[@Jeorin]

One day while working, I read a news article about an elephant that got loose somewhere in India. It killed several people before it was finally put down. I felt sad for the people who died, sad for the elephant, sad that this could've been avoided if people hadn't tried to lock up and control the elephant in the first place. Mostly I felt powerless. Here was a senseless loss of life on the other side of the planet I could do nothing about. While we can't fix everything, we should be doing our part to make the world a better place. If everyone did this, it would make a huge difference. Maybe even inspire people on the far side of the globe to do the same. So what can you do to help change the world? Vote, donate, volunteer, but most importantly, don't be an asshole. Leave the world a better place than when you entered it and you've done your part.

[@brandonmorel2658]

Yeah, that's right, but dont think about that, its cool to not think about all of the doom and gloom, the people died and the elephant died, not your fault, helping may give you peace of mind and a good conscience, what matters is to not be one of the people that got screwed , not being an asshole too like you said, being a nice person to the people around you is enough imo.

[@Dukefazon]

Right around 5:50 I almost broke down crying :( I thought you are a funny guy, Leo, a zoomer, not a doomer. Welcome to my world. I had a cat that my older sister left in the family home when she moved out, I loved that cat deerly. She died (the cat that is) in the summer of 2002. After that I never wanted a pet on my own. But my mother kept getting new dogs, 2 guinea pigs. I was devastated when the guinea pigs died. I'm just like you Leo, sometimes I look at pets and start the math in my head how many years I have with them. Now I live together with a girl who brought 2 beatutiful and clever cats into my life and it pains me to think that one day they'll go :,( Hug your cats while you still can even if they were a jerk just a second ago. Leo, if you need to talk, we're here, don't turn a Robin Williams on us!

[@mowganashwey]

My dog (Choopie, the chupicabra) was given to me just a week after my first dog passed. I guess we dont know if he passed, but he ran into the countryside during a blizzard, after I had fallen asleep at the wheel. He only weighed 5 pounds. My family searched from 4 am until about 7 pm when I finally got home. I was still mourning that loss and it being my fault. Was still calling shelters every day, when i was given Choopie. I rejected him at first, poor little guy. I wanted my buddy, my first dog, the dog I raised from a puppy that could fit in my palm. We really bonded when he somehow peed right into my manipulative ex's water glass. (He left water glasses all over the floor.) It was the first time I had laughed in some time. Now I do just what you mentioned, I count the possible years we have left. I spend way more time and money than maybe I should just trying to make sure the X years he has are happy. Now we have been together for about 7 years, he's been my only roommate for 3 of them. I know it will wreck me and I think "should I get another dog so he has a good friend and I wont be alone when he is gone?" "Should I take finding a relationship more seriously so I dont wind up completely isolating myself as I tend to do when Im depressed?" Good gravy, Im crying. Long comment, sometimes you just have to get it out.

[@LeoVader]

thanks for writing this! there's no right answer for these things. personal note, i did get a second cat mostly so my first cat would have a friend and i wouldn't be alone when he's gone haha. it's actually worked out really great, partially because we got the new cat really young so my older one took to taking care of him really quickly.

[@doctorzeek2370]

Bruh at the end when you started bouncing while worrying. this channel and you are so cathartic, i feel such an emotional kinship, its like, so many videos you go over exact internal monolouges ive had and it helps me feel.. idk, better? less alone idk. ive watched every video in order except your newest the now you see me one, ( its how i found you) and just. thank you. so funny,but so real also. i look forward to watching this channel grow with everyone else

I don't think I've commented on a yt video for the like last 10 years but this came to me at such a perfect time and had such a profound effect on me, I cried in the room with my two cats who I have had the same thoughts about so often, and went to give them a big pat and cuddle. Thank you for this video ❤️

[@timestampjones5660]

I know this is way late but it seems like almost everyone in this comments section found your bigger vids and binged your whole channel like I did. I was high on shrooms last night and thought that the “now you see me” video was 11/10 chefs kiss, so I eventually got here. My cat of 15 years passed a couple weeks ago and I never really got to see him or let out those emotions. As soon as you started showing your cats in the middle of this video I just broke down. This is probably some of the most motivating content I’ve ever come across and has genuinely made me feel more appreciative of every person/animal/experience I have left.

I can do what I can to make the world better, as much as one person can do. But I can now stop and look at my cat or up at a blue sky and feel good, peaceful.

Several years ago, Hawaii had a false alarm for nuclear weapons and everyone in Hawaii thought they were going to die for several minutes. Afterwards, someone posted this comment. I don’t remember their name, but it has stuck with me ever since. It seems oddly applicable here. "I have a favorite cup that I use all the time. One day, I will drop it and it will break. This is the inevitable end for a cup, but I will still be devastated that I broke it. I will curse myself for not being more careful as I pick up the pieces. But if I accept now that the cup is already broken, then every moment with it is precious."

my cat died last year and the damage it dealt me made me lose all courage to adopt a new one id love a friend wholl play and sleep with me again, but knowing the pain of loss makes me fear starting to love. by which i want to say, i think you're brave just from managing to adopt a new one whilst being aware of their mortality, because you treasure more the fact they're alive, probably, even if deep down your memento vita is stronger than memento mori, while mine is weaker and i cant endure the sadness set on the future
