It’s easy to forget that everyone else is living their own individual lives just as real as ours
Yep, its too easy to fall into our own hell, rather than get out there helping everyones little heaven
Sonder
Oh I think about it constantly and it makes it harder to hate people but also I overthink everything
What do you mean? Aren't you all just NPCs, going around randomly?
@@Miki_Naz *we. Seriously everyone including me is an NPC to someone else what even is consciousness
*This is literally the reason why we should all be kind to one another*
Its so hard sometimes tho
Really simplistic view. Kindness can get you killed.
@@johnholland2825 so can unkindness, so can breathing, so can not being killer
your profile pic haunts me

“We judge others by their actions while we judge ourselves by our intentions.”
💯
Sadly true‼️
Existentially, we should all be judged by our actions.
Love this
Wow I never heard that one. Very powerful thanks.
“Everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind always.”
Jazmine Gallego yeah but most people even are aware but still
Are over shawdowed by there own past trauma and experience and say your problems aren’t as big ass theirs because theirs are over shadowing them
I Love Dannie True
Being kind unfortunately ugly very effective for me
Let's all comment our struggles so others can help
I can't come out...
@@jakobbomber9385 have you come out yet?
Sonder- the realization that every passersbyer has a story, with a life vivid and complex as your own
ok Mr. Vsauce
shy bound Hey don’t be mean
I remind myself of this all the time. It's too easy to stay in our own heads and pretend we're the only ones having this vivid experience called life

Crazy how everyone thinks “I have got so many problems” forgetting everyone does.
I'd rather my first world problems then struggling to get water everyday.
I used to be like this too, I feel like such a bad person, I’m trying to change but hell I’m screwing it up
@@notxmany6273 keep going man trust me change isn't easy or fast but it's worth it in the long run to change for the better
That's cool. But my story is more important
what i got from this: everyone's lives suck
underrated comment xd
Life isn’t about being happy. It’s about living and overcoming
Lmfaoooo
Yeah we should just end this misery.
@@Eyy98976 the entire meaning of life is to enjoy it bruh what tf is ur mindset
"the collector had nothing particularly going wrong in his life at the moment, but was however generally miserable"
I feel attacked
Ikr
Nihil that kinda freaked me out honestly
i FeEl AtTaCkEd
it's not a conclusion, rather a circumstance. There's a difference :D.
I sometimes sit in my room for hours re-thinking the interactions I’ve had that day and what these people who fell into my life have been through. There’s so many possibilities, it keeps my brain busy and my heart tender
LOL! Exactly. That is why I never get bored.
“Everyone’s the protagonist of their own story”
most of the time i feel like the antagonist in my own life because I tend to believe things are my fault. I'm miserable yay :P
@@malaikagomes2197
This is why I always advocate for empathy, which I think everyone deserves.
Takura Buysse ♥️
You don’t need empathy especially if no one showed you it in life.....
You can’t empathize with people you know nothing about, but you can treat them with human decency.
@Michael P they're probably having a bad day or are currently in a bad situation
Except: Gaddafi, Mugabe, Kim Jong-un and Osama Bin Laden, who you imperial racists love to hate.
That’s why every time I go out, I try to be as nice and polite as I possibly can to strangers. Because everyone is dealing with something and everyone is struggling through the grueling reality that is life.
“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a great battle.” Philo of Alexandria
“Everyone believes they are the hero of their own story.”
Yet some don't realize they're the villain of someone else's
These all seem like Fight Club with Edward Norton narrating. Am I the only one? ;)
Hmm
Fancy seeing you here
The 2nd Agreement: “Don’t take anything personally.”
Thank you for this video. Lately, I've been caught up in petty things in my life. I've had a rich life of 68 years, I'm still working full time, survived stage 4 cancer 16 years ago, and so much to look forward to. Again, thank you.
The most sensible thing I've come across on TH-cam is this video... Appreciate it
The vibe you gives off goes around trust me. Trust him.
Remember to always be nice, you don't know most people, even if you think you know them. You don't know how your words can influence them, you don't know how your words can change peoples minds. So instead of saying something bad and make things worse, be nice. It costs you nothing, but it can save lifes.
such a good comment.
What a blessing to have this channel. 👍🏻
The voice and the creativity for the story itself... just amazing. 👍🏻💥
Everyone’s fighting their own personal battles so be nice it’s really important to understand that no matter how perfect someone’s life is they are fighting thro something
And sometimes, it goes into "My pain vs. your pain" scenario.
I am in love with these videos.
We go about our lives as if we are the only ones who matter. So easily we forget or even refuse to see that other people are experiencing things that we have no idea of. I am guilty of this. If someone I don't know is rude to me, I automatically go to the worst possible senerio, not thinking they could be in pain.
please be nice people, even when you're having a bad day - you never know what wars people are going through in their own life
Fighting you.
6 minutes and 30 seconds of my time is equal to a subscriber for you and a change in my attitude.
Sonder: the concept that every strangers life is as complex as your own
I like to see life that way, whenever I encounter a mean or unpleasant stranger I just assume they’re having a bad day, even on the road if someone cuts me off I say to myself that they didn’t mean to or maybe they’re in a rush to go to a very important meeting or to the hospital or whatever it is.. if someone is driving really slow I imagine they are carrying a new born baby and are extra careful.. whatever the situation is I try and always see the positive, staying a but naiv, I know life isn’t all rainbows and sunshines but it helps me put a positive attitude and like my coworkers always say I help those around me feel better and forget their struggles for a second, you attract what you put out!
thanks for reminding me about the hellscape of endless suffering we all live in
This is why i dont tell anyone about my problems. I dont want my friends, family, coworkers having to deal with my issues on top of their own
It really makes sense that why it is said that a random act of kindness can create ripples.
Have a good day
Chain reactions like these go on every day, not as fluidly as this but they do exist. And the good thing is, if you make somebody feel good, it starts a chain reaction too. Especially if you deal with somebody nicely who's going to meet lots of people (like a boss or a cashier or a policeman), your small spark of happiness can light a thousand more lights. Whoever you make sad or happy, you shade or light up their social circle. If not in the moment, you definitely will in the long run. Happiness comes from inside strong people and it trickles down to the energy suckers, young people, old people, dominated people, weak people. Be a source of happiness. Don't wait for it to transpire from others, find it within yourself.
if i get stressed by delinquent drives i admit i get the feeling of frustration start to bubble. but instead of letting it sway my mood i just start saying the word positive and throw invisible balls at all the drivers. it feels so much better idk how it friggin works but it does.
What is even more tragic... you reap what you sow.
Probably everything that ever happened to us are either consequences of our own doing, or our predecessors.
Short story short. Everyone was having a bad goddamn day.
Everyone goes things in life. You never know what a stranger is dealing with when interacting with them.
You never know what kind of personal battle someone may be waging. Please be kind Always
The last person in a chain of casual impoliteness, decided to do something different, as compared to all the other characters, and that was to break the vicious cycle of hostility and impoliteness.
Sometimes i feel sad because of curiosity that i have, the fact that i know that i can't get to know everyone out there that walks in the same ground as me. A bunch of decent beings with their own complicated life. Getting into their circle and form friendships with them, knowing their struggle and participate in their lives because there is just so many of us and that i only have a limited set of time on this earth left that i couldn't possibly see or witness everything that i wanted. Then there comes the realization that i have a life i need to take care of, that i feel insignificant about, that may not even matter at all in the grand scheme of things. In the end everyone is just a mere shadow in each one's life.
That was great. It reminded me of being in an airport in a foreign country, all tired and disoriented, then going through immigration, and the officer is obviously not in a good mood, and she says a bunch of stuff rapidly in English but with the heavy accent of her native language. Then she is dismayed that I didn't understand her well, though that must happen a lot.
This man just exposed everybody in the fucking world
I recently found your channel and love your content. Thanks for making these awesome videos
Another thing: don’t invalidate other people’s problems or your own just because someone has it better or worse than you. Comparing their problems to yours and making it a competition will not make anything better. In the end, there is no way to determine who suffers more, so don’t judge people based on what they go through.
I don't ever see people look at is as a competition, so I'd infer that that's how it goes in your school/local area - verify my theory please, I wanna know if I'm right or wrong.
I’m going to try and be nicer to everyone, these videos always get to me.
I really appreciate your videos, man.
I’m more cynical and jaded these days, Since I was young I always realised that there is a complexity and nuance to every single person out there, so always would make effort to be kind and understanding, but given the chance people will roll over you for it 100% of the time, it’s nice to be idealistic and naive, but at the end of the day we’re animals and we are programmed to dominate for status in the group be it friendship, work, family or society, so my advice is recognise the complexity of others...and stop caring for it and utilise it for advantage because it’s the game for all of us, at the end of the day you only have your subjective experience, pain is only real to you, try to avoid it as much as possible
Life’s too short to be taken too seriously
That's why i stay home alone all the time loving my own company and keeping all my negativity to myself and they say “why don't you socialize?"
That is the only reason why I don't like to lash out despite getting the heat from someone's else coz of their bad day.
Though it hurts and makes me hesitant to go near the same person again.
It's a shame people need a reminder to realise others also live a life.
The cheesy quote, "There's a reason for everything" applies heavily in this context.
It's my personal mantra I tell myself whenever I feel wronged.
The Hidden Story of every Person is found in the Inner-Self of the Person.We all have an Inner-Self and
it is the Inner-Self that guides us through our Journey in Life.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
Each of the people in this story don't truly relate to the others in it, except for the last guy. They are relating to stories created in their own minds, unable to see that their thoughts and expectations are mental projections based on self, not upon actually knowing another person. Caught in the belief that what their minds eye says is an accurate gauge of reality they're blind to the truth that their imagined tormentors are just as trapped in their illusions of reality as they are.
This made me cry.
I wish more people realized the theme of this video. If we could be these other people that we're impatient with just long enough to understand why they are the way that they are then I think we would all be a lot nicer to each other. Most of my days are shit lately and I do my best not to pass it on. These videos help and these shit days are what make the good ones so good- I/we need these shit days. The shit days have their place, we need them and I'm saying this in the midst of a shit day. I've been on medication that makes the shit days go away, but also the wonderful ones and living in the middle, without the ups and downs is way worse than the ups and downs. I hope that today is one of those wonderful days for anyone reading this :) but if not, if you're having a shit day, you're building the balance for the next great days that you have. Take care folks and... shit again!
You don’t know anyone’s stories. I try to remember this when someone is a jerk
Sometimes we are super tired or stressed out.
That escalated quickly...
All of our actions directly effect others
When you ask your crush but got rejected, and her hidden secret was she traumatized with an ugly face like me, because in the childhood she got bullied by some ugly bastard.
A way I calm myself when I feel stupid and worthless is to tell myself that I'm not the centre of the world. Most affective antistress
My belated grandfather always said: "Kindness costs nothing."
It's real simple folks, just treat everyone the way you want to be treated. 😘
Break the chain. Choose to be happy
Your narration style reminds me of the beginning of the film Magnolia
We all think the world revolves around ourselves. We confuse our life situation with Life.
Moral of the story,life is what you make of it and nobody gives a fuck.
Thank you. This really helped.👍
This reminds me of This is Water by David Foster Wallace. Definitely recommend it if you haven’t seen it
You can do something angrily, or you can do something happily. Either way, you're still getting the job done.
sadness turned to anger 😞
I love reading these when I'm contemplating suicide, it helps make me feel not alone in my misery
We are all the same kind of sadness I get it
Not everyone is just having a bad day. Some are just plain rude and nasty by nature.
I searched for months looking for this video, it's one of the best videos on the internet. whenever I have a bad day at work I always think of this video. It's a relief for me to finally find it. it just reminds me that eventually everyone will have a bad day or week and everything will be okay
U got me dude. My heart
I guess that just means that we should think before we act.
Its good to sonder once in a while
I shouldn't have been tempted to think that any of this was funny, but all I could imagine was the and extra story at the end:
"Then, the driver went home to his apartment in Brooklyn, and the street parking was $1.50. He then looked to the sky, and cursed the heavens.
Then, with this being the camel that broke the camel's back, the heavens were having a really bad day having everyone curse them the whole time.
So only for a moment, the heavens let go of the moon, and 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙬𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙛𝙩𝙝 𝙜𝙚𝙖𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙤𝙣, 𝙞𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙘𝙧𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙀𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙝, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙣?
...𝙞𝙩'𝙨 𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙏𝙬𝙤- 𝙞𝙩'𝙨 𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙏𝙬𝙤 𝘽𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨, 𝙏𝙬𝙤 𝙪𝙝-, 𝙞𝙩'𝙨 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙙 𝙏𝙬𝙤 𝘽𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨"
Lol, nice👌
I like to think that as each one of us dies we will get to see it all through the eyes of our ancient wise spirit. I hear that it will be so funny we will laugh and laugh. Maybe we'll chuckle throughout eternity every time we think about it 😅
I always think about this on the train, imagining little life stories about all the passengers around me, what’s going on in their lives, if they’re healthy and happy, if they’re having a good day. Living in London everyone can seem in a rush, impatient and slightly irritable or even miserable but really they’re just humans
I could think about things like this for hours.
It will take our entire lives remembering concepts like these always, to truly lead a great life.
I'm with you ...This is some deep philosophy
Michiko pfp^
Same here tbh
Stop thinking, start living.
There's a quote that goes "If we knew the secret history of our enemies, we would find in them enough sorrow and suffering to disarm all hostility" and I often think about this all the time
You might actually loathe them all the more.

Thank you BlockRapist123, very cool!
Thats actually so thought provoking tbh

"People aren't against you. They're for themselves."

Everyone has problems so at the very least, try being nice.
yeah... NOT against you...
..at your expense... for "themselves"...?
Not mutually exclusive. A lot of people are for themselves and do it at other people’s expense. Nevertheless a valuable message about everyone having shit going on in their individual lives. Still tho...
This pandemic is a pretty good example. non one expects anyone to sacrifice their well being, buuut some people take reasonable self preservation to an extreme level and hoard and OD on supplies because they’re “for themselves”.
D L
So I got just a lil carried away typing this cause I’ve spent so much time thinking about all this lately, just some shit I got into but it’s def worth reading..
So I literally realized that shit while playing a battle royale game.. kept losing in what could be considered unlucky ways n I was pissed, for most of life I used to feel like life is out to fuck me over so naturally I’d feel like that when some unlucky shit happens, then the realization just fuckin bodyslams me like “naw, these people are people too, living their own lives. They’re not just tryna fuck me over, they don’t even know who I am. It’s not that anyone else wants me to lose, it’s that they want to win for themselves, because just like me, they’re an at least somewhat normal fuckin person and they’re playing the game, they want to win.” Same in life. nobody else (for the most part) wants you to lose, it’s that they don’t want to win. We playing COD, I don’t necessarily want u to lose but I’m tryna win so I’m gon kill your ass 😂 same in life. The reason lots of bad shit happens to you is, hear me out. It’s not because you are you, but it’s because of who you are, if that makes any sense. You can’t change anything associated with you without changing who you are because what you do and have IS ultimately an extension of who you are regardless of what the religious people may tell you. Sayyyy Idk you always have shitty relationships. Girls seem to lose interest in you after a while of being in a relationship and they leave you. This is literally LIFE FEEDBACK telling you that that is the kind of person you are. You get into relationships with girls n they lose interest and leave you. So IF you want to CHANGE that YOU need to become the kind of person that girls DONT lose interest in. Here’s the thing, I wouldn’t say life is a game, (life is life but of course don’t take it too seriously) but things work how they work and whether you believe it or not, everything is (everything works) exactly the way it’s supposed to. Of course there are situations that really shouldn’t be, but that’s how it’s supposed to be. Meaning you have to be accepting to change, if you’re trying a certain way to do something and it’s not working it’s NOT because you are you, it’s because if you want to create a certain outcome or result, the way you are trying to do it just is not the way to do it, that’s not how it works. So this is why I disagree with people that are like “just throw shit at the wall n hope it sticks”, just a little bit of digging into the principles of whatever you’re tryna do you would’ve figured out that that shit wouldn’t have stuck without even throwing it. Keep in mind I said principles of how the game works, not everyone’s opinions of their perceptions of why it should work the way they think it should. I’m talking the core principles of how the shit really works.
Anyway, If you want to change anything in your life, think about it. You have to change who you ARE. Like if you wanna become rich, or fit, or great at a hobby or anything, any kind of change you want, you have to change yourself, you have to become the kind of person you want to be. Put it this way. A person that is a shitty fortnite player isn’t gonna win any matches regardless of how bad they may want it. They have to become a great fortnite player, (which does stem from the desire of wanting to win matches), then they’ll win matches. see what I’m getting at? But the person losing matches loses em because of WHO THEY ARE, BECAUSE they are a shitty player. But the dud who’s WINNING em, it’s cause he’s a good player, it’s cause of WHO HE IS. So basically, ultimately, who you ARE does create your life. Someone who doesn’t make a lot of money, can’t make a lot of money. They have to become someone that CAN make a lot of money, aka learning about money and how to earn a lot of it, and then they can make a lot of money. The way life works is fair, but shit still ain’t fair. Cause yea, shit works how it works regardless of who you are or how you might think it works, but still, you just got a bigass advantage over the next guy that didn’t just read all this shit and doesn’t know, right? Here’s the cold truth, “life”doesn’t want you to lose. But it doesn’t want you to win either. It doesn’t give a fuck whether you become the most successful person on earth or whether you get hit by a fuckin bus when you’re 7 years old. It doesn’t fuckin care. reality is how it is regardless of who you are, the game works how it works regardless of what you think, what you believe, or what you think you believe. U gotta get that, and also, the past is the past, live for the moment. Don’t like the moment? Change it, change yourself, change your life.
Good talk, peace and prosperity, stay woke.
Spread this around?
This really makes me re-think how I treat people
you normally disrespect other people?
Shane Shrimp no, but at times I admit I can be rude without understanding what’s going on in (insert person) life
me too
This is enough for that?
Uhh. Okay.
@@Christian--- It's really interesting how you can make someone rethink his life decisions\behaviour\mindset\etc by giving them something that provokes the thought process. Giving yourself food for thought is essential.
There's a word for this.
Sonder - The profound feeling of realizing that everyone, including strangers passed in the street, has a life as complex as one's own.
Thank you 😊
Not necessarily complex. There are some pretty simple people out there. Their lives are probably as complex as their brains
i feel this all the time when im driving its weird
Thank You
im in CDL school im trying to become a garbage truck driver....and so today i drove a straight truck for the first time in the road. So the red light comes up i stop...im also learning manual for the first time...so when the light turned green the truck stall....i let go of the clutch too fast and the break. This guy behind me beeps at me and starts to yell he drives in front of me and is yelling at me....the truck says "driving school student" ...so i think umm he cant read or what but than i think that dude must be going through something in his life so i just keep going...trying to practice the truck lol as my instructor in the passenger seat.

You know what would be cool and interesting? A movie that begins with one person as the main character and it always switches person like in this video. Bunch of different perspectives and stories to tell.
Vantage Point.. there.. but its a repetitive acts with various perspective, not a continuous story.. but the story progresses in time
hmm yeah, i do see a lot of flaws with the idea, but something simular with a number of main characters, maybe 4/5? Like a friendgroup of teens who experiences different emotions and reactions to the things that are happening to them. Or a squad of elderly people running away from their retirement home or something haha. Different perspectives and backgrounds to the characters. You get to see their reactions and thoughts very clearly like in this video and you see the consequences of their actions
There's a music video that shows different perspectives but it's not 100% of you were saying. It's by Joyner Lucas- Keep it 100

Moral of the story: We live in a world where most people are generally unhappy or miserable. So a single act of random kindness wouldn’t hurt every now and then. Because we all tend to be a little selfish and controlled by our emotions.
not most what the hell
@@slimsauu389 nah, it is most.
This is why people should just stop giving birth all together. Idc if this ends humanity, we are all just too unhappy in this hell.
Many people show acts of kindness with the expectation of something in exchange.
@@joshuah345 Lmao have you lived in other countries or societies or at least studied them? Do you have enough money to travel the world enough to be able to confidently claim that "all" of humanity is this unhappy or are you just judging *all* of humanity based on the general population in your local area? Anyone who generalizes humanity just based on the people around them are undoubtedly ignorant so i hope you aren't one of them.

@Intelligently Stoopid I think in the capitalist world we live in where everyone is selfish and self-centered, that one liner has relevance. When someone does a bad thing to you, you decide it's normal to do a bad thing to others because that's how others treat you... hence this statement is telling you to not follow such destructive behaviour.
@Intelligently Stoopid It's funny, you might be the person that's different here going against 239 likes as of now. Yes, it's somewhat a platitude but it's true in a way. However you expose a paradox I think! On the one hand we need difference to make a change in something that's stagnant or stays the same. On the other hand, we benefit in following a laid out structure of success. And being different can either trap you or make you stand out in a good way. It's hard to navigate.
not one of these again...

Fancy seeing you here.
It’s a chain reaction. It won’t stop until someone strong enough rejects the urge to carry it on.
That's why I am so tempted to go anti-natalist. This suffering of life seems futile at times. Why can't we just live and live to the fullest and end this circle of life and death, misery and hopes.

filmtape I have felt this same comment many times no matter how many times I have gone out my way to be little myself to uplift some just for them to put me down
Duh
True
I have literally comforted one of my greatest enemies just to be condemned by her to hell with cancer and infertility later. It still does not help knowing she is fucked up because of her dad because my life is actually much worse than her. Therefore it is now almost impossible to feel sympathy towards people and even if I am sorry for someone, I just remind myself that he or she is an asshole anyway.
Life is just a competition of "who is more fucked". I want out and to never return.
I recently had a huge realisation that everyone has a hidden story.
A few months ago, I went on a cruise. On cruises, people are generally very friendly and people of all ages and races talk to each other and make friends for the duration of the voyage. On the first night, I got talking to this lady who was more than 15 years older than me. She was really happy and bubbly people and we hit it off immediately. The banter between her and her sister, and the banter between them and me was amazing, they were constantly joking and funning and laughing. After more than an hour of talking to them, I left thinking "what amazing people, you never see anyone so happy and joyful in 2019! I wish I could be like them!"
The next day, I happened to run into her again. I noticed she had a very long scar on her arm. It turned out she had had a VERY nasty car accident just four months earlier, when another driver had jumped the lights and T-boned her. She almost died and was in intensive care for weeks, with many fractures and damaged organs. She was still in an awful lot of pain, and every day was a huge struggle for her physically and mentally. And not only this, she'd recently been divorced only a year ago. Just 2 months after her near-fatal car accident, and therefore just weeks before the cruise, her boyfriend died of a heart attack.
This lady who I once envied for being so happy, was actually going through the lowest level of HELL, and laughing and joking was her way of trying to cope with the immense physical and mental pain she was in. Every minute to her was a painful struggle not to lose the will to live. And I thought she was the happiest person I'd met in 2019.
Just goes to show, doesn't it?

Steven Power She is the happiest person, because she doesn't let sadness steal her happiness from her. Life is hard for everyone on the planet and we all have different heartaches & obstacles, but the people who are happy within themselves remain so even throughout all of these sad times.
holy shit. Thank you so much for sharing this little story.

"Arguing with a fool only proves theres two"
This is actually making me rethink an argument I had earlier today...
I'll have to keep that quote in mind.
@@jaydonelsam9455 same
how come one know whos a fool and whos not
@@awuuwa through arguing
@@northernhemisphere4906 so to know someone is a fool, you would first need to argue with them, but that would make you fool. So the only logical outcome is that, to not to be fool is not to argue at all. But I don't see how that makes any sense, how are the problems of the world supposed to be fixed if not for engaging in an argument
