i get what he is saying, BUT: when you have a cronic inherited illness …and somebody tells you, health is a choice..? or a friend of mine kicked the bucket with cancer at the age of 16!! obviously she didn't make the right choice… …then her mother didn't make the choice to be happy about that, how stupid of her !? 'modern' culture breeds/indoctrinates rigid egos into us, so life doesn't flow anymore, instead it becomes a nightmare of resistance, of lack, of constant duality. no amount of suffering seems to enable us to let go of ego (like the Buddha, or Tolle, Krishnamurti, and others..). instead we drug ourselves until/or we terminate our bodies.. thats the brutal reality. …sorry, had to let that out (not that anybody will read it)
The state know as happiness is impossible to maintain forever. Meaning is the only long-term way to bolster yourself against the inherent suffering of life. Finding the proper balance while progressing through the various aspects of life is a never-ending process, yet if the endeavor has meaning, not only does it allow you to face the times of struggle head-on, but the journey itself becomes so engaging, that one needn't ask wether life is worth living.
9-5. I fucking wish, blue collared slob here working an average of probably 55 hours a week to earn a modest living. I have a loving 🥰 wife, fabulous daughter, decent house, 700HP Mustang, truck, 2 awesome dogs….. oh hey, maybe I am rich
