    I really enjoyed this video! I think it does bring awareness to the fact that many of us are chasing achievements with that being the driving pressure to act rather than the pressure of religious beliefs + social acceptance. I find with the trend of new age spirituality God/Universe is a much more supportive figure but often utilized to push people towards achievement.

      Thank you!
      I think the lack of spirituality in modern culture is manifesting itself in endurance sports and social media i.e. people trying to find their 'tribe' and purpose in their lives

    I think it's hopeless to explain this to most people on the 21st century, but there's nothing wrong with "you". There's a lot wrong with the system of slavery in which we live. Chickens and pigs are not the only animals that live in farms, humans do to. But our farm is much harder to see because of all the lies we have been told in school, implicitly and explicitly.

      I think that's a book isn't it? comparing humans to farm animals.

      @@LawHero I know there's a famous book with animals that act like humans, but I've never read it. Don't know if that's the point.
      I recently saw in a video that in the 15th century on England (where usury was outlawed) the peasants used to work 17 weeks a year. Can you imagine that? So much "progress" we've had...

      @@Jaime-eg4eb Its called Animal Farm by George Orwell, and its about the Russian Bolshevik revolution. Thought that was what you are getting at. But yes, generally we are kept so busy by the achievement society we do not have time to rebel. That is why during COVID, people had time to consider racism in the US, among other things and BLM became so widely known.

      @@LawHero people at large have never considered anything in their lives, they are led by the media which is controlled by a handful of corporations. Those movements are not about racism, they are about dividing the people into a myriad of irrelevant categories so they fight among themselves while the people in power keep all the money.

    You are beautiful and brilliant but what is the point? Your grandmother had it right. Nobody dies saying "I wish I had spent my life at the law office and didn't have all these grandchildren!" Maybe it went off track sometimes, but that discipline was loving and liberating in a way we have forgotten. The tyranny of selfishness and "liberation" is a trick

      @@LawHero and in the video you promulgated your lifestyle and values. I am asking an existential question, rhetorically. I think you know that. You are highly intelligent. What is the point? Are you going to die happier this way or if you lived like your grandmother? What if you put on some clothes, quit that job, told that man you need a ring, went back to the church and made some babies while you still can? You are going to get old and die either way.
