My job was really getting to me after 6 years, went camping with some friends for a week with no reception, did some hunting, went for walks, got drunk around the fire, was the best time I had in years. It really helped to put everything in perspective. Ever since then I started caring less and less about my job and I've noticed I started to get better at it, my mental health has been improving, and my relationship has been better too. It's really difficult to stop caring about something, but for me this isn't a career, it's a job. They can buy my time but they can't buy who I am.

[@nutbastard]

Yeah, that sort of thing, getting back to the source, getting out of this artificial bullshit, it's a million times better than any therapy. Therapy exists to condition people to tolerate this artificial bullshit. In that way, therapy is evil. It's people forcing themselves to accept a world that is alien to us, or rather, contrary to our natural inclinations. In the woods with a small tribe, despite the discomforts of living outdoors? It's a healing experience. The loneliness and anonymity of cities is what's breaking people, but worse, people are adapting to it. You want to be healthy up top, in the old grey matter? See the same faces relatively often. Learn their names, make sure they know yours. Dunbar's number, you can fit about 200 people in your head. Say hi to people, make eye contact, if there's a storm or a fire, check in on each other. Help and don't keep score.

I watched Office Space for the first time at uni.

Now I make beer and whisky for a living 15 minutes from my house. I play with my son for hours every day, go on adventures with my wife, and cook meals for the both of them, which they seem to enjoy.

Not to sound lofty, but I would consider Office Space one of the most *important*, culturally significant movies ever made, and should be preserved in the National Film Registry. Nearly ALL of us can relate to how bad jobs and workplaces are managed. It has a universal appeal and a message for thought. That said, the characters take things to extremes, especially in 1999 when, if you were a software developer of any kind that was decent, you could pretty much name your job back then. Instead, these guys risked federal imprisonment for "the big retirement payout", but they ended up with other jobs anyway.

Society sells a lie. That you should always be happy and do what makes you happy. To “follow your passion” and have more, be more, do more. It’s a lie that’ll make you miserable. Sometimes you just have to put your shoulder to the wheel and push on through a crappy day, a crappy job, a crappy year and be a responsible adult. Good days wouldn’t exist without bad days. Good experiences wouldn’t exist without bad experiences. There will always be contrast because there must be. It’s ok. Just accept that and move through it. Having a good day? I can tell you what’s coming. Having a bad day? Don’t worry, because things will also change soon. Life is suffering. And there’s nothing wrong with that. In fact, it’s necessary if you ever want to improve.

This advice works for relationships btw. Once you stop chasing and giving a damn, your eyes finally see the real opportunities in your life. When you want too much you're desperate and have tunnel vision - ignoring all the opportunities outside of said narrow vision. When you relax, step back and reassess from a more macro perapective you see all of what you missed but also all the things you WOULD have missed had you not altered your perception. The first half of my life I spent working to live. But later I got caught up in the jank, a perfect storm happens + 2020 and now I'm working to live. But I already see the problem, see what it's caused and will be cutting this way short.

The person you are, is the person you were programmed to be by your life experiences. To become the person that you actually desire to be, you need to mentally, and spiritually, prepare yourself to sacrifice the old you... even if it shatters loved one's expectations of you. Hopefully, they will prefer the person you become over the person you were, but only a fool would count on that. Most people despise change, especially when it is forced upon them. It's going to be a rough road, but there is only one way to find out if it's worth it - and that is to take it.

Happiness can never be found, out there, in the pursuit of desire, pleasure and comfort. Why? Because you have never lost it. You've only concealed it. Inner peace and happiness, or more accurately, contentment can only ever be revealed.

This video is officially one of the truest and wholesome KZbin videos I’ve ever seen

[@Milk27]

I always come back to this video to ground myself from my thoughts

[@benjaminwilson8234]

When people count on you , you can’t make irresponsible decisions like these movies. Most of these examples feature a person who doesn’t have much at stake. Sure if I was single or making soap or hacking I could feel fine giving it up. These stories are great for being thought provoking most of us have responsibility or important things in our life we can’t afford to let down.

[@ataarono]

of course you can, you can just let people down who count on you

[@tryagainx900]

Yup that makes it a lot harder Sometimes the only choice is to stay the course for now and try to find a way to stay sane meanwhile Like someone else here said, this could be more about accepting what you can’t control than not giving a f*ck.

[@JonathanVachon777]

Thats true. The key is to work on things you control and let God control the parts you can't. Thats how i don't go crazy

Thank you I needed this today. Thank you for the reminder. I need to let go and focus on what is important and not let the bullshit slow me down.

[@storytellers1]

Thx man!

[@YoureNotReet]

Very well done! I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for making it and best wishes to you and your family.

[@007diego2]

This is why I like to use KZbin, watch movies, read books and watch great series. I want to come away with a little wisdom, beauty, inspiration and of course, maybe lessen my own personal pain. This video did that for me, thank you🤙🤙

I was not prepared for your personal story but that hit hard! superb video.

A charming and funny romcom with an undercurrent of stoicism and thumbing ones nose at power. Great movie

[@Xpressant]

Great video. Would love to see a modern version of this kind of theme exploration.

Asking not what makes you happy but what are you will to suffer for goes so hard

Love your guys’d channel. So happy to see you guys post again. Am still waiting for you guys to do a video on HBO’s The Leftovers. That show is right up your alley.

This movie is hilarious and catharsis for people who work terrible jobs

Office Space is my favorite movie.

[@mikhailiagacesa3406]

I completely disagree with you, but I guess I don't have the same hang-ups. I do agree that OS, Matrix and Fight Club are the holy trinity of Fin d' cycle movies(A. Beauty not included; it is about obsession, not escape). Also, dropping out is not new. It's been going on since G.I.'s got the Bill in 1945. Hip, 1950's. Hippies, 1960's. 'Dropping out', 1970's. Slackism(Church of the Subgenious), 1980's. Life was just as shite in the 90's, and these films recognized it. There are no Good ol' Days. I just wish that people of the 21st century would just admit it.

[@MerlinTheCommenter]

Couldn't disagree with you more. I guess it depends on what you consider "good ol days." You seem to have an ego invested definition of it which is why those eras don't live up to it. I will tell you a really basic version of my own definition: A time where I can relate to people and build a community that isn't around some niche topic and won't dissolve due to politics or some other divisive topic. Currently ATM, that's a pipe dream. Even church these days are having this problem. Someone else's definition I saw in the comments was "a time period where I can find a girl who isn't brainwashed and we can have a good time just being in each other's company." That one I found interesting even if I don't necessarily agree with parts of it.

[@fractale4322]

While I resonate with your cynicism about the 'good ol' days', I think there are very different problems in each era. This information age has a paradoxical problem of constant connection with little true connection, which I think requires a lot of thinking to improve. In a way we experience many of the anxieties of past generations simultaneously, only at a distance, which brings with it it's own problems. People have lived good lives and bad in every generation, we can only hope to move towards the best one we can achieve.

[@MotorCityMassacre]

Idk how this video doesn't have more views this is a great analysis

[@Dawnarow]

I would rephrase it by "letting go of words that are vague". Come back to them later... but the words that Do matter are used frequently and you redefine them when you know that they're not aligned with reality all that much. Some of them make you go: "Oh wow I didn't think of that". I wouldn't hesitate to seek for better sources of information when you're feeling down, but... never think that a source is valid until it is truly aligned with reality. John lenon's quote depicts a part of this idea: "A dream you dream alone is only a dream; but a dream you dream together is reality. It also speaks of happiness which is one of these vague terms that you have to let go in order to grasp the components it is made of. Yes, there is a definition for that word that I can't wait to share, but this account will not be the means to do so (sorry.. dont follow "me"). These ideas will eventually make their way to you. Whoever you are that reads this 2 years after.

'Every day is worse than the day before. So everyday you see me, it is on the worst day of my life.' This is my life. I hate my existence.

[@ataarono]

good, let the hate flow through you

[@IIISWILIII]

We can't inhabit the same attitudes, routines, or ways of being and expect different results. Momento Mori. One day, you are going to die. This ride is going to end. Amor Fati. Love your fate. Love everything you experience, good, bad, indifferent. Resentment leads to stagnation. Stagnation to dispair. It is the sum of everything that happens to you that makes you YOU. If you found these words helpful, I recommend you dive into learning more about stoicism. Marcus aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus. The words of these men have pulled me out of some very dark places

[@ataarono]

@@IIISWILIII having an attitude is optional. You cannot experience being dead, so is it really you? Loving your fate cannot exclude stagnation because stagnation can be your fate. It is also the sum of everything that you happen to that becomes you. If you craft a thing thats an extension of you like your arm is too. the dark places are part of you, rejecting them only leads to more guilt

[@IIISWILIII]

@@ataarono What's your point here? Are you arguing just for the sake of it? If you disagree, fine. Move on. The wisdom behind stoicism is timeless. It's just another tool that some find useful in navigating the suffering that is our existence.

[@ataarono]

@@IIISWILIII Its a seriously harmful take on that tool for anyone that would need it the most. strengthening the grip of the ego on your worldview when you really need to do the opposite.
