It's because they're depressing. They light the harsh candle of reality, illuminating all of our faults and similarities, crushing some of that feeling of uniqueness.These videos change our perspective of life from a window to a mirror, forcing us to look at ourselves and listen to the messages they present.

@egolden life's full of "depressing" and "positive" perspectives. Some people can't cope or prefer not to deal with the discomfort that comes with living. It's not always cause they're in some privileged bubble or been sheltered, but just that it overwhelms them. Best to just accept this and try to discuss it with willing people who are able and comfortable in doing so (comfortable with being uncomfortable).

TRANSCRIPT Of all the different ways we reassure ourselves, the least comforting is this: "it's already too late." Alazia. When you were born, you could have been anybody. So quick and malleable, your parents could look at your face and see a future president. They tried to mold you as you grew, but they could only work with what they had. And when their tools stopped working, they slowly handed off to you, asking, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" There's a certain art to becoming who you are. A teenage personality is a delicate medium, its emotions are almost too heavy to handle. You have to keep yourself together, and tease out the good parts without stretching yourself too thin. You can never stop moving for too long, or focus on just one side of your personality, or you'll fall out of balance, and never stand on your own two feet. You can't ignore your flaws-you see them so clearly-but you can't just fix them either, and force yourself to change. And you need to make it look effortless, even if you keep getting burned. But the toughest thing to master is the sense that your personality is hardening over time. That the fire that kept you flexible all these years is dimming, and you're becoming set in your ways. You can still recall the heat of youth, that once kept you warm on a dingy couch, or a night in the wilderness, or a wandering summer. At any given time you remained untouchable, because you were 'not yourself today.' You knew that you weren't just you, you were also the person you will one day become, finding comfort in the lines, "I am not I. I am the one walking beside me...who stays calm and silent while I talk, and forgives, gently, when I hate, who walks where I am not, who will remain standing when I die." [Juan Ramon Jimenez] But now it's hard to deny that you are anyone but yourself; you are who you are, for better or for worse. For all your wondering what kind of person you were going to become, somewhere you forgot that that question actually has an answer, and that 'one day' will soon arrive, if it hasn't already. Now you wonder if you can change, even if you wanted to. If you have enough fire in the belly to surprise yourself. Or if you're too tough and cynical to stretch without shattering. Of course, maybe who you are is just fine, and dreaming of being someone else would only keep you from being your best self. Or maybe that doesn't really matter. Maybe it's already too late.

AstridWeien I'm in a similar boat. Not knowing what I want for myself. Try new things constantly. Learn about anything and everything that interests you, just take the dives, throw the darts etc. Something is bound to stand out to you and stick. Whatever that is, run with it. Although our lives and tastes are bound to change many times over, we have to be our own catalysts for change. In this moment, make a choice to do something new. Paint a picture, write a poem or song, study rotary engines, whatever entices you. Each decision will open doorways for you within yourself and with the world and people around you. Plant as many seeds as you can :D

LISTENING TO SHAHRAM NAZERI by Robert Bly I know the horses keep galloping for miles. I know the ants keep lifting their feelers to heaven And planning new triumphs, but it's already too late. When Nazeri sings, I don't care if the Second Adam comes down or not; I don't care if my words Get you to cry or not--it's already too late. The smell of coffee spreads out from the fire. The wild-haired old women sing over the coffin. Go on complaining and praying. It's already too late. I know sweet vowels and inescapable rhythms. I know how sweet it is when a young woman is here And the old men think of God; but it's already too late. My tongue never becomes bitter because my mouth Keeps holding the grief pipe between my teeth. Go on and conquer bitterness; it's already too late. Here I am; I am all alone. It's early morning. I am so happy. How can so much grandeur Live beneath my skin? Go on asking; It's already too late!

I'm still in that phase.. The "changeable" phase. The best thing about it is that every door is open, you can still mold and shape yourself. The worst part about it, well, you feel lost, you don't know what to become or what to choose, there are too many choices you feel lost. In a way, I really want it to be "too late" for me to change, but I'm also frightened of it. I always feel like a "work under construction" and to come to a point where it's over and done is scary because that means there's no more room for change or bettering oneself. And I don't know what's worse (or better!) having all the doors open, or having them all shut?

1xXxIceGirlxXx1 The doors are always there. It's about compromise. You open one, another closes. You can keep a few open and frequent them as you please whilst never setting foot in the others. Although, the more doors you use, the more chaotic the hallway grows and the less 'complete' the rooms become - you over-stretch and burn out. So, sometimes it's best to just peek in a few and see what's inside, maybe walk around in others and size them up, perhaps a room looks good enough to set up a bed for you to stay a while - it becomes your room. Some of us may prefer to just frequent the hallways and never choose a door, afraid of committing to just one. But people change and doors can always be pryed open and other closed. Moving from a lived-in room can be challenging as we become used to the corners and textures and all the familiar details of a specific room, but people change and sometimes a new room is just what we need. The attitude and focus towards change ends only when we give it up.

Robert Baker your words brought peace to me, as well as distress. It shows how nothing is certain, you can never be sure of what's coming, and you certainly can not see into the future. But you know what? if it was any other way, it would be... horrible. What would happen in a world where everything is known and all is seen? what would be the point in living in a place where you don't even have the chance to discuss a thought, because what's the point? everything is done, all is perfect, all is too late. I believe that, although at times it is melancholic and at others joyful, the universe couldn't be built in any better way; it depends on us, on our perception to view it as melancholic or joyful, it all comes down to us to build what we want, do we want to build a happy or a sad life? do we want to love and bring each other up or do we want to bring down everything in our way? That's the beauty of life, you can never expect anything, because it is you who will decide what to do with it, and that's what brought peace to me.

Carl Johnson wow it’s been 5 years already! I guess what I realized during this time is that one doesn’t really have all that much choice.. i mean one isn’t a “clean slate” and we don’t get to choose whatever we want to become. There are limitations and that’s not bad, imaging going into an ice-cream shop and there lays 50 flavors of ice-cream, you’d spend so much time stressing over what flavor to pick. Whereas if you go to a shop that serves 3 choices of ice cream it’d be much easier to pick what you want. I see it this way too with the choices available in life. Now of course we still have to choose from the choices available to us, and i still didn’t get to a point where i feel like I’m done or “i got there”.. I’m 24 years old after all and hopefully i still have a lot to learn and “be”. But i feel like no matter what, I’ll always be “work under construction” :) P.S thank you for commenting and asking about me! It’s heartwarming ❤️ and it made me reflect a little :)

I fear that I can not change how I am and how I naturally portray myself to others. I don't know how to describe it well, but I want to be someone patient and humble, and I find myself being someone who overtalks people and talks about themselves too much. And I'll catch myself and feel embarrassed about a conversation I just had with someone, thinking about how I need to be different and better, but how hard it is to naturally remind myself to do so. I don't know if that relates to this video and Alazia, but that's the best I can describe it.

I'd love if you, John, can do this word. In his book Mastery, Robert Greene talks about the incapacity to see beyong feelings or situations or to create new things that do not already have a word in existance. So it would be amazing to see a word describing the sad limiting tendency to only see the things that already have been created and not see the infinitum of the universe and the possibility of everything that can be done. Just thinking about it, 50 years ago, a lot of things didn't had explainations or words to describe it and that's the reason that so few people actually approached creatively improving on those subjects. Love your stuff John :) Your creativity and emotion makes me better in every way. Thank you.

We don't have as many opportunities as we did when we were younger, and some things we want to do just aren't possible anymore.

I believe that change is never truly impossible, and thus do not fear it. One thing I fear most in life is that, one day, I might no longer be willing to change. I fear that my determination to do the right thing might some day consume my determination to understand what the right thing even is, or why it is. My sorrow lies in my awareness of my ever-fallible morality and cognitive reasoning, but my greater fear lies in the loss of that very awareness. I am uncertain whether or not my fear really is the same as 'Alazia', a vague extension/deviation of it or truly a fear of it's own, but I am certain that some others might feel something similar. The fear to lose yourself in yourself - as I have come to call it, if that makes sense. I'd be glad to hear what you (anyone) thinks of this. Maybe we can enlighten each other?

Hi John, here's the subtitle in portuguese: 1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,073 De todas as formas que nós nos tranquilizamos, 2 00:00:03,264 --> 00:00:04,999 a menos confortante é esta: 3 00:00:06,069 --> 00:00:07,385 “É tarde demais.” 4 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,000 Alazia: O Medo Que Você Não Seja Mais Capaz de Mudar 5 00:00:13,001 --> 00:00:15,974 Quando você nasceu você poderia ter sido qualquer um. 6 00:00:16,063 --> 00:00:19,241 Tão rápido e maleável, seus pais poderiam ter olhado em seu rosto 7 00:00:19,349 --> 00:00:20,897 e visto um futuro presidente. 8 00:00:20,965 --> 00:00:23,169 Eles tentaram lhe moldar enquanto você crescia, 9 00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:24,992 mas eles só podiam trabalhar com o que tinham. 10 00:00:25,056 --> 00:00:27,032 E quando as ferramentas deles pararam de funcionar, 11 00:00:27,082 --> 00:00:28,647 eles lentamente passaram a decisão para você, 12 00:00:28,714 --> 00:00:29,900 perguntando: 13 00:00:29,901 --> 00:00:31,408 “Então, o que você quer ser quando crescer?” 14 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,559 Há uma certa arte em se tornar quem você é. 15 00:00:35,647 --> 00:00:38,017 A personalidade de um adolescente é uma delicada forma, 16 00:00:38,094 --> 00:00:40,440 suas emoções são, na maioria das vezes, pesadas demais para lidar. 17 00:00:41,568 --> 00:00:46,040 Você tem que se manter equilibrado e extrair as boas partes sem se esticar demais. 18 00:00:47,399 --> 00:00:48,968 Você nunca pode parar de se mover por muito tempo, 19 00:00:49,031 --> 00:00:52,500 ou focar em apenas um lado, se não você irá se desequilibrar 20 00:00:52,501 --> 00:00:54,135 e nunca se reerguerá por si só com seus dois pés. 21 00:00:54,990 --> 00:00:56,939 Você não pode ignorar suas falhas, 22 00:00:56,939 --> 00:00:58,923 mas você também não pode consertá-las 23 00:00:58,949 --> 00:01:00,647 e se forçar a mudar, 24 00:01:00,710 --> 00:01:02,816 mesmo quando você continua se queimando. 25 00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:06,986 Mas a arte mais de difícil de dominar é o perceber que sua personalidade 26 00:01:07,026 --> 00:01:08,530 está endurecendo com o passar do tempo. 27 00:01:08,586 --> 00:01:12,098 Que o fogo que lhe mantinha flexível todos estes anos está se apagando, 28 00:01:12,154 --> 00:01:13,940 e você está tomando uma forma definitiva. 29 00:01:14,700 --> 00:01:17,087 Você ainda pode se lembrar do calor juventude 30 00:01:17,287 --> 00:01:19,055 que uma vez lhe manteve aquecido no calor de um sombrio sofá, 31 00:01:19,144 --> 00:01:20,448 ou numa noite selvagem. 32 00:01:21,039 --> 00:01:23,876 Em qualquer tempo você se mantinha intocável, 33 00:01:23,955 --> 00:01:26,160 você sabia que você não era apenas você, 34 00:01:26,284 --> 00:01:28,623 você também era a pessoa que um dia iria se tornar, 35 00:01:28,707 --> 00:01:30,867 achando conforto em alianças. 36 00:01:31,301 --> 00:01:32,356 “Eu não sou eu", 37 00:01:32,405 --> 00:01:34,507 eu sou aquele que caminha a meu lado... 38 00:01:34,562 --> 00:01:37,428 que se mantem em silêncio e calmo enquanto eu falo, 39 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,396 e perdoa gentilmente quando eu odeio, 40 00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:42,668 que caminha onde não eu estou, 41 00:01:42,740 --> 00:01:45,460 que se mantem de pé quando eu morro. [Jiménez] 42 00:01:46,288 --> 00:01:49,884 Mas agora é difícil negar que você é qualquer outra pessoa além de si mesmo. 43 00:01:50,009 --> 00:01:52,817 Você é quem você é você é, para o bem ou para o mal. 44 00:01:53,017 --> 00:01:56,121 E ao longo de todos os seus questionamentos sobre o tipo de pessoa que você iria se tornar, 45 00:01:56,189 --> 00:01:59,039 em algum lugar você esqueceu que tal pergunta tem uma resposta, 46 00:01:59,108 --> 00:02:03,401 e que "aquele dia" iria chegar em breve, se ainda não chegou. 47 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,073 E agora você imagina se você pode mudar, mesmo você se quisesse. 48 00:02:07,153 --> 00:02:10,489 Se ainda há fogo o suficiente dentro de seu ventre para se surpreender. 49 00:02:10,569 --> 00:02:13,200 Ou se você agora está muito endurecido e sínico 50 00:02:13,201 --> 00:02:15,659 para se moldar sem se quebrar completamente totalmente. 51 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,100 É claro, que talvez quem você é esteja simplesmente ok, 52 00:02:19,158 --> 00:02:23,108 e sonhar em ser outra pessoa iria apenas lhe impedir ser o seu melhor "eu". 53 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,558 Ou talvez isto não importe, 54 00:02:27,148 --> 00:02:28,636 talvez seja tarde demais.

So earlier today, I was tripping balls and stumbled upon your channel and now this is my favourite KZbin channel (trust me I sobered up lol)! I've felt or thought about a few of the things that you talked about, but Zenosyne, Astrophe, Sonder, and Onism (Dang! I didn't even know these terms existed except Sonder), these are the things my mind pondered on many a night. Luckily for me, I've got a few good mates with whom I can share and discuss my thoughts with and get good thoughtful responses but most people just think these topics are way too serious and depressing. Each to their own though! Keep on making videos like these man, I'll always be your subscriber :D

Can you make a video about the feeling or the fear of not being the best you and not knowing if you're giving all of yourself into something? That your effort into the things isn't good enough. It's like wanting to reach excelence but at the same time you know that you'll never get there, then becoming frustrated about it.

The thought that its already too late is an interesting paradox for me as I don't feel like it ever wasn't... death in my family that's almost been metronomic makes the me that I am dawn the shroud of being the only one I've ever been. I remember vividly all of those pasts but the perspective is almost always from that of a story I read or watched along the way. For three years I've been committed to pursuing classical music as a trombonist but before that I was to be an engineer. I remember my grandparents and my Dad but not their voices, instead my mind just skips over the notion that they ever had them, and if ever forced to try and recall, it does nothing more than pair an appropriate guess to each of their dialogues. As for the people who's presence was exhausted by the time the next tragedy arrived, they act as a medium in some way, instead making my current life feel like the story for the precious moments I can return to those memories as that person. I am unable to remember my life as one happening for one person and can only hope to retain who I currently am for as long as I can. When people ask what I see myself doing in ten years I merely brush it off because chances are I won't exist ten years from now. Is there a word for the compartmentalization of pasts?
