This channel or psychology in general is very good at explaining the human condition but it just doesn't match the reality we see. It doesn't help an addict or someone with clinical depression. I still think that we pay a lot of lip service to mental health issues but when it comes down to it we are totally in the dark and unequipped to help those who need help. Regardless of the fact that life is suffering and that these words wonderfully explain why and how we suffer, they don't provide solutions. After years of suffering and losing everything that you held dear and then after years of talking to a therapist or a monk and absorbing their wise words and apt quotes you walk out with the conclusion that I am still suffering but now I think I know why I am suffering and that is as good as it gets. Some get a lot worse and others learn to carry on while tolerating the pain depending on their genetics or social and economic standings. Freud started as a neurologist but since there was hardly anything that he could do to help the poor souls he saw around him he turned to psychology. At least then he could see the middle class in a comfortable office and talk about sex. There are conditions that are now being helped at least somewhat effectively that used to be considered psychological and havig to do with too much or too little masturbation like tourette syndrome and femalehysteria. Hopefully understanding the brain and understanding the neurology of some of these problems will one day help us out of these paradoxical words of wisdom but until then all we have are these pretty stories.
@@nirgunawish What does Gabot Mate have to do with it? He too, is only describing the causes and mechanics without providing any solutions. That is what I was trying to explain.
It's a pity that suffering is not distributed equally. Some people get a hell of a lot more suffering than others (due to lifelong bad health for example).
Regarding the last video: It's painful to deal with our past and at times we might have to deal with it our whole lives, but if we stay at the middle point where we're always confronting it, we will never actually accept what has happened to it and learn from it. Just like the victim of a burglary is very likely not going to cry for the rest of their life over the 50€ that were stolen from them, we cannot stay lamenting about what has happened to us forever because we'll end up being an eternal victim, never taking control of our emotions and accepting what has happened to us.
When suffering comes knocking at your door, let it in, sit with it, tend to it and be a good host. Don’t try to chase it away or run away from it, it would catch hold of you one way or another. Make friends with it and you won’t be taken aback when it visits you next :)
@@i-love-comountains3850yeah drug abuse is like that. Simply running from the suffering and translating it into a different form. I know firsthand. Though everyone does as we are all addicted to comfort.
The united states military is using technology and manpower to protect deviant sadistic Child SAers that are misusing their access to advanced tools to spy on, harass, and forcibly SA children.This sometimes follows them into adulthood. Children that are still too young to know that what they are seeing is not normal are being exposed to disgusting deviant content that is forcibly shown to them by hacking their devices. Many victims may not even know they have been targeted by this, because the majority of the actual SA happens when they are slipped something that incapacitates them or they are asleep, the only reason they might know is because the perpetrator may leave behind physical evidence, like bruises, scratches, or bodily fluids. If a victim discovers what has happened to them these worms will misuse equipment and manpower to stalk, shame, mock, and generally try to make the lives of the people affected by this as hellish as possible both offline and online. They follow victims in person and try to intimidate or harass them. They generally use different people who act as though they aren't affiliated with each other and don't do anything they can be arrested for at the time of the harassment. They think they can shame and mock victims into silence because some of what happens is coerced. These are depraved cowards that gather in groups to harass solitary women and children just to protect deviant SAers
it's amazing how you always push some button that makes me feel fond of life but also sad. Your videos take me back to the feeling I got when I first questioned the point of me living. Much appreciation to you
@sneakerbabeful If there is no meaning in suffering, there can be no meaning in happiness. And if there is no meaning in happiness, then rebel against meaninglessness by making your own.
5:23 my philosophy is that, life can be always more painful in all manners of ways and you gotta make peace with the pain you already feel and be grateful it's not worse.
I used to find the Buddha's teaching that life is suffering weird and pessimistic. But as I grow older... Well I think the Buddha is just being realistic haha. What I love about Buddhism is that the Buddha doesn't just stop at "Life is Suffering". But he taught us how to navigate ourselves through life too. The more I learn about Buddhism, the more I understand why and how. But yeah mostly it revolves around being aware and mindful of our own thoughts and consciousness. Great video once again Sisyphus
It is a common misconception to assume Buddhism implies suffering is essence which is not what he's saying. "There is suffering" is more accurate, as in suffering in itself does not exist, but perception of such does. Just as someone has a terrible life, and another a beautiful and healthy one, the qualia of suffering by degree could be entirely inverted based on the constitutions of the individual. Thus suffering is not the same, or definable as an essential part of reality, but a subjective experience like love.
@@Galvvy yes! And I recently discovered a line from Visuddhimagga that does "There is suffering, but no one suffers". I think it mainly revolves around the teaching of Sunyata. And I thought that is amazing
The way I had it explained to me was that the concept usually translated as "suffering" is more analogous to a profound dissatisfaction than it is to mere pain. One can feel pleasure and still be suffering on an inherent level- that is, to understand on some level that said pleasure is ultimately worthless in a world that withers and dies. The corollary, of course, is that pain is equally meaningless, so you may as well just accept the transience of existence. That's why "attachment” (upadana) is such a core concept, because all of our sorrows can be expressed as either clinging to pain (usually unintentionally) or clinging to pleasure (whose inevitable absence leads to pain). It also explains why people can still feel deep sadness despite material comfort, much like the Buddha himself did when he saw the suffering of the masses the first time he left the sheltered existence afforded to him by his wealth. It’s staggering to see how much of what would later become ”optimistic nihilism" was pioneered by Buddhist thought thousands of years earlier.
your videos are the ones i look forward to the most, yet i’m always momentarily afraid to click on them before watching. so many hard truths. but i leave inspired and with a refreshed feeling every time
I've seen you've been uploading rather frequently, I love your videos, the style, presentation and the way you break down otherwise abstract concepts and perspectives for people is an excellent contribution the world, although I haven't kept up with the uploads as i'm used to your slower rate of releases (and myself trying to spend a lot less time on youtube lol) I get the sense that somethings have happened. I just want to say I appreciate you, wholeheartedly, and wish you all the best in life, i'll be sure to catch up on your videos but in the meantime please take care of yourself and take it easy, Much love, Stranger on the internet, ♥
bawling my eyes out with a smile. These are all lessons I had already read, but how you presented them made them resonate much more. Thanks for helping so many people open up, communities like this give me hope in humanity ❤
I love that I can now acknowledge pain and suffering in my life as a learning opportunity. Also I love your videos thank you for all the effort you put into them. You’ve helped show people like me there is hope in this meaningless world
Thank you, Sisyphus, for this deeper dive into buddhism. I think you’ve articulated the constant nature of pain and the importance of grappling with it to continue one’s development very well. I think this video has the potential to be very touching for some, like how many of your other videos have been so touching for me. If this video makes sense to you, you in the comments reading this, and you believe that your mind can become a comfortable, loving home, I implore you to take up a meditation practice. It will feel like nothing is happening, but with time (I started noticing genuine change in my behavior for the better within a month), active exploration of your inner landscape and a continuous, ever-unending acceptance of pain, suffering is avoidable and equanimity is inevitable. If you believe in putting in the work for yourself, for your mind, body and spirit and you want a more highly attuned existence, meditate. On a semantic note, I believe it is more productive to relate to the sentiment “Pain is inevitable, suffering is not” or for short “Life is Pain”. The key difference between pain and suffering being that pain is the pure experience of hurt, the signal from your body/mind that something is negatively effecting oneself whereas suffering is simply one’s reaction to pain which then results in hardship. One can recognize pain and not suffer. Thank you again for your videos, Sisyphus. I relate to all of them so deeply 🙏
my best guy at work, he is barely finishing high school. but he has the magical combination of having overcome tough things, a general disregard for authority, and a commitment to making himself happy. he's a perfect human.
if you're struggling with depression, anxiety, intrusive thoughts and negative self talk like i was(and from time to time still am), i suggest you read the book the happiness trap.
wow, books curing mental illness! nice joke, terrible advive which can lead to someone's condition may become only worse or even lead to the su!cide of that person
I just wanted to share that I often have auditory hallucinations, most of which are very unpleasant. A couple days ago i hallucinated you saying “nice job” after I made myself some Mac N Cheese and it was honestly more support than I had gotten all week. So thank you Sisyphus
Suffering, although we do not wish it upon ourselves, does make us better people, and helps us grow and mature. Have you ever spoken to a person who’s been through a lot and how they are and how they speak, vs talking to someone who hasn’t suffered much and is still naive? It becomes very obvious.
Life is full of suffering; How you rationalize this decides your state of mind. The immature response is to feel sorry for yourself; Or you can accept any feeling (positive or negative) as a blessing: The probability that you get to be alive + experience an emotion is zero. The childlike response to hardship: Choosing to feel sorry for yourself, practicing regret, assuming a depressive state. The enlightened mindset: Choosing to appreciate the hardship, acknowledge it as a blessing, and understand the sheer impossibility it is you get to experience life to begin with.
Advice: write a journal and pause every few secs, thrown in helpful quotes from this, and you might notice like I did, that you begin filling in the blanks, you relate more, by making this all sit longer too, this video was 40min for me- and who I come out of it as is much more mentally stable than who went in today. You won’t remember everything you hear in this video, more than likely - but this I feel really makes a difference, it kind of goes down like.. Dysfunctional thought about self, followed by Sys’s advice and quotation, followed by your own questioning of your ability, personally to achieve what he’s saying, and so on, until you meet at a point - one where you can say, okay here is a stable answer / direction to take from this video and apply in whatever way, against those thoughts. This sounds a lot like taking credit or way of forcing relation, or whatever- this obviously won’t work for anyone, if I try to find holes in what I just said, I will- I am way too imperfect to really say the word “advice” anymore.. However, it did seem to help me a bit to do that.
After days years, months and Day's hours. And minutes today I couldn't take it anymore and I started to cry and I was in extreme pain . I'm dealing with a lot of health issues spacaily a sexual disorder. I was searching ways on the internet to get rid of it and finally I realized that I'm not the only one. Afterwards I did research on the other health problems I have and I found out people suffer with it for there entire life. I just realized something. You can't get rid of suffering. The world is really burning. Each single minute millions of people are suffering. I just felt a sense of calmness and I suddenly understood that the need to recover from my illness are just not that worthy. Because there's no meaning. The whole world is burning. And I just have to give up and accept it . I atchuly feel much calmer now and I don't care about anything. Because I realized that this suffering can not be avoided. So I just live and actually I don't have big dreams. I won't chase any desire anymore. I just realized that it's not worthy. I don't feel a need to go behind desire anymore it feels so calm.to let go of everything 😌
Hey, i read your comment, and it kinda reminded me of myself, as someone who has been suffering from chronic pain and insomnia for years trust me, I understand, and i am not gonna try to give you that optimistic talk to find joy and ilumination in the suffering , only people who havent experienced real suffering go through that , but you shouldn't give up on yourself, your hopes and your desires, than you wouldn't just be suffering but you would be suffering on vain, dont let the world win, you dont know how many time ive been in crucifing pain takling to myself, telling the life, the universe whatever all this mess is that it has won , but as long as i am alive i cant except that, and you shouldn't either, just beacuse there are other people suffering like us dont make it right, most propaly we might never get better and shouldn't get our hopes up but yet we should stop trying , we are gonna suffer anyway wether in rebelion or exeptence.
Suffering is a part of this world, and it is designed for that .. Objecting to it is useless because it does not change anything..But knowing the reason makes a big difference and this is what we have seen in one of the places in our world, Palestine, where in the midst of suffering people lose their families, friends and homes, and yet they are receptive and better off than others who may object for trivial reasons and suffer much less. Be optimistic, look at the positive side of it .
I know life has it's toils yet at the same time there has to be some respite from constant pain. I yearn for the day my suffering will stop. The cruelty of humans has taken it's toll on me. I just want a group of Angels to come take me away. I can't take the heartache and abuse anymore.
7:11 Recently moved to a new school outside my country and lately it’s been one hell of an experience to adjust, esp with my social anxiety. Just when I was questioning my decision to apply for this school, this pops up. The timing of this video couldn’t be more perfect, thanks.
Suffering teaches us a lot of pivotal lessons. Nothing comes easy in this world. You'd have to face hardships to be able to obtain what you genuinely deserve.
@@Sadnessiuseless Just because it feels good, doesn't truly mean that it is good. We chase happiness, but no one really deserves it. No one is guaranteed it. No matter how much public opinion you obtain, if life decides that you eat dirt that day... you will. Not to forget that the pure pursuit of it leads to hedonism and all.
Loving Attention has allowed my relationship with alcohol to change hugely and organically after many years of trying to force that change. I’ve experienced the possibility that can be found in extreme self love and acceptance. It’s a journey I’m glad to be on . I see many others here as well and I am glad. I say the five remembrances every morning during my morning meditation time. It’s helped me come to terms with the inevitability of loss. If loss is inevitable and my only power is in my actions then I find myself feeling empowered to take meaningful action .
FML this video is what i'm running away from. It took me years to realize that i'm not tired of life, i'm tired of an sick society wich confronts me with never ending symptoms...
Life is suffering, that's exactly what makes it worth experiencing. To bitch and moan about the inevitabilities of life like pain, suffering, and death is a wholly pointless endeavor to justify one's own inadequacies and weakness. the only right Course of action after realizing said inevitabilities is to learn to accept it and even enjoy it. pain is pleasure, suffering is joy to those who are open minded enough to accept this truth. Great video, keep up the good work. love the optimistic-nihilism.
Yeah. I overcame a really bad and long DPDR spell by doing just this. Sitting with it, being patient, stopping this meaningless yearning for wanting to go back to a certain way of things
Your videos are so beautiful and I’m so happy that I came down this path of self improvement and not the red pill content that most teens my age falls into. And I think videos like yours help we accept my weakness and be more kind to my self and your videos help me though my 1st ever brake up and it helped me come out a better person and thank you for that. I love your videos and always look forward to them
Just wanted to thank you for this video man idk what it was but it released something that I’ve been keeping in for so long and man it feels better thank you man
Hey there man, just want to say I hope you’re doing alright. If you need to talk, you can reach out. And know to never give up in your suffering either 🩵 please make sure to take care of yourself too, and know that Jesus loves you and He is there to help carry your burdens. He loves you, died, and rose for you to provide you with everlasting life and peace. So you can turn to Him as He always has open arms for you too. Remember you are loved and worthy. I hope this encourages you friend!
I feel that way too. Modern times do anything but guarantee our safety, even for the next 10 years, why would anyone in their right minds bring an innocent creature into this world?
If you don't exist, you don't experience pain and suffering, yes. But you also don't experience happiness and love. In short: Anti-natalism cringe lol.
@@2minuss A nonexistent person can't experience any form of happiness, but they won't suffer because of that inability. If you evaluate your life as one whose happiness outweighs its suffering, that's your right since it's your life. Some people evaluate their lives in the opposite way, and that's their right. The problem with reproduction is the parents don't know how the child will eventually evaluate their life. The parents are essentially gambling where one of the possible outcomes is someone-who couldn't have consented to be involved-having a bad life. The probability of one's life going bad and how bad it can possibly get shouldn't be underestimated. If you cringe at that, 🤷
i'm from brazil and this is one of my favorite channels. your videos are so well thought out, you bring so much quotes and analysis to super interesting topics, while the visuals and audio are so peaceful and entertaining. this is modern philosophy in its higher form. thanks a lot for posting
Yes, we are here to go against suffering. Some people did great job towards it, some doctors, scientists, inventors for example. But then things went south. Doctors worldwide spread more suffering than help. Scientist do nothing just to take grants. Inventors focus on weapon, narcotics. Those who claim suffering is required they work for evil people and they do great job for them cause so much filth came to the light about the elites and nothing, we all just comply, ignore and whenever they're hunting some people just like animals get happy that it's not their turn this time, until it is and then the stupid question - why me? - occurs.
I’ve literally gone through buddhas journey of enlightenment after living through ptsd and dissociation my whole life. Of course it’s an ongoing journey but It’s so fascinating how these philosophies apply to real life so well
“A will to destruct, isn’t that just love?… when you’re no fun” This small sentence is something I’ve had in my head for so long so often, because I’m suffering
The United States uses military resources meant to keep us safe to spy on, torture, groom, and harass victims of pedophilic abuse. Victims are groomed and forcibly shown deviant sexual content at ages as young as 6 years old. They hack the household devices, including hijacking the television while a child is up and alone. They are forcibly shown deviant content involving animals or disgusting acts that would be illegal for an adult. They target victims this young because this is the age that fetishes are developed and children this young are not capable of understanding what they are seeing is not normal. They are intentionally grooming defenseless children into deviant sexualities. This is also a way to shame victims into silence, they think the more deviant and depraved they are with children, they will be less likely to speak out about what happened to them out of shame. In person they will encourage children below puberty to engage in deviant sexual acts and try to convince them this is normal behavior. Both children and adults are molested and raped through the use of substances that render them unconscious and the only reason a victim might know that something has occurred is because they leave body fluids in or around the victim. When the victims get older there is use of an advanced AI that alters content that they see by inserting references and imagery that would seem normal to other people but has special meaning to the torture victim. This will be repeated again and again indefinitely. This is both for the purposes of psychological torture and to provoke violence Some people are being intentionally tortured throughout their entire lives, they may target them because they think they are easy prey or maybe they were just attracted to that particular child. They use innocuous symbols because there is plausible deniability . A victim that was deviantly groomed by pedophiles is repeatedly shown something related to their exploitation. Like a rapist that rapes a woman with a common object for the purposes of torture. They want the victim to relive the trauma as much as possible. The use of weaponized AI would manipulate algorithms to show them what the torturers wanted them to see. The AI would do the grunt work of content modification and categorization.
Ive been a practicing buddhist for 8 months now and I will say that the idea that small traumas still affect us is very true. I think that with enough time and curiosity for the connectedness of your actions you'll come to see this as true too. This video does a very good job explaining the teachings of the buddha and some of the more misunderstood aspects of the teachings. Id love to see a video comparing the likeness of the buddhas story to Marcus Arreelius (idk how to spell his name), and how their teachings converge and where they differ.
All of your comments and inputs inspired me to make one of my own. First off Sisyphus55, thankyou for both creating and sharing your work in a place where people are… sort of free to share there ideals. I love the animation and listening to how you present your ideas has literally made me think better in life. It’s as if I’ve been making 3-D connections between depression, heartbreak, loss, suffering, escapism, will power and overthinking. I’ve been watching nearly every video you’ve made since I fell into a depressive episode last spring. Though I am seeing results I still am fleeing from work, but after all this time the obstacle finally doesn’t look that bad. Thankyou and I wish you well for all you’ve done for me.
it's funny seeing this video when about an hour ago, as i was bathing i started pondering out loud about the value and necessity of suffering within our lives and whether it is truly necessary.
A great exploration of the 4 Noble Truths in Buddhism. Another interesting piece in Buddhism is the 3 characteristics, which highlights certain truths we have trouble accepting and perpetuate our suffering. The first is suffering, as you've explore here, the other two are impermanence and no-self. Impermanence is just the acceptance that nothing lasts, and we spend so much of our time and energy trying to create a sense of permanence or significance, and when we can really accept impermanence we find ourselves so much more free. And no-self points to our true nature, that there isn't anything fixed or consistent about who or what we are, that we exist only in relationship to experience, and when you really inquire into your nature you find a bunch of ideas, but the only consistent thing is awareness itself.

Suffering will always be there. It doesn't go away. But that doesn't mean we're not allowed to be happy and find meaning in our lives. Because it's those meanings we hold onto that we find ourselves surpassing, overcoming, and persevering through those hardships. It's what we make life a meaning out of that we find living alongside suffering as worth it. Because no joy comes with no pain. How will we be able to experience lives in its happiest and proudest moments when we don't struggle for it as well?
I disagree that suffering will always be there, I believe easily, readily that you can find lasting peace. Your joy and attachments will always bring pain, yes. IMO you should not struggle to find happiness, that is a bad goal, these happiest and proudest moments. What do they do for you? You might say they feel good but they obviously bring pain. It's food that makes you hungrier. You will always suffer when you chase enjoyments. I say: cease the mental modifications, find blissful absorption, let go
@ThaKKatt as much as i want to agree, i think suffering is as baked into the human experience as food or water. we experience all kinds of loss, pain, and ultimately the terror of death in our lives, which no one is exempt from, but the moments of peace - and the practice of making peace with suffering, moving through pain by the path of least resistance, choosing the patches of sunlight between the shadows - make the intrinsic cruelty of the world worthwhile. at least, that's how it looks for me. your view is beautiful, though, and i could use some of that energy in my life.
@@geisterbilder So we endure just to have small amounts of respite? I'm sorry, but to me that seems like someone a torture would do. Like how a warden starves his inmates, and gives them just enough food to not croak. But the thing that makes those two scenarios different is that some are destined for more than mere moresels while some don't even receive the morsels.
Lol I was having a nice father-and-son time with my dad at a café and basically everyone kept apart from us kept clapping and shouting things like "Yeees" or "let's gooo!" when Australia scored (i'm Australian). kinda ruined the experience a bit but it was funny.
Countries that are known to have high rates of violence towards women and human traficking have the highest rate of births like countries in Africa. But all countries including USA give both of these crimes a green light for number of reasons, it is easier to govern people who are consumed by poverty and physical abuse, kids from broken families are easy targets of pervs, pervs are in governments and among celebrities. Politicians and celebrities are untouchables and they need the prey. So much filth came to the light about the elites and still no riots, no one goes French Revolution against those in power so this vicious circle will continue.
your timing is so scary at times lol. been struggling in life for a while after i lost my job and people who I taught were my friends while dealing with old traumas

Hopefully understanding the brain and understanding the neurology of some of these problems will one day help us out of these paradoxical words of wisdom but until then all we have are these pretty stories.

Regarding the last video: It's painful to deal with our past and at times we might have to deal with it our whole lives, but if we stay at the middle point where we're always confronting it, we will never actually accept what has happened to it and learn from it. Just like the victim of a burglary is very likely not going to cry for the rest of their life over the 50€ that were stolen from them, we cannot stay lamenting about what has happened to us forever because we'll end up being an eternal victim, never taking control of our emotions and accepting what has happened to us.

When suffering comes knocking at your door, let it in, sit with it, tend to it and be a good host. Don’t try to chase it away or run away from it, it would catch hold of you one way or another. Make friends with it and you won’t be taken aback when it visits you next :)

Dude fr. That hit me like a truck
The united states military is using technology and manpower to protect deviant sadistic Child SAers that are misusing their access to advanced tools to spy on, harass, and forcibly SA children.This sometimes follows them into adulthood. Children that are still too young to know that what they are seeing is not normal are being exposed to disgusting deviant content that is forcibly shown to them by hacking their devices. Many victims may not even know they have been targeted by this, because the majority of the actual SA happens when they are slipped something that incapacitates them or they are asleep, the only reason they might know is because the perpetrator may leave behind physical evidence, like bruises, scratches, or bodily fluids. If a victim discovers what has happened to them these worms will misuse equipment and manpower to stalk, shame, mock, and generally try to make the lives of the people affected by this as hellish as possible both offline and online. They follow victims in person and try to intimidate or harass them. They generally use different people who act as though they aren't affiliated with each other and don't do anything they can be arrested for at the time of the harassment. They think they can shame and mock victims into silence because some of what happens is coerced. These are depraved cowards that gather in groups to harass solitary women and children just to protect deviant SAers
No, we do not already belong.
it's amazing how you always push some button that makes me feel fond of life but also sad. Your videos take me back to the feeling I got when I first questioned the point of me living. Much appreciation to you
There is the Japanese term that summarizes that feeling exactly - Mono no aware. Throw that into wikipedia for a more in-depth reading on the concept.

5:23 my philosophy is that, life can be always more painful in all manners of ways and you gotta make peace with the pain you already feel and be grateful it's not worse.
Although true comparative suffering is pitiful and a huge waste.
I used to find the Buddha's teaching that life is suffering weird and pessimistic. But as I grow older... Well I think the Buddha is just being realistic haha. What I love about Buddhism is that the Buddha doesn't just stop at "Life is Suffering". But he taught us how to navigate ourselves through life too. The more I learn about Buddhism, the more I understand why and how. But yeah mostly it revolves around being aware and mindful of our own thoughts and consciousness. Great video once again Sisyphus
It is a common misconception to assume Buddhism implies suffering is essence which is not what he's saying. "There is suffering" is more accurate, as in suffering in itself does not exist, but perception of such does. Just as someone has a terrible life, and another a beautiful and healthy one, the qualia of suffering by degree could be entirely inverted based on the constitutions of the individual. Thus suffering is not the same, or definable as an essential part of reality, but a subjective experience like love.
👏👏👏@@Galvvy
@@Galvvy yes! And I recently discovered a line from Visuddhimagga that does "There is suffering, but no one suffers". I think it mainly revolves around the teaching of Sunyata. And I thought that is amazing
The idea made me stop feeling sorry for myself because my life doesn't look like the perfect instagram influencer. Everybody is going through shit.
The way I had it explained to me was that the concept usually translated as "suffering" is more analogous to a profound dissatisfaction than it is to mere pain. One can feel pleasure and still be suffering on an inherent level- that is, to understand on some level that said pleasure is ultimately worthless in a world that withers and dies. The corollary, of course, is that pain is equally meaningless, so you may as well just accept the transience of existence. That's why "attachment” (upadana) is such a core concept, because all of our sorrows can be expressed as either clinging to pain (usually unintentionally) or clinging to pleasure (whose inevitable absence leads to pain). It also explains why people can still feel deep sadness despite material comfort, much like the Buddha himself did when he saw the suffering of the masses the first time he left the sheltered existence afforded to him by his wealth. It’s staggering to see how much of what would later become ”optimistic nihilism" was pioneered by Buddhist thought thousands of years earlier.
We cannot control the random nature of our experience, but what we can control is how we react to it.

no one cares
Thank you, Sisyphus, for this deeper dive into buddhism. I think you’ve articulated the constant nature of pain and the importance of grappling with it to continue one’s development very well. I think this video has the potential to be very touching for some, like how many of your other videos have been so touching for me.
If this video makes sense to you, you in the comments reading this, and you believe that your mind can become a comfortable, loving home, I implore you to take up a meditation practice. It will feel like nothing is happening, but with time (I started noticing genuine change in my behavior for the better within a month), active exploration of your inner landscape and a continuous, ever-unending acceptance of pain, suffering is avoidable and equanimity is inevitable. If you believe in putting in the work for yourself, for your mind, body and spirit and you want a more highly attuned existence, meditate.
On a semantic note, I believe it is more productive to relate to the sentiment “Pain is inevitable, suffering is not” or for short “Life is Pain”. The key difference between pain and suffering being that pain is the pure experience of hurt, the signal from your body/mind that something is negatively effecting oneself whereas suffering is simply one’s reaction to pain which then results in hardship. One can recognize pain and not suffer.
Thank you again for your videos, Sisyphus. I relate to all of them so deeply 🙏
To live is to suffer,to survive is to find the meaning in the sufferings.
my best guy at work, he is barely finishing high school. but he has the magical combination of having overcome tough things, a general disregard for authority, and a commitment to making himself happy. he's a perfect human.

wow, books curing mental illness! nice joke, terrible advive which can lead to someone's condition may become only worse or even lead to the su!cide of that person

Suffering, although we do not wish it upon ourselves, does make us better people, and helps us grow and mature. Have you ever spoken to a person who’s been through a lot and how they are and how they speak, vs talking to someone who hasn’t suffered much and is still naive? It becomes very obvious.
Watching this in the lobby of the hospital after my girlfriend passed out from vomiting a lot of blood. Its been a long night and this helped a lot.
Life is full of suffering;
How you rationalize this decides your state of mind.
The immature response is to feel sorry for yourself;
Or you can accept any feeling (positive or negative) as a blessing:
The probability that you get to be alive + experience an emotion is zero.
The childlike response to hardship:
Choosing to feel sorry for yourself, practicing regret, assuming a depressive state.
The enlightened mindset:
Choosing to appreciate the hardship, acknowledge it as a blessing, and understand the sheer impossibility it is you get to experience life to begin with.
Advice: write a journal and pause every few secs, thrown in helpful quotes from this, and you might notice like I did, that you begin filling in the blanks, you relate more, by making this all sit longer too, this video was 40min for me- and who I come out of it as is much more mentally stable than who went in today.
You won’t remember everything you hear in this video, more than likely - but this I feel really makes a difference, it kind of goes down like.. Dysfunctional thought about self, followed by Sys’s advice and quotation, followed by your own questioning of your ability, personally to achieve what he’s saying, and so on, until you meet at a point - one where you can say, okay here is a stable answer / direction to take from this video and apply in whatever way, against those thoughts.
This sounds a lot like taking credit or way of forcing relation, or whatever- this obviously won’t work for anyone, if I try to find holes in what I just said, I will- I am way too imperfect to really say the word “advice” anymore..
However, it did seem to help me a bit to do that.
After days years, months and Day's hours. And minutes today I couldn't take it anymore and I started to cry and I was in extreme pain . I'm dealing with a lot of health issues spacaily a sexual disorder. I was searching ways on the internet to get rid of it and finally I realized that I'm not the only one. Afterwards I did research on the other health problems I have and I found out people suffer with it for there entire life. I just realized something. You can't get rid of suffering. The world is really burning. Each single minute millions of people are suffering. I just felt a sense of calmness and I suddenly understood that the need to recover from my illness are just not that worthy. Because there's no meaning. The whole world is burning. And I just have to give up and accept it . I atchuly feel much calmer now and I don't care about anything. Because I realized that this suffering can not be avoided. So I just live and actually I don't have big dreams. I won't chase any desire anymore. I just realized that it's not worthy. I don't feel a need to go behind desire anymore it feels so calm.to let go of everything 😌
Hey, i read your comment, and it kinda reminded me of myself, as someone who has been suffering from chronic pain and insomnia for years trust me, I understand, and i am not gonna try to give you that optimistic talk to find joy and ilumination in the suffering , only people who havent experienced real suffering go through that , but you shouldn't give up on yourself, your hopes and your desires, than you wouldn't just be suffering but you would be suffering on vain, dont let the world win, you dont know how many time ive been in crucifing pain takling to myself, telling the life, the universe whatever all this mess is that it has won , but as long as i am alive i cant except that, and you shouldn't either, just beacuse there are other people suffering like us dont make it right, most propaly we might never get better and shouldn't get our hopes up but yet we should stop trying , we are gonna suffer anyway wether in rebelion or exeptence.
Suffering is a part of this world, and it is designed for that .. Objecting to it is useless because it does not change anything..But knowing the reason makes a big difference and this is what we have seen in one of the places in our world, Palestine, where in the midst of suffering people lose their families, friends and homes, and yet they are receptive and better off than others who may object for trivial reasons and suffer much less. Be optimistic, look at the positive side of it .

Life is suffering, that's exactly what makes it worth experiencing. To bitch and moan about the inevitabilities of life like pain, suffering, and death is a wholly pointless endeavor to justify one's own inadequacies and weakness.
the only right Course of action after realizing said inevitabilities is to learn to accept it and even enjoy it. pain is pleasure, suffering is joy to those who are open minded enough to accept this truth.

I do not agree that we simply must accept our pains. We are agents, not simple subjects.
Yes, we are here to go against suffering. Some people did great job towards it, some doctors, scientists, inventors for example. But then things went south. Doctors worldwide spread more suffering than help. Scientist do nothing just to take grants. Inventors focus on weapon, narcotics. Those who claim suffering is required they work for evil people and they do great job for them cause so much filth came to the light about the elites and nothing, we all just comply, ignore and whenever they're hunting some people just like animals get happy that it's not their turn this time, until it is and then the stupid question - why me? - occurs.

The United States uses military resources meant to keep us safe to spy on, torture, groom, and harass victims of pedophilic abuse.
Victims are groomed and forcibly shown deviant sexual content at ages as young as 6 years old. They hack the household devices, including hijacking the television while a child is up and alone. They are forcibly shown deviant content involving animals or disgusting acts that would be illegal for an adult. They target victims this young because this is the age that fetishes are developed and children this young are not capable of understanding what they are seeing is not normal. They are intentionally grooming defenseless children into deviant sexualities. This is also a way to shame victims into silence, they think the more deviant and depraved they are with children, they will be less likely to speak out about what happened to them out of shame.
In person they will encourage children below puberty to engage in deviant sexual acts and try to convince them this is normal behavior. Both children and adults are molested and raped through the use of substances that render them unconscious and the only reason a victim might know that something has occurred is because they leave body fluids in or around the victim.
When the victims get older there is use of an advanced AI that alters content that they see by inserting references and imagery that would seem normal to other people but has special meaning to the torture victim. This will be repeated again and again indefinitely.
This is both for the purposes of psychological torture and to provoke violence
Some people are being intentionally tortured throughout their entire lives, they may target them because they think they are easy prey or maybe they were just attracted to that particular child.
They use innocuous symbols because there is plausible deniability . A victim that was deviantly groomed by pedophiles is repeatedly shown something related to their exploitation. Like a rapist that rapes a woman with a common object for the purposes of torture. They want the victim to relive the trauma as much as possible. The use of weaponized AI would manipulate algorithms to show them what the torturers wanted them to see. The AI would do the grunt work of content modification and categorization.
We are more kind to one another. We feel empathy for one another in suffering.
This is beautiful and I feel like more people should hear this
I keep in mind...that craving, desires, attachment....as Budda said " are the causes of suffering". True. They were the causes of my ego suffering
Ive been a practicing buddhist for 8 months now and I will say that the idea that small traumas still affect us is very true. I think that with enough time and curiosity for the connectedness of your actions you'll come to see this as true too. This video does a very good job explaining the teachings of the buddha and some of the more misunderstood aspects of the teachings. Id love to see a video comparing the likeness of the buddhas story to Marcus Arreelius (idk how to spell his name), and how their teachings converge and where they differ.

Life is suffering. We live it for happiness.
it's funny seeing this video when about an hour ago, as i was bathing i started pondering out loud about the value and necessity of suffering within our lives and whether it is truly necessary.
A great exploration of the 4 Noble Truths in Buddhism. Another interesting piece in Buddhism is the 3 characteristics, which highlights certain truths we have trouble accepting and perpetuate our suffering. The first is suffering, as you've explore here, the other two are impermanence and no-self. Impermanence is just the acceptance that nothing lasts, and we spend so much of our time and energy trying to create a sense of permanence or significance, and when we can really accept impermanence we find ourselves so much more free. And no-self points to our true nature, that there isn't anything fixed or consistent about who or what we are, that we exist only in relationship to experience, and when you really inquire into your nature you find a bunch of ideas, but the only consistent thing is awareness itself.

I don't love myself very much, but I do care enough that I wouldn't want to subject my posterity to this endless suffering.
Suffering will always be there. It doesn't go away. But that doesn't mean we're not allowed to be happy and find meaning in our lives. Because it's those meanings we hold onto that we find ourselves surpassing, overcoming, and persevering through those hardships.
It's what we make life a meaning out of that we find living alongside suffering as worth it. Because no joy comes with no pain. How will we be able to experience lives in its happiest and proudest moments when we don't struggle for it as well?
I disagree that suffering will always be there, I believe easily, readily that you can find lasting peace. Your joy and attachments will always bring pain, yes. IMO you should not struggle to find happiness, that is a bad goal, these happiest and proudest moments. What do they do for you? You might say they feel good but they obviously bring pain. It's food that makes you hungrier. You will always suffer when you chase enjoyments. I say: cease the mental modifications, find blissful absorption, let go
@ThaKKatt as much as i want to agree, i think suffering is as baked into the human experience as food or water. we experience all kinds of loss, pain, and ultimately the terror of death in our lives, which no one is exempt from, but the moments of peace - and the practice of making peace with suffering, moving through pain by the path of least resistance, choosing the patches of sunlight between the shadows - make the intrinsic cruelty of the world worthwhile. at least, that's how it looks for me.
your view is beautiful, though, and i could use some of that energy in my life.
@@geisterbilder So we endure just to have small amounts of respite? I'm sorry, but to me that seems like someone a torture would do. Like how a warden starves his inmates, and gives them just enough food to not croak. But the thing that makes those two scenarios different is that some are destined for more than mere moresels while some don't even receive the morsels.
😂
how I feel watching the matildas game right now
Lol I was having a nice father-and-son time with my dad at a café and basically everyone kept apart from us kept clapping and shouting things like "Yeees" or "let's gooo!" when Australia scored (i'm Australian). kinda ruined the experience a bit but it was funny.
soo much pain but still people want babies,, and let that baby suffer again.. WTF is this STUPIDITY
Its selfishness, they don't want to suffer alone, what a bunch of animals, we all are
Countries that are known to have high rates of violence towards women and human traficking have the highest rate of births like countries in Africa. But all countries including USA give both of these crimes a green light for number of reasons, it is easier to govern people who are consumed by poverty and physical abuse, kids from broken families are easy targets of pervs, pervs are in governments and among celebrities. Politicians and celebrities are untouchables and they need the prey. So much filth came to the light about the elites and still no riots, no one goes French Revolution against those in power so this vicious circle will continue.
your timing is so scary at times lol. been struggling in life for a while after i lost my job and people who I taught were my friends while dealing with old traumas
10:42 this is the injustice that I cannot accept: that our "sufferings are varying in magnitude and form."
Animation, as per usual, was charming and augmented the experience of your essay ❤
The United States uses military resources meant to keep us safe to spy on, torture, groom, and harass victims of pedophilic abuse.
Victims are groomed and forcibly shown deviant sexual content at ages as young as 6 years old. They hack the household devices, including hijacking the television while a child is up and alone. They are forcibly shown deviant content involving animals or disgusting acts that would be illegal for an adult. They target victims this young because this is the age that fetishes are developed and children this young are not capable of understanding what they are seeing is not normal. They are intentionally grooming defenseless children into deviant sexualities. This is also a way to shame victims into silence, they think the more deviant and depraved they are with children, they will be less likely to speak out about what happened to them out of shame.
In person they will encourage children below puberty to engage in deviant sexual acts and try to convince them this is normal behavior. Both children and adults are molested and raped through the use of substances that render them unconscious and the only reason a victim might know that something has occurred is because they leave body fluids in or around the victim.
When the victims get older there is use of an advanced AI that alters content that they see by inserting references and imagery that would seem normal to other people but has special meaning to the torture victim. This will be repeated again and again indefinitely.
This is both for the purposes of psychological torture and to provoke violence
Some people are being intentionally tortured throughout their entire lives, they may target them because they think they are easy prey or maybe they were just attracted to that particular child.
They use innocuous symbols because there is plausible deniability . A victim that was deviantly groomed by pedophiles is repeatedly shown something related to their exploitation. Like a rapist that rapes a woman with a common object for the purposes of torture. They want the victim to relive the trauma as much as possible. The use of weaponized AI would manipulate algorithms to show them what the torturers wanted them to see. The AI would do the grunt work of content modification and categorization.
This helped me understand myself and my behaviors. Thank you so much!
It’s been difficult, thank you for this.
Life is suffering but i'm into that
This makes me feel a sense of hope I have not had in quite a while. I think I can see a way out now.
Hope you’re doing well man
Been going troughout a lot lately and this video just makes everything a little bit easier, thank you for this
"trauma is just change that happens really really fast" -a friend
Good quote

Thank you. I am dealing with an unimaginable about of grief and loss right now and I don’t know how to handle it all

I can't watch those videos anymore because I almost cry to everyone of them.
I love you Sisyphus you always give me a new perspective and rewatching your videos is always a helpful reminder for me.
Satan Loves to Make You Suffer, then when you Question Why ? He tells you it's a Test as he continues laughing to himself because you keep saying thank you.
Wake Up !
One must imagine Sisyphus 55 happy
