The most inspiring talk I've watched. Thank you Cory. Love one another and spread it to the ends of the earth.

[@GriffinTwoSix]

Very glad to have watched it all. Thank you for sharing. Every part is full of lessons. All the best!

[@tommyp4728]

appreciation of actually being real. not pretending the extravagant life of traveling the world climbing is perfect

[@dalenewman7829]

I feel you, I was a cop for 19 years and lost many friends and have been in many life or death situations. The rush of the job kept me coming back but also pushed everyone I loved away. Im dealing with the lose of someone I loved very deeply because of the job and also he lose of my job...… the one thing that kept me together through all of this. Hope I can have as many adventures as you have to put my life back together. Love the videos

[@adler923]

The pictures of the sad wife seemed exploitative and manipulative and I didn't know at all why they were included except for ingratiating reasons. But I was impressed by your performance. Thanks for sharing your stories.

[@rarity2006]

Wow I loved this guy before he said what he did. A rare and true gem of a human. Rugged and wise I have a very short hero list it just got a little bigger. I love this guy I'm inspired. I will not forget the final message and the wisdom he imparted to us all.

[@monaliza8559]

To deal more kindly to each other. Thank you Cory for sharing

[@golden1789]

Gifted storytelling both in words and pictures. Thank you

[@gerhardgraf3335]

Honestly, this series of videos is maybe the most precious gem of the - bleep - pit KZbin sometimes is, and the bottom line is as clear as it's true: Be kind to each other! And in a different layer: I'm a photographer myself and I think I have an understanding of what a difficult and sometimes questionable, but at the same time irreplaceably essential art and tool photography is, and why videography never will have the power of speech of a true photograph (even if this was a video I was just looking at).

[@sabinahertzum9728]

Amazing!!! Humbling, truth, beautiful, awe inspiring - words - so many words that i can't grasp at this moment, so many feelings that i can't put words too - amazing - would totally watch this again!!

So good. Thank you.

[@jc32750]

Great talk. Wonderful pictures. Agree, face your demon head on. Keep up the good work. Oh, instead of buying a Prius, buy a Tesla... just saying.

[@thundercatmeg631]

[@tonid6398]

Amen

[@thwitness]

This was an amazing talk!

[@marshajg]

Cory your honesty is admirable. Continue on your journey of self- and other-awareness

[@andres1mike]

the only question i have is, how did you have the strenght to take a picture of your destroyed wife after your brake up???

[@user-xx7pg3vw9k]

Oh that “Blue Dot”...😭

[@jennifersherman8838]

Elephants know love. They know respect. African, Forest, Indian - humans can learn how to better ourselves from any elephant species. And, many other types of animals are also kind, etc.. We are not superior to all other animals and maybe not to any.

[@Tech7WorldK]

great

[@Ashlyn_103]

why is the last comment from 6 days ago... this video's only been up 3 hours

[@PaolaEnergya]

ASH Probably some subscribers were sent a preview via unlisted video

[@JamesMighty]

I believe the date is set when a video is uploaded to youtube. There are many WEIRD things going on all over youtube... You'll be amazed.. from "666" views... to frozen views for days...really strange!

[@user-is6gn2lw5t]

Would have been convincing if he had learned to love his wife. Otherwise self masterbation. Really good story and thoughtful. Thanks for shareing

[@tspantu]
