That was a wonderful video, Ms Jeanille! This video perfectly tells Yoshido Kenko's collection of Essays, and how he tends to view & find the lessons in everything around him. Much of this Essay revolves around the concept of Friendship, Relationship, Vices & the Pursuit of finding True Happiness... There are tons of Valuable Lessons we can take away from this video, Each one of us can find a lesson we can relate to, but to me, one quote stood out the most; "Are we to look at cherry blossoms only in full bloom, the moon only when it is cloudless? To long for the moon while looking on the rain, to lower the blinds and be unaware of the passing of the spring - these are even more deeply moving. Branches about to blossom or gardens strewn with flowers are worthier of our admiration." This quote in my Opinion perfectly retells the valuable lesson of how Beauty cannot only be found in Perfection, but also in the Imperfections of Life. It tells us to appreciate every passing phase & moment... To not be myopic & overlook the Beauty hidden in Everything... Just because we cant see it doesnt mean its not there. In the Good & in the Bad, We all have our Moments, we must embrace & find the significance in life's flaws & Imperfections... 🌌✨

Great video Ms. Jeanille.. One valuable lesson from Yoshida Kenko's "Essays in Idleness" is the importance of embracing the impermanence of life and finding contentment in the fleeting moments, as he often reflects on the transitory nature of human existence and the beauty in simplicity.

the line "All men know of death, but they do not expect it all of a sudden". this is especially true as we as human have self awareness, all of us know that we soon will die but once someone dear or close dies, one is struck hard, almost as if he did not expect it, though it is otherwise

[@jeanillecogtas]

True indeed Rhyce. Our knowledge of death is never enough to console our grief.

[@janiellalois]

Thank you for sharing this with us ms Jeanille! Yoshida Kenko’s Essays in Idleness teaches us the importance of reflecting on our own lives, values, and beliefs, leading to personal growth and self-awareness. This inspires us to enjoy the simplicity of life rather than always seeking for more.

[@jeanillecogtas]

Absolutely!!

[@tyronnolasco2591]

I appreciate you sharing this beautiful video, Ms. Jeanille! The important teachings of Yoshida Kenko's "Essays in Idleness" are on accepting life's impermanence, discovering wisdom in simplicity, and appreciating the ephemeral beauty of the present moment. Kenko's essays emphasize the value of a balanced and attentive way of living and inspire reflection, self-awareness, and enjoyment in life's little pleasures.

[@jeanillecogtas]

[@annmria]

The valuable lesson I learned in "Essays in Idleness" is that it imparts timeless wisdom on living a meaningful and contemplative life. Its lessons encourage a thoughtful, mindful, and humble approach to existence, emphasizing the importance of simplicity, nature, and self-awareness. Thank you Ms Jeanille!!

[@jeanillecogtas]

[@aliyahpetaluna3259]

Thank you for another wonderful video, Ms. Jeanille! My favorite line out of all is "The things they were won't to use have no heart, yet remain unchanged throughout the long, long years. A melancholy reflection." Sometimes, the things you see around you can remain the same way as it was before. Though it has been a long time, you are still saddened of the past. Even if everything DID changed, the clear memories are still there to forever remind you of the things that used to be before.

[@jeanillecogtas]

Love that!

[@benjalexieantonio7251]

[@jeanillecogtas]

Wow! I appreciate the time you spent here. God bless you.

[@allykafayelianza4998]

My favorite line is "No to look out on the rain and long for the moon, to draw the blinds and not to be aware of the passing of the spring- these arouse even deeper feelings" because it tells us we won`t appreciate things that lasted in good condition for a long time.

[@jeanillecogtas]

This poem is very amazing, thank you for this Miss Jeanille!!

[@jeanillecogtas]

Thanks for listening

[@lyzelgabaca8704]

Thank you for the wonderful vid Ms Jeanille! There's this one line that always gets me and its the "If he has no fondness for woman, one has a feeling of something lacking." I really liked this line because it's telling us that if someone has no interest or likings with someone, then it's like they are missing out on something wonderful to discover. Like a huge piece that's missing in a puzzle. Love is beautiful for me, and this line makes me feel like I would miss out on something if I never had one.

[@jeanillecogtas]

So true!

[@charabacaltos3985]

Thank you Ms. Jeanille, as I watch your vlog I learned a valuable lesson that life is too short and too precious, then why waste it. we should live life to the fullest. We should socialize more, interact with different people and engage life with positivity.

[@jeanillecogtas]

Glad it was helpful!

[@julianagoyenecheasolis3069]

I chose these " how pure and free the heart of such man " because these made me feel relief and its sounds me that im already free and pure , And feel bless that i already got my freedom . And my life will be free and okay it makes me stastisfied on my own ways , That's how pure and free i am

[@jeanillecogtas]

[@wawayohaha]

As always, you never fail to provide us with great content Ms. Jeanille! The video tells us the collection of Yoshida Kenko's essays and they all had me in deep thought. There are a lot of lessons and interesting parts in his essays though one sentence caught my eye. "In hours of quiet thought one cannot but be overcome by longing for the past." I relate to this sentence very much as I am a person who values memories a lot and this hit right in the spot. Sometimes in our quiet times, we can't help but recall the past and smile or cry at the memory. So I really like that we can relate to his essays and have us reflecting on ourselves.

[@jeanillecogtas]

Thank you for spending time here!

[@navuliacallis1472]

The line I like the most is "The hour of death awaits for no order" because its true, you can't stop death!

[@jeanillecogtas]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@candydelapena5030]

The line that i can really relate is " the hour of death waits no order", this is the reality and we cannot change that.

[@jeanillecogtas]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I'd love to hear from you more often.

[@vilmzinaustria2398]

[@moviemusicspot360]

[@jeanillecogtas]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@mariajan9070]

the line that hits me the most was 'to look out on the rain and long for the moon, to draw the blinds and not to be aware of the passing of the spring arouse even deeper feelings' because sometimes u have to be aware of things that has been happening into our lives, and having a deeper feelings or a very sincere feelings to that one person who really means the to us.. and how they long the moon and how we long that one person who isn't longing for us..

[@jeanillecogtas]

Essay in Idleness" offers valuable insights, such as the importance of enjoying leisure time, the transience of life, the acceptance of impermanence and the significance of finding joy in the present moment. The author emphasizes the necessity of finding fulfillment in the mundane aspects of life, finding pleasure in hobbies, and cultivating peacefulness without worrying about achieving material success. It is essential to appreciate every moment and activity we engage in, even if it appears unremarkable or trivial, and be content with what we have, rather than striving tirelessly after unnecessary goals or desiring more.

[@jeanillecogtas]

The time you spared for me is highly valued. Thank you so much!

[@lukexander4515]

My favorite line personally is "As soon as we hear a person’s name we form in our minds a picture of his appearance; but when we come to see him, he is never the man whose face we had imagined." As we have to be mindful of our expectations and keep it low.

[@jeanillecogtas]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

[@SeanDroll]

[@sheilamaedeguinon2463]

This teaches us important lessons about accepting impermanence and cherishing life's temporary moments. The author encourages us to appreciate the fleeting nature of life and to live in the moment rather than always looking ahead. "Essays in Idleness" is a treasure trove of knowledge that teaches us to recognize the short terms of life, which can result in a more fulfilled and better life.

[@jeanillecogtas]

I am glad to be of help.

[@annepaulinee]

Great video Ms. Jeanille! Most of the lines were very interesting and intriguing, But my favorite line would have to be "What a weakly thing is this heart of ours." It depicts a mentally strong person's inner or emotional feelings, people who are willing to be vulnerable and open, it's very inspiring.✨

Favorite line is" However gifted and accomplished a man young man may be, if he has no fondness for women, one has a feeling of something lacking... However successful you are, without a partner their is always this feeling of something missing. Without a family your life Isn't complete.

[@nothernotmaeyyy]

I chose the line "It is well for a man to be frugal, to obtain from luxury, to possess no treasure nor to covet this world's goods" because I think that even if you have everything in the world you will never be satisfied, and it's also nice to see someone who is contented with what they have.

The essay "idleness by yoshida kenko. imparts a profound lesson about the significance of embracing moments of repose and reflection in our lives and encourages us to find solace in solitude, recognize the fleeting nature of existence, and appreciate the beauty of simplicity.

[@notkray8468]

The line "All men know of death, but they do not expect of it a sudden" strikes me a lot. We, humans, are no immortal creatures, all of us will face the inevitable end, that is death. Our lives are timed with a stopwatch, some start with more time while others, unfortunately, are given less. We should live our lives with no hatred and start our day with a smile and enjoy it to the fullest.
