WEBVTT

1
00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:03.640
<v Speaker 1>We wake up on the morning. It's cold, it's wet,

2
00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:07.040
<v Speaker 1>it's dark. You've got no cottilage in your knave. You

3
00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:12.320
<v Speaker 1>keep talking, You've got these problems, right I.

4
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:14.519
<v Speaker 2>Need you to keep talking about what you were just saying.

5
00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:17.199
<v Speaker 1>It's warm on the couch, your missus say is staying bad.

6
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:20.679
<v Speaker 1>It's comfy, it's cozy. You've got work later on. You

7
00:00:20.760 --> 00:00:22.600
<v Speaker 1>had an argument last night, you're slightly hungover.

8
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:25.760
<v Speaker 2>God, I know every motherfucker I ain't gonna do what

9
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:28.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna do. So this is how you level up.

10
00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:31.559
<v Speaker 2>I know there's a whole bunch of people with that

11
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:36.079
<v Speaker 2>right there that fires me up, that makes me fing happy.

12
00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:39.439
<v Speaker 2>What you just said that brings Jordan my life right there,

13
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:42.479
<v Speaker 2>because I know there's so many people that have the

14
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:48.679
<v Speaker 2>ability and just refuse to get off that couch, refuse

15
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:51.359
<v Speaker 2>to study a few more hours, refuse to go deeper.

16
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:51.880
<v Speaker 3>To go further.

17
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:55.880
<v Speaker 2>And that's where I gained the advantage.

18
00:00:56.320 --> 00:00:57.560
<v Speaker 4>It's so easy to be.

19
00:00:57.560 --> 00:01:00.960
<v Speaker 2>Great nowadays, my friend, because most people are weak. Most

20
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:02.799
<v Speaker 2>people don't want to go to that extra mile. Most

21
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:05.200
<v Speaker 2>people don't want to find that extra because it sucks,

22
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:10.920
<v Speaker 2>it's miserable, it's lonely. Now I've been thriving it. That's

23
00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:12.159
<v Speaker 2>the only place to be.

24
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:21.239
<v Speaker 3>Some of you in the past, you've gotten momentum, you've

25
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:27.439
<v Speaker 3>gotten passionate, you've even made a decision. But a decision

26
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:30.840
<v Speaker 3>is the first step. Decision is like a war. I

27
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:33.120
<v Speaker 3>gotta do this or that. All right, I'm gonna make

28
00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:37.920
<v Speaker 3>myself do this. But commitment is when you now, after

29
00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:41.359
<v Speaker 3>you've decided, you commit to do this for the long term.

30
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:44.719
<v Speaker 3>Whether it's hard or easy doesn't matter. You're doing this.

31
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.560
<v Speaker 3>It takes it from this moment and it carries it

32
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:52.159
<v Speaker 3>into the future, even when things are difficult and the

33
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:59.640
<v Speaker 3>third state is resolved. Resolved means it's done. It's like

34
00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.560
<v Speaker 3>it doesn't even if you took action, it's done inside you.

35
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:06.400
<v Speaker 3>So it's gone out there. There's no question whatsoever.

36
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.479
<v Speaker 5>That it's necessary for us to begin to look at

37
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:12.000
<v Speaker 5>the future. Know that it's possible that we can have

38
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:12.680
<v Speaker 5>our dream.

39
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:14.719
<v Speaker 3>Yes it is. Other people have.

40
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:16.120
<v Speaker 5>Done it, then we can do it.

41
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:17.919
<v Speaker 3>We fail a lot of times, we're a lot.

42
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:20.479
<v Speaker 5>Of other folks there, and eventually they came back.

43
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:22.560
<v Speaker 4>And they succeeded. So it's possible we can.

44
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:23.159
<v Speaker 5>Have what we want.

45
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.080
<v Speaker 4>And we know that we want to get it.

46
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:27.919
<v Speaker 5>It's necessary that we allow ourselves with people that think

47
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:28.520
<v Speaker 5>like we do.

48
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:30.680
<v Speaker 4>It's necessary we get negative.

49
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:32.919
<v Speaker 5>Do nothing people out of our lives. It's necessary we

50
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:36.280
<v Speaker 5>never stop learning and growing and developing ourselves. It's necessary

51
00:02:36.319 --> 00:02:38.280
<v Speaker 5>that we never give up. We know that it's you,

52
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:41.599
<v Speaker 5>it's me. It's being responsible for our stuff and deciding

53
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:44.240
<v Speaker 5>that we're gonna keep on keeping on, that we're gonna

54
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:46.159
<v Speaker 5>find a way to win or find a way to

55
00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:46.919
<v Speaker 5>make it happen.

56
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:49.719
<v Speaker 4>And we know it's hard. It's not gonna be a picnic. Yes,

57
00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:50.199
<v Speaker 4>it's hard.

58
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:51.840
<v Speaker 3>It's hard, and we will.

59
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:52.199
<v Speaker 4>Do it hard.

60
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:54.479
<v Speaker 5>And once it's we do it hard, we go through,

61
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:57.560
<v Speaker 5>we realize it was worth it. And once you discover

62
00:02:57.800 --> 00:02:59.919
<v Speaker 5>it was worth it, it.

63
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Is one big thing is a lot of people. It's

64
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:13.960
<v Speaker 2>hard to imagine, but you have to learn how to fail.

65
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:16.680
<v Speaker 2>I have big dreams. A lot of us have big dreams,

66
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:19.680
<v Speaker 2>big goals. And when you have goals that are maybe

67
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:23.560
<v Speaker 2>outside your reach, you have to know that getting to

68
00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:26.319
<v Speaker 2>that goal, you can have a lot of bad days,

69
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:28.800
<v Speaker 2>a lot of setbacks. So like I was losing one

70
00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:32.000
<v Speaker 2>hundred and six pounds in three months, the first two

71
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:33.919
<v Speaker 2>months or the first two weeks. It's like I was

72
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:37.280
<v Speaker 2>gaining weight. You know, I would lose a pound game two.

73
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.159
<v Speaker 2>So I was just failing. I kept failing and kept

74
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:42.919
<v Speaker 2>failing and kept failing. So I had to teach myself

75
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:45.960
<v Speaker 2>how to fail right. And what that means is when

76
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.919
<v Speaker 2>I fail, I can't spend much time in that fail zone.

77
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:52.120
<v Speaker 2>I have to be able to get up and get

78
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:54.680
<v Speaker 2>after the next day just as fast because my goals

79
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:56.680
<v Speaker 2>would you know, to be a Navy seal, I don't

80
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:59.319
<v Speaker 2>have time to stay here and feel back myself for

81
00:03:59.400 --> 00:04:02.240
<v Speaker 2>weeks and months in years, because I'll lose that time.

82
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:04.960
<v Speaker 2>So the big thing is to know that if you

83
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.560
<v Speaker 2>have big goals and big dreams along the way, failure

84
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:12.120
<v Speaker 2>is going to happen. So how fast do you get

85
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:14.319
<v Speaker 2>up from that? And you got to teach yourself that.

86
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:19.000
<v Speaker 2>But the biggest key to success in anything you do

87
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:23.399
<v Speaker 2>is you got to have an unlimited supply of fucking

88
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:28.879
<v Speaker 2>you this drive and passion, and it may come from

89
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:32.160
<v Speaker 2>nothing Like for me, there was no passion, no drive,

90
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:36.480
<v Speaker 2>no nothing, But I had this fire that I'm gonna

91
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:39.720
<v Speaker 2>be somebody and it has to be there because on

92
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:41.639
<v Speaker 2>all those bad days and all those days you don't

93
00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.920
<v Speaker 2>want to do. You have to be your own motivator,

94
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:48.319
<v Speaker 2>your own coach, you own your own trainer, your own everything.

95
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.600
<v Speaker 2>So to do that, you have to come into work,

96
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:54.560
<v Speaker 2>and work is whatever your work may be ready to go.

97
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:59.480
<v Speaker 2>And what that means is you may have failed miserably yesterday,

98
00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:01.519
<v Speaker 2>but you come to work like.

99
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.199
<v Speaker 3>People like man, you just lost everything.

100
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 2>How the hell are you just sucking damn motivated? Because

101
00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:11.360
<v Speaker 2>this is what it takes. This is what the fuck

102
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:13.600
<v Speaker 2>it takes, and you got to get it from wherever

103
00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:17.319
<v Speaker 2>you can, whether you make up this illusion of your

104
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:21.519
<v Speaker 2>life or this false reality that gets you motivated, whatever

105
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:24.759
<v Speaker 2>gets you motivated, it's going to be here at the

106
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:28.040
<v Speaker 2>tip of your brain at all times, because in those

107
00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:30.680
<v Speaker 2>dark moments, you got to pull it out. So that's

108
00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.079
<v Speaker 2>the big thing for me, Man, I was always fired

109
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:34.680
<v Speaker 2>up at all times.

110
00:05:36.399 --> 00:05:39.240
<v Speaker 6>Not just that every day more of our life is

111
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:42.000
<v Speaker 6>used up and less and less of it is left,

112
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.959
<v Speaker 6>but this too. If we live longer, can we be

113
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:50.000
<v Speaker 6>sure our mind will still be up to understanding the world,

114
00:05:50.600 --> 00:05:53.480
<v Speaker 6>to the contemplation that aims at divine and human knowledge.

115
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:57.399
<v Speaker 6>If our mind starts to wander, we'll still go on

116
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:02.120
<v Speaker 6>breathing go on, eating, imagine things, feeling urges, and so on,

117
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:06.399
<v Speaker 6>but getting the most out of ourselves, calculating where our

118
00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:11.240
<v Speaker 6>duty lies, analyzing what we hear and see, deciding whether

119
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.519
<v Speaker 6>it's time to call it quits. All the things you

120
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:18.959
<v Speaker 6>need a healthy mind for. All those are gone. So

121
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:22.120
<v Speaker 6>we need to hurry, not just because we move daily

122
00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:27.040
<v Speaker 6>closer to death, but also because our understanding, our grasp

123
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:30.800
<v Speaker 6>of the world, may be gone before we get there.

124
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:36.800
<v Speaker 6>Don't waste the rest of your time here worrying about

125
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:41.399
<v Speaker 6>other people unless it affects the common good. It will

126
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:45.720
<v Speaker 6>keep you from doing anything useful. You'll be too preoccupied

127
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:49.360
<v Speaker 6>with what so and so is doing and why, and

128
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:53.360
<v Speaker 6>what they're saying, and what they're thinking and what they're

129
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:56.720
<v Speaker 6>up to, and all the other things that throw you

130
00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.680
<v Speaker 6>off and keep you from focusing on your own mind.

131
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:03.759
<v Speaker 6>You need to avoid certain things in your train of thought,

132
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:10.759
<v Speaker 6>everything random, everything irrelevant, and certainly everything self important or malicious.

133
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:14.600
<v Speaker 6>You need to get used to winnowing your thoughts so

134
00:07:14.680 --> 00:07:18.480
<v Speaker 6>that if someone says, what are you thinking about, you

135
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:22.560
<v Speaker 6>can respond at once and truthfully that you are thinking

136
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:26.959
<v Speaker 6>this or thinking that, and it would be obvious at

137
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:31.920
<v Speaker 6>once from your answer that your thoughts were straightforward and considerate.

138
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:36.879
<v Speaker 6>Once the thoughts of an unselfish person, one unconcerned with

139
00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:42.680
<v Speaker 6>pleasure and with sensual indulgence, generally with squabbling, with slander

140
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:46.480
<v Speaker 6>and envy, or anything else, you'd be ashamed to be

141
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:51.319
<v Speaker 6>caught thinking someone like that. Someone who refuses to put

142
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:55.199
<v Speaker 6>off joining the elect is a kind of priest, a

143
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:58.480
<v Speaker 6>servant of the gods, in touch with what is within

144
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:02.120
<v Speaker 6>him and what can keeps a person undefiled by pleasures,

145
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:08.759
<v Speaker 6>invulnerable to any pain, untouched by arrogance, unaffected by meanness,

146
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:13.959
<v Speaker 6>an athlete in the greatest of all contests, the struggle

147
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:17.680
<v Speaker 6>not to be overwhelmed by anything that happens, with what

148
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:23.399
<v Speaker 6>leaves us died indelibly by justice, welcoming wholeheartedly whatever comes,

149
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:28.319
<v Speaker 6>whatever we're assigned, not worrying too often or with any

150
00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:33.519
<v Speaker 6>selfish motive about what other people say, or do or think.

151
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:37.919
<v Speaker 6>He does only what is his to do, and considers

152
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:41.600
<v Speaker 6>constantly what the world has in store for him, doing

153
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:44.919
<v Speaker 6>his best and trusting that all is for the best,

154
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:49.360
<v Speaker 6>for we carry our fate with us, and it carries us.

155
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:53.480
<v Speaker 6>He keeps in mind that all rational things are related,

156
00:08:53.559 --> 00:08:56.399
<v Speaker 6>and that to care for all human beings is part

157
00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:59.600
<v Speaker 6>of being human, which doesn't mean we have to share

158
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:04.360
<v Speaker 6>their appearinions. We should listen only to those whose lives

159
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:09.720
<v Speaker 6>conform to nature and the others. He bears in mind

160
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:12.919
<v Speaker 6>what sort of people they are, both at home and

161
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:16.559
<v Speaker 6>abroad by night as well as day, and who they

162
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.879
<v Speaker 6>spend their time with, and he cares nothing for their

163
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:26.720
<v Speaker 6>praise men who can't even meet their own standards. How

164
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:32.240
<v Speaker 6>to act, never under compulsion, out of selfishness, without forethought,

165
00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:37.360
<v Speaker 6>with misgivings. Don't gussie up your thoughts, no surplus words

166
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:41.080
<v Speaker 6>or unnecessary actions. Let the spirit in you represent a man,

167
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:46.600
<v Speaker 6>an adult, a citizen, a roman, a ruler, taking up

168
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:49.960
<v Speaker 6>his post like a soldier and patiently awaiting his recall

169
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:55.519
<v Speaker 6>from life, needing no oath or witness, cheerfulness without requiring

170
00:09:55.519 --> 00:10:00.440
<v Speaker 6>other people's help, or serenity supplied by others, to stand

171
00:10:00.519 --> 00:10:05.000
<v Speaker 6>up straight, not straitened. Nothing is more pathetic than people

172
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:08.960
<v Speaker 6>who run around in circles, delving into the things that

173
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:13.960
<v Speaker 6>lie beneath and conducting investigations into the souls of the

174
00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:17.840
<v Speaker 6>people around them, never realizing that all you have to

175
00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:21.120
<v Speaker 6>do is to be attentive to the power inside you,

176
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:26.759
<v Speaker 6>and worship it sincerely. To worship it is to keep

177
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:30.399
<v Speaker 6>it from being muddied with turmoil and becoming aimless and

178
00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:36.039
<v Speaker 6>dissatisfied with nature divine and human. What is divine deserves

179
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:40.799
<v Speaker 6>our respect because it is good. What is human deserves

180
00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:45.120
<v Speaker 6>our affection because it is like us, and our pity too,

181
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:49.399
<v Speaker 6>sometimes for its inability to tell good from bad as

182
00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:52.600
<v Speaker 6>terrible a blindness, as the kind that can't tell white

183
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:56.399
<v Speaker 6>from black. Even if you're going to live three thousand

184
00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:02.440
<v Speaker 6>more years or ten times that, remember you cannot lose

185
00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:06.120
<v Speaker 6>another life than the one you're living now, or live

186
00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:12.279
<v Speaker 6>another one than the one you're losing. The longest amounts

187
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:15.440
<v Speaker 6>to the same as the shortest. The present is the

188
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:18.919
<v Speaker 6>same for everyone. Its loss is the same for everyone.

189
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:23.000
<v Speaker 6>And it should be clear that a brief instant is

190
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:26.360
<v Speaker 6>all that is lost. For you can't lose either the

191
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:29.559
<v Speaker 6>past or the future. How could you lose what you

192
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:34.200
<v Speaker 6>don't have? Remember two things, that everything has always been

193
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:38.720
<v Speaker 6>the same and keeps recurring. And it makes no difference

194
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:41.600
<v Speaker 6>whether you see the same things recur in one hundred

195
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:45.639
<v Speaker 6>years or two hundred or in an infinite period. That

196
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:50.080
<v Speaker 6>the longest lived and those who will die soonest lose

197
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:54.360
<v Speaker 6>the same thing. The present is all that they can

198
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:57.879
<v Speaker 6>give up. Since that is all you have and what

199
00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:00.000
<v Speaker 6>you do not have you cannot lose.

200
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:09.399
<v Speaker 7>Pick up your damn suffering and bear it and try

201
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:11.879
<v Speaker 7>to be a good person so you don't make it worse.

202
00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:16.639
<v Speaker 4>Well, that's a truth, you know.

203
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:21.000
<v Speaker 7>I read a lot about the terrible things that people

204
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:24.000
<v Speaker 7>have done to each other. You just cannot even imagine

205
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:29.120
<v Speaker 7>it so awful. So you don't want to be someone

206
00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:32.000
<v Speaker 7>like that. Now, do you have a reason to be Yes,

207
00:12:33.080 --> 00:12:34.200
<v Speaker 7>you have lots.

208
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:34.720
<v Speaker 4>Of reasons to be.

209
00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:37.799
<v Speaker 7>God, there's reasons to be resentful about your existence.

210
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:40.159
<v Speaker 4>Everyone you know is gonna die.

211
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:42.559
<v Speaker 7>You know you too, and there's gonna be a fair

212
00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:44.639
<v Speaker 7>bit of pain along the way, and lots of it's

213
00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:48.039
<v Speaker 7>gonna be unfair. It's like, yeah, no, wonder you're resentful.

214
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:51.120
<v Speaker 7>It's like act it out and see what happens. You

215
00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:56.120
<v Speaker 7>make everything you're complaining about infinitely worse. There's this idea

216
00:12:56.159 --> 00:12:58.519
<v Speaker 7>that hell is a bottomless pit, and that's because no

217
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.279
<v Speaker 7>matter how bad is some stupid son of it like

218
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:03.039
<v Speaker 7>you could figure out a way to make it a

219
00:13:03.039 --> 00:13:07.000
<v Speaker 7>lot worse. So you think, well, what do you do

220
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:10.879
<v Speaker 7>about that, Well, you accept it. That's what life is like.

221
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:15.639
<v Speaker 7>It's suffering. That's what the religious people have always said.

222
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:20.200
<v Speaker 7>Life is suffering. Yes, well, who wants to admit that? Well,

223
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:22.480
<v Speaker 7>just think about it. Well, so what do you do

224
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.559
<v Speaker 7>in the face of that suffering? Try to reduce it?

225
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.639
<v Speaker 7>Start with yourself? What good are you? Get yourself together

226
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:33.919
<v Speaker 7>for Christ's sake? So that when your father dies you're

227
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:35.919
<v Speaker 7>not whining away in a corner, and you can help

228
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:39.039
<v Speaker 7>plan the funeral and you can stand up solidly so

229
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:40.480
<v Speaker 7>that people can rely on you.

230
00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:43.240
<v Speaker 4>That's better. It will be a damn victim.

231
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:49.840
<v Speaker 7>Of course you're a victim Jesus obviously, put yourself together.

232
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:52.679
<v Speaker 4>And then maybe if you put yourself together, you know

233
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:53.320
<v Speaker 4>how to do that.

234
00:13:53.399 --> 00:13:55.440
<v Speaker 7>You know what's wrong with you, if you'll admit it,

235
00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:57.879
<v Speaker 7>you know there's a few things you could, like polish

236
00:13:57.960 --> 00:13:59.799
<v Speaker 7>up a little bit that you might even be able

237
00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:02.879
<v Speaker 7>to your insufficient present condition.

238
00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:06.039
<v Speaker 4>How do you overcome the suffering of life is be

239
00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:10.440
<v Speaker 4>a better person. That's how you do it. Well, that's hard.

240
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:12.799
<v Speaker 4>It takes responsibility.

241
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:15.039
<v Speaker 7>And I think you know, if you said to someone

242
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.519
<v Speaker 7>you want to have a meaningful life, everything you do

243
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:22.440
<v Speaker 7>matters that's the definition of a meaningful life. But everything

244
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:25.200
<v Speaker 7>you do matters. It's you gonna have to carry that

245
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:28.840
<v Speaker 7>with you or do you want to just forget about

246
00:14:28.840 --> 00:14:31.600
<v Speaker 7>the whole meaning thing? And then you don't have any

247
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:34.639
<v Speaker 7>responsibility because who the hell cares? And you can wander

248
00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:38.320
<v Speaker 7>through life doing whatever you want, gratifying impulsive desires for

249
00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:41.639
<v Speaker 7>how well useful that's going to be, and you're stuck

250
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:44.159
<v Speaker 7>in meaninglessness, but you don't have any responsibility.

251
00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:48.159
<v Speaker 4>Which one do you want? Well ask yourself which one

252
00:14:48.200 --> 00:14:49.200
<v Speaker 4>are you pursuing?

253
00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:52.480
<v Speaker 7>And you'll find very rapidly that it isn't the majority

254
00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:56.919
<v Speaker 7>of your soul that's pursuing the whole meaning thing, because well,

255
00:14:56.960 --> 00:14:57.240
<v Speaker 7>look what.

256
00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:58.440
<v Speaker 4>You have to do. To do that.

257
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:01.639
<v Speaker 7>You have to take on the fact that life is suffering.

258
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:05.519
<v Speaker 4>You have to put yourself together in the face of that. Well,

259
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:06.159
<v Speaker 4>that's hard.
