when other person is less intelligent, less smart, you fell comfortable, vise versa and you feel threatened/intimidated and this will show up in your actions in various forms.

You act smart and intelligent and people around you dont like it, unless you are way too intelligent then everyone has to give up.

Certain communities in Minneapolis live by his words, but they're too ashamed to admit it outright.

Good teachers have authority by their position, but they are only effective if they can stand in the student’s shoes and point to the next step toward mastery.

"The reason we are here is to love each other'- Chrisy Hynde of the Pretenders. Don't over intelectualize it too much.

Ah yes, the Columbo Technique. I live by it.

An existential crisis is a window which gives you an opportunity to seek the real you. The window led me to writing and reading.

Hello 👋

IF there is a God, it is an absentee landlord.

Thank U.

As per tolostoy himself, he agreed that science has concluded that there is no purpose of life which is the title of this video..what ppl and part of this video has mixed is connecting "happiness " with " purpose of life"..but these are 2 different topic. Happiness is state of emotion..simply meaning if you have nothing to worry, you are happy..or if you problems/issues that means you are not happy..and my suggestion is ppl should try to find how to remove problems so they can be more happy..this is not optimistic answer, but this is what keeps me going...

Whatever “good” is.

There’s no meaning to life other that what an individual makes of it 😃

People trust a confident fool that a nervous wise man

This is the opinion of a 14 year old edge lord.

Like many things if one misses the mark by a millimeter they may as well missed it by a mile. Tolstoy did not hit the mark but his competent attempt is important. Religion as a concept comes close but still misses the mark. The narrator starts out with "why" are we here? What is "our" (human beings) purpose. Note he does not ask "how" we got here and for now that's fine. Why are we here? The best starting answer is from Walt Whitman in his poem "O Me! O Life!". Whitman concludes how he got here is irrelevant but that he IS here and thus has relevance and agency and now he (like all of us) contributes our unending "verse" into the poetic fabric of being, by our actions and thoughts. But that is not all of it. What is this "verse" we contribute? What should it be? That answer is really even easier. Like fish swim and birds fly, the thing humans do (and have done) so naturally is to "know". We are the beings of knowledge. We (and all self aware, thinking, introspective and reflective beings of the universe) present as the "cerebral cortex" of existence. It is our job to "know" and refine the knowledge more accurately as time moves on. Baruch Spinoza answered that one best. He saw God and all of nature as one in the same. If you wanted to know "God" then know nature, including ourselves. We are the beings that bring understanding to the universe. That is our job and WHY we are here and will give us the greatest fulfillment. Tolstoy in his attempt to reason our existence was actually doing what he is supposed to be doing. Attempting to bring knowledge to a question of humanity. Hitting the mark with the answer is the goal but also even if he missed the mark, getting us as a species, a bit closer to it is still fulfilling the job. The irony is that all the while he was pondering with good clarity, why we are here, he was actually performing the "why" but was unaware of it. Understanding this about ourselves, about yourself will bring you to a new level of self awareness. Much like the first humans who first saw their reflection (likely in a pond or lake) and at some point (but not right away) realized, "hey that is me", so is this level of understanding.

Here is spoken of a wonderful family and loving wife but I kind of learned Leo hated family-life and his wife

Some questions do not have answers."Everything is determined,the beggining as well as the end."A Einstien.We are all just the product of our conditioning.Therefore we can be nothing more,or less than The conditioning..The ground beneath your feet and the sky above your head,what else do you need?

The great thing about Machiavelli is we could see him coming. That is why he and his dumb ideas didn't last long.

The meaning of life is help one another, not to destroy 😊

🇪🇺🇬🇷🇪🇺🇬🇷☦️ Good and bad guys Suffer So???? Jesus Christ told the same But Why be a good guy and suffer? Or Why be a bad guy and suffer??? Both good and bad gius suffer Thats Christianity to me So remain a good guy Is good for statistic Only To say to society and god That you remain good guy In this life 🇬🇷🇪🇺🇬🇷

Machiavelli is the model of Lawful Evil

I wonder if he'd have more enjoyment if the Internet was available. The modernized of developed world, material wealth, is seldom appreciated.

Yeah… eventually humanity will destroy itself because of this, but may be for the better.

Reasoning. Finding a reason for everything. Extreme intellectualism will keep one searching, in one's head. not understanding everything and the reason for it can make these types suffer extremely. intellect and linear genius is exalted in many societies. Monetary wealth, marriage, and children exemplifies the ultimate status and social acceptance to the point of a celebrity or Royal status. it seems he achieved these things but his soul or spirit or whatever it is - called him it seemed like and wouldn't let go. or he couldn't let it go. I've heard some spiritual teachings speaking about overcoming the intellect and reason is one of the hardest things to do, but is the ultimate task to reach humility, surrender and ultimately peace with oneself for some. Attempting to understand and judge all external affairs outside of one's control, will lead to Great suffering and being lost, traveling to seek the answer. this is what I got from this video. it was a great story and resonated with me. thank you for the upload. it seems like this man had everything in some people's eyes -he had it "all" which wasn't the answer for him and he put in the efforts to find what he was actually looking for which was peace which made him an altruistic and amazing person. I hope to become like him. what a journey!

The parable is nothing but a symbolism of our existence, the dark deep well is nothing but death, anyhow the man/human beings and everything is fated to die or decay but the honey symbolises happiness and the branch symbolises the present moments and it's value, you don't worry about tomorrow's death, just experience your present moments heart fully.

He started questioning in his 50's but I'm started it from my 22, now 28.

My view is that we currently do not have the tools/language/capacity to "understand" the meaning of life. However you can create your own meaning. If you accept that everybody "suffers" in life (Buddhists have this concept), then if you help people, you reduce their suffering. So, even though you do not understand the meaning of life you give it your own meaning. Tolstoy changed his life in his later years to help and be kind to people. It would have been nice to have had chat with him😊 Neil

There is no advantage in people knowing that you have an advantage

Fascinating! Tolstoy's journey to find meaning resonates with me. Habit10x has helped me clarify my own purpose and find peace in the present ✨💫

Tío much free time?

Only what is eternal gives meaning to life. Thankfully Jesus saved me.

Thankfully I found Jesus Christ. Only Him offers life with full of hope. Now I can face reality in all shapes and sizes.

True hell is realizing self is nothing more than a hodgepodge contraption of others with a smidgen of originality.

Never met me, 🫏hole

Niccolo Machchiavelli the crooked Italian royal advisor of 14th Century AD was like reincarnation of Indian kingmaker high priest during 4th Century BC Acharya Vishnugupt Chankyaji (the Brahmin who saved India from the invasion of King Alexander the Great and the Guru who founded the Mauryan empire right from scratch).Machchiavelli's crooked philosophies are eerily similar to Acharya Chanakya's 4 point treachery mantra of "Saam Daam Dand Bhed" which translates to negotiation,pricing,punishment and discrimination (thereby Chanakya was nicknamed 'Kautilya' meaning trickster).

The ONLY ONE who can tell us the purpose of our existence is our creator. Allah told us in His last message to humanity that on Judgment Day He will take witnesses from among us to invalidate any argument against His judgment, the day when He will gather His creation from all dimentions and throw whoever disobeyed Him and wanted to ruin His creation in Hell along with their followers. Of course Muslim scholars cannot tell you that because they're criminals and thieves who don't follow Quran. The Quran stands against all the crimes and myths they follow and will ruin their business

The pursuit of power, in it of itself, must be considered evil because it implies the pursuit of superiority; that’s antithetical to our primal instincts to survive as a species - as a collective. Our ability to value each other’s life as inherently equal, since we all came from the same spliced cell, is crucial and foundational to understanding our nature, and should be the basis for resolving any conflict.

I have just discovered that I am an Absurdist.

If everyone knew why we are here, it is not valuable at all.

WAR and PEACE - If life is the opposite of death, both are halves of the yes, I exist, and the inexorable no; the end of the sand of time in one of the vats of the eternal hourglass of infinity.

Verily in the remembrance of Allah/God do the hearts find peace/rest. Quran 13:28

Individually our purpose in life is the pursuit of happiness. Collectively we are here to use our knowledge and technology to create the next Big Bang. Just like the ones that created ours, so we can exist. And hopefully, the next universe will evolve conscient beings that will continue creating the next universe so that we can exist for almost eternity.

There is no reason why we are here.

It is not the lack of gratification, immediate or not; it’s the lack of experiences that are left available to us. Nowadays, who has the time to dream, let alone work on a project…

Thanks for sharing this 🙌

Interesting paintings...

We could understand better "why are we here" if we understood "what happens next" After everyone dies and the term of this world has ended, everyone will be given their lives back by the One who gave them their lives in this world, and everyone will be judged on what they do in this world by the One who determined their existence in this world. This temporary life is a test. Like exams that we take in school, this "life test" has a "times up" and the "times up" is when we die. And Allah created the heavens and earth in truth and so that every soul may be recompensed for what it has earned, and they will not be wronged. (Al-Quran 45: 22) And they say, "There is not but our worldly life; we die and live, and nothing destroys us except time." And they have of that no knowledge; they are only assuming. (Al-Quran 45: 24) Say, " Allah causes you to live, then causes you to die; then He will assemble you for the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt, but most of the people do not know." (Al-Quran 45: 26)
