Life is NOT a Journey - Alan Watts

Alan Wilson Watts (6 January 1915 - 16 November 1973) was a British philosopher, writer, and speaker, best known as an interpreter and populariser of Eastern philosophy for a Western audience. His philosophies seem to transcend ego, politics and limitations. His monologues have a powerful way of connecting distant abstract ideas with the present moment and his words have a unique way of putting life into perspective. Life is a gift.

Isn’t the whole idea of the premise ‘life is a journey’ that it is the journey that matters, NOT the destination? The journey being the experience of being alive, failing, learning new things, evolving of relationships and enjoying the world around you. If anything, this whole speech actually reinforces the idea of life as a journey. Kind of misleading title, I don’t think it matches the points that are made in this speech at all.

[@awonderfulfeeling8588]

Yeah, this whole video is basically just an opinion from one famous person. Life is so complex that it fools us into thinking that it's simple. But it's not, certainly not simple enough to sum up into a speech that's less than 5 minutes long. We all have our own opinions and our own outlooks on life and this certainly does not support mine in the slightest. Like I said, life is not simple enough for someone to just sum it up in the matter or less than 5 minutes. Even if the speech is filled with pretty drawings and an end quote anyone who busts their ass in the real world to make a living would love to hear. The reality is, if you don't make money, you're not gonna survive long enough to see the pretty sunset at the end of the video. Cash is king and this video is more of an escape from reality than anything else. Of course work is boring to literally everyone on the planet, but what happens to your quality of life when you're living under a bridge begging for money because you just wanted to do literally NOTHING ELSE but enjoy yourself and watch the sunset. That's reality. We all want sunshine and roses but the real sunshine and roses are the positivity and kindness you carry with you everywhere you go and whatever you do. Life doesn't start when you quit your job and stop climbing the corporate ladder, life starts when you realize how good you have it because you're not living under a bridge and you have a beautiful home with a beautiful wife and beautiful children that you can afford to raise with the money you work hard to earn because you don't get paid to just sit on your ass. Well I guess in 2020 that's a different story...

[@sibusisoboemah]

True

[@ab3240]

I think what you're thinking of is what people mean when they say "life is a journey." Life shares many similarities with journey, but the philosopher's whole point was that an analogy to music provides us with a better understanding. The analogy between life and music is far more exact than the analogy between life and journey. And by being an inexact analogy to life one can very easily argue life is not a journey. But that doesn't make it wrong to say life is like a journey. It's a bit semantic, but hopefully that makes sense.

[@Damogen]

@@awonderfulfeeling8588 He is not saying you should only live in the moment, he is saying you should remember what is actually important to you. Here is a different take on the same thought that might work better for you: life is like a Ressource management game, where you try to convert time into happiness as efficiently as possible. For most people a big part of that is having a job to get money, just make sure you don't loose sight of the real goal, so you end up optimizing the amount of money instead of happiness. BTW, It is not a given that everyone find their job boring, here in Denmark we are reasonably good at focusing on what kids would like to work with when helping them pick an education/career and about 80% say they would keep their job even if they won a huge lottery and had no financial need to work.

Its not the destination or the end it is the journey that counts. The journey is hard or easy depending on what you choose. If you choose the easy path you will never grow but you will be happy. If you want to grow to archive things you have not known (mainly to know thy self) then be ready for a hard journey because you will need to do things that you are uncomfortable with like having and raising a family and working with society to make it better. By doing these things you grow and learn. Or, you can just float through life never putting down roots with any thing, any one or any place and have fun but achieve nothing. Play at life or work life. The red pill or the blue pill it is your choice.

Good point, but that song is called "I'm Only Sleeping". An even more cosmic Beatle song can be found on the same album (Revolver) -- it's called "Tomorrow Never Knows": Turn off your mind, relax, and float down stream It is not dying, it is not dying Lay down all Thought, surrender to the Void It is shining, it is shining If you may see the meaning of within It is Being, it is Being That ignorance and hate they mourn the dead It is Believing, it is Believing That Love is all that Love is everyone This is knowing, this is knowing All plays the Game: "Existence" to the end Of the beginning, of the beginning, of the beginning... Or even "I Am The Walrus": I am He as you are He and you are me and we are all together. Even John Lennon backed off writing: I am Him as you are Him, and you are me...etc. I think "Elohim" originally meant "our Higher Selves"

the thing is, for me, living alone or maybe with some pets, and good headphones, and just a small, comfortable house near a lot of grass and trees, just a lot of nature, would be the peak of my life, people take it the wrong way when someone says live how you want, they usually go for your approach, travelling a lot and doing stuff like sky diving, thinking it's the only way to live, of course, you're probably very happy with what you did, it most likely was exactly what you wanted , and from your words it seems like so, but people think doing stuff like that will make them happy when in reality they can't even appreciate their hometown, so they go to places like japan, they look at a building and some peach blossoms and they think they saw everything there is to see when in reality they barely looked at the surface, and their hometown's maple trees would be beautiful to japanese people, what im trying to say in this bible i just realized i typed is, people think doing what you did is perfect for everyone, when in reality, only a couple of people in thousands really truly enjoy it, also, camping seems fun!

His words always bring me such comfort, I’ve always felt like a failure because I haven’t travelled as much as I said I always wanted to because I haven’t had the money and confidence to do so. But now I’m in my 30’s I’ve realised I don’t think I ever really wanted to travel i just said that because that’s what I thought success was. I just enjoy a simple homely life, it’s taken me all these years and videos like this for me to accept myself for exactly who I am and realise it’s okay to live a simple life. If you don’t travel or earn a lot of money like society says you have to now it’s okay, just do what ever you want to do, there is no race or competition. It’s still hard for me to remember this but I’m getting better and accepting myself more everyday ❤

I'm free to explore my passions, though I'm limited by my body in many ways, and I can live my life moment by moment.

@@ancientgear7192 One can still do *some* other work, surely. I imagine it all becomes a matter of meeting such needs as they come. I'm 24, and I've lived a very happy life with not very much money or work experience at all. I've worked a job for maybe about two and a half years out of my life. But I've never mooched off of anyone, never made a disturbance of myself, just sort of 'met the needs as they came'. Odd jobs here and there, and a sense of 'if I don't absolutely need it I won't buy it.' Forsaking a car and even taking the bus for simply walking to where I'm going. More time to think. It's not for everyone. Nor is it commendable or merit-worthy or anything like that. I simply meet these things as they come and don't worry about it in the mean time. As soon as you start overplanning and overbudgeting and falling into the manic race of things, money and its uses can become a terrible cage. I went to university on the government's dime. I'm fifty grand in debt. It doesn't bother me remotely, because somehow, I'm still not starving to death.
