turning 40 this year and feel more or less the same way. This was an excellent video. Thank you Cole :)

@@keithparker1346that’s good, stay young as long as possible, have fun
You always manage to make it so incredibly relatable. Sometimes the conclusion or message it similar to what other people are bringing but with the way you tell the stories I can actually connect to it way better
Bro, you have no idea how fucking relatable this is. I mean, you probably do - which is why you are making the videos - but its so reassuring to know there are others going through virtually the exact same thing I am.
I wish I had this knowledge during My 20's
@@ogvelociraptor205 Don't stress it bro, im 31 lol
I'm a 30 yo man-child by choice atm. I worked hard 18-28 but saw little to no reward for it. Now I've decided I'm not going to contribute any more to a system that hates me and I'm going to wait for the collapse. Good luck out there.
I’ve finally gotten to this stage in life at 25, it took years of confusion and anxiety, but I’m now here.The future is going to be much different than what the previous generations of young people lived through. In the coming days, knowledge and intelligence are going to be some of the most valuable attributes to have. In other words, Being smart will get you places. I would say to Master self discipline and avoid indulging in pleasures. Don’t be afraid of anything in life, and if you are, learn to confront that fear. Love one another. And listen to that inner voice deep down that always knows what’s best. You do these things I think you’ll be happy.
I'm 25 years, I really can say I'm stronger now than when I was 21, 22, or 23 years old, But it took me a long path to get through, I think that having direction in our lives is important, and you mentioned that too. Finding something to be worth to fight and to reach it is what I've just made it, I really wanna be the best version of myself, Life is what is, this may sound weird, but at my 25's I don't feel old, I feel that I didn't my best in the past, but Never is too late to start again.
its all fun and games till you hit 40. but that is 15 years away for you. in 15 years AI will be in every facet of society. you might be unemployed forever. who knows. will see.
I was half asleep on the couch when this video autoplayed and it hit me like a rock, I shed a tear even. I am almost 18 and for the past year I've been trying to find myself and work on what I enjoy the most, my biggest fear is not reaching my goals and this video really made me feel comforted.
Ur so young man I promise u got so much time
Finding a job at 18 is a great start, I didn't find a job till I was around 20 cause I was depressed and didn't want to do anything. Its led to me not knowing a lot of adult things when I should, but I'm learning, it gets easier even from a late start. You're doing it at the proper time so don't stress about it.
@@NoahWoodard-dn3kv starting at 20 isn’t late lol
@@Tony99_xx_ I literally didn't do anything for like 3 years or even attempt to, so yes I was still young, but was late on actually doing anything
Thank you cole its crazy to realize the upgrade you achieved through all of the pain and lessons, your a great guy cole this I will be the startup to this new chapter in my life.
I’ve been thinking the same thing recently, particularly exchanging “worse problems for less worse ones.” That’s a realization I came to a few days ago and it made me realize that I am living probably the best I can right now, and it’s an interesting way to dive into the future.
dude you are a mastermind and i’m so glad you are here making content like this.
Man this vid made me cry for some reason! So that means this is one of your best vids so far imo🔥
at the end of every video of yours that i finish watching i always end up just sayibg wow. your videos enlighten so many thoughts, so many ideas, so many feelings, that it just blows my mind every time. great video.
Makes me so happy to hear that. That’s always the goal. Thank you for watching
Amongst all the videos that are made on these subjects, you always manage to stand out.
Thank you for your work!
The most important thing in life is the community around us and loved ones; if those relationships are healthy and fulfilling then almost nothing else matters.

Hey there! That is okay, you know what will help? Slowly detach. Step by step. Start a new job, earn your own money. Work out a little bit, start once a week. And if you can, start reading once a week. And slowly level that up. Thats the obly thing that really helps, no nees to turn around 180 degrees all at once! Youll get there eventually man :)

Amazing video watched till the end.Learnt a lot. Thank You
Towards the end when Cole mentions that the end goal you're looking for will not be there it made me rethink of a concept I had about goals in life. They are like mountain ranges where you have to climb that mountain you desire (goal) and in the summit you'll be able to see the next mountains up ahead, taller and more beautiful (next goals), the purpose is to keep going as the process is what matters most.
You're alive and healthy in a world filled with beauty. Just got to get out there and enjoy the scenery.
why are you so relatable cole?

I've felt this many times. Except I'm a lot younger and am prone to experiencing crises.
I think people are piggybacking on others genius, but in reality they forget to be authentic and hence can't make genius thoughts on a regular basis hence if u see Einstein he was very alone and focused all on physics, if u live what u wanna be the rules come to you naturaly . People lack the wisdom to be genius all the time hence being a God like buddha is the fittest way to live, we all believe that nature is genius hence it will live and take out the fact that a astriod can wipe it out no matter thc genius of nature hence buddha transended all of that by detaching and acceptting all that is this moment because if u are alive you have a chance to be a God alive = god if people understand this we all can start producing our own authentic life it is not hinging on genius systems like social media, people have understood this but they don't practice it because they think they don't have time but without this what are they doing they don't realise this, if everyone realise this everyone will behave more concerned about their own genius life, it takes time to be genius hence start with the only state of achieving it by being a God
Great video
It's videos like these that make me believe that you are the best self help channel on here. Everything is relatable and down to earth unlike alot of these other "self help gurus". There's alot of hypocrites and contradictory people out here but you, my friend, are not one of them.
Thanks, just turned 20 today. I will achieve what you’re talking about. I call it “adventure” the fine balance between pleasure and work where you are never working or pleasuring your self which ultimately lead to more dreadful work. This cycle is too common amongst people and the reason why “life sucks” in my opinion. Achieving adventure, is what you basically did. By increasing your ability to make ur own decisions, and reducing the amount of choices you’re able to make, your in an adventure state. Limited in pleasure and maximum freedom with what’s left, resulting in success.
I'm currently 16 and I have a soft plan for my future. If I relatively follow it (as it adapts) I reckon I should be alright, and have a good foundation to provide for my potential future kids- It's not completely thought out or intricate but at the end of the day I don't think i'd want it to be; life never really goes 100% according to plan anyways lol. Also, this was a pretty good video bro, the main points were an interesting perspective I don't think I've fully thought about yet so I appreciate it lol
epic storytelling
Been awhile since I watched a video glad to be back
i love the everyday philosophical relavent wordly knowledge
Life is basically a game except it’s rigged in the favor of certain people so hard and you just need to be ok with that
Real
I agree that it's like a rigged game and easier for certain people, but we don't have to blindly accept it. We can fight against it and try to rewrite the rules.

Yes, after 7 years hard work and self improvement, fittness, diet, hard work, investment, earn a lot money, got fit, lost the dicipline and motivation. I back again now. I more and more bieleve in free will
I resonate a lot with your video. The one thing you didn't touch on was connection. If there's anything I've learned from the ups and downs of my life, the most fulfillment comes from having genuine connection with others. Something especially hard in today's world, made even harder by losing yourself in your work pushing the imaginary finish line of your dreams further and further away. This video felt very lonely, and all I want to say is fulfillment is found in a balance of pushing your projects forward AND connecting with the people around you and developing lasting relationships
I fidnt realize that this was your channel i accidentally unsubscribed because i was going theough a subscription cleanup I'm very happy i found it again. I used to see a lot of your videos but i stipped getting notifications.
Spent all my teens Isolated in my room playing video games,Now im 20 and slowly fixing up my bad habits. I dont know what life might have for me in the future but ill try to enjoy everyday and give my best possible. like Dale Carnegie says "living in day-tight compartments".
Thanks for realize some points in my life!
Hello, Cole! I am 19, on the verge of reaching 20s. I am currently in college. INSTANT GRATIFICATION is our primary killer of our TRUE POTENTIAL.

No wonder young people prefer virtual worlds to the real one. You go to the dating market with 50 other guys, and she prefers to choose a child rabist or a criminal who has the most attractive face with a teardrop tattoo under his eye. You go to the job market and no one wants your degree because of college degree inflation, AI development, the shitty global economic and political situation, and other things you have no control over.
The number of lonely and desperate people among Gen-Z, and the number of male suicides among young men will be unimaginable by 2030 if nothing changes in this society. And it seems like it's only getting worse every year.
*P. S.* I'm neither complaining nor projecting my own life experience here, i'm just describing of what the young folks going through right now in US.
Luckily, i was born a little bit earlier before the world has lost its marbles. But i have a nephew and a younger brother, and i know what they're going through right now.
I now regret taking a hiatus from completing my tertiary studies, I could've dodged most of the mess right now that got kick started by a certain virus, but at that time I was so tired and burnt out from high school and college that I couldn't keep pushing on. Things just don't work out for weak people like me, no loving partner, struggling at my studies and can't even get an internship let alone an actual job.

Doesn't feel like it, but thank you, have a good day!
Another Cole banger. Also I see that handarbeit on your keyboard 👀
Real recognize real
how you don't have 10= million subs is outrageous, great video!
He just have lost at least one, the overthinking and overcomplication in his attitude is just depressing for me personally.
This is why I’m Christian. I’m here to live out what God has planned out for me and I trust his path.
this video format is sooo amazing
really appreciate that cause i really enjoyed making it
You have a great sense of humor. 5/5stars cheers
Discipline and self-control, brother. Just started getting out of a rut myself, and i admit, it took a while to get started. I learned we all move to our own beat, but as long as that initial push happens. From there, it's all a maintenance game. Keep what you made and keep improving upon it to your own groove. Remember, guts had it worse.
Love it!
Thank you
I really want to be a successful animator one day. This video is me but I’m somewhere in the middle of still being on the grind and waiting for that success to come whilst enjoying it.
I loved this video. I inherited financial stability from my parents with a paid off house and car at 21. At 16-20 i resembled this character with no real work or idea of what I wanted to do with my life.. add drinking and other substances and I was spiraling to nothing but managed to quit the drink and now I work with my dads company full time and deliver pizza on weekends for bonus money. All any of us can really do is work as hard as possible and be frugal. Isolate, form a contrarian idea, execute on it massively and success will follow.
After going through probably the worst two years of my life AKA highschool. I have recovered and actually gained a lot of confidence. I used to be extremely shy and quiet, now I bet I could make friends easily, it’s just that after going through that much stress alone my ego is too high and I used to low key be a hater so it still feels uncomfortable to interact with people
Thank you for that
I want my choices to be my own and now here's a word from our sponsor
The fact he predicted my age tho is too funny
I looked at my audience demographics 🫣
@ColeHastings funny, esp considering youtube is horrible when it comes to recommending me content im interested in
Same lol
I don't know what i desire.I am just existing.How can i improve?
Find something worth desiring
oooooh,that's the most interesting part about the problem
Who's asking?
Why do you want to improve in the first place. It is good to be free from desire as desire is the cause of suffering though you say I do not have desire though you do in the natural survival sense which is all u need
U only need to desire in the moment. You hungry u eat, u tired u sleep. Life is simple, people's egos make it complicated.
Thank you.
I was in the army active duty 4 years. (20 years old to 24). When I left I thought to myself “I can’t wait to get out”, I was so annoyed with getting told what to do. Little did I know it had me stuck when I got out, everyday I have a task, even if it sucked I was told to do it. I am now 25, I stream on twitch trying to find my purpose, so yes this video helps so much. I’m slowly starting to work on myself and life is catching up to me so I have to move up. So again I say THANK YOU ❤️.
Find a woman you can tolerate and establish dominance early. I'm a single 40 year old man child and my father is a pushover for my mom. Learn. Adapt. Overcome.
This is very beautiful
If things were easier it would be nice to all meet up and chill, help eachother out and support eachother. This life is very unfulfilling and lonely. Its hard to meet new people. Its very easy to feel like youre the only one feeling this way but were all in the together
I feel. This way between relationships I’m now taking a break after a situationship -friendship I knew of 4 years… I’m 3 months and justyea
That’s what I realize. Shit was mad weird when It hit me. Being in situation where it made me realize Im blessed to say I went through a change to notice and fix what I needed to do.
3:33 "consuming content to get my brain to be quiet" I'm sure there's better things I could be doing at 2:51 AM than binge watching CZcams but hey it's not like I have to go to work in the morning
Perfect
Much of what is happening is simply due to neglect. With technological advances comes an illusion of ease and comfort; wherein some adults of the world are quick to assume the worst in the next generation of children. Some of us are hardly ever given the opportunity to truly flourish, and lived our childhood in seclusion out of fear from our guardians.
But we cannot give up on ourselves simply because everyone else gave up on us.
Thanks a lot, Cole!
Lots of people in their 30s-50s living like that too. Some people never grow up
Relatable ❤
14:03 This quote really resonated with me. I've always pondered over this idea of absolute freedom, which is paradoxically somewhat of a prison. When we have all the choices in the world, we are now subconsciously burdened with having to scour so many options find out which is the best. Yet the best experience of freedom is having the options to choose among a a reasonable few. This idea can be explored in several other ways. If you have one job and no hobby, you're dull. If you got 3 hobbies, you're well rounded. But if you have a million ones, you're just ADHD. The idea of religion, marriage, law all encompasses constraints, and people wilfully embrace them in order experience limitations. These limitations reduce the options to a reasonable few which prevents us from drifting eternally from one direction to another.
As someone who just got out of the army, i feel this so hard. Everything in this video i relate to so much. I have no idea what to do, i want to do something that i enjoy, or thag helps people, but in this economy i also need to make good money. Its all so frustrating, but i dont know man.
good call. might try this myself....
THAT BERSERK TAT ON YOUR LEFT FOREARM IS SOOOOO FIRE W
Why try? when our society is waiting to beat you back down? Im 26 with no job or appartment or women cause i got to much beggage not to mention if you do have a job not like youll make a living youll pay your bills and still not be able to afford to eat this is life and it fucking sucks
exactly what i’m thinking, it’s as if people forget we die in the end and none of this actually matters lol. i work my ass off to just stay alive and suffer. ridiculous!
I liked the part with Sisiphus a lot. ❤❤
I’m 36 still live at home
Parents disabled while people enjoyed being 18-30 I worked 2 jobs to support them and I hate them for it
I was still a kid but life is hard for them.
But when does my life start 50-?
Lmao I’m hapless and just ready to die and get life over with
