You speak the truth my friend. In my older age, I have come to detest the big house and all the things we fill our lives with. We think these things will bring us happiness, but they actually make us unhappy, and add stress and fear in our lives. Dr. Francis Schaeffer said the bankrupt values of the west are personal peace and affluence. My dream - a small minimalist cabin in the middle of the woods, away from the stimulus overload in society. When I am able to go for long, quiet walks through the woods, I have such peace. I often times don't want to return.
I’ll be 36 soon, and I have recently started changing my life almost completely around. I massively reduced my alcohol intake (small amounts of single malt only), began intermittent fasting, eat healthier, began exercise again, came off almost all social media, turn the tv off, getting more sleep, learning a new language. Just these simple things have completely altered my life, outlook and behaviour. And your 2 channels have been an incredibly large part of that transformation. Thank you Ralfy
If I switched off my computer for a day I would be stressing about all the stuff I will need to catch up on...including youtube videos telling me to shut off my computer 😭
The modern System we live in is very stimulating, look at 24hr Supermarkets, 24hr Petrol Stations, where I live the M6 motorway is busy at 4am in the morning! The trouble with stimulation it can easily turn into stress for some people.
Just got made redundant Wednesday Ralfy so this video is very welcome. 120 people lost their jobs. Offshored to India. Anxiety and stress ensued. Didn't really sleep that night. Anyway going to make a life change. Hopefully it works out. Staying positive but it is a bit scary. Wish me luck. Adam from Sydney.😀
@@fitterphilosophy re-reading that book currently. It's an amazing piece of work indeed. Wondering how someone with such a political position which without any doubt was rived by dirt, was able to write such a text which seems completely separated from the evil components of the Roman empire, components such as slavery, persecution of Christians etc etc. Those components were seen by many as completely 'normal' without any doubt, in short, the typical tendencies of 'the human', which are present wherever the human animal is, no matter what culture. Best regards 🙏

. . . Good luck. When a door closes, another opens. It just takes time.
Amazing video again! You inspire me a lot sir. Any book recommendations?
