I prefer the perfect balance between both. Too much comfort will make you lazy, but too much suffering can kill you. There are times when you need to rest and there times where you need to fight. That's how you truly grow.
Absolutely! I dont think this video is saying that we should completely live to suffer, but rather to not deny suffering as something that is inherently bad or evil. I agree, its always about finding the balance!
The problem is, the middle way isn't sexy enough. The fact that people are actually uploading videos about how Nietzsche thought suffering is beautiful and think believing like him will somehow get them brownie points is not only cringe, it's a delusion. No one actually believes suffering is beautiful. That's a victim mentality. Suffering is a part of life but that doesn't make it beautiful. Calling something beautiful that actually isn't is not only delusional, it's idiotic.
@@Gargoyle33 only sadomasochists think suffering is beautiful. Nietzsche was a loon and he died like one. This video is chasing clout after an insane, mad man. Keep in mind Nietzsche and the like were no talent hacks who couldn't be productive so they basically used the platform of social commentary to slowly propel themselves into madness while taking anyone that took them seriously down with them.
I'll prove to you that staking claim to suffering and somehow thinking you deserve respect for that is utter bullshit: I've suffered for the majority of my life from anorexia nervosa due to long lasting physcological abuse at the hands of my family. Blamed for everything. Not raised to succeed despite having two parents and not only minding but being around them the majority of my life. Rules for thy not for I being the all pervasive theme of my life. I've never been a drunk or smoked due to the fact that both my drunk grandparents died due to alcohol. My grandma died long before I was even born. Mental illnesses like the one I have are inherited and I do my best to mitigate what I can. My suffering is not beautiful, it's constant and I have to keep it in check at all times. Does anyone care? No. A comment section is not going to care either, obviously. If someone were to respond with canned empathy the only reason would be to be fasicious because you can't be genuine about something like that in a UA-cam comment. Once again, no one cares. No one one genuinely cares about your struggle either. Any interest is purely fueled by either superiority or virtue signalling. If you don't know the difference between good and evil as Nietzsche did, who this video is about, keep that shit out of your vernacular.
Thanks! It's all about the community. I want to see everyone succeed that puts the work in. If I fail, it'll be because I didn't work hard enough or quit. Not an option.
Im german and as the english transcriptions of Nietzsche already seem complex, you will never understand how uncomprehensible his texts are in german for a normal human being like me, its the most beautiful thing tho. So much meaning in just one sentence
Moreover to translate the way he uses German stylistically is impossible. Reading him in English feels like every sentence needs anecdotes explaining the nuance of his wordplay.
@@StockpileThomas1 Well reading him in german constitutes for a lot of reaserching too, after all he was a philologist, i think he saw so much more than the mere superficial meaning of a word but thrue his studies its entire history
I love this. Jordan Peterson talked about how our language makes us think differently. In german we got 2 words for "the same", "das gleiche" and "das selbe" (as you know). We can easily conprehend the differences since we learned it early in life, but someone who doesnt have this seperation in language might struggle a bit more with it. Speaking a lot of languages will literally make you understand things more easily in this way.
Nailed it..only if it has perceivable meaning whether presently or in the future. Most does but some is pointless and that pushes people towards nihilism
@@AhmedBensa nah man, I wish..in fact it’s so environmentally defined that humans often trick eachother into destructive suffering. Choosing to appreciate the value is real, but you don’t just assign it meaning.
@@DrewishBear it’s called delusional to believe everything happens for some type of reason. Suffering happens with no reason, so to believe there is meaning in something meaningless is to partake in a chase with no end. Sometimes there is no meaning and that’s okay. You don’t need to find meaning at all.
I was once forced to endure extremely strenuous activity to the point of dehydration and the beginning stages of renal failure (my urine was dark like coffee). I had never suffered more in my whole life to that point, I had never been so thirsty in my whole life, I felt like I was about to die. Finally it was over and I could relax and drink water. When I took that first drink of water, while suffering, I realized for the first time what water truly tasted like. I still remember it to this day. It was just regular water, but when I drank it I finally realized what the ancient Greeks meant by "the nectar of the Gods" it was water, it's always been water, but you will never taste water as I tasted that day, the nectar of the gods can only be tasted when you have pushed your body further than 99% of humans ever will.
how does this great video have so few views? in my personal experience, moments of great and continous stress and suffering have not only allowed me to mature emotionally, but have stories to tell and to subcontiously start being more confident in my ability to face challanges
This video made me emotional. It gave me an inspirational boost of confidence to push myself forward in an effort to break the shackles of a comfortable life. What does an easy life ever get you, but remorse and regret.
That's a good start. Please think more. What are you without your possessions? A capable man, capable to achieve anything from any situation. Good. You're there. What are you without your physicality and your intelligence? What are you without your thoughts and feelings, and brain, that is a self reading library? What are you then? What is your hope to live then? Even if you live. What do you achieve? What do you achieve something so essential, yet so intangible, that's beyond your possessions and capabilities? What is it?
@@dellonerf3140 @dellonerf3140 You've taken my comment out of context. Essentially, I needed to remove those negative thoughts ruminating inside my head about how I was being judged and perceived by others in the external world. Pushing myself to do things outside my comfort zone for the betterment of my psyche. It's not always a gaint step forward but small incremental steps to improve ones mental state. Sit idle and watch your inner life die or take that "leap of faith."

I always thought I was undisciplined, because I did not abide by the laws of society And do what I want I was going to change my behavior after it caused a lot of trouble for me and my family , after I got out of prison... This video convinced me to be me (free) Thanks
Dude, thank you so much for this vid! I have suffered from loneliness year over a decade. This video completely shifted my perspective on what suffering is... which is kinda crazy to even write.. Truly appreciate this!
I feel the effects of it. I come from a long line of conquerors, explorer's, and innovators. I do my best to be masculine, teach masculinity, and stand for what's right, even despite having been a soldier and being pretty tough relative to my peers, i still feel as though previous generations were more man than i, or anyone from my generation could ever hope to become. We live in the shadow of the great men that came before us, and nothing short of a historic struggle to overcome will harden us or make us deserving of our heritage.
You are picking a small elite and saying it represents 'past generations'. Most men of any previous generation were fairly cowardly, didnt face things, and lacked a lot of good points that we take for granted.
I have suffered greatly these last few months, all form the comfort of my own home. Alone and isolated. My friends, suffering is inevitable, please ensure it is worthwhile. Get off that couch, get out from under that blanket. The universe is begging you. Peace and love to you all, I genuinely mean it ❤
I almost skipped this video because I didn't want to start my morning with a "suffering" video. But then I saw it was coming from your channel and watched it. Thank you for posting this, the truth was spoken!
Bro this video is a masterpiece, it perfectly expresses how I have come to feel after reading and hearing lectures on such topics. Im not great at expressing my belief's and opinions to others, but I shall use this as a reference point and send to many people. thank you!
Ive just been getting into philosophy for real these past months and this really hit a spot for me and getting me really curious on Nietzsche! Will definetely read further into him now because of this. Thanks!
This video is not philosophy. This is the actual self masturbation, just trying to validate one’s own masculinity but it will not actually lead to long-term wellbeing
Thanks for this. There are many videos like this, but right now this was what I needed. I am a motivated and disciplined person. Studying arecology full-time, lifting weights often and kickboxing, also have a regular meditation practice, but lately I've mostly been browsing the net, without a goal or purpose. I will take hold of my life and discipline myself.
Just be careful. Know why you're doing what you're doing. My father was obsessively "productive" for the sake of being productive. Because he was running from his lack of inner peace. That's hiw he knew to squelch the disquiet within. He never delt with the internal strife, and was set on a neverending path of chasing "something"
@@phillystevesteak6982 Thank you for caring. Yes that is how it is. But through my meditation and thoughtfulness, I work with my inner peace. I think you can be both Leonidas of Sparta and Buddha.
My parents want the easy life for me - to work adequately but not too hard, be respected in society but not to a level where it would breed jealously. They don't know how to act - scared to face someone with a higher social status than they do, acting like sheep with no self-respect. They don't want me to do things that would otherwise be considered iconoclastic even though they themselves admire great personalities who've shaped societies. I have not lived in their shoes - it may be easier to settle for the quiet life but somewhere within me just doesn't want that.
I felt the same towards my parents but now that I have kids I *somewhat* get it. Your parents probably just want the best for you, but at the same time want to keep you safe.
Where you at now? If you are shaming your parents for just that, you're ungrateful. What I wouldn't give for parents that prioritized my health over their selfishness. You are suffering from delusions of grandeur.
Keep in mind, we have to work harder for a decent life than they did. That alone deserves some quiet merit in itself. You are chasing clout, my man. Even if you were to become what your heart desires, that would require some kind of money and fame. Your credibility can be lost and your money too. You don't control it. You have no control. Anything can happen. You may be able to endure but not for long. Your body will fail and then your mind will break. Finally you'll look back and regret basing your ego on becoming "someone," and you'll need to ask yourself if it was worth it, and guess what? It isn't.
pretty great video brother. I'm struggling too as an artist, between what the world wants me to produce(life denial) and what God want's me to produce and what I know to be right(life affirmation). Producing hogwash the world wants is easy and comfy,but it's not the path to self actualization.
I'm an artist too, and struggle sometimes with doing what's popular and will bring me views/attention, or doing what inspires me regardless of what the outcome might be. I choose myself in the end always. But I do struggle at first, so I know where you're coming from.
This beautiful video is a cure in these dark times. May we grow ever stronger, for our suffering is a privilege of the living and the great. To quote Katsumoto from The Last Samurai: "I belong to the warrior in whom the old ways have joined the new."
I've been reading Nietzsche for years and also reading the book Not Nice, trying to become more selfish and to embrace emotional discomfort , taking cold showers, No Fap, and I know it's cliche to say this but I'm changing.
"Acquiring a Taste for suffering and Danger." You could have stopped the video after that! Wow! I have never heard anything like that before. Anyway, it's really hard for me to believe that a great fearsome wolf was downgraded into a small infantile cute non-threatening puppy from lack of discomfort danger and challenge but if true that is definitely some great insightful information. Over the last few months (especially) I have really been depriving myself of coffee, sugar, junk food, alcohol etc. and just too much comfort in general, because I don't want to end up like that little puppy, lol. I go three weeks to a month without those things and interestingly, they are nowhere near as rewarding, when I consume them again after sooo long. Candy sweets chips etc. just don't taste as gratifying to me when you are actually able to go sooo long without them. You actually really start to appreciate fruits and see them as rewarding when fasting from all that man-made artificial crap. Well anyway. Congratulations on your Book and bless you for this channel!

Keep it up… the path is dangerous and filled with joy and pain but worthwhile… it will bring the best on you through overcoming all obstacles from within
You’re so very eloquent, Kristian, I’d love to read what you’ve written and wish you all the very best with your book! We need more wolves to guide us into the light, more thinkers and human beings such as yourself. People with character and the courage to walk through the fire.

Working nine hours a day, five days a week on top of severe arthritis and COPD, just to make 2k a month, involves constant suffering. Many of us actually have to suffer just to survive. Those who have easy, well-paying jobs or dont have to work might have lives lacking suffering, but they've in the minority.
Thanks, this was confirming for me to recreate myself and keep evolving physically, mentally, etc. Then money and everything else falls in place, then help others👍🙏💯
I believe in Balance. Challenges come to change a perspective. Loving pain and really tough situation I dont believe is healthy at all. Accepting and Loving The Outcome, the lesson learned.
I think a hard life is necessary. At the same time it’s not what it used to be. We don’t need to go to war not because we don’t want to but because it’s not needed.
I've been suffering from severe chronic pain for 13 years. I have pudendal neuralgia and chronic prostatitis. Everyday that I don't kill myself is a victory.
I been suffering of Chronic Pain to for about 10 years. I remember that Nietzsche suffered for Chronical migraine headache since kid, he lived his entire live with this pain at point that him do not interacted to people at all. I always keep thinking, how strong this guy really are.
The stoic has a quote, don't remember by who or the latin wording, but; "Love Fate" basicaly. Whatever happens, love it.. I have been in a battle with my addiction for two decades.. Heroin is the one that realy gets a grip on your very soul, thought it was bad when it was only amphetamine and pills.. Anyway.. Recovering now, I am not bitter about any of it. I don't worry about "what could have been". I do not place blame on any external factor. I am who I am, and there is a purpose to it all.. Thank you for the video, good one. And to everyone: Keep fighting, never let go of your inner power, you will prevail if you don't quit and let the darkness consume you. Even when it does.. Just a tiny spark may remind you of the light within. Use that moment to pick yourself up again..
Easy life is not a choice, but a fact. Humanity has collected so much power, that it can not only defeat all animals, but also destroy the entire nature within one day. Therefore, nature is no more dangerous in general.
@@iamKristianBell that is the biggest problem, you need to find a new enemy or danger or a goal that is worthy dying for. Which means, a new nation, if there is a new goal. Climbing mountains can be nihilistic, i.e. senseless. I dont even think modern nations are dangerous to each other anymore, since they have no offspring. You need a new one, and maybe you need such customs which allow forcing women to accept patriarchy.
I do agree to some extent. But if it can't be a nation on the largest scale yet, perhaps we could build little kingdoms in our lifetime, and that's an honorable and meaningful pursuit. Also, don't worry about legislating patriarchy, whatever culture you can build on a small scale will set the tone for the large scale. And I do believe if enough people keep working for this dream, it will happen
@@iamKristianBell you can try having a philosopher kingdom, but this is only a gathering for something bigger. Because the world government is approaching, and this might be of the last man.
@@zeljkop5695 Don't despair in the event of the creation of a world government. Good and excellence can and will come out of it, but only from a certain minority of people, and it will in turn bless the world.
Nietzsche explains in his Aphorism 864 of WTP that when the strong become weak, right after world wars, then nature, or as he names it "life", employs the mediocre to represent humanity ... how long? So long as the weak, who are maybe the offspring of the strong, do not perish. When the Schlechtweggekommenen are not anymore there, nature will eventually convert some of those mediocre into new warriors again. Because, if that offspring of the strong, the "children of flowers" (Woodstock) continue to dominate over the mediocre, then we all would perish. Imagine little children learning sex in ground school and how to use marijuana.
Good work young man. As a man entering seniority alone on a mountain, almost without modern comforts, i can endorse your doctrines. From the Pre-Socratics to magnanimous men of our Age, the wisdom handed down to ears that are open does not change. What is crucial to continued evolution is to understand that despite the essential simplicity of wisdom, we must remain open and be ready to acknowledge our own fallibility. Neither Nietzsche, nor Evola, nor Jung knew our truth, it remains to be striven for. There is no End, only a path. Persevere.
Sorry to hear that and I hope you are ok, but you need to use that to motivate you. suffering is subjective I know, You don’t know how strong that has made you.
If you think you suffered enough, then you should strive for comfort. Although I think that suffering is worth striving for, I don't believe it applies to everybody.
I think Nietzsche glorifies suffering instead of putting it in its proper place. suffering is distasteful. whether you eventually become a better man from it, it will never feel good. the children working in the lithium mines of Congo, the woman who is raped at some alley in Mumbai, the slave laborer at a construction site in the UAE, the people of Gaza bombarded every day are all suffering. But what benefit is their suffering? what Beauty are they going to acquire after their ordeal? suffering should be put in its proper place. suffering for the sake of suffering is meaningless. suffering is only worthwhile if it is meaning full and a lot of suffering in this world isn't
I agree. But I think Nietzsche was speaking from a place of when suffering is inevitable and avoidable, what do you do? Love it. Use it. Channel into something beautiful. Maybe not seek it out, but life has plenty of it already
@@iamKristianBellto love suffering is antithetical to it’s purpose. Suffering isn’t something to be glorified it’s something to learn of as to how to avoid it for yourself and future generations. In nature suffering is hunger, injury, illness things we evolve to avoid or deal with more effectively. And if suffering is a byproduct it is usually to prevent a greater amount of it.
@@ruthlessjones8220 "it’s something to learn of as to how to avoid it for yourself and future generations" Looks like people here do not learn even explaining, thats sad. Only live and experience make some people to know.
I live best whenever I pick myself up by the bootstraps and do something creative. It has also become incredibly important to stop commiserating. I've noticed that of all preoccupations, that's the thing that people cling to the most. People love being around completely brainless, miserable people. Also the path of creativity is a solo path, and you have to get into a comfortable situation so you can deal with the solitude, only then will it bring people to you out of their own misery!
Brother, a meaningful life does not need to be filled with hardship and misery. Stop misleading the people. Don’t be lazy, don’t be reckless - and overly ambitious, be balanced.
Equality would allow us to push forward, just because we suffered more in the past does not mean it was all for nothing. Those people that were forced to suffer persistently had future generations in mind, nobody who is authentically human wishes their children to endure suffering. Happiness is strength too. Happiness is how we connect with others, it’s how healthy relationships are built. Its how love is created. With love we fulfill our real purpose, to build towards a more utopian society. It may never be reached completely, but that’s what it’s all for.
15:35 Nietzsche also said 'conviction' not believe is the most dangerous thing to have. Brother choosing a partner can mean being kind and loving towards her not your version of a 'high class's friend. What do we bring to the table 👍❤ love your video my friend Christian
Thank you Kristian! This was a fantastic video! I especially liked how you used the clips from Batman Begins when Bruce was in the jail cell. It shed new light on something I overlooked. I’ll be buying your book good sir. Thanks again!
This is so stupid Suffering does not make one beautiful. A hobo on the street trying to make ends meet everyday, a third world kid that has no parents and has to get by by doing a life of crime until they can be old enough to work more legit is not "beautiful". Even if these people become successful there is nothing majestic or beautiful about it, its just plain sad and humbling.
It is not so much the avoidance of suffering that is the problem, but more so finding something worth suffering for in a world totally devoid of meaning.
Growing up i kind of enjoyed going through pain. Like i loved it. During PE classes I was known as the guy who loved "torture" (honestly, i might have loved the feeling of superiority and the praise i got from the coaches more, idk.) When i turned 18, i got my 1st phone. Don't think too much about why i got a phone so late as a Gen Z. I grew up in a 3rd world country and my parents didn't see a phone as something a child needs to have. And honestly, they were right, but went about it the wrong way because when i did get the phone, I became ADDICTED, and i still am on some level, but far less than before. As i became more addicted, i started consuming a lot of political content mostly leftist content and I became what most people call a "soy boy". I stepped out of that space in late 22 and during my recovery, i feel shame for betraying my past self. It feels so hard to gain back my own mentality and energy back (or better). I was honestly much more powerful as a child, i was introverted but never anxious, and brave when i needed to be. I've been chasing that version of me lately and this video helped realize that i need to stop chasing my own shadow. I need to re-invent myself and build my strength from my current foundation. Thanks a lot, man. I'm really tired of being weak.
I ripped out an infected ingrown toenail the other day. There was much suffering, therefore it was beautiful. Also a trash can wasn’t around, nor was anyone else, I was feeling lazy, so I just kinda ate it. Ennobling beauty, in that moment I was more god than man. Nietzsche would’ve approved.
....don’t eat your nails...that’s dumb not tuff..and get some antiseptic on the area where the ingrown nail was.Nail infections can be stubborn to heal.From an old guy.
I've just watched your video, and guess what? I bought your book right away (and the extra chapter too). I'm going through tremendous changes in my life, and I think your book will help me understand this process better. Thank you !!!
Everything in the world is cope. Marriage is cope, bearing children is cope, sports is a cope - what is not a cope? Are we simply living to die or do we die to live?
@@ItsShahed17 u right, I suppose it would depend on the perspective. I know when I was younger, I lived and did things not as a reaction to existential challenges but more as a journey of self discovery and connection with the world.
Self domestication of the human species made civilization work. If we were the wolves (cavemen) we would live a simple and dangerous life, but we would have never conquered the world nor invented the very technology this video is created with. (Which would be ok tbh). It is scientifically proven that domesticated animals are much more intelligent than their wild counterparts, because of their higher social learning capability. Don't let the wolf inside you die, but sometimes the smart and cooperative dog runs the world.
Personally, I think the greatest glory and ultimate freedom is to be able to choose which and how much struggle and discomfort I want to take part in. But yeah, being lonely and away from the roaches is absolutely a gift.
Without pain the comforts of this life become less enjoyable even sleep, becomes worth it after you given your all. I gave myself a 30-day challenge to give my all in everything as if I was going to die, and I am on day two, and I must say the way of my life is worth it. Following in ways of noblemen is the only path I have picked, and I am willing to die for it!
This video is intellectually reckless and takes the work of Nietzsche more than once out of it's context. The classical suffering is something totally different as the modern version of it. You also ignore the complicated contemporary context of the post industrial revolution and capitalism and replace it with a decor set up with images of deadbeats (weed smoking, gaming, lying on the sofa). In that way you ignore a very controlling, dominant cultural setting and take it all out (symptomatically) on the individual. It bothers me that this feels like a selfhelp video for potsmokers and would be more powerful if it would criticize our culture more in depth. Also, try to define what suffering is: would you use the same selfhelp-vocabulary (and imagery of bearded muscled men) of for people with serious conditions as PTSD? A woman who got gang-raped? Sorry for my strong language. Besides making a few valuable points. I think sharing reflections on 'suffering' and talking about it in a philosophical context could be done with more care. I feel sorry for the people in the comments thanking you, the way the adres you as 'bro or dude' is another hint of sadness. Dear bro's and dudes, you still have a long way to go...
It’s a UA-cam video it doesn’t have to be a perfect philosophy paper, I am glad that we have people expressing their views in a more casual way. I don’t see why the pictures of guys smoking weed detract from the main point of the video. If you want to blame society or the individual it isn’t totally relevant as we are talking about suffering not the cause of it. And I do think this message could still be applicable to someone with ptsd or someone who is “gang raped” as acceptance and a positive outlook don’t hurt.
"As long as your desire is pleasure, and you cherish your desire, carry on playing like a child, you are not man enough for this." ~ Hakim Sanai (The Walled Garden of Truth)
This is why the manga "Berserk" awakes this inner sense of purpose and ambition towards life, whether life has been torture chamber, or a straight nice road at times, you never let suffering and evil take away your fight to keep living life
I prefer the perfect balance between both. Too much comfort will make you lazy, but too much suffering can kill you. There are times when you need to rest and there times where you need to fight. That's how you truly grow.
Yes you need time to comprehend.
Edit; otherwise the suffering becomes mental
Absolutely! I dont think this video is saying that we should completely live to suffer, but rather to not deny suffering as something that is inherently bad or evil. I agree, its always about finding the balance!

We can easily conprehend the differences since we learned it early in life, but someone who doesnt have this seperation in language might struggle a bit more with it. Speaking a lot of languages will literally make you understand things more easily in this way.
Suffering is good as long as it has a purpose and meaning.
Nailed it..only if it has perceivable meaning whether presently or in the future. Most does but some is pointless and that pushes people towards nihilism
U give meaning to the suffering
@@AhmedBensa nah man, I wish..in fact it’s so environmentally defined that humans often trick eachother into destructive suffering. Choosing to appreciate the value is real, but you don’t just assign it meaning.
@@DrewishBear it’s called delusional to believe everything happens for some type of reason. Suffering happens with no reason, so to believe there is meaning in something meaningless is to partake in a chase with no end. Sometimes there is no meaning and that’s okay. You don’t need to find meaning at all.
@@J_Analytics agreed, but it will break one’s spirit to suffer meaninglessly too long..thus nihilism and people who live in abject misery
I was once forced to endure extremely strenuous activity to the point of dehydration and the beginning stages of renal failure (my urine was dark like coffee). I had never suffered more in my whole life to that point, I had never been so thirsty in my whole life, I felt like I was about to die. Finally it was over and I could relax and drink water. When I took that first drink of water, while suffering, I realized for the first time what water truly tasted like. I still remember it to this day. It was just regular water, but when I drank it I finally realized what the ancient Greeks meant by "the nectar of the Gods" it was water, it's always been water, but you will never taste water as I tasted that day, the nectar of the gods can only be tasted when you have pushed your body further than 99% of humans ever will.
how does this great video have so few views?
in my personal experience, moments of great and continous stress and suffering have not only allowed me to mature emotionally, but have stories to tell and to subcontiously start being more confident in my ability to face challanges
Shoveling snow for hours helps my back feel better. This speaks to that: and to being a farmer.
This video made me emotional. It gave me an inspirational boost of confidence to push myself forward in an effort to break the shackles of a comfortable life. What does an easy life ever get you, but remorse and regret.
And a better grave plot
@@squatmasterproductions2973lol
That's a good start. Please think more. What are you without your possessions? A capable man, capable to achieve anything from any situation. Good. You're there. What are you without your physicality and your intelligence? What are you without your thoughts and feelings, and brain, that is a self reading library? What are you then? What is your hope to live then?
Even if you live. What do you achieve? What do you achieve something so essential, yet so intangible, that's beyond your possessions and capabilities? What is it?
And how does this breaking of shackles look like for you?
Are you assaulting people or how do you make your life less comfortable?
@@dellonerf3140 @dellonerf3140 You've taken my comment out of context. Essentially, I needed to remove those negative thoughts ruminating inside my head about how I was being judged and perceived by others in the external world. Pushing myself to do things outside my comfort zone for the betterment of my psyche. It's not always a gaint step forward but small incremental steps to improve ones mental state. Sit idle and watch your inner life die or take that "leap of faith."
Brilliant video, young man. Striving for a life of meaning is more satisfying than striving for simple happiness.
What does a life of meaning mean to you, aside from being the master of your own destiny?
I fight to Affirm my suffering Then ⚡️🔥 overcome It! In my overcoming I grow deeper & more Powerful than ever before 🔥🦅 thanks man I needed this
You don't need to prove anything to anyone.
Too much suffering will break a person, there needs to be balance
What about Navy seals and the likes of Goggins and Elon musk ?
@@Ealdorman_of_MerciaElon constantly says, you don’t want to be me, it’s too stressful etc. Most people require balance but some are wired differently like goggins and musk
How does musk suffer? wtf are you people taking about?@@richardc861
@@Ealdorman_of_Mercia why take the extremes and use them as examples of what humans can do? arent we all different. if not then we all have the same potential? does elon musk not have exceptional reasoning capabilities ? did he not grow in a nurturing environment? was it really suffering that make him who he is . or did the sought out meaning himself and then suffered for it?
@@Ealdorman_of_Merciadon’t compare SEALs with Elon musk, he’s an actor. They have a limit to their suffering and it is extremely meaningful and incentivized..it’s not just suffering for sufferings sake. That’s the Marine Corps.
Nothing is guaranteed except for suffering and death. And sometimes the suffering is utterly pointless and cruel..just be careful
I always thought I was undisciplined, because I did not abide by the laws of society
And do what I want
I was going to change my behavior after it caused a lot of trouble for me and my family , after I got out of prison...
This video convinced me to be me (free)
Thanks
Stay F R E E my friend 🫡
The realization that a Shih Tzu is descendent of the Wolf is very disturbing, but it very clearly illustrates man’s fall from masculinity.
I tried comfort. So I lost everything. So I decided to take some risks now I'm living a happy life. I decided to chase my Infinite potential
You've hit the nail on the head by calling the culture of safety a life-denying system. Nice video
Dude, thank you so much for this vid! I have suffered from loneliness year over a decade. This video completely shifted my perspective on what suffering is... which is kinda crazy to even write.. Truly appreciate this!
One of the few channels that actually inspire me and make me do better decisions in all aspects of life. Thank you a lot for this.
I feel the effects of it. I come from a long line of conquerors, explorer's, and innovators. I do my best to be masculine, teach masculinity, and stand for what's right, even despite having been a soldier and being pretty tough relative to my peers, i still feel as though previous generations were more man than i, or anyone from my generation could ever hope to become. We live in the shadow of the great men that came before us, and nothing short of a historic struggle to overcome will harden us or make us deserving of our heritage.
Facts
We are also shaped by the place, time and circumstances we live in.
You are picking a small elite and saying it represents 'past generations'. Most men of any previous generation were fairly cowardly, didnt face things, and lacked a lot of good points that we take for granted.
I have suffered greatly these last few months, all form the comfort of my own home. Alone and isolated.
My friends, suffering is inevitable, please ensure it is worthwhile. Get off that couch, get out from under that blanket. The universe is begging you.
Peace and love to you all, I genuinely mean it ❤
I almost skipped this video because I didn't want to start my morning with a "suffering" video. But then I saw it was coming from your channel and watched it.
Thank you for posting this, the truth was spoken!
I hear ya. Not the most lighthearted content! It's amazing how Nietzsche can turn suffering into an inspiring thing tho
@iamKristianBell indeed!
And you have helped me to get inspired, so thank you brother!
Bro this video is a masterpiece, it perfectly expresses how I have come to feel after reading and hearing lectures on such topics. Im not great at expressing my belief's and opinions to others, but I shall use this as a reference point and send to many people. thank you!
🙏
Ive just been getting into philosophy for real these past months and this really hit a spot for me and getting me really curious on Nietzsche! Will definetely read further into him now because of this. Thanks!
This video is not philosophy. This is the actual self masturbation, just trying to validate one’s own masculinity but it will not actually lead to long-term wellbeing
Thanks for this. There are many videos like this, but right now this was what I needed. I am a motivated and disciplined person. Studying arecology full-time, lifting weights often and kickboxing, also have a regular meditation practice, but lately I've mostly been browsing the net, without a goal or purpose. I will take hold of my life and discipline myself.
Just be careful. Know why you're doing what you're doing. My father was obsessively "productive" for the sake of being productive. Because he was running from his lack of inner peace. That's hiw he knew to squelch the disquiet within. He never delt with the internal strife, and was set on a neverending path of chasing "something"
@@phillystevesteak6982 Thank you for caring. Yes that is how it is. But through my meditation and thoughtfulness, I work with my inner peace. I think you can be both Leonidas of Sparta and Buddha.
@@Lexthebarbarian (: I like that
My parents want the easy life for me - to work adequately but not too hard, be respected in society but not to a level where it would breed jealously. They don't know how to act - scared to face someone with a higher social status than they do, acting like sheep with no self-respect. They don't want me to do things that would otherwise be considered iconoclastic even though they themselves admire great personalities who've shaped societies. I have not lived in their shoes - it may be easier to settle for the quiet life but somewhere within me just doesn't want that.
What is a loud life?
I felt the same towards my parents but now that I have kids I *somewhat* get it. Your parents probably just want the best for you, but at the same time want to keep you safe.
Receipts.
Where you at now? If you are shaming your parents for just that, you're ungrateful. What I wouldn't give for parents that prioritized my health over their selfishness. You are suffering from delusions of grandeur.
Keep in mind, we have to work harder for a decent life than they did. That alone deserves some quiet merit in itself. You are chasing clout, my man. Even if you were to become what your heart desires, that would require some kind of money and fame. Your credibility can be lost and your money too. You don't control it. You have no control. Anything can happen. You may be able to endure but not for long. Your body will fail and then your mind will break. Finally you'll look back and regret basing your ego on becoming "someone," and you'll need to ask yourself if it was worth it, and guess what? It isn't.
pretty great video brother. I'm struggling too as an artist, between what the world wants me to produce(life denial) and what God want's me to produce and what I know to be right(life affirmation). Producing hogwash the world wants is easy and comfy,but it's not the path to self actualization.
I'm an artist too, and struggle sometimes with doing what's popular and will bring me views/attention, or doing what inspires me regardless of what the outcome might be.
I choose myself in the end always. But I do struggle at first, so I know where you're coming from.
Just be true to what you find important, do good work, and it'll come. That's my philosophy, at least...

I've been reading Nietzsche for years and also reading the book Not Nice, trying to become more selfish and to embrace emotional discomfort , taking cold showers, No Fap, and I know it's cliche to say this but I'm changing.
Are you going to the gym or dieting or anything? Or just the easy stuff? Lol
@@McCarthy1776nofap is harder than the gym tbh

@@crix_h3eadshotgg992fr, i can go to the gym 6 times a week but can't hold urge to beat the meat at least 3 days

No reason to be selfish . Anti social is not a good way to be
"Acquiring a Taste for suffering and Danger." You could have stopped the video after that! Wow! I have never heard anything like that before. Anyway, it's really hard for me to believe that a great fearsome wolf was downgraded into a small infantile cute non-threatening puppy from lack of discomfort danger and challenge but if true that is definitely some great insightful information. Over the last few months (especially) I have really been depriving myself of coffee, sugar, junk food, alcohol etc. and just too much comfort in general, because I don't want to end up like that little puppy, lol. I go three weeks to a month without those things and interestingly, they are nowhere near as rewarding, when I consume them again after sooo long. Candy sweets chips etc. just don't taste as gratifying to me when you are actually able to go sooo long without them. You actually really start to appreciate fruits and see them as rewarding when fasting from all that man-made artificial crap. Well anyway. Congratulations on your Book and bless you for this channel!

Working nine hours a day, five days a week on top of severe arthritis and COPD, just to make 2k a month, involves constant suffering.

Too bad I didn't understand this in my younger years like the maker of this video does. He already has a head start in life.
Very well structured video man. Your video was recommended and I’m glad I watched. I’ll be checking out your book for sure. Keep up the good work.

I believe in Balance. Challenges come to change a perspective. Loving pain and really tough situation I dont believe is healthy at all. Accepting and Loving The Outcome, the lesson learned.
I think a hard life is necessary. At the same time it’s not what it used to be. We don’t need to go to war not because we don’t want to but because it’s not needed.
Unfortunately it will always be needed for there will always be those that seek to rob and dominate others.

I've been suffering from severe chronic pain for 13 years. I have pudendal neuralgia and chronic prostatitis. Everyday that I don't kill myself is a victory.
I been suffering of Chronic Pain to for about 10 years.
I remember that Nietzsche suffered for Chronical migraine headache since kid, he lived his entire live with this pain at point that him do not interacted to people at all.
I always keep thinking, how strong this guy really are.
The stoic has a quote, don't remember by who or the latin wording, but; "Love Fate" basicaly. Whatever happens, love it.. I have been in a battle with my addiction for two decades.. Heroin is the one that realy gets a grip on your very soul, thought it was bad when it was only amphetamine and pills.. Anyway.. Recovering now, I am not bitter about any of it. I don't worry about "what could have been". I do not place blame on any external factor. I am who I am, and there is a purpose to it all.. Thank you for the video, good one. And to everyone: Keep fighting, never let go of your inner power, you will prevail if you don't quit and let the darkness consume you. Even when it does.. Just a tiny spark may remind you of the light within. Use that moment to pick yourself up again..
Way to go brother. I too have wrestled with those dragons. The suffering was incredible.
@@iamKristianBell Yet, here we are.. Stronger for it.. You are an inspiration, channelig creativity and wisdom :)
Easy life is not a choice, but a fact. Humanity has collected so much power, that it can not only defeat all animals, but also destroy the entire nature within one day. Therefore, nature is no more dangerous in general.
True. But when the easy life is a fact, the hard life becomes a choice. Aiming the arrow and overcoming yourself is always an option
@@iamKristianBell that is the biggest problem, you need to find a new enemy or danger or a goal that is worthy dying for. Which means, a new nation, if there is a new goal. Climbing mountains can be nihilistic, i.e. senseless. I dont even think modern nations are dangerous to each other anymore, since they have no offspring. You need a new one, and maybe you need such customs which allow forcing women to accept patriarchy.
I do agree to some extent. But if it can't be a nation on the largest scale yet, perhaps we could build little kingdoms in our lifetime, and that's an honorable and meaningful pursuit. Also, don't worry about legislating patriarchy, whatever culture you can build on a small scale will set the tone for the large scale. And I do believe if enough people keep working for this dream, it will happen
@@iamKristianBell you can try having a philosopher kingdom, but this is only a gathering for something bigger. Because the world government is approaching, and this might be of the last man.
@@zeljkop5695 Don't despair in the event of the creation of a world government. Good and excellence can and will come out of it, but only from a certain minority of people, and it will in turn bless the world.
Nietzsche explains in his Aphorism 864 of WTP that when the strong become weak, right after world wars, then nature, or as he names it "life", employs the mediocre to represent humanity ... how long? So long as the weak, who are maybe the offspring of the strong, do not perish. When the Schlechtweggekommenen are not anymore there, nature will eventually convert some of those mediocre into new warriors again. Because, if that offspring of the strong, the "children of flowers" (Woodstock) continue to dominate over the mediocre, then we all would perish. Imagine little children learning sex in ground school and how to use marijuana.
suffering and adventure makes you grow - thanks for the reminder
Good work young man. As a man entering seniority alone on a mountain, almost without modern comforts, i can endorse your doctrines. From the Pre-Socratics to magnanimous men of our Age, the wisdom handed down to ears that are open does not change. What is crucial to continued evolution is to understand that despite the essential simplicity of wisdom, we must remain open and be ready to acknowledge our own fallibility. Neither Nietzsche, nor Evola, nor Jung knew our truth, it remains to be striven for. There is no End, only a path. Persevere.
Ive suffered all my life and nothing good came of it just depression 😊
Sorry to hear that and I hope you are ok, but you need to use that to motivate you. suffering is subjective I know, You don’t know how strong that has made you.
If you think you suffered enough, then you should strive for comfort. Although I think that suffering is worth striving for, I don't believe it applies to everybody.
You know what Jung said about depression
I think Nietzsche glorifies suffering instead of putting it in its proper place.
suffering is distasteful. whether you eventually become a better man from it, it will never feel good.
the children working in the lithium mines of Congo, the woman who is raped at some alley in Mumbai, the slave laborer at a construction site in the UAE, the people of Gaza bombarded every day are all suffering. But what benefit is their suffering? what Beauty are they going to acquire after their ordeal?
suffering should be put in its proper place. suffering for the sake of suffering is meaningless.
suffering is only worthwhile if it is meaning full and a lot of suffering in this world isn't
I agree. But I think Nietzsche was speaking from a place of when suffering is inevitable and avoidable, what do you do? Love it. Use it. Channel into something beautiful.
Maybe not seek it out, but life has plenty of it already
@@iamKristianBellto love suffering is antithetical to it’s purpose. Suffering isn’t something to be glorified it’s something to learn of as to how to avoid it for yourself and future generations. In nature suffering is hunger, injury, illness things we evolve to avoid or deal with more effectively. And if suffering is a byproduct it is usually to prevent a greater amount of it.
@@ruthlessjones8220 "it’s something to learn of as to how to avoid it for yourself and future generations" Looks like people here do not learn even explaining, thats sad. Only live and experience make some people to know.
I live best whenever I pick myself up by the bootstraps and do something creative. It has also become incredibly important to stop commiserating. I've noticed that of all preoccupations, that's the thing that people cling to the most. People love being around completely brainless, miserable people. Also the path of creativity is a solo path, and you have to get into a comfortable situation so you can deal with the solitude, only then will it bring people to you out of their own misery!
Great job with the video, man! Good structure, use of art, storytelling, and making these old ideas relevant to today's world. Keep up the good work!
Brother, a meaningful life does not need to be filled with hardship and misery. Stop misleading the people. Don’t be lazy, don’t be reckless - and overly ambitious, be balanced.
Equality would allow us to push forward, just because we suffered more in the past does not mean it was all for nothing. Those people that were forced to suffer persistently had future generations in mind, nobody who is authentically human wishes their children to endure suffering. Happiness is strength too. Happiness is how we connect with others, it’s how healthy relationships are built. Its how love is created. With love we fulfill our real purpose, to build towards a more utopian society. It may never be reached completely, but that’s what it’s all for.
15:35 Nietzsche also said 'conviction' not believe is the most dangerous thing to have. Brother choosing a partner can mean being kind and loving towards her not your version of a 'high class's friend. What do we bring to the table 👍❤ love your video my friend Christian
this is the best video i have watched on the topic so far
Thank you Kristian! This was a fantastic video! I especially liked how you used the clips from Batman Begins when Bruce was in the jail cell. It shed new light on something I overlooked.
I’ll be buying your book good sir. Thanks again!
Thank you sir!
This is so stupid
Suffering does not make one beautiful. A hobo on the street trying to make ends meet everyday, a third world kid that has no parents and has to get by by doing a life of crime until they can be old enough to work more legit is not "beautiful".
Even if these people become successful there is nothing majestic or beautiful about it, its just plain sad and humbling.
Well they have to do those things to stay alive, I am not sure you really paid attention while watching this video.
Ok, the last man. Go seek some comfort
It is not so much the avoidance of suffering that is the problem, but more so finding something worth suffering for in a world totally devoid of meaning.
Embracing the suck is what we called it in the Army
Growing up i kind of enjoyed going through pain. Like i loved it. During PE classes I was known as the guy who loved "torture" (honestly, i might have loved the feeling of superiority and the praise i got from the coaches more, idk.)
When i turned 18, i got my 1st phone. Don't think too much about why i got a phone so late as a Gen Z. I grew up in a 3rd world country and my parents didn't see a phone as something a child needs to have. And honestly, they were right, but went about it the wrong way because when i did get the phone, I became ADDICTED, and i still am on some level, but far less than before.
As i became more addicted, i started consuming a lot of political content mostly leftist content and I became what most people call a "soy boy". I stepped out of that space in late 22 and during my recovery, i feel shame for betraying my past self.
It feels so hard to gain back my own mentality and energy back (or better). I was honestly much more powerful as a child, i was introverted but never anxious, and brave when i needed to be.
I've been chasing that version of me lately and this video helped realize that i need to stop chasing my own shadow. I need to re-invent myself and build my strength from my current foundation. Thanks a lot, man.
I'm really tired of being weak.
I love hearing your view on things. Thanks.🙏
Thank you,really your channel is the beacon of hope in my life that has been dark for really long.
I ripped out an infected ingrown toenail the other day. There was much suffering, therefore it was beautiful. Also a trash can wasn’t around, nor was anyone else, I was feeling lazy, so I just kinda ate it. Ennobling beauty, in that moment I was more god than man. Nietzsche would’ve approved.
....don’t eat your nails...that’s dumb not tuff..and get some antiseptic on the area where the ingrown nail was.Nail infections can be stubborn to heal.From an old guy.
Sounds like Nietzche never experienced Chronic Pain
Quite the opposite. He lived in it. Had crippling migraines and nausea his whole life
This isn't about you. You don't belong on this earth, but under it.
I've just watched your video, and guess what? I bought your book right away (and the extra chapter too).
I'm going through tremendous changes in my life, and I think your book will help me understand this process better.
Thank you !!!
🙏
Nice narrative voice to as well. Relaxing, easy on the ear. Keep spreading truth. 🫶🏾
Nietzsche drove himself crazy
The Van Gogh of philososophy. Tormented Artistry.
U might be right although it might have been from his bad health conditions that he had too
Or we are the crazy ones.
Sounds like Cope meant to prevent nihilism.
Everything in the world is cope. Marriage is cope, bearing children is cope, sports is a cope - what is not a cope? Are we simply living to die or do we die to live?
@@ItsShahed17 u right, I suppose it would depend on the perspective. I know when I was younger, I lived and did things not as a reaction to existential challenges but more as a journey of self discovery and connection with the world.
Great video. Please keep them coming.
It take pride in pushing the boundaries of sanity and ability
Self domestication of the human species made civilization work. If we were the wolves (cavemen) we would live a simple and dangerous life, but we would have never conquered the world nor invented the very technology this video is created with. (Which would be ok tbh).
It is scientifically proven that domesticated animals are much more intelligent than their wild counterparts, because of their higher social learning capability. Don't let the wolf inside you die, but sometimes the smart and cooperative dog runs the world.
No thanks, I‘d rather not take myself so seriously that I become a walking mental meltdown.
Personally, I think the greatest glory and ultimate freedom is to be able to choose which and how much struggle and discomfort I want to take part in. But yeah, being lonely and away from the roaches is absolutely a gift.
Without pain the comforts of this life become less enjoyable even sleep, becomes worth it after you given your all.
I gave myself a 30-day challenge to give my all in everything as if I was going to die, and I am on day two, and I must say the way of my life is worth it.
Following in ways of noblemen is the only path I have picked, and I am willing to die for it!
This video is intellectually reckless and takes the work of Nietzsche more than once out of it's context. The classical suffering is something totally different as the modern version of it. You also ignore the complicated contemporary context of the post industrial revolution and capitalism and replace it with a decor set up with images of deadbeats (weed smoking, gaming, lying on the sofa). In that way you ignore a very controlling, dominant cultural setting and take it all out (symptomatically) on the individual. It bothers me that this feels like a selfhelp video for potsmokers and would be more powerful if it would criticize our culture more in depth.
Also, try to define what suffering is: would you use the same selfhelp-vocabulary (and imagery of bearded muscled men) of for people with serious conditions as PTSD? A woman who got gang-raped? Sorry for my strong language. Besides making a few valuable points. I think sharing reflections on 'suffering' and talking about it in a philosophical context could be done with more care.
I feel sorry for the people in the comments thanking you, the way the adres you as 'bro or dude' is another hint of sadness.
Dear bro's and dudes, you still have a long way to go...
It’s a UA-cam video it doesn’t have to be a perfect philosophy paper, I am glad that we have people expressing their views in a more casual way. I don’t see why the pictures of guys smoking weed detract from the main point of the video. If you want to blame society or the individual it isn’t totally relevant as we are talking about suffering not the cause of it. And I do think this message could still be applicable to someone with ptsd or someone who is “gang raped” as acceptance and a positive outlook don’t hurt.
@@Johnnyappl3seed63I understand your perspective, and I'm glad to offer another viewpoint to keep the discussion from becoming too rigid.
Suffering can also lead you to hide behind a truly ridiculous moustache.
