No matter what anyone says I feel that Mark deserves everything that he has there are KZbinrs that are complete jerks but act nice but you can really tell mark is just really kind

[@threecubed3]

Even though Mark admits he's not the best person I believe that he exhibits good qualities of a human in all his work like charities, interaction with fans and this interview, it makes it hard to see him as a bad person now becusse of the pain and trauma he experienced (losing a father, having a tumor etc). One video that reminds me of this is the video of him getting his wisdom teeth removed and then seeing him be so nice and sobbing. I know he was high after the surgery but in a way it brings out the true mark inside because of how sincere and emotional he was in that video.

So I discovered that up until you turn 18, you've spent over 90% of your time with your family. My sister died when 3 moths after my 18th birthday. She was about 19 at the time of her death. And we're suing the medical center for malpractice and using unconventional methods that only worsened her mental and physical health. We had a nice funeral. I never noticed how much time I spent with my sister until she ended up dying. So I'm very thankful that I was able to spend 90% of my time with her. and she lit up my world. She made me feel better when I was down, and going forward, I would have to accept the fact that I'll never experience that from anyone else ever again.

The story of him being in church when his phone blew up I feel actually symbolizes his growth in even more ways.

Don't downplay the 'little' victories just because channels that have been around a long time have millions of subs and the like.

[@kmdgaming6039]

The most important thing to take from Mark's experience is that almost all pain, be it physical or emotional, is temporary. There is always an endpoint, and you'll feel better afterwards if you just accept it as part of you. At least, that's what my takeaway from him is.

Mark talking about how pain puts things into perspective is so true. I've been through a lot of emotional, mental and physical pain; so when I hear someone complain about stuff, a lot of the time it just seems so mundane. I don't mean that in a way to invalidate their pain; it's just that when I think about what I've been through and what others have been through, it becomes minor in comparison. I used to think my period cramps were the most painful thing ever; then I got a birth control inserted into my uterus, vomited and almost passed out from the pain. Now, every other pain I feel isn't so bad. I thought finding out my ex cheated on me was the most painful thing ever; then my dad died. Now, I don't think anything will ever be as painful as that. Or at least outside of other people in my life dying.
