Hey, I'm Cole Hastings. I'm a vegan athlete/content creator with a passion for videography/video editing, among other things. I help people build themselves physically/mentally through fitness and self help videos.
why do anything if we all die, why do anything at all, why do anything if we are going to die, why do anything if nothing matters, nihilistic optimism, optimistic nihilism, nihilism philosophy, nihilistic philosophy, why should i do anything, if we all die tomorrow, nothing really matters in life, nothing really matters in the end
I’m 26 yo now, and since I was a child I ask that to myself.
I am exhausted. At this point I’m just existing to not let my parents down
Hi, I'm 17 and been getting the same thoughts. How are you now?
@@lactovaciloo the same bro, I try to shake it off when its too tough. You gotta think about the people that love you feeling sad
@@lactovaciloohow r u now
Looks like im not the only one , since childhood
@@tvndra_7446 I hope you can keep up my friend, maybe you find not worth it, but there is people that will get sad without you
The older I get the more I ask this question. Just thinking about it gives me crippling anxiety. Sometimes it's better just not to think, it's emotionally draining.
yeah
Just do what makes you happy in the end and eventually life will fall into place, despite its nothingness!
@@chowdersalt the question I would suggest you asking yourself is are you happy with yourself. Start here and then find a deeper understanding within yourself. Just a suggestion/tip. Hope it helped.
"The key to happiness isn't to find meaning, it's to distract your self with meaningless nonsense until you die." Mr Peanutbutter.
Like the guys says I suppose you should take the positives from it. Nothing really matters and don’t fear death , fear an un lived life.
I’m always sad and lonely everywhere I fucking go bruh..I can’t take it anymore. Life just feels the same everyday and it is in a loop where it keeps repeating lol
Same, gonna off myself anytime soon cus everyone will forget me anyways. Even the most famous person don't get remembered after 100 or 200 years
How are you doing?
@@homie7218are you okay man?
I hope u're ok ❤
@@homie7218I feel the same. Might as well off my self in a way where everyone will remember me in history books yk what I mean?
But then again, you are almost always remembered by someone you met once, maybe classmates we had in preschool. Someone will never forget you.
"We struggle so hard throughout our entire life to be liked and to make as much money as possible, and then we grow old and we get to the end of our life, we realize that, that stuff was completely meaningless."
Absolutely it is there’s actually no point at the end of it
Exactly
Stupid question. If you get rich, you can provide for relatives, family if you die so they may remain healthy and beneficial. People don't tend to care because they haven't done anything that made a mark in this small world, I also dwell upon this question but if you care about others it may be useful for next generation
@@novatic7222 maybe he wrote it from another perspective, one regarding an Individual rather than family members. I’d say what he said was true for the most part.
You were working for something. The work was the thing that had meaning, and you gave it meaning by living.
I wish someone had told me when I was younger not to worry about tomorrow what they call the future. This would have saved me time, and worry. I have accomplished so much now that I am older than I did when I was young. I did a lot of research on other people, creatives, artists, singers, and other people that did everything in life. Some killed themselves. Others died. What I learned is that others take their works, and sell it, or most end up in thrift stores where they get a second chance. I usually watch antiques road show. Some people just find art work in the garbage, or garage sales. These days I do things in moderation. I don't care if my works are famous, or not. Some things don't matter. What matters is living a good, and healthy life. Don't live for material things. Everything fades away, or people take what they want. The biggest illusion is the thought that anyone will remember you. No one will. It's best to just keep going in life, because money cannot buy youth. It cannot bring you back alive either. Take care. Enjoy life.
Such a life changing comment
True money cannot buy youth! You are reminding me to enjoy life and not only hustle! But i will say that i don't agree with you that noone will remember you. Your impact on earth is not nothing. If you are daily spreading good energy, positive vibes, joy with people around you, then you are doing your part. And subconsciously, your positive impact will ripple through your community long after you are gone.
@@callme_adam how old are you brother?
@@user-de4ow5gx3k why?
This is the exact realisation I came to a few weeks ago. I believe this is the only and best philosophy to live stress free and not worry about results and just do our best. Thanks for the video👍🏻
Thanks for watching!
thats sheep mindset
@@Bonebounder93
Ironically it starts where it ends just give it some time and you will get there too
A few years ago I was in a really bad spot mentally and I came to this same conclusion after about a week of thinking and introspection. It has greatly improved my life since. Great video, keep doing what you're doing man.
Same with me
Hello 2 yrs ago you
I’m 54, 3 days ago my mam passed away and in 2008 I lost my dad, I have now learned that possessions don’t mean anything to me , they’re meaningless, hopefully I will feel better as the months roll by, it’s so gut wrenching right now and nothing really matters, after losing my dad I’ve always laughed at people obsessing about small problems and I think they will have a rude awakening one day as have i.
I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious Parents. May you (and we) find the strength to get through these losses. I have also come to the realisation that possessions don't mean anything when my Dad's health was challenged.
I agree, I lost my Mom yesterday and my Dad November 3rd 2020. A part of me envies people who haven't experienced it yet. And another part of me is happy for them. I just wish we got to keep our loved ones. Everything else we can do without.
@@starflyer3219 sorry for your loss, my mums funeral was eventually on jan 23rd and my aunties 2 days before, at the moment I’m ok and works keeping me busy but earlier I was thinking even though my mother was immobile for the last year she was there and now with both parents gone I feel alone, like nobody has my back anymore, it’s like starting a new life , I’ve got plenty of people around me , the mrs etc... and feel ok but I know there’s a long way to go, just get up every morning and carry on I guess .
@@julianmorris9951 Hi Julian, it's the same feeling I'm having at the moment, where Earthly possessions don't mean anything anymore. Today is dad's 6th death anniv, and my mom is immobile as well and sickly. I'm single and 51, and although I have living siblings around, it's my daughter who's been making me go on with life and do my best to live until I can...
I'm sorry for your loss, going through gut wrench at the moment.
I really needed a video on this topic man. You have no idea how much I’ve been thinking about this question. “Why be anything at all?” “What’s the point?” These questions coupled with s*icidal thoughts... it’s been a struggle to say the least. So thank you.
It always gets better my friend! I know how it feels, and it feels like it'll never end. But when you come out of the darkness abundance is waiting for you. Love you dog ❤
@@ColeHastings thank you so much Cole ! But the real problem starts there , I don't feel connected to any of my friend anymore. I feel misunderstood, they always be talking abt surface things.... I al learning to how to live happily alone and be your bestfriend.
Can you make a video related to that loneliness and confusion in our heads ... I get so exhausted with these feelings
@@Sunflower_that_loves_you You will find better people in your life, but only if you'll let them in.
i suggest you read, "the myth of sisyphus" by albert camus. He deeply goes into this nihilistic topic.
@@danbone you are right , I am trying to trust people
i always come up with questions that make people think im crazy but everytime i ask it on youtube, i see your videos answering them. thank you so so much, cole. thanks for all your work. it means the whole world to me.
That lingering feeling you have is what I feel daily. I don’t have any passions or goals to push towards. If life is just work go home sleep and do it all over again I don’t want to live it.
This kid must've nailed all his writing assignments.
Hahaha nah, most of my English teachers hated me. I only became decent at writing through youtube
In high school, that was my reality, then I published a book after college lol
@@ColeHastings Do you write out your videos before creating them ?
Schools sucks.
First , school is worst then hell itself ,I doubt he nailed his writing in class from how he talked when he was a teen
Man I’ve been so depressed lately, thanks for this.
Much love Cedric ❤ keep pushing through
It’s been 2 years now, how are you now ?
Me2 I'm depressed
@@GigiLearnToLive Im friends with him. He unfortunately did a sin. 😢
@@MrBitterestTexasi am sorry about that 😔
Don't live life stressing about another persons opinion on you In the end sadly we all die and it all won't matter. Chase your dreams while you here,be the best version of yourself, and do what makes you happy.
love you all
Now here's the most beautiful love story: Me and you? Though we have fallen short of the glory of God by comitting just one sin which we deserve death and hell for, the Good News is that God loved us so much that He, All-Powerful and All-Knowing Spirit came to earth in a human body as Jesus Christ, the fullness of God bodily, to live a perfect life keeping and fulfilling all laws and commandments, not sinning ONCE, and then sacrificing Himself on a cross for YOU! By shedding His Blood, He paid the penalty for your sin so that you could be washed clean from all sins and develop a personal relationship with God and spend eternity together with Him in Heaven. How awesome is that?! That's God's grace. All you have to do to accept His gift of grace is believe from your heart that Jesus is God, He shed His precious Blood for you and He is risen from the dead, He's in full control of your life that He rules over you. Don't trust in your own goodness but fully trust in Jesus and follow Him. It's not by works or being a good person, it's only by God's grace through faith in Him. Jesus desires a personal relationship with you. Much love and God bless you!
I didn't ask to be here; two people had sex and well, here I am. Learned quickly that if I don't do anything, I'll die (hunger, no shelter, etc.). But I also learned very quickly that your health is fragile. Once you start getting chronic illnesses, it just makes things much harder and hence, more challenging for you to survive. We wonder why people commit suicide. Now we know why.
Moral of the story: Don't give a crap about life. Survive and live how you want to live..just don't worry about it. Enjoy it. Don't live for others.
I have a simple philosophy. If we focus too much on death, we miss out on life.
True
No bro death brings life to present moment
But why should we live?
@@cgtainstudios.idk but u have a purpose or curious to find the answer, but the truth we don't know, even nihilism can't fully explain of meaning of life or living, they is new perspective, belief and opinion, the good and the bad, u need to know that we know nothing and that what life is purpose about. To solved, To explain, To experience.
@@cgtainstudios.as muslim i believed that Allah (God) is testing you and the way were act will determine what happens after we die
Love the content, i was actually thinking about this yesterday.
I caught myself thinking about this yesterday as well. Lol.
@@jeremyscloset I am thinking about this since I turned 12 . lol
I am trying to figure out point of living my entire life
What was I brought here if I was going to just fail like idk I dokt do nothing with my life except to enjoy every moment where I’m having fun ans like happy
You thinking of it and got it in suggest like me phone can read in our mind now? That freak mouahahaha
One day we all are gonna die , and nothing is gonna matter , but as long as you are alive , the only thing that matters is living a life that you want to live and being a person you want to be
Round about way of saying nothing at all
Yes Amen!
If a life that i want to live is not possible then how it is ?
@@kingriversea then the problem is you. Amount of desire= suffering/pain.
@@ex-hindu315that's bullshit
I literally think you just saved my year I am really depressed right now I can't find the meaning to live but this really helped thank you
Hope you’re doing ok man,everyone just needs some guidance from others sometimes
Have reasoning, think why the Almighty Allah created us for, and its certainly not for listening to Satan who wants us in hell.
Now here's the most beautiful love story: Me and you?

Bro your gonna make me cry this is exactly what I needed to hear!
I DID CRY.
To me life is as simple as existing, enjoying my existence, and some sort of RPG leveling up. Through the good or bad, ups and downs, there’s no other experience like life but that’s what makes it worth it. Going through and experiencing everything. My main motivation is just doing shit just because, no other reason.
Love that
The meaning of life lies there where the question is not asked. Because vision sees beyond the meaningless, not with any effort, but because it knows there is nothing meaningless. Don’t know, it’s a bit hard to explain, not because it’s complex, but because it’s so simple that there are no words to describe it, and it gives me great great joy.
No experience would matter cause once you're dead, you will be back to square one which will be the state before your birth. Life is like a limited pointless period of time which made everyone suffer.
It's basically pointless.
@@Warlord_Megatron least with RPG, characters can live forever lol.
Jay Bomb that is true, but the live an existence reliant on someone else to control them
There is no meaning in life, when I realized this.. all my anxiety dissappear.. I am able to find peace through nihilism..
@@NelsonMandanguthen sometimes i think about it why do we go to school in the first place if we live to sustained source of happiness
@@JackHere825we go to school so we can have a chance to not be a failure but really school is useless you waste years of your life learning to eventually get a job to do that job for the rest of your life earn money to look after yourself live sad live happy and eventually you die that’s it life is bad if you make it bad gotta break the rules sometimes to be happy.
The question this man is showing starts making sense if we now consider the existence of a superior being (God) and we see this life as a period of our existence where we have the chance to gain the prize (heaven) acording to how many good deeds and how many people we have helped. Personal care like doing excercise must be seen as a way to improve your capability of serving God better. Proof of the existence of this superior being can be found for example googling about St Thomas of Aquino's 5 ways of proofing the existence of God.
@@googlestore3478 what if you died and don’t see a god then what will you do…and don’t say more bull shit like he will be there, because you don’t actually know your just believing not knowing.
@@VryScryVcwhat is a failure? Is failure defined by a pointless society habitated by replaceable humans?
Beautiful message! 💯
Thank you!
So true
Hi, Kat. I purchased you ebook 😊
Like that Linkin Park song " In the end, it doesn't even matter "
Indeed it does not😮
Thank you for this. Been struggling to understand what's the point of studying and working hard to become something just for the sake of trying to earn good money when I'm not going to need it and won't be able to take any of these material things with me when I leave this Earth, in 10 or 20 years, or maybe earlier than that, but because you highlighted that we should just do good to ourselves and to others while we are here, I guess that mentality will help me push through and work to get the money to help my relatives who are needing financial help, while also probably trying my best to enjoy life as it comes everyday. Just think that I should not succumb to pressures at work and not be too hard on myself.
just try to live life in the moment. do things that you enjoy. i think too many people look to the future. concentrate on the now
For some, this is probably just a phase. Some people go through it in their life, it’s no big deal. Just some existential angst.
But for others, it’s not a phase. It becomes a permanent perspective on life and if you’ve ever truly been to the point where “you don’t give a flying fuck”, then you’ll realize that once you reach that point, you cannot ever go back. Once you truly understand the nihilist perspective, then you cannot undo that. If you’ve been here then you know what I’m talking about.
If it is just a phase, then you can wait it out. It will go away soon enough.
But if it’s a permanent outlook on life, well then, just embrace it. Nothing matters, so deal with it. Sure it can feel empty, but what can you do about it? Life is pointless, so what? Just accept this perspective and go with it.
Life is life, death is death. This is how the world works. You don’t matter, I don’t matter, nothing matters. The sooner you accept it, the easier it will be. Life is overacted af anyway.
Thank you
i believe in God but dang i love this oulook
@@stanfatou2002 me too. My goal here, is that I'll just be a better human being, And praise God for my blessings, and just enjoy and not worry
I've felt this way ever since I was ten years old. I'm 27 now. I do feel quite empty but at the same time I try to not stress anything at all, Because I realize in the end it won't matter. I have my family and some friends and I am grateful for them.
In this life the connections I've made with people are the only thing that matters to me.
Great then I guess killing ourselves isn't such a big deal.
I’m usually in this mindset, but lately the big sad has hit me. This video grounded me. Thanks.
Might aswell give me your instagram while we are still here
Not Christian but I believe in God and religion
Bcz a higher entity who created us is the only one who can tell us what we should do, its is the only way to get the answer of "why"
As science can only answer "how"
Besides all the deep and inspiring content, your talking is really helping me relax due to your soothing, sonorous voice. Just like a calming podcast.
Agree. Cole has a great radio/ podcast voice
Thank you!
I keep juggling with both ways of perception of life just the way you have described it. The only thing that makes me realise what life is all about, it’s just being kind to others, do good and no harm to the people around you and the people who knows you. This is the only achievement I feel is the greatest for me to really settle down understanding the ‘purpose’ of life. Rest of the life just simply goes on.
I 1st had this question when I was 8 yrs old. A rather disturbing state of mind to be in for someone that is still fairly new to life. I did not have the parent child relationship where you could just hang out w/mom and or dad and have a conversation. Children should be seen & not heard, if you are seen you obviously need something to do, so here have a random chore.
I went to 22 different schools by 9th grade. A couple of the schools offered bible study. It was completely optional as long as a parent signed a waver. I found some ease of suffering from existential crisis so to speak through the possibility of an afterlife.
Then I had children. From the moment I held my 1st born, I had absolutely 0 questions as to why or what is the point of life or of doing anything. I had my answer and didn't feel that empty unanswered question of purpose of existence again.... until the tragic unexpected death of my father and 2 youngest children, and following a few years later my oldest. Again I was left in this pit of despair and utterly lost. Why do anything if we are all going to die and our lives and who we were eventually inevitably be forgotten.
How can we simply exist to not exist. It made absolutely no sense. Furthermore one does not get something from nothing period. Physicist will try to argue otherwise until blue in the face by using protons or atoms or vacuums or matter etc. but that is starting with something. When there is nothing... nothing is there (zip, zilch, zero, nada). And you certainly wouldn't have billions of years for things to evolve because if there is nothing.. who is watching the clock (har har) what clock, you cant get time from nothing.
I studied 100s of aspects from both sides of every idea & concept. Researched and fact checked (that is a daunting time consuming chore that often leads to disappointment or hair pulling). I went over historical record for just about every society/tribe/group/people/clan/sect/village and cultural beliefs practices, rise & fall, migration, interactions, integration, mass loss of population, wars, influence etc. Then studied energy dispersal, water memory & its fascinating connection & uniqueness related to each individual. I learned about documented cases of telepathy, telekinesis, pre cognition, automatic writing, NDE, déjà vu, unexplained scientifically medically dead people (no heart beat or pulse no brain activity) for over 24 hours suddenly come back to life, or a 6 mo. old baby stuck in carseat underwater in a flipped vehicle for at least 5 hours get pulled out & resuscitated & make full recovery.
I researched mass hypnosis, historical uses methods purpose of brainwashing (that was a rabbit hole of depression & concern). The butterfly effect, Karma, Murphy, law of attraction, reincarnation, mindfulness, will, heck even the concept of clothing or lack there of in different cultures. Energy fields, heart memory, miraculously cured, water witching, love. It all leads to a bigger picture that isn't restricted to this big rock we live on. There is more to just existing then not existing because there is something beyond physical life. Energy doesn't cease to exist, it is transferred to other forms it is continuous always changing.
I've always thought on similar lines of thought. I think I may of come upon a very different conclusion then you did basing on the things you talk about and the language you use. Regardless, I'm glad there's someone else who's noticed these things too.
What an idiot
U hit the nail right on the head. You are right, it’s like we work so hard to get rich and death comes like a thief in the night. U die and everything u work hard for you leave it behind. Have you ever seen a U Haul behind a hearse? I think we as humans don’t understand how life really should be on this earth. It’s like this with me, u only have so time on this earth and I don’t have time for negativity and dysfunctional people. I want to have a peace of mind and live. I work for myself and I can take trips when I want without having to ask someone can I take off and make a comfortable living for myself and my wife. It’s not about materialistic possessions it’s about being free and living your best life with those who u love and make the best out of life while u are here without confusion.
I know how u feel. I took a break from work almost to a year now. I'm lucky I have savings that I can live on & my hubby works. Before that I worked 35 years non-stop, I came to a point a year ago that my life is pointless, with a job that I'm sick of doing every day, same people, feeling like I check in prison in the mornings & check out in the evening. I'd like to go back to work but am afraid I'll be caught up again like a hamster in a wheel. Like you, I'd like to work for myself & take off whenever I like, just still thinking of what to do next. Just my 2 cents...
Living your best life with those you love? Even they will also become meaningless in the end just like I will. It's not like my love for them can make them immortal.
The only thing I want to know is the ultimate answer behind this temporary lifetime. Am I only here to exist temporarily just to inevitably face an excruciating spiritual demise afterwards due to the truth that I am a sinner who isn't worthy of resting in peace in God's Kingdom?
"If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do. Cause that's all there is. What we do now, today." - Angel: the series
The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves. -Alan Watts
@@Matty94 why panic when you can choose not to panic? one will scare you, other will flourish you. choose what you want - Albert Einstein
That sounds very contradictory
That’s kind of the point. Humanity is full of contradictions. The universe having no inherent greater meaning but individuals understanding that and still seeking their own personal meaning creates a contradiction. That contradiction is the absurd.
We choose how we react to the uncaring universe and every choice creates meaning within ourselves.
@@Matty94 But being alive necessarily means motion and evolution. Why would you sit down, meditate and rot away when all living organisms are in constant dynamic motion?
You exactly anwered the question I was asking myself these days. I'm going through a very hard phase of depression and can't figure out the point in anything... This way of turning this nihilistic perspective into something positive is truly amazing
Someday when I am old i will look back and remember these inspiring youtube videos
All people should really hear this message everyday.
Life is transient. We all die. Just do good onto yourself and onto others(including all living beings). Be the best you can be and then...vanish.. forever..for eternity!
Life is really meaningless.
I give a meaning to my life.
Even though I know at the
nothing matters.
Gio from Brazil
I know no one will see this but I hope you know you just helped me a lot more than you think been going through a rough time and this has helped me view things in a way I can deal with it so thank you
It puts you into a state where nothing matters in a good way. You truly don't give a shit about anything and you're just happy as fuck as a result, because nothing matters. Nothing matters, nothing means anything, there's nothing to do, there's no point, there's no goal but there's also no boredom, there's no negative meanings attached to the meaninglessness, it's just perfectly meaningless and it's awesome. You're basically just like sitting like a cat on a windowsill enjoying whatever experience is before it, just being and it feels amazing. 🦄 ,
EXACTLY. Knowing everything will end & everything is meaningless is the only thing that gets me out of bed everyday. It’s brought me so much peace in my life that I don’t have a single stress in the world cause we won’t even remember our life anyways 😂
You only live once, so make your life the best outta it

That's the philosophy of shut ins
This is what I think all the time the first part. I struggle with the second part of it.
You can't always do what you want and you can't control life's circumstances. I've been in zombie mode for a few years now struggling to do better because each time I do it ends in failure or something bad happens. What goes up must come down right?
When something great happens something horrible happens vis versa.
It's hard to get out of this mind set. How do you reprogram yourself to think differently?
How do you give yourself energy when you can barely get up?
There are a lot of aweful people in the world as well and with technology it is so hard to make real life long friends and build the important connections.
The loneliness and boredom is hard but what's harder is not having a good memory to make a change. I try and learn more and I can't remember the facts. Maybe I've been on auto pilot too long but my memory and brain struggle to retain information. On top of trying to also self motivated it's just tiring and all you want to do is crawl into bed and never leave.
If you could make a video and answer some of these questions that would be great.
I hope if you or anyone feel like this you don't stay stuck in it like me.
a while ago, i had the thought that, because bad things keep happening, i must be doing something wrong. but i was wrong. a good life not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them. no matter what happens in life, there will always be ups and downs, there will always be bumps in the road. the question is, are we going to let those bumps defeat us, or are we going to power past them and come out stronger? we need to live life like we will be dead tomorrow, make your life something your proud of, even if nobody remembers it, make it worth remembering.
You are here to be you, don’t try to be anyone else, you have a part to play, otherwise, why be here?
Love yourself, you deserve it, you’ve been through a lot.
Well said
@@ColeHastings thanks brother, really like your vids btw you inspire me :)
Your answer makes no sense.
Problem is in our current society you have to earn money day after day to survive somehow. For this you have to spend most of your time struggling in a job that doesn't fulfill you. Society doesn't care about your dreams and if you do what you wanna do. All it cares about is you doing work and paying taxes somehow. And if you don't want to starve to death you have to play according to the rules.
So unless you are rich or one of the few exceptions of people who are able to make a living out of their passion you are basically forced to live a meaningless life. That's the unfortunate truth about living in our present system
What if being you means being a serial killer?
I’ve literally been feeling this for the last week and woke up today with this exact same thought as the title of this video.
I asked myself this question about 8 years ago, I’m glad I chose to enjoy life for what it is because I’ve been so much happier since
I think that we gotta do everything, because we're gonna die.
Oh
Life is Crap, there is no way to sugarcoat it
Yeah life is shit, it’s the reason why I’m toxic and have no empathy for others
🤣🤣🤣
Now here's the most beautiful love story: Me and you? Though we have fallen short of the glory of God by comitting just one sin which we deserve death and hell for, the Good News is that God loved us so much that He, All-Powerful and All-Knowing Spirit came to earth in a human body as Jesus Christ, the fullness of God bodily, to live a perfect life keeping and fulfilling all laws and commandments, not sinning ONCE, and then sacrificing Himself on a cross for YOU! By shedding His Blood, He paid the penalty for your sin so that you could be washed clean from all sins and develop a personal relationship with God and spend eternity together with Him in Heaven. How awesome is that?! That's God's grace. All you have to do to accept His gift of grace is believe from your heart that Jesus is God, He shed His precious Blood for you and He is risen from the dead, He's in full control of your life that He rules over you. Don't trust in your own goodness but fully trust in Jesus and follow Him. It's not by works or being a good person, it's only by God's grace through faith in Him. Jesus desires a personal relationship with you. Much love and God bless you!

Even simple videos like these are things everyone needs, thanks man.
Hey Cole, I am very happy that you made a video about this topic. For about 2 weeks sit this question in my head. Why it all matters, when we all die. And you give me new ideas to think about and it really help me. I am overthinking so much and when someday nothing means anymore. Its so freeing. Thank you for all your videos, they really inspire me to live the life i want and not to be so hard on myself. Sorry, english is not my mother tongue, but I hope you understand my words.
Death is inevitable. You can't change this. Death smiles at us all. All you can do is smile back ;-) Just live a good life, full of joy and spirit! And also consider the possibility that your soul will continue on, even when your body is no more.
This video just change the way of my life today! Life is short so let’s enjoy it while we can 🙏🏽
I don't know why, but this helped me. Dont get me wrong, the fear and anxiety is still there and it's the middle if the night, but knowing... I'm not alone made things a little bit better, if not just a lil'. I'm gonna try to sleep now, thanks everyone.
This question of yours is natural and innate. All humans ask why we were created. Where will we go after death? This great universe has a Creator. I advise you to read the Holy Qur’an because it will introduce you to things you need. You will not lose anything. If you want the answer, you will know. I am here to worship allah and obey Him until we enter Paradise. There is no god but Allah
Sitting in the graveyard for the beginning scene, that's some real commitment right there
I think it's a really cool shot
I am a 13 year old, I am so depressed that I am gonna die one day and whats the point of life like getting a job, studying, bodybuilding, making a partner. Literally why to all this hardwork if we gonna die one day. I am like crying so hard though im just 13 i feel like all around me is artificial like no one is real. Life is feeling like a stimulation for me PLEASE SOMEBODY GET ME OUTTA THIS 😭
You are miraculously in the most perfect spot.
Exploring this question of your own death adds juice to the game of life.
It would just be so boring if the same music played forever right?...
it's the same case with our lives.
If you love to explore more just as a fun hobby, I would recommend:- Alan Watts, jiddu krishnamurti.
Have a great time. And always welcome your insights- they are your greatest gifts and experiences
i think the BIGGEST thing is your mindset. You can look at everything negatively, and feel worthless, or you can look at it positively, and strive. you may be asking, how? well, like he said the question people ask is “what is the point, when we’re all going to die anyway”. the question should instead, be, “make our life worth remembering, BECAUSE we’re going to die” use the fact you know you’ll die one day to your advantage. You can know that you don’t need to worry about being embarrassed about something, or anxious about something, becuase it won’t matter anyway. we only get one life. we can live it miserably thinking about the end, or we can see the world through the eyes we were intended to see. look at the sky, the birds, the grass, it all has meaning. if we spend our whole life thinking about the end, we will ruin the during. look at everything like it’s magical, like it is the best thing you’ve ever seen, then it will become reality. don’t look at things like a burden, like it’s wrong. be happy you can feel, you can see, you can touch, you can exist.
U got the whole world in your hands at your age with this realisation. Just live do what the fuck you want 😂
This dude just stopped my anxiety through perfectionism in life and work in just these 5 minutes. 🔥🔥💎
The fact that I know I'm going to die is the only thing that gets me out of bed everyday. Life is so intensely, incredibly horrible. Just knowing I will escape it someday, keeps me going from day to miserable day.
Same.
Exactly. It's the only liberating thought ever.
i don’t think you should look at life like it’s something to escape. we all go through hard times, we all get to a point in life where we stare blankly in front of us and ask “why? what’s the reason, what’s the point?” the truth is, that can be answered in many ways. an answer can be, nothing. an answer can be, everything. if we’re all going to die one day, why spend a day worrying, why look at life like it’s a bad thing, why not spend the days we have being happy, because it doesn’t matter what happens. there are so many people who take life for granted. there are people who are worried about failing their drivers test, and there are other people wishing they could see, so they could drive. we all have our own battles, we all have our own life, the question is, how are we going to live it. if no one else is going to remember your life, that’s fine. but what about YOU remembering your life. if you died tomorrow, would you look back at your life and be happy? live your life like when it’s over, you can show off the best way you lived. look at everything things it’s amazing. the ducks, the floor, the communication, the smiles. look at life like a gift, not a burden. everything around you is special, and only you can see it.
I had written this a while ago:
Wake up, eat, laugh, cry, smile, frown, pleasure, all for what? A life to live in the moment? To "live life to the fullest"? But why? Why do all that if you are just going to die someday? We make stupid jokes just for the thrill, to make fun of others for our own satisfaction. It's all temporary so why even deal with it in the first place? To have an impact on others so they can feel feelings of hope and peace? But there's something stopping me and I don't know why. I've built a mask of myself to others in school and out. I'm perceived as the smart one, who cares for no one. I'm seen as the one with friends even though they are absent. Im perceived to others as obedient, and to some stubborn. But that brings me back to what I was saying earlier about the why factor in life. Why paint this mask of myself to others in hope of something even I cannot explain. Why love something that is only temporary. Why even live to see life play out when it will end? Why haven't I already brought mine to an end? Why can't I speak these words to someone directly? Does it even matter? Why am I writing about this? I've wondered why people do the things they do. I've been confused by it for the longest time. Why the drama with someone that won't see the end of you or you to them? People do all these things for a reason I cannot explain. It hasn't been apparent to me yet. If our souls live forever, then why even bother with this eternally small portion of our eternal life? It makes everything we do insignificant but we do them anyways. I've gotten so good at masking myself from others that I've convinced myself who I am. But then who am I? And why am I here? So many questions fill my mind everytime I'm alone in my room. I just want to know why I haven't ended this pointless life already and what's holding me back. It feels like this will never be answered
I resonated with what you said so deeply. Every single word. I felt it in my soul - I feel the same way! Existence is so strange. But knowing that nothing matters gets me out of bed every morning.

Positive Nihilsm is actually good. It gives you a sense of confidence to do certain things because you know in the end that it won't matter.
No
@@alexeirl1 No?? It does.
Short, snappy, to the point. Beautiful message 🙌
Thank you!
I have this mindset sometimes. That mindset switch at the end is gold. Going to use that more often, great video!
Thank you for making a video about deep issues. We need introspection more than ever.
You know, there are people who will say, “you matter, things you do will matter” when in reality nothing matters. Think of it like this, we work, jobs are man-made, we make money, which is also man-made. If jobs and money are both man-made, why does it matter if us humans created it if we all just die in the end? I try my hardest everyday to make a good living and having a decent job and have things of my own, but the thought of nothing matters ALWAYS crosses my mind. Every being to exist is going to die, when you die, you don’t remember anything, you aren’t here to do things you love and make money. The thought of nothing matters will NEVER leave the back of my brain. Who even knows what’s the true reason to live and the actual point of life. We don’t and we never will, so we just have to make a point and make things matter in some kind of way. I also want to add, I am not really sad anymore when people pass away. No I am not heartless, and I do care about people, just the thought of said person that passed away, they no longer have to worry, stress, make ends meet, work, make money, pay bills. All of that is gone. I graduated high school last year and have been having strong feelings of nothing matters more frequently now. All I have done is work and go to college, work and go to college. I truly don’t know how to feel about life.
If humans were to go extinct today, jobs, bills, money, politics, etc… would no longer exist. Bc it is man-made. No being of any other species will be paying bills and working a job.
I literally revised my 'final will and testament' five days ago. I needed this video.
I keep trying because I think there's more to life than hiding in my room all day. I'm a little sad and numb and lazy, but I've got to try right, so that I might earn a living and get out there, do anything, get scared and fall down, stand back up, meet someone. I should remind myself daily that we're all going to be gone sooner or later, so that I'll have the courage do what matters,. It might be really scary and painful, but perhaps that's the price of living a life with meaning. After all, if I really did nothing and just hid in my room, that would be incredibly sad, and not worthwhile. I think I kind of suck at life, but you'd better believe that I'll keep scrambling toward something brighter and more beautiful, even if it comes with pain. That's what I'm aiming for. Can any fellow humans relate? Thanks for this video, and for reading my rant.
Damn relatable , enjoyed reading this how are you doing 3 years later anything brighter out there you’ve found?
33 here and I've been asking myself this since I was a young teenager. From one Cole to another, thank you for this video.
You motivated me to start new things and even start a CZcams channel 🙌🏻
Thanks Ethan!
These questions especially hit me after my boyfriend broke up with me. I think I had lost all sense of my individual self and with him suddenly gone, I felt like nothing mattered anymore, nothing brought me joy.
Your boyfriend most likely broke up with you for good reason, you're probably a f****** b****
People come and go, I believe life is beautiful and I hope you do get to find someone worth your love and time

@@theirishpotato6588 Oh guys if you only knew all the memories i had these beautiful pictures in my Head .... back in the old days 2008 - 2013 that was the time i had the most beautiful life with 2 sisters 1 brother and 2 loving parents we still live together but we all grew so much as Kids weve had so much fun especially me in school :(!
Oh god give me that time back im crying pls
The beyblade times
The cod 2 times
The life of my childhood and my old friends pls god😭😭😭 just want to be a small kid without any problems whos just having fun time passes so quickly feels like yesterday when i was throwing fireworks with my cousin and my brother at 2008 -9 - 10 so on.
Beautiful Advice on Life. I've learned a lot. 👍 Please do more of these.
I dont wanna create a history, i dont wanna have a spouse kids, nor a career, all i still like to do is sleep and eat, idgaf about other things.
If God doesn’t exist, then, yes, everything is meaningless. We are going to die. Our sun is going to die earth’s gonna die. The universe is going to be empty of energy spread apart with every atom in the universe is stretched light years away from each other, but if God exist, and we have to answer to him and we live forever than life has meaning we live to serve God and enjoy him forever
So God is just a coping mechanism
@@alistairgeorge5082 I know all the evidence for God the universe coming from nothing to fight to universe how did life start? The brain cannot produce consciousness Bible predictions that came true the resurrection of Jesus Christ 30 millionaire death. The rare earth hypothesis evolution is mathematically impossible. But I don’t even need any of these arguments. I seen Christ with my own eyes so I’m one of the few people who know God exist not have faith he does
What if god doesn’t exist but there is still a meaning to life. Or what if there is no meaning and god does exist
@@dotinglydreaming5486 If God exist life having no meaning Is a contradiction like a married bachelor
SINGLENESS is the passport to living this life.. Without having others decide what and not to do..
We are all just dust in the wind.⚰️
This video is great and thank for for all your efforts put in Sir. ✌️
You think so? For me, the reason life feels meaningless is still not having found that special someone to spend it with. Idk, I don't even care for friends, and sometimes even family can feel like strangers. I just want to be with my partner in crime because I know traveling the world or doing whatever together would be way more fun.
I've been struggling with this question for the past few days and this video helped me a lot. Thanks
i love my life now that you've made this video
Again yet another relatable thought from the other side of the world❤️..most wholesome video yet cole😁💕
Thank you brother
it's about the effect that's palpable when we die on this world. brilliant scuentists and writers have also died like Einstein and Shakespeare but it's there effect that lingers whenever we open our textbooks.
And here, we are living a life and working hard because our parents and family want this from us....😢
My parents wanted this from me. As far as I was concerned they could get stuffed because I decided to take time to smell the flowers rather than wear myself out working for a pittance.
I think of it this way. Sure, you only live once... but so does everyone else. _Everyone_ only lives once. So once someone dies, the opportunity to make their life better has passed. That goes for your coworker, employer, partner, grandma, or anyone who's life you have the ability to influence. It doesn't matter that we all die. What matters is how we treated each other while we're all alive _together._ That is what we can control.
Also the quote from Doc Brown in Back To The Future III at the end, _"...your future hasn't been written yet. No one's has. Your future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one."_
You r right,This is exactly my thought...I used to take so much stress about having reputative job and having good image infront of society..but this thought that nothing actually matters ,taking this thought in positive way..I feel so relieve..what people think of u doesn't matter cos everything is gonna end..so even if you are not ambitious, doesn't have big house and bank balance or don't have big dreams,...there's nothing to feel guilty or depressed about..just relax and enjoy life..cos nothing matters at the end🌺..
🙏

I just can't wait to die so i can finally be at peace, i struggle everyday for some reason with anxiety even doing the basic things like getting haircut or going to the gas station my heart starts beating fast then my face gets really hot and sweaty it's just something that always happens whenever i know i have to go somewhere where i know there's going to be peope about, it sucks because i have no control over this and it's just making my life too exhausting for me

Same im 16 too and i cant accept all this and its really deep
@@tojo8033 im only 11 year old and im gping through this
Hey, I know exactly how you feel. I get episodes of extreme death anxiety, although they have lessened over time. I've gone through the gambit on theories of existence, but the singularly most comforting thing that I have ever seen was only just a few days ago. Check out the video "Richard Hammond explains what he experienced during his coma" by Whats Next. It's probably the greatest 4 minutes I have ever spent.
We are all in this together my friend ❤️
You're gonna be alright kid look how long it took you to get to 16. And majority of those years you were a child. Life lasts a long time. Death is not the end, just phase 2.
I’m sick of living the same day everyday alone..I feel like the fucks the point if we all gonna die soon…
Life is nothing but pain and suffering. When does the good part of life come?
@@Retss So never
When you die
Exactly...All the experience I had in my adult life is pain and suffering. Despite trying to do the needful and rightful things always.
the good part has always been now. you just have ignored it. the “pain and suffering” is certain things that happened in your life “the good” has always been there, you have just been too focused on the bad. look at the good things, look for the happy things. when you start paying attention to the good things, the bad things don’t seem as bad. whatever things you are focused gets increased 10x. if you look at the bad things, it will seem much worse, because it will seem like it’s all there is, but if you look at the good things, it will seem like it all that matters.
22 years of life struggling with my existence on this planetary dimension
Im here because I just turned 31 and have many friends who are all 21-26. I dont look older and my personality convinces people Im much younger than I am. But this morning really hit me that all this fun Im having wont be around forever, and Im missing going out because I just want to be home. How can I live everyday and FEEL humbled? Instead of taking it for granted and thinking todays just another monday? We only have average 75 seasons in our lives, and Im damn near halfway there. I never feel like doing things but then regret not doing them once it's passed and want to learn how to WANT to go out and live!
75 seasons made me more depressed 😶
