I love the quote "old men who plant trees for shade that they know they will never sit under." There is no better meaning to life than making it a better one for you and the people around you.
It can also be used literally or metaphorically, your son will always remember the tree ypu guys planted together. And he'll think of you everytime his son is climbing that tree
Well you almost got it. It's more so speaking of us(as men) working hard so that our sons life can be better than ours. We plant the trees knowing we will never sit under the shade. Hard times makes strong men. Strong men makes good times. Good times makes weak men. And Weak men make hard times.
After failing at three suicide attempts, I realized I didn’t really want to die. I just didn’t know how to live a life I really loved. Been working on that ever since!
"I just didn't know how to live a life I really loved." That is an awesome sentence. I will quote this in future conversations. I am in my second depression. Suicide was never an option for me, but it crushes me that I no longer know how to live a life I used to love. Thank you. I bless you in my heart.
What a great quote. Goes along with something my ex said once- "If you're feeling bad about yourself and your life, find a way to help someone. Anyone. It will lift their spirit and yours as well" That advice has literally saved my life more than once.
It’s great that you can still think fondly of the things that your ex did before your breakup. I hope you make many people very happy and help many people. Maybe even find happiness for yourself.
Chris P: That's exactly what she meant in short... 👍😊 Happiness is a great thing! It does not matter if it is yours or others... If people followed what she and you mentioned, they'd truly understand this statement... All's well that ends well... One little act can turn over many lives in return... The example of the tree means that. It helps shade humans, earth with soil, rain and so on. One kind act is all we see, but the outcome and consequences can be a lot in the world.
Ricky and Steve have been responsible for some of the funniest and most poignant moments that I've seen on the telly. His "Big Brother" rant on "Extras" and the Christmas Party episode of The Office spring to mind. What a legacy to leave behind eh? 🤣
@@paulelroy6650 YOU may not like it and fair enough. I get that the stuff with Steven and Karl was way edgier and cutting, completely unsentimental. But Afterlife is PHENOMENALLY popular.

But that very few count as well, you're just in the minority.
@@lanecrescent4161 the most watched thing on netflix means bugger all.

@@paulelroy6650 Yea, I see your point. I love it but then I love everything he's done. I think The Office and Derek are my favorites tho'. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE Ricky, Stephen and Karl to get together again. That cartoon show of the podcasts they had - remember that? - was fucken funny as fuck 😁 Good ol' days.
I just started season 3, only a couple of episodes in but I still love it. The humour is dark, touching moments but funny, plus everything you said as well. Brilliant 👏🏾

The best way to pull yourself out of your ‘depression’ is to do something for someone else. Kindness, breeds kindness. It’ll turn full circle. ‘Good people do things for other people. That’s it. The end.’ 🌹❤️
I've relapsed multiple times, but this time is different. I feel disgusted just thinking of how I was tied down to taking 40-50 pills a day just to not feel the withdrawals from hell( this drug withdrawals has literally been described as a demon trying to escape your body - tianeptine). So now I know I'm gonna be clean forever . The only problem is I can tell my huge drug use has caused a variety of mental problems, I feel crazy at times just with mental frustration, hard to explain .
My perception of people and time was tweaked when, as a young employee, working for the city. In an interdepartmental meeting the head of the trees department was complimented about what a nice canopy the trees would make for this already beautiful boulevard . He responded he would not be around to see it. He was an irascible guy and I could never tell if he was being cynical or wistful about his work.
A young man I grew up with passed away a few years ago. His name was Brent. His neighbor (we'll call him Tom) went to Brent's funeral, very torn up over his death at only 18. He told Brent's brother Nick that Brent had driven by Tom's house one day and seen him sitting in his truck at the end of his driveway - this was in rural WV. Brent turned around and went back, sat there talking to Tim for almost an hour, then went on his way. Tom said Brent saved his life that day. Tom was leaving his house with a pistol in his glove compartment....he was going to go out in the field and kill himself. After Brent stopped and talked to him, he started feeling better and decided against suicide. You never know what impact your actions are going to have on someone.
Everyone has a purpose in your life and you have a purpose in someone else's life so if you or anyone else is trying to harm themselves remember God has a plan for you . God and Jesus loves you so much . God sees yesterday he sees today and he sees your future. We only see the now. Remember now is not forever tomorrow is a new day and the future holds all types of wonderful things for you. Don't miss out on it. God bless put peace in your heart in mind always
@@cindyhand5020how I wish what you said could be true for me, I'm very very tired, been doing my very very best but it's always not enough and I'm always a failure to those close to me. Been faking a smile for so long I dunno how to have a genuine smile. Back in 2014 I attempted, but even in that moment my fate of failure prevails the bullet was a dud lol.

Amen! The world tells us that the point of life is to make ourselves happy, but what they miss is that lasting happiness comes from serving others. Selfishness brings fleeting happiness, but generosity produces joy that isn’t reliant on our circumstances
I hope you’ll be able to take that strenght that is holding you back from taking your life and using it to make it better! Im sure you can do that and you will, sending you a lot of love brother, i’ll think about u ❤️
Hey my friend. Rarely I do this getting a moment to moment to random people that I dont know.. But..... Here we go.. I had that thought a bit ago, about taking my gun and off myself, but the thoughts of my kidsz ,wife, mom and dad and even the way to my coworkers, that I didnt do it. Cause how many people would that affect and how many people would I let down . now or even later. Who out of everyone would say must have been cause of me? And I realized I would not want that toll on anyone. Im sick of hell on earth as well but guess what. Deal with it and get stronger or better from it. I dont know you but hope from my heart your ok.
This man in a genius. Thank you very much for showing even when life seems hopeless theres always a little light in the dark and a little dark in the light. Pure joy to watch. Thank you for this and everything else you’ve done.
I have this corny line I’ve used for the last 25 years ( I’m 43 yrs young) I use it daily many times & it’s worked more than 99%. When I see people Engrossed in thought , I point to the ground and say “ uh oh , I think you may have dropped your smile”! They usually (99% ) smile , laugh and say thank you . I’ve had a lot of them explain that they needed that. That’s my ( although corny) way of giving back. I see it as planting a seed that hopefully will grow into a great tree and someday give fruit. Maybe even save a life!
After five years in the Army, I felt exactly the same way. It sounds strange, but I took great comfort thinking that suicide was an option. It was one of the only things I had control of in my life. I haven't felt that way for many, many years, though. It may sound glib or trite, but one thing that kept me hanging on was the thought that the result of suicide was permanent, and if there was even the smallest chance that life could get better, I must stay alive. I didn't want to regret for eternity ending my life prematurely.
@@Molderon Wow. I pray for you and your brother. It breaks my heart. I'm sorry. Don't let your heart get cold. I'm sure you would help him if you could. There are tons of people like him out there that need hope and plenty of people out there missing a loved one. Again, sorry. Life is tough.
@@Molderon "Fatigue makes cowards of us all." As a suicide survivor, and now properly treated and no longer suicidal because of that treatment, I understand your point of view, but think it will ultimately be unhelpful for your own growth and processing of grief. Also, severe depression often has genetic and developmental links, so as a relative of a suicidal depressive, it may behoove you to learn about signs, symptoms, and coping mechanics. No one can be a better monitor of one's mental health that oneself (as long as one is largely attached to reality, of course).
There was (another) awful experiment done using rats. They would put rats into a deep bucket of water until they started to drown to see how long they'd fight (swim) to survive. On average they last about 5-10 minutes each before giving up and accepting they're death, but before they would drown they would pull the rats out and let them rest, and then repeat the experiment. What they found was that when the rats believed they where going to (eventually) be saved from drowning, instead of only lasting about 5-10 min, they would continue to fight (swim) for over 15 minutes to survive solely on the belief that they will eventually be saved. It's an odd comparison I know, but the part of your comment "if there was even the smallest chance that life could get better..." made me think of that experiment.
Glad you're still going. Keep going! Please don't consider it an option if possible. If you're doing alright then keep doing what you're doing ig, but please if possible keep your focus on the chance of a better life maybe. Regardless, also consider speaking to someone like a therapist as it's become very commonplace and it could help, if you feel lile that's something for you. Regardless, Keep going, you got this!
This is "the thing" I've lost sight of after so many years of political insanity; watching the astonishing levels of self-service, greed, and complete moral bankruptcy in our government. I forgot that there are still good people in the world and as long as at least one of them survives, the world still has a fighting chance. Hitler was finally stopped. Hopefully the evil, destructive, forces will be overcome by "happiness and good people who do things for other people. " God knows we need good people, in action, right now.
I stopped caring about things that were out of control, like politics (aside from voting… which I don’t do anyways). Look at the people around you that you actually interact with. Are there good people? Focus your time on those people, let go of all those things you worry about that you cannot change, and start focusing on those around you that matter.
@@epicipodmodzpolitics may be out of your control, but it affects every aspect of your life and those around you, so not caring about it is showing that deep down, you don't care about your people
@@Umbzard thats quite the jump youve made. Lets say I live in California and I want to vote republican... I go to vote for a republican candidate. My vote is worthless because california is not a swing state, why would I vote? Virtue signaling? So I can "show I care about my people"? It all seems like a way for people to feel proud that they went and "did something" for America.
@@epicipodmodz so you won't vote with your beliefs because your beliefs aren't the majority in your area? So you just conform to whatever the majority of your peers do? Sounds like someone is the perfect example of a sheep.
This man, in my very humble opinion, is a fucking God! Is there anything he can’t make beautiful? We know it’s Ricky but he’s soo good we get roped in! What a fantastic human 🥰
My best friend died 12 years ago. 11 years ago her dad and I wrote a book in her memory, celebrating her life and legacy. Her dad said when we look back, we’ll see that we did the right thing.
"A society grows great, when old men plant tree's the shade of which they know they will never sit in". Fantastic quote, and one which makes me think of the men who built the great Cathedrals of Europa. Plus the great temples of Asia.
I have only been watching comedy since the Pandemic hit as to keep me from sinking, but this clip has convinced me to go ahead and watch this show. I love Ricky and all that he has added to our minds.
Most miraculous truth I've heard... Seeing my son happy makes me tear up sometimes.... I'm just soooo happy 😊 that he's happy 😊 Thank you GOD..... Take care everyone ❤ 💕
This was such a wonderful series with Season 3 being released Jan 14, 2022! Definitely worth the watch. Episodes are 25 mins so easy to watch in a weekend. You’ll laugh and cry and enjoy every minute!
I’m 31, single, been depressed a lot of the time and not found a career that matches what I majored in but last year my sister died. And this year I decided I’m tired of wallowing bc I can’t find something to be super excited about. I’ll just help others be happy for now, so I just got hired at a daycare and started the application to become a foster parent. There’s always something good we can do even if it doesn’t feel perfect.
She was soo good in this as they all were and it was soo well written!. This series helped me soo much after my dear Dad passed. I wasn't suicidal, it was just the way it made you look at loss and it helped. Thankyou Ricky!. Brill, Nuff said.
Anne is my fav person in this serie she had such good words for Tony and us as well she had such a powerfull impact on Tony and helped him to make life a little bit better and that was enough to help other and feeling content😢❤
If you’re reading this, remember, the world is a better place because you’re in it ❤️ your presence is a gift and even if you’ve been the reason for someone to smile, you are appreciated ❤️
I've never heard of this quote before but I listened to it 4 times in a row it's a beautiful way of putting things into reality I will remember this quote forever and maybe I might get to use it sometime ❤
Looked at by others as a good person and actually being a good person are two different things that’s why good people are never actually heard of. Looked at by others as a good person are seen all day long on social media.
I think it's more like "good people don't do things that hinder others." I don't think you need to go out of your way to do good to be a good person. Because not everyone has the emotions or finances to spare for that. As long as you're mindful of your impact on others and don't do anything negative, you're a good person imo.
Someone can do good things without money or large amounts of time. When someone makes the effort to do something good, even when they don't have to, that's what makes it extraordinary. I think what you just described is the basics of not being a bad person. And sure, if someone is not a bad person, one could say they are a good person. But indifference can be a slippery slope. There have been awful events in history that could have been avoided or at least lessened if good people had not been indifferent. There's a quote that I can't recall exactly, but it's something like "all that is required for evil to succeed is the inaction of good men". Simply not doing bad things does not, by default, mean someone is doing good things. Even if it requires going out of our way, we should do good things for others.
There is always some way to show kindness. If you don't have money, you have time. A word or a hug or a helping hand has no cost. Even if it's intimidating or otherwise less than pleasant, the fact that you stepped up and did a thing out of kindness helps the giver grow and the receiver to help the giver.
TheLORD JESUS CHRIST died for all our sins and we hate HIM. Which one is true loves the one that plant trees or the person who died for everyone? If I plant tree, I don’t think about others I think about it beauty, fruits, flowers.
“A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in” Feel free to screenshot 👍🏼 I wanted this for myself
Happiness is so amazing! It doesn’t matter if it’s yours or not. Thank you Lord for showing me this today. Feeling happy for others happiness. A world of wisdom in a few simple words . ❤️❤️❤️
2000 years ago, a lonely figure, brutally tortured to within an inch of death so totally he didn't even look like a human being anymore, was nailed to a cross and left to suffocate to death for crimes committed by everyone but Himself. The repercussions of that day have shaped the world in ways we cannot begin to fathom. If we keep His commandments, He unlocks a world we could never find on our own, and the peace and joy that comes through Him remains forever. It is a gift. You cannot earn it, it cannot be bought.
From what I know of Ricky Gervais he is more “Christian” than almost every Christian I have ever known or heard of. Proves you can be an atheist and just question things because you have a human brain without being drowned in ideology. We don’t need religion to scare people. We need more people like Ricky Gervais.
Kind of reminds me of the saying "those who plant a date seed will not taste its fruit" can't remember if that was how it was said. But it takes about 80 years for a date tree to bear fruit

There's an old saying , " the best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The SECOND best time is TODAY!" If you are depressed and in that dark, dark place where nothing seems to matter... where you feel your life is wasted... gather yourself up and go do something for someone else. Do something, no matter how small, for a stranger or for the cashier at your favorite store or just SOMEONE... anyone ! When you do , look into their eyes and see how powerful you are. We are all alike. We all want to be thought of and loved. You are valuable... you matter. Treat yourself like someone you care about! Imagine the world if each and every one of us would only love ourselves and be good to others! Be well everyone!
To be, or not to be. that is the question. Tis is nobler in the mind to suffer the slings of arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take up arms against a sea of troubles and to oppose, end them. To die, to sleep, and by sleep we mean to say to end the thousand natural shocks of heart ache the body is heir to. Tis a consumation truly to be wished. To sleep, nay, to dream? And there is the rub. What lies in that sleep of death what dreams may come when we shuffle off this mortal coil must give us pause, and the respect to the calamity of a life long lived.
Happiness...your's or another's It is that lovely thing.... Great statement, but when she finishes the rest of quote = it becomes full with important sentiment that everyone should hear & remember. It is beautiful! BY FAR my FAVORiTE bit with Ricky Gervais.
Just watched this randomly again after months of seeing it for the first time. This scene sums up both parts of my brain over the past 10years. However her last part really hit home today for some reason.... I just hope i can be that one day. I hope you all, who are reading this can be that.
From 14 years old I have battled thoughts of suicide. I have attempted on multiple occasions and failed each time. I became a mum at 20 and still fought those thoughts but I had an anchor ⚓️ now. No matter how much I wanted to leave, I just couldn't do that to my little boy. I thought about it often... and then not as often.. I am 32 now. I have 3 beautiful children, I am engaged to be married, I have a lot of reasons to stay. The thoughts are few and far between but when they come they hit like waves. Its maybe been a year or so now since I last thought that way. It is a lifetime battle but I am prepared to continue fighting. I have and always will try to be a good person and leave everywhere I go, better than I found it. If you are fighting those thoughts right now, please know there are thousands of outcomes for your life but none of them exist if you are not here. Keep fighting, keep loving and that love will find its way back to you threefold ❤🙏🏽☯️ P.s You are enough. I love you friend

I hope you’ll be able to take that strenght that is holding you back from taking your life and using it to make it better! Im sure you can do that and you will, sending you a lot of love brother, i’ll think about u ❤️
Its good that you are here.
Hey my friend. Rarely I do this getting a moment to moment to random people that I dont know..
But..... Here we go..
I had that thought a bit ago, about taking my gun and off myself, but the thoughts of my kidsz ,wife, mom and dad and even the way to my coworkers, that I didnt do it. Cause how many people would that affect and how many people would I let down . now or even later.
Who out of everyone would say must have been cause of me?
And I realized I would not want that toll on anyone. Im sick of hell on earth as well but guess what. Deal with it and get stronger or better from it.
I dont know you but hope from my heart your ok.
Always keep loving yourself and if you currently do not, then start doing it.
I loved this series so much. It was deep but had so many funny moments.
What's the name?
Love his craft!!! He's just amazing.
Derek is an amazing show as well.
Just awesomeness!!!
Derek was amazing. I cannot believe some people took offence of him playing his character. It was so pure and funny and happy and heart-wrenching.
Loved the Afterlife. Sad, but also many laughs. Ricky Gervais is pure genius!
This man in a genius. Thank you very much for showing even when life seems hopeless theres always a little light in the dark and a little dark in the light. Pure joy to watch. Thank you for this and everything else you’ve done.
Now more than ever no one lives by that quote
I don’t know how to feel when “I’ve always got suicide to fall back on” feels so reassuring
😢 it’s not worth it
It is. Because you're going to die anyway.
The world recently lost some of my favorite comics. Broke my heart.
Glad to see you've hung in there RG .
Love you & your talent.
Many Blessings.
"Happiness is AMAZING!!
It's so AMAZING, it doesn't matter if its yours or not!" 🔥🔥🔥
I have this corny line I’ve used for the last 25 years ( I’m 43 yrs young) I use it daily many times & it’s worked more than 99%. When I see people Engrossed in thought , I point to the ground and say “ uh oh , I think you may have dropped your smile”! They usually (99% ) smile , laugh and say thank you . I’ve had a lot of them explain that they needed that. That’s my ( although corny) way of giving back. I see it as planting a seed that hopefully will grow into a great tree and someday give fruit. Maybe even save a life!

Thank you for sharing.
A SMILE has the POWER to save a life. AND WHAT YOU JUST SHARED DOES TOO
Thanks , I will remember that and pass it on !!!🇺🇲👍🇺🇲👍🙏☝🙏😇
After five years in the Army, I felt exactly the same way. It sounds strange, but I took great comfort thinking that suicide was an option. It was one of the only things I had control of in my life. I haven't felt that way for many, many years, though. It may sound glib or trite, but one thing that kept me hanging on was the thought that the result of suicide was permanent, and if there was even the smallest chance that life could get better, I must stay alive. I didn't want to regret for eternity ending my life prematurely.
I’m feeling this now.
@@Molderon Wow. I pray for you and your brother. It breaks my heart. I'm sorry. Don't let your heart get cold. I'm sure you would help him if you could. There are tons of people like him out there that need hope and plenty of people out there missing a loved one. Again, sorry. Life is tough.
@@Molderon "Fatigue makes cowards of us all." As a suicide survivor, and now properly treated and no longer suicidal because of that treatment, I understand your point of view, but think it will ultimately be unhelpful for your own growth and processing of grief. Also, severe depression often has genetic and developmental links, so as a relative of a suicidal depressive, it may behoove you to learn about signs, symptoms, and coping mechanics. No one can be a better monitor of one's mental health that oneself (as long as one is largely attached to reality, of course).
There was (another) awful experiment done using rats. They would put rats into a deep bucket of water until they started to drown to see how long they'd fight (swim) to survive. On average they last about 5-10 minutes each before giving up and accepting they're death, but before they would drown they would pull the rats out and let them rest, and then repeat the experiment. What they found was that when the rats believed they where going to (eventually) be saved from drowning, instead of only lasting about 5-10 min, they would continue to fight (swim) for over 15 minutes to survive solely on the belief that they will eventually be saved.
It's an odd comparison I know, but the part of your comment
"if there was even the smallest chance that life could get better..." made me think of that experiment.
Glad you're still going. Keep going! Please don't consider it an option if possible. If you're doing alright then keep doing what you're doing ig, but please if possible keep your focus on the chance of a better life maybe. Regardless, also consider speaking to someone like a therapist as it's become very commonplace and it could help, if you feel lile that's something for you. Regardless, Keep going, you got this!
Awesome 👌 that even made me feel better! Thank you! God bless!!
As someone who has spent too much time trying to make others happy, I can tell you, sometimes it is important if you yourself are happy.
This is "the thing" I've lost sight of after so many years of political insanity; watching the astonishing levels of self-service, greed, and complete moral bankruptcy in our government. I forgot that there are still good people in the world and as long as at least one of them survives, the world still has a fighting chance. Hitler was finally stopped. Hopefully the evil, destructive, forces will be overcome by "happiness and good people who do things for other people. " God knows we need good people, in action, right now.
I stopped caring about things that were out of control, like politics (aside from voting… which I don’t do anyways). Look at the people around you that you actually interact with. Are there good people? Focus your time on those people, let go of all those things you worry about that you cannot change, and start focusing on those around you that matter.
@@epicipodmodzpolitics may be out of your control, but it affects every aspect of your life and those around you, so not caring about it is showing that deep down, you don't care about your people
@@Umbzard thats quite the jump youve made. Lets say I live in California and I want to vote republican... I go to vote for a republican candidate. My vote is worthless because california is not a swing state, why would I vote? Virtue signaling? So I can "show I care about my people"? It all seems like a way for people to feel proud that they went and "did something" for America.
@@epicipodmodz so you won't vote with your beliefs because your beliefs aren't the majority in your area? So you just conform to whatever the majority of your peers do? Sounds like someone is the perfect example of a sheep.
The pursuit of happiness is like chasing a mirage. Happiness is the effect of a life well lived and choices well made.
There was a time in my life I didn't want to live - but I didn't want to die either.
I love this show!! It’s so accurate in regards to the grieving process and life after loss. Very beautifully done ♥️
This man, in my very humble opinion, is a fucking God! Is there anything he can’t make beautiful? We know it’s Ricky but he’s soo good we get roped in! What a fantastic human 🥰
Damn! For a dark conversation that's actually really inspiring
My best friend died 12 years ago. 11 years ago her dad and I wrote a book in her memory, celebrating her life and legacy. Her dad said when we look back, we’ll see that we did the right thing.
I freaking love this woman bless you and thank you for sharing
True. Happiness of others still brings warmth inside. Especially when they e earned it. Nothing like it.
God and people. ☝️👍
"A society grows great, when old men plant tree's the shade of which they know they will never sit in".
Fantastic quote, and one which makes me think of the men who built the great Cathedrals of Europa.
Plus the great temples of Asia.
I have only been watching comedy since the Pandemic hit as to keep me from sinking, but this clip has convinced me to go ahead and watch this show. I love Ricky and all that he has added to our minds.
Most miraculous truth I've heard...
Seeing my son happy makes me tear up sometimes....
I'm just soooo happy 😊 that he's happy 😊
Thank you GOD.....
Take care everyone ❤ 💕
This was such a wonderful series with Season 3 being released Jan 14, 2022! Definitely worth the watch. Episodes are 25 mins so easy to watch in a weekend. You’ll laugh and cry and enjoy every minute!
I couldn't agree more
That's a great scene and loads of Sage advice.
I’m 31, single, been depressed a lot of the time and not found a career that matches what I majored in but last year my sister died. And this year I decided I’m tired of wallowing bc I can’t find something to be super excited about. I’ll just help others be happy for now, so I just got hired at a daycare and started the application to become a foster parent. There’s always something good we can do even if it doesn’t feel perfect.
She was soo good in this as they all were and it was soo well written!. This series helped me soo much after my dear Dad passed. I wasn't suicidal, it was just the way it made you look at loss and it helped. Thankyou Ricky!. Brill, Nuff said.
I relate to this show on a spiritual level.
Whenever i hear that quote i just think of Ricky asking Karl Pilkington if he understands it or not 🤣
He probably likes gardening anyway
Absolutely love this series. And the exchanges between Tony and Ann are always amazing
Anne is my fav person in this serie she had such good words for Tony and us as well she had such a powerfull impact on Tony and helped him to make life a little bit better and that was enough to help other and feeling content😢❤
Holy shit, that was actually great.
If you’re reading this, remember, the world is a better place because you’re in it ❤️ your presence is a gift and even if you’ve been the reason for someone to smile, you are appreciated ❤️
I've never heard of this quote before but I listened to it 4 times in a row it's a beautiful way of putting things into reality I will remember this quote forever and maybe I might get to use it sometime ❤
He’s genuinely such an incredible actor
Ricky smiles because he remembers telling Karl that same quote
Looked at by others as a good person and actually being a good person are two different things that’s why good people are never actually heard of. Looked at by others as a good person are seen all day long on social media.
What’s the real difference between the two
@@larafroeschl7083 one does it for recognition and popularity. The other does it because they genuinely have a good heart.
@@Slayer-tr9ir ah ok yeah that’s true
@@larafroeschl7083 yeah Lara, you knob
@@Slayer-tr9ir but does it matter why you do it? If you are helping people is it bad to want some attention?
That’s been one of Ricky’s favourite quotes for years and years. Nice that he gets to share it with so many people.
Pay it forward feels great happiness is amazing love her quote
Reminds me of something Hunter Thompson said:
"I would feel trapped in this life if I didn't know I could commit suicide at any time."
This is the most brilliant show on Netflix
The range of emotion is staggering and Ricky is a pure genius!
Is the show just called Afterlife?
@@KG-kx3pp yes
@@KG-kx3pp
Yes
I love this clip. Ricky Gervais is a caring human being and a genius.
Thanks for this !!!👍👍👍❤🤍💙👍👍👍I'm sure you've saved lives with this !!! God bless you !!!🙂🙃🙂😇
I think it's more like "good people don't do things that hinder others." I don't think you need to go out of your way to do good to be a good person. Because not everyone has the emotions or finances to spare for that. As long as you're mindful of your impact on others and don't do anything negative, you're a good person imo.
Hinderance is the key for growth. Good people do things FOR other people.
Sounds neutral.
Sounds like a cop out
Someone can do good things without money or large amounts of time. When someone makes the effort to do something good, even when they don't have to, that's what makes it extraordinary. I think what you just described is the basics of not being a bad person. And sure, if someone is not a bad person, one could say they are a good person. But indifference can be a slippery slope. There have been awful events in history that could have been avoided or at least lessened if good people had not been indifferent. There's a quote that I can't recall exactly, but it's something like "all that is required for evil to succeed is the inaction of good men". Simply not doing bad things does not, by default, mean someone is doing good things. Even if it requires going out of our way, we should do good things for others.
There is always some way to show kindness. If you don't have money, you have time. A word or a hug or a helping hand has no cost. Even if it's intimidating or otherwise less than pleasant, the fact that you stepped up and did a thing out of kindness helps the giver grow and the receiver to help the giver.
Happiness is having something to look forward to.
Such a profound scene. I absolutely love this truth 🙏
One of the best show I've seen and definitely the best of Ricky, amazing.
He who plants trees loves others.
TheLORD JESUS CHRIST died for all our sins and we hate HIM.
Which one is true loves the one that plant trees or the person who died for everyone?
If I plant tree, I don’t think about others I think about it beauty, fruits, flowers.
"The greatest among you will be your servant." Matthew 23:11
Don’t bring the bible into it, nothing to do with religion…Ricky Gervais would agree.
So many beautiful and profound scenes from this show. This is one of my favorites 💕
correct answer to the meaning of life that I have ever heard. Bravo.
The most real piece of advice in this strange time ,thats so divided
“A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in”
Feel free to screenshot 👍🏼 I wanted this for myself
Love that Statement! Amazing
Those scenes sat on that bench were always my favourite!!!
Happiness is so amazing! It doesn’t matter if it’s yours or not. Thank you Lord for showing me this today. Feeling happy for others happiness. A world of wisdom in a few simple words . ❤️❤️❤️
Good people do things for other people.
2000 years ago, a lonely figure, brutally tortured to within an inch of death so totally he didn't even look like a human being anymore, was nailed to a cross and left to suffocate to death for crimes committed by everyone but Himself. The repercussions of that day have shaped the world in ways we cannot begin to fathom. If we keep His commandments, He unlocks a world we could never find on our own, and the peace and joy that comes through Him remains forever. It is a gift. You cannot earn it, it cannot be bought.
It is finished. Thank you God for sending him to pay our debt in full. Thank Jesus doing God's will.
Afterlife is the reason why im alive. It gave me a new view of life
Happiness - so incredibly underrated yet so simple once you allow it into your life. Start with a little bit of gratitude each day 🙏
I loved the series! It is so real for some of us!!
"Many of my darkest nights I've been kept alive by thoughts of suicide"
What is this quote from
From what I know of Ricky Gervais he is more “Christian” than almost every Christian I have ever known or heard of. Proves you can be an atheist and just question things because you have a human brain without being drowned in ideology. We don’t need religion to scare people. We need more people like Ricky Gervais.
This will forever be one of my favorites
This raises the tone of the entire internet: what glorious writing!
Kind of reminds me of the saying "those who plant a date seed will not taste its fruit" can't remember if that was how it was said. But it takes about 80 years for a date tree to bear fruit
Heartwarming. I can't help but see her as Shaun's mom.
Buddhism: all about being kind. Compassionate and interconnected! Totally connected!
I love this woman she is always so wholesome, i cried when she died in shaun of the dead 😂.
Who is she n where can I find the full conversation
@@johnblaze4464 that's Harriet Jones from Doctor Who. It's kinda funny reading a comment asking who she is (it's a running joke in Doctor Who) 🤣🙂
The actresses name is Penelope Wilton.
@@johnblaze4464 she is called Penelope Wilton this is a scene from a show called "afterlife" i think this is the full clip

@@christinabo63 She is wonderful in Downton Abby💝
Sometimes we need "purpose" rather than looking for happiness.
Ricky Gervais amazed me with the creation of this story. He is brilliant. A multifaceted comedian who is thoughtful, and ❤
Rickys performance at the "Potatoes" was everlasting as far as im concerned. Bravo Ricky! Bravo!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
There's an old saying , " the best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The SECOND best time is TODAY!" If you are depressed and in that dark, dark place where nothing seems to matter... where you feel your life is wasted... gather yourself up and go do something for someone else. Do something, no matter how small, for a stranger or for the cashier at your favorite store or just SOMEONE... anyone ! When you do , look into their eyes and see how powerful you are. We are all alike. We all want to be thought of and loved.
You are valuable... you matter. Treat yourself like someone you care about!
Imagine the world if each and every one of us would only love ourselves and be good to others!
Be well everyone!
Amen Jesus spent his whole life on earth, doing good things for others, even into giving his own life to save us from the second death.
To be, or not to be. that is the question. Tis is nobler in the mind to suffer the slings of arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take up arms against a sea of troubles and to oppose, end them. To die, to sleep, and by sleep we mean to say to end the thousand natural shocks of heart ache the body is heir to. Tis a consumation truly to be wished. To sleep, nay, to dream? And there is the rub. What lies in that sleep of death what dreams may come when we shuffle off this mortal coil must give us pause, and the respect to the calamity of a life long lived.
Shakespeare's genius is even more mind boggling when you think of the age he lived in.
she’s such a lovely person. I loved her in Taskmaster
This is so good. Love the idea about old men planting trees.
Happiness...your's or another's It is that lovely thing....
Great statement, but when she finishes the rest of quote = it becomes full with important sentiment that everyone should hear & remember. It is beautiful!
BY FAR my FAVORiTE bit with Ricky Gervais.
Just watched this randomly again after months of seeing it for the first time. This scene sums up both parts of my brain over the past 10years. However her last part really hit home today for some reason.... I just hope i can be that one day.
I hope you all, who are reading this can be that.
This show changed my life 🧡 Thanks Ricky. #1 brother 🤘
From 14 years old I have battled thoughts of suicide. I have attempted on multiple occasions and failed each time. I became a mum at 20 and still fought those thoughts but I had an anchor ⚓️ now. No matter how much I wanted to leave, I just couldn't do that to my little boy. I thought about it often... and then not as often.. I am 32 now. I have 3 beautiful children, I am engaged to be married, I have a lot of reasons to stay. The thoughts are few and far between but when they come they hit like waves. Its maybe been a year or so now since I last thought that way.
It is a lifetime battle but I am prepared to continue fighting.
I have and always will try to be a good person and leave everywhere I go, better than I found it.
If you are fighting those thoughts right now, please know there are thousands of outcomes for your life but none of them exist if you are not here. Keep fighting, keep loving and that love will find its way back to you threefold ❤🙏🏽☯️
P.s You are enough. I love you friend
