​@@dasdasdadadadad8915 1. The success of resentment is consistently causing suffering to the subjects of one's resentment till the death of the subjects. You may call someone who successfully takes everything from who he/she hates - but this resentful person also devotes a huge amount of his/her own time and energy to revenge. What a waste! imagining this resentful person's enemies heals themselves after all the dedication he/she put in. What's next? Be more resentful and waste more of one's life on revenge? But the enemies are stronger now because they survived your last attack. 2. Even if we don't argue it from the perspective of revenge, let's say a person lets spite and resentment motivate himself/herself to become more successful than the person s/he resents. Do you think that person being resented would give a sh*t about the resentful person's success? And would the resentful person still keeps the motivation after realizing nobody cares?

*I love my parents now, but I might have been resentful to them if I had never been rebellious* I love this video so much. Thanks for sharing. I agree-- there's no one to blame but yourself. You control your life! Here's my story: I grew up with strict parents. And of course, there's a point in my life where I felt like they were too restrictive about everything. I wasn't really allowed to go out often, invite people over, etc... My parents basically expected me to focus on studies and follow everything that they tell me to do. Otherwise, I would be a bad son and a disrespectful child. During my later high school years, I thought to myself "Enough is enough. If I don't rebel now, then I would waste my teen years being boring as fuck." I would regularly sneak out, try out different shit, and basically do anything that I thought was fun. I didn't think of the consequences because all I had in mind was "fun" I'm currently in my third year of college and I do not regret any of those experiences. I did what I wanted, and I enjoyed. I was free. *Now imagine if I kept listening to my parents and succumbing to that fear...* I would probably hate my parents now for wasting my teenage years. I would probably resent them for keeping me restricted when I could've been having fun. I would probably *blame* them for my lack of fun experiences. Thank god I had the balls to ignore the consequences and rebel. Not only did I have unforgettable experiences, but I actually love my parents now. My key take away is this: It doesn't matter what or who is in your way. If you don't work on what you want to do, then you will end up unhappy, hateful, and resentful. Find ways!

[@heinmolenaar6750]

Hope is his own inferno

[@RedShipsofSpainAgain]

As a self-professed resentful person, this was insightful. I'd like to posit a few counter-arguments however. The conclusion of "keep up hope in the world" sounds optimistic and great. But the harsh reality is that lots of bad things happen to people, despite an abundance of hope. We can use a few examples. Let's say Finn's goal was not to find a woman/partner/love, but rather to buy a house to live in. He's a very nice guy, but he works a minimum wage job, has tens of thousands of student loan debt (that he was tricked into agreeing to when he was barely 17 years old because all his teacher/parents/authority figures told him to), and despite living well below his means, can barely save any money each month because a huge percentage of his earnings go straight to rent. He finds a house he wants to buy and walks into a bank to apply for a mortgage, the typical way most homes are purchased in our modern society. The bank takes a look at this meager savings, his high student loans, and his inability to even afford a down-payment, let alone the monthly mortgage payments. The banks rejects his loan application. Just as he is leaving the bank, he overhears a couple applying for a mortgage for the exact same house that he was just rejected for. The couple is from California, they work in tech, earn well north of six-figures, have zero student loan debt, an outstanding credit score, and their parents set up a trust fund 30 years ago that has grown handsomely over the years. The bank approves the couple's loan application. The couple buys the house using the loan that same day. They have essentially stolen the house right from Finn. Now, Finn obviously feels rejected and resentful, both towards the bank, and towards the California couple, as both have essentially blocked him from his goals. Now Finn can choose to naively have blind hope and naive optimism about "maybe I just haven't met the right house out there. I just have to stay positive." Well fast forward 20 years. Finn is now 50. Despite working hard, Finn never got much a financial edge, and was never able to qualify for a mortgage loan. He allowed his hope in the world to blind him that it was ever possible to afford a house in 2022-2023 when the housing supply was kept artificially low by politicians and home builders colluding together to drive up prices, by the Federal Reserve that has the privilege of setting interest rates and is allowed to legally print/counterfeit more money, by the Californians who had enormous purchasing power in buying a house due to how much their homes "appreciated" in value relative to the other 49 US states, etc. TL, DR: He never was able to achieve his dream of owning a home. What can we conclude from this all-too-common anecdote? Among several conclusions, we can conclude that hope in the world can be a very dangerous thing insofar as it is able to mislead you in your likelihood of getting what you want. For example, in our Capitalist world, if there are 100 people but only 65 houses, then 35 people will be unable to own a house. And the houses will be purchased by the 65 people with the most money. So it is IRRESPONSIBLE for Finn to continue clinging to hope that he will one day achieve his goal given that his earning power is two orders of magnitude lower than other buyers whom he is competing against. No amount of (false) hope in the world will change that Finn simply cannot compete against wealthier competitors. A house seller with 37 offers from different buyers will of course "choose" the highest offer. So Finn's meager offer is laughed at and ignored. The point is: it is dangerous to continue through life clinging to a hope that, in all likelihood, will not happen. A man who is 5'1" can have hope that one day he will play professional basketball in the NBA, but that hope is dangerous since he is extremely likely to be rejected in favor of other candidates who are 7'3". Competition among people in a society for limited resources is what causes this conflict, this being "blocked", and the logical resentment that arises from being blocked. Competition breeds resentment among the people who are left out, as it should. Competition among people for scarce resources is what leads to some people not getting what they want, not achieving their goal, which inevitably leads to resentment. For example, with regards to women, biology has well documented the phenomenon of sexual competition of many males for females, who get to choose which male to mate with. This choosing will inevitably lead to one winner and several losers (rejects). One of Nietzsche's chief complaints about Christianity was how it espoused not desiring things that people actually desired. In this way, it rationalized that remaining in poverty and lying to oneself about not wanting things that they ACTUALLY DID WANT was rebranded and marketed as a value (e.g. "it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter heaven."). Nietzsche argued that this was fundamentally lying to oneself. In the US (and much of the western world today), there is an unspoken social contract: Work hard and you too can achieve your dreams of a family, a house, a good job, etc. This known as "the American Dream". In reality, however, this social contract has been completely fractured in recent years: hard work and focus in no way guarantee that you will achieve your goals of the American Dream. When a society's culture pushes beliefs about the world onto its people, and when the harsh reality of the world directly conflicts with those beliefs that had been indoctrinated into its people, this will inevitably lead to the people feeling that they have been lied to. That their society promised something that it was unable to deliver on. This leads to disappointment and resentment. It is, at its core, a conflict between the promises given by a society which are subsequently broken by the society that leads to this resentment.

[@karimmedlej]

It’s true that you can’t prove that the “right” person doesn’t exist despite spending your entire life not finding them. However, you cannot deny the possibility that the “right” person also may not exist. It goes both ways. If Finn spent his whole life trying to look for the right person and didn’t find them, he can’t say that that person definitely did not exist as a conclusion, but there is an undeniable possibility that he might be right as well. Therefore, I don’t think the key to “avoiding resentment” is to always believe that there is something out there for me but I just haven’t found it yet. It might be true, but it might not. The key would be acceptance that you may or may not find what you are looking for your entire life. It is your unique journey and adventure. Nothing is promised, but lots of wonderful things might be waiting. Accept and exist as you are.

I think why love was your resentment example is because it's so common. We're told at a young age that we are all deserving of love. But we quickly find out that was a lie, and we don't deserve a thing. So it turns into the people that find love repeating the mantra that we all deserve love, and those that were cast aside grumbling that it's all a bunch of bologna. Then we're bombarded with the mantra that if you aren't experiencing love, it must mean you're either a terrible person or unlovable. That just seals the deal.

[@jjwebster1]

The cynical part of me thinks this is easy if you have a home and are well fed. However if you're homeless, hungry and in pain and see people walk past and ignore you it's far more difficult to not be resentful. The video talks about losing faith in the world and entitlement but doesn't say anything about the things we are (or should be) entitled to, such as housing, medical care, food. I think it's understandable and even acceptable for people to be resentful if they can't get access to those things as it can drive change and get the structural inequalities to be addressed.

[@matthewpaugh7741]

I just got out of four years of homelessness and have a huge amount of resentment to my ex and her father for putting me in the situation. Their actions have prevented me from having a good healthy relationship with my daughter who lives with her mother. I've been arrested wrongly and went through 4 years of barely seeing my daughter due to being homeless (the mother kept her from me and only let me have her at their place for visits and I'd sit through alienation from her while there so it just harbored more resentment which used to be towards her) I finally swallowed my pride and asked my mom to move back home. Was a hard pill to swallow but I knew I couldn't heal in the predicaments I found myself in. Hoping many of you get over this feeling because it is definitely one of the hardest things I've had to endure as an empathic person, I know my ex who hurt me hurts inside and I still care about her but her father made the relationship impossible to work and now I've become very jaded and can't allow myself to get into a relationship for fear of what happens to me in every relationship I've been in. I'm sure I am at some fault to some degree but the amount of damage they have done has been definitely cause for feeling resentment towards them. Embrace anger and fear and learn to become comfortable in those situations, it's hard but we're made strong enough to endure it. Hope you all have a great life and take care of yourselves out there! ❤️

And I was in a DARK place. I had to let go of blaming shitty medical professionals, romantic partners and friends who didn't stay by my side, and even my parents - who were not entirely supportive during the first couple of years of my struggles.

Entitlement isn't the only thing that leads to frustration. In fact I think a much better one is the lack of understanding how things (and people) work. At least that's what it was in my case. And it just turned out that I didn't have good role models and I was light-years away from success, and that even when I was doing the right thing in one aspect for a while, I'd still not get any positive results because I was lacking in so many other areas. So there was like no possible system for me to even get logical feedback. You can't believe how frustrating that is!

"Entitlement" is, sadly, one of the current trendy buzzwords. It's such an easy stone to throw at someone else, and is used by several different groups to vent their righteous "woke" anger. Yes, there is a great deal of entitlement behavior, but not as much as some would have us believe. Each and every one of us is struggling to just get through the day as best we can, but it's a struggle. It's not.. possible for anyone to get everything they want; a lucky few get the majority of their needs and wants met, but obsess about what they don't have; others get less on a sliding scale and they stress, also.

Question on a few things you said, "There's someone/something for me" My understandings and interpretations of these works (and even taken from and reinforced by some of your videos) is that it's an ever changing and evolving spectrum of possible outcomes that can all be considered more positive or negative depending on personal perspective. Meaning there is no "ONE" person, purpose, or meaning for one persons life but infinite chances to make it the best possible for yourself. Would you disagree with any of that?

3rd option. At the end of Finn's life, he said: some people, how ever long they search, never find the love they long for. Despite their fondest wish, they will live their lives alone and they will die alone. I am one of them. The countless rejections did not send me into a rage, or left me simmering in resentment. Instead they left me in quiet despair. I have thought long on possible causes of the many romantic rejections, and the one constant that keeps turning up is my self. First, i grew weary of searching. Then i lost faith in my self. Then i gave up my search and made my peace with the likely fact that i would never find someone to share my life with. I find the idea that the world, or women, owes me anything quite absurd. I tried, and eventually failed. It is as simple as that.

[@PeteTheGrouch]

It's true, the world doesn't technically 'owe' us anything... _however,_ never forget that the opposite also applies - namely, _you_ don't owe the _world_ anything either! Basically, live life for yourself, & do what you can to find your own happiness, or at least whatever passes for it... if there's one thing I've learned in this cold, harsh life, it's that no one else is gonna GIVE you that happiness - you need to seek & find it for yourself. I hope you succeed. Best of luck to you.

I feel the same. I am female and 50. I have never got married or started a family. I used to feel a little resentful, now I no longer feel resentful and I'm not hopeful either, If I allow myself to think about it I feel despair and sadness. I try not to think about it. I have a dog and I love him and he loves me.

As for myself, I just really don't want to commit to any relationships even though I used to fantasize about being in a relationship a lot before. I don't have a very good emotional wellbeing. I lash out quite fast because I just don't trust people who do good things for me anymore. And for that reason, I vowed to myself not to commit to any relationships. I don't want my partner to have to handle that hurtful part of me. Especially if we get to have a daughter/son, I don't want them experiencing the same things I experienced from my family. And after holding this vow close to me for a few years, it just dawned on me that I actually don't mind being single up until the end of my days. Why? Because I have friends that are there for me. And honestly, it's more than enough for me. Knowing that there are actually good people out there for me. And most importantly, I wouldn't have a child that would suffer the same way that I did. That thought brings me so much comfort. However, I also really would have loved to bond with my child if I had one. And it makes me sad thinking about it. But if it meant they wouldn't have to suffer like I did, then I'd be more than willing to experience this sadness for as long as I live and more. Yeah, I really would stick to this promise of mine. Thanks for listening to my Ted talk!! 😂

*_To find it yourself, or to abandon that one thing you long for..._* *_It's like the gold at the end of the rainbow. Though it is a fantasy, you can still choose to keep on looking, or you can turn away from it. Somehow, I ended up struggling in trying to put a stop to this cycle of hatred. It stems from my personal past, then to feeling like I was too obedient, and then to the point that my future is being decided._* *_I've... No... I think we're all guilty for "Entitlement". My true goal is to actually bring dreams to reality through the best I can do. That's why I'm so deeply passionate with art, music, and other things related to the digital side, including ones that could contribute to evolution. I wanted to inspire others, but though my mind wants revenge by doing the things they will never see in the future, to become someone that they will never live up to, some part of my soul tells me to not back down._* *_To not abandon this so-called "Hope"... Hopes in dreams._* *_The works of others that captivate me... still give me hope, especially to people I talked to, who are like elite artists. Honestly, I'm proud of their progress. It saddens me, yet angers me that artists had to suffer the hardest path to achieve the biggest dream: Inspire the World._* *_That's why I say to myself, "The road to the Creator will always be the hardest. To create something you love most, you must face tribulations."_*

When life throws rocks at you, it hurts when it hits you but no one will decide what to do with the rocks for you. And only you can choose to blame life for throwing you rocks Remember being resentful towards life will only keep you in your comfort zone and nothing grows there

I really agree with all of this but I'd like to read the book itself to see if it mentions the cases of when someone makes a very painful wrongdoing, being the most open and crude example from personal experience, someone who has been a victim of child abuse / sexual abuse, I know it's a very specific and painful example but it adds to the scale of grays that I'd like to explore about such topics mixing with my own personal experience, growth and healing process with proper teaching within the condominiums of philosophy. Great work nontheless Freedom in Thought, your videos have been really nurturing and it adds best to the future researches that I'm finding the time to do.

[@skullcrusher9873]

It does not. Nietzsche is not a self-help philospoher, this whole essay is pure bullshit made by the guy behind the channel. The name of Nietzsche in the title is used purely becouse of pseudo intelectual reasons of the author to shield his thinkings and has nothing in common with his writings. Nietzche was not a happy man.

[@Aristocletes]

@@skullcrusher9873 indeed he wasn't, if he was he wouldn't have had the moments that are written about his personal life, specially when he yelled at the working horse saying "I know your pain" I think that was near at the end of his life. Alas, despite that if he didn't wanted others to get better on their own then why the concept of the Ubersmench? Why then, despite all his suffering, his words speak about how the human can and should be the best out of itself with his own determination and humanity?

[@Aristocletes]

@@skullcrusher9873 At least it's what I can get that despite his suffering and his unhappiness he really did wanted others to use what he wrote among other things to get better, this reflects better on the fictional stories that get inspirations from him like the Japanese Manga Berserk among other tales from around the world, good stuff

I haven't become resentful towards women or the world because of my relationship failures. I've become resentful towards the never ending increasing expectations within those relationships. I think my expectations have always been reasonable but that the expectations of my partners is always so much more than I'm capable of that I just stopped trying as a matter of acceptance, not resentment. Ive felt feelings of resentment when other people insist that I want something other than what I want though because thats what they want or thats what they want me to want. Its like never ending psychological judo 🥋

Getting to that situation is worth the time and effort despite the distruction and the forced focus along the way that should be expected. Great video Thanks !!!

The causality of resentment could be many things and nothing to do with entitlement. While this may have been Nietzsche's reason, it's only one of many possible reasons. You could have resentment because someone hurt a loved one, wronged another, etc.. .

[@barba9791]

The occasional entitlement feeling that precedes frustration, seems more of a desperate feeling. It happens when one gets worn down. This circular "bounty to desert" life seems fair because it avoids one directional growth to ? , but when one constantly gets pulled with and exhausting continual current , and all life natural urge to survive and thrive is so stong the pain of being pulled into a place of hardship with a helpful attitude is difficult. However if one wishes to rde it out alive and well one must graciously accept change or death.

[@antoniovasquez9946]

Great video, I think the whole ressentiment analysis is spot on. The only thing I’d like to know more about is what would Nietzsche think of entitlement. Is the ubermensch entitled? Does our Will to Power have the right to desire all that it wants?

[@njumera]

Nietzsche would deny that we'd have a right to anything. He would say that there's only strong wills and weak wills. He uses an anology in Genealogy of Morals where lambs hate birds of prey that hunt and eat them.The lambs are resentful because they are the weaker ones and this leads them to think of those stronger than them as evil. But the birds of prey don't hate the lambs back. This is what ressentiment actually is to Nietzsche. It's a transformation of weakness into a hate of strength. To call an unbermench entitled would according to Nietzsche be ressentiment. He would see it as a way for "the weak" to try to hold "the strong" back with morality.

[@davidescalise9342]

The thesis "There's a place in this world, and a way to that place, for everyone which can't be denied by anyone except for themselves", cannot be definitely proven false, but, in its current state, cannot be proved true either. Choosing to believe this thesis to be true (or false) is an act of faith. Is it even necessary to elaborate on the fact that one of Nietzsche's primary goals was to eradicate every metaphysical faith altogether?

[@ginalinetti8975]

I think what he meant is the goals we set for ourselves and how our resentment and rage might prevent us from reaching them, unless we convince ourselves otherwise

I'm hoping for someone better will come, I'm hoping that there's something out there that will give me something or anything, not being an entitled person, but hoping that there is something or anything for me, no time for blaming others. Everything I do its because of me, and this life is 100 percent my responsibility. Hope is the only one thing we have when everything we got were lose. But if we never lose ourselves and we never give up there's always hope. And its a choice if we're being resentment and giving up hope. Its for the long term choice and world belief. Its being resentful or being hopeful. If we're being resentful we close our minds that a certain situation happen to us and based on that we generalized that everyone or everything is like that or the same way as that. Have we tried everything? There is a billion people out there. There's a billion ways of things to do. It's time to stop being resentful, blaming the world and everything, but the only problem is our own frustrations that we think we can't and because of being entitled on something or someone we think we are not be rejected or we are entitled to anything or anybody. But rejections is a part of it, part of our life. It's a matter of never give up, keep trying things, keep looking for improvements, keep moving, we think that there is always hope for humanity and especially for ourselves. In the end, its a choice of being resentful to the world, or being thankful, have gratitude, and hopeful of the world, it may be long term, or short term, maybe we find or not what we're looking for in this world, no matter hard or easy we struggle, we all die in the end, I think the best choice is being hopeful rather than blaming ourselves and everything. Being thankful, gratitude and hopeful of things, that thankful today that we're still alive, there's a rainbow after the rain. There's always another day to do other things and hope of things that will work or not. Another days to try, another moment to meet new people, try new challenges, more, and more. So many things to explore and more learnings along the way. And being resentment will stop us on doing things, stop other people in their own way because we think that it is what it is, is that all but not. There's always hope. So face our chaos and struggle together and by our own selves we see the reality of being hopeful is the best choice.
