Thank you for making this video. Absurdism is the most liberating and realistic concept for living the most rich and full life. Before I found Absurdism, I found Nihilism, and I loved it because I felt set free by the concept that life has no purpose. By nature, I’m a very optimistic person, and by nature, Nihilism is negative. So when I found Absurdism saying that life lacks purpose and you should embrace that, I felt like I had discovered the truth. Absurdism basically gives you radical freedom by releasing you from finding purpose in life and it encourages you to live your life to the fullest because it’s the only life we are certain to live. I believe Absurdism can change the world and make it a happy place for the duration of mankind.

[@carahamelie]

One of my favorite videos you have done. Once you come to embrace this idea, it's very freeing and life changing. You were able to put a lot of my thoughts into words. You were spot on with this one. bravo.

[@VishuddhaDas]

+Carah Amelie thank you! 🙏

[@koolkatrj99]

I've came to this conclusion a while back, I'm just glad I'm not the only one that gets it.

[@harryshrubshall01]

Excellent. The mere form of existence is enough. Not purpose but journey is the key. Discovering love and survival and everything in between. Just being alive and staying alive is all there needs to be - in harmony with nature. We are everything and everything exists.

[@GlamourGirls02]

I love you and your way of thinking. I always feel spiritually happy after watching your videos. Thank you! Could you possible do a video on your tattoos? I just love tattoos and find them so interesting! Thank you

[@TREBLEBOOSTER65]

That would be interesting.

[@wstly9897]

This is exactly how i think, i didn't even know there was a word for it.

[@Apriiil]

I've thought this for years, I never knew it had a name.

[@franzbachhuber4656]

Im 17 and im going through the phase of realizing that nothing really matters... it sucks. Hopefully this will get better.

[@atable2505]

This is by far my favorite video you have done, it helped me a lot!

[@misssmary3989]

Just discovered your channel yesterday and this is exactly what I needed to hear today. Thanks.

[@jesusporras3872]

Love your channel man! Your mindset is amazing and it really makes me rethink a lot.

[@dannytamales6863]

I really needed to see this and think about life in this way. Thank you so very much for making this video!

I love that when english people try to speak french, "Albear Camous" :D

[@jasondeckardude6045]

I'm so happy I discovered you. I found your channel during a very rough period in my life and felt hopeless. You got me interested in learning about Buddhism and meditation and much more. I kind of give you credit for pulling me out of depression. I am now a much more positive human being and my perspective on life has changed immensely. Thank you.

[@sofiakarlsson963]

I think this is so hard. I fall into the category that cannot accept it yet and I don't know what to do. When you said that life has no meaning and we need to accept it I literally broke down with an anxiety attack crying feeling like I don't want to exist. It freaks the crap out of me. Could you please do a video on how to escape suicidal thoughts? I try not to have them but I don't know HOW to accept this absurdism. Love u ❤️

[@tomasvampire5186]

Read the Myht of Sisiphus by Albert Camu. It helped me...

[@theramblingreviewer5150]

Naturally_sofia, There is no exact way to get out of suicidal thoughts. Some people spend their entire life with them, but still find enjoyment. Some don't. I would try to find out if you have a predisposition towards suicidal thoughts, perhaps it is genetic. Maybe seeing a therapist would help you. I don't think a book or a ten minute video from Koi will help you. Only a life time of being strong and fighting these feelings will do that. You are strong enough to beat this though, Sofia. I promise you, you are.

[@ramdaschakraborty1610]

See just let the thoughts come Stay aware Let them come ,dont push them away,the more you push them , the more they come.so let them come and you be aware with them. See what happens,hope you are alive to see this 😊

[@akiman712]

Sofia, in the end all of these doctrines are theoretical at best. No one really knows anything beyond that which is apparent. In other words, you only know what your human brain can attain. No one has ever died and come back and explained what comes after or what the meaning of life is. Philosophy is fun, challenging and thought-provoking but it should be approached with a stillness of the mind and not with anxious thoughts or desperation.

[@lorenzoguerrero5170]

I dont know if this is still relevant for you, but if your fighting depressed, bored, apathetic feelings DONT sit at home, thats the worst thing you can do. Take a walk in nature, do exercise that is gruelingly distracting while performing it, or hold onto someone (physically) you know. These things are really calming, and can help move you out of depressive or anxious feelings- and help you better come to terms with these statements.

[@Underlaw41]

Koi's constantly blowing our minds.

[@hironakae]

awesome video! this is one of my favorites!

[@nikkidesai8077]

wow this made my day!! thanks a lot @KoiFresco

[@AshODowd1]

such an interesting video!!! keep up the good work koi

[@alejis1226]

you've introduced me to so many cool concepts! and this was no exception. I can't wait to read up on this :)

[@jgasp1803]

This was so fresh. Your videos are a written manual to many spontaneous short-lived thoughts that go on in my head on a daily basis. Favorite one so far, thankyou for your positivity, means so much at this time

[@donutsrmybbies]

Great video :D love your content

[@MrWilly64]

That was a really nice one pal. Thanks

[@TheSmiIingMan]

Koi!! Awesome video, Camus is actually my favorite author! You keep surprising me

[@jacobhershberger7031]

Amazing content koi!

[@fernandosouza551]

hey what 's up koi! thanks for that great video, I've learned a lot from it

[@fionalillyy]

loving your videos

[@melaniepetrona]

This is soooo interesting. I love your videos and your eyes!

[@drewq7072]

definitely one of my favorite videos from you! I never get tired of listening to you. your mind is so beautiful. I love it and I love you

[@serenaledini6976]

It's the first time I watch a video of yours and believe me, you are amazing! I have spent literally 3 hours searching about Absurdism and I couldn't find a correct, simply explanation.I was understanding a few things about it but not in a full way. Every information that I read and video that watched made everything so damn complicated and as a beginner in the world of absurdism those complicated things didn't help me that much. Lucky for me that I found your channel. Now, I understand everything better. Thanks bro and you've got a thumbs up from me

[@KatyaBella]

I love that you use words like "possibly" and "maybe" because the smartest people always know that we don't really know anything for certain. I also want to say thank you because this honestly helps to settle my crazy little intelligent mind from stressing about the lack of meaning in life. I can now work toward being a 17 year old not going through a mid-life crisis.

[@madelynlathbury4818]

I took a drama class about absurdism a while back and the philosophy hasn't left my mind since. Loved the way you explained it (: great vid!!

[@gabrielaalejandra4489]

I absolutely love how you explain these ideas!. Thank you for making the videos you do and talking about these vital things of life.

[@kylebruwer185]

this is by far my favorite video on KZbin and my favorite KZbin channel. keep up the good work.

[@taylormacdonell9619]

WOAH I LOVE YOUR PASSION IN VIDEOS. such awsome ideas too!!1

[@intentionalinfluence3542]

hey Koi, i really appreciate this video.

[@Offwiththefaries]

I feel like you talk about things that I already think and feel but then you explain it thoroughly and give the definition and I'm just like "Ohhh, so that's what that's about!" 😊

[@Blxckhexrt]

The decision to watch this video gave me such an uplifting new perspective to something that has weighed on my mind and haunted me for as long as I can remember. Thank you, Koi. You do a fantastic job spreading knowledge and enlightening your audience

[@user-gz4zz8qf6r]

yESSSSSSSS THANK YOU KOI!!! I was looking around for the meanings of absurdism bc i heard of it n i was like DAM DATS COOL and then i was looking around and found your video!!!! tahnk you koi, love you!!!! :DD

[@TheSpiritualWitch1111]

You blow my mind💥 I love this💫

[@bellakeery8927]

this is seriously good!

[@saraluna2436]

I came across you channel today, I can't stop watching you videos, I love your content.

[@digitalfroot]

i guess i've been practicing absurdism for a while. i used to always say "humans were made to look for answers. it's the reason we have so many inventions but problems too"

[@MAG1KxMushRoOm]

really good video man ! :)

[@claudiumoroiu2721]

Hello Koi,awesome videos and quality content on every video keep it going have a great day :)

[@yermawpuntsgear2054]

You have no idea how much your videos have changed my way of thought and me as a person...

[@roberta-elisegalvin9424]

This Chanel is like pure medicine. Can't believe I didn't discover it earlier!

[@AngienLynds2010]

this left me feeling beautifully :) ❤ thanks man for putting get another amazing and life changing concept into my mind

[@rosaliebeland6011]

Wow, i really needed to ear at this moment!

[@sarapappalardo336]

Your videos make so much sense. You're such a positive person and you have so much positive energy..

[@luv4lix888]

this video seriously blew my mind away! by far one of my favorites.

[@ninajohnson5981]

Yet again you made a great video which I will be watching again later. You rock man. You calm my nerves with your theories and they seem so logical. Keep them rolling Peace and love to you

[@MariahMonique]

love your channel Koi!

[@MariahMonique]

even though I personally believe that all life has some type of purpose even if it's small (even if you think it's arrogant ), I like how you present the things you talk about.

[@TREBLEBOOSTER65]

I love how positive your comments sections always are.

[@NoRemainingCommercialPotential]

Amazing clear delivery

[@annienoel5571]

I just cannot even put into words how much I love this channel and ESPECIALLY this video❤️I'm just speechless! so many great points. Ive realized lately trying hard to figure out life and the purpose and all the secrets of this world if you will, and your videos are so genius and eye opening I just love it!

[@CrashnFlip23]

Love the way phrased this concept, a bit of other research I did failed to phrase it as positively as you did. It really is a very freeing, hilarious, and humbling concept. Thank you Koi, I will be purchasing your book next chance I have some extra money, I've been following your videos for awhile and you're always so on point and remind me of myself. I'd love to meet someday and chat, you're awesome! Thank you and keep it up!

[@graceb1804]

your channel is mesmerizing

[@haleydimeck432]

Great video!!!

[@MarahLovesMusic]

Dear Koi, I want to thank you for devoting time and effort towards making these videos. I am a 16-year-old girl ( time of existential crisis...) and love listening to what you have to say. You manage to explain and 'materialise' all these abstract concepts and shed a little light on my understanding of everything around me; thanks!

[@nonno318]

This is how i view life, it helps me get through every day, carefree. But I didn't know the theory was called Absurdism. So thank you Koi, it was a relief to learn this, loved it!!

[@mimidigiovanni1990]

Love your videos! You're so smart but explain things simply so anyone can understand xx

[@chrisb938]

It's so great watching your videos koi before I meditate in the evening, your videos make me feel so relaxed.

[@kingdellxValdez]

"The purpose of life is a life with a purpose, so I'd rather die for a cause than live a life that is worthless" -Immortal Technique

[@JoeDirtisawsome]

in the end dying for a cause is still a worthless life. in the end, nothing we do makes a difference, humans dont have an inherent worth. the human race is going to go extinct anyway.

[@User28rt]

Love watching your vids :)

[@TanYikai]

i love to play ur videos while i sleep, makes me think and puts me to sleep

[@Tallstuff24]

I love your videos!

[@arzah4704]

Koi I love your videos and the way you think about these things, I think the same way as you but I can never find the words to explain what I am thinking and when you do videos on this stuff it actually explains what I am thinking. Thank you and keep up the great work! :)

[@drtazzer]

Amazing video dude! I know people always say it but your videos always clear up my thoughts and condense them into something so accessible when before I would struggle to grasp them at all. Peace and love man!

[@camaronious24]

Koi you literally guide my life and questions when I need help. You seriously help me. And thankyou for that 😃

[@MiaowMargot]

Great video! Existence is so fascinating.

[@biopantheist4007]

Thank you sir you're videos are very inspirational.

[@yukikaneda8100]

Wow, great video! It really does change how you view the world!

[@shannonParamore]

this just took a lot of stress and anxiety away from me!! thank you

[@Mindbend88]

Great video my friend, thank you.

[@SamE4]

so perplexing. love it

[@chelby1310]

First vid I’ve watched from you and I subscribed already, this video literally just made me take such a good deep breathe on life. The way you explained it was absolutely so pleasing and inviting, plus you seem like a really cool fella. Never really understood what I was feeling toward religion but also understanding the reality of humans being unable to grasp the idea of a supreme deity or something like that, but yeah, this was just a totally fresh air kind of vid, thank you for this!!!

[@nekobilg]

You put my messy, confusing thoughts to words. Love all your content, thank you!

[@CeliaDubauskas]

This is so interesting because I was thinking the other day that why does our life need to have a purpose like it probably doesn't but why do we give a fuck like we should just live and explore and do as many things as we can and I was gonna make a video about it and then you did haha

[@tobuscusfoop]

It is absurd that we are the only living thing on earth that need a "purpose"

[@richardmorales9378]

just don't let these demonic activities get to you , unaware

[@420crim3]

what i been saying

[@richardmorales9378]

+Cameron Harris you haven't said anything

[@420crim3]

+Richard Morales i mean in life

[@martugharzia]

I love you so much, your videos are full of insights and wisdom, lots of love from argentina!❤️💜🦋

[@Rock1Music2Luva3]

Pls make a video on derealization and how to deal with it

[@lindseylawson5736]

Yes please!

[@Ella-mu4fi]

Yes! :)

[@bighead3258]

please do this

[@hollywhite5758]

i second that

[@kiss4god]

Tamara Williams please!!

[@chynadiamond1971]

Your awesome koi!!!😀😁🚅🏄👑🆒

[@namrotapurakayastha]

loved it.

[@linkamus]

Amazing video.

[@staria4722]

I have been having this strange existential crisis. I would have these little spells where I forget all reality and totally question everything everywhere all at once. I'm still trying to overcome it, it's an empty feeling that I'm not real in a sense that nothing matters and nothing is anything but now I'm understanding that that's the way it's supposed to be, I've been brainwashed into thinking there's always meaning when in reality if the universe hypothetically there isn't.

[@Diplomastronaut]

Absurdism just gives up the fight to finding the meaning. Simply because you embrace absurdity doesnt mean you should give up trying to find the meaning of you should continue existing. Of course we won't understand everything right away, but we do learn more about the universe gradually over time.

[@johannschwarz5070]

This is Amazing!Greetings from Panama!

[@ParkyPark03]

it's seriously refreshing to think that I won't fail some crazy cosmic god's plan thinking this way. thank you for making this video.

[@totojackman498]

Great video

[@lailax7560]

True >> Made me smile ! :D

[@Nikki-bo8to]

i have kind of accepted this a while ago, and i was afraid of it at first but soon came to accept it and i have felt so free since then!

[@crystalalkinberk7253]

aww i am so full of love and happiness now thankyou

[@Davidjones-nv3zn]

brilliant video, when i first came to the realization that existence is absurd, I just wanted answers. Lately i have been able to process this idea more and more, and once you embrace it, it is very liberating! still working on applying it to my life, but i feel far more free now :)

[@handydandy1373]

thank you koi

[@mrandersong1]

I love this guy. Beautiful video on the reality of the human experience.

[@Brueni11]

I think in general, we need to understand that all we'll ever be able to know is that we are born and that, at some point, we die. We just need to make the very best of our life, cause maybe we are here to learn

[@bradenwilson3024]

thanks koi😊

[@boomingbows8560]

Never knew I was an Absurdist. It's crazy how far you can get just by having long honest conversations with yourself, reaching the clarity of chaos.

[@nataliadelacruz8894]

I really liked this video.

[@MaMaRobynBird]

Awesome.
