    Before even watching this video, I knew this feeling. I was traveling in Thailand in 2018 when I came across a group of fellow travelers in the Krabi province. We were from so many different countries, and had so many different backgrounds, and had so many different personalities... We looked different, were of different ages, and had different beliefs. But when we spent a night under the stars, around a fire, laughing with strangers... I looked at them and felt that I was looking at myself. I caught the eye of an older Dutch woman in the circle, and in silence knew that she was thinking the same... I felt connection, love, and understanding. There was no judgement, no shame, and absolutely no trace of animosity. The pinnacle of humanness.
    The craziest part? I was sober!

      Because in reality there is nothing, the truth behind everything is that there is really nothing. Thats why it resonates with you, and the part of talking while walking speaks about life, there is nowhere to go and nothing to do just to experience the experience of life itself. But for some weird reason we humans need a higher purpose for our existance here, meanwhile we just came to be, whatever that "be" could be.

      didnt you hear? there is nobody but you, and why would you want to live a next egg? go back to god, the realm of material things its a trap to keep you trapped here, this place is meant for you to want more and more and more and never accomplish shiet, so you just keep comming back. In the next egg the creator of this place will promise you that you will have everything will have ever wished for, and there you go again falling for the same lie. Go back to the source of everything and enjoy yourself by god's side, the true god thought. As there are many gods that god created, and they create diffenrent universes too, thats why you must go back to the primordial god. Unless you want to expirience suffering forever.

      yeah, basically, god created this whole universe and every single universe and created everything cuz he has been all there is and all there will ever be and is lonely and bored as fuck so "it" creates infinite realities to scape "its" own reality where "it" not only is alone as fuck but doesnt even exist. So basically god is some kind of nothingness that wanted to exist and share its existance with another being. Some dude heard god call itself "i am" a couple thousand years ago, but in reality "it" aint shiet, prolly some weirdo playing "the sims" on his moms basement.

    The fascinating thing is that these beings get their individuality from how their worlds developed, and them having individuality means there is a possibility of arguing for a double egg theory in which once these beings hatch from their egg they create a new egg where the world develops differently so they can understand how exactly the general trend of the world has influenced their personality.
    Alternatively, there is only one being in the universe and any individual is just that same being in different stages of their development since time doesn't appear to be linear for them. The parent that appears in the short is simply a hatched iteration of the individual that will eventually fuse together with the rest, endlessly widening it's perspective.

      I’m sure in the way it’s been done here it can echo with a lot of people around the world. I’m sure even quite a few bad eggs out there will probably have this video flash in their minds before they are about to or after hurting someone. At least, I’d hope so.

    This might be my favorite video from Kurzgesagt. I can't believe it has been 4 years... I will soon go to college, and the first time I saw this video I wasn't even in high school. Time passes by fast, but we all have to do our best in life so we don't regret it. My grandpa told me something before he died, "Live your life to the fullest, take all the opportunities you encounter because you might not see them again. And, most importantly, live a life you'll never forget." This struck me to my core and made me realize life has downs and ups. Stop complaining about your problems, and take action.

    I watched this video more than once. I cried my eyes out this time and now wanted to write this comment. I've also seen in previous comments that this theory has actually brought comfort to many people. When I really thought about this theory, it gave me hope. I'm 22 now and sometimes I can't stand my life and the people around me. I always wonder what I would be like in another life. Wishing that the pain I experienced would disappear in another life. Since my life is not going well, this reflects on the people around me and I can be hurtful even if I don't want to. I mean, are these people to whom I treat cruelly actually me? Wouldn't I be more merciful, both to them and to myself? Oh lord I treat myself so cruelly.
