A meaningful life is not bifurcated between winning and losing, between, making it all the way and making it none of the way, between success and failure. A meaningful life is about making an effort toward being happy and being a successful as you want to be. Obviously there are those who win the gold medal and there are those who don't win any medal but they were in the race. It is the subject of life and I'm only at 53 minutes 54 seconds into your video.
39:17: _"Pushkin's version ... popularized in the movie ... ?"_ 1. This is a thingie, an object observed through the glasses of a poet, that produces some drama, then reinterpreted through the glasses of a film director ... Could we skip all the glasses and observe the factual object instead of dancing verbal ballet around and make dramatical gestures? 2. Only Russians care about Pushkin. If the meaning of *his* life was drama, then he was very successful.
What a bunch of hogwash! The measure of your "meaning" is not *_success_* or impressing other humans or anything like that. It is if you feel that you have achieved something when your end is near.
This seems like it’s from a different series as the other lectures on the playlist. Does it cover the same content?
