"Every man is happy until happiness is suddenly a goal"
thats actually a bomb ass quote damn.
It’s the sad reality really
happiness for me is working towards a goal (and actually getting there). If I'm not constantly improving then I'm not happy.
@@user-hd4wf5gq8r What you described is what is shown in the video. You`re a fool if you believe any of it.

Thats probably true

The best part is 48M people watched it and going to perform the same script from next morning 🙏
You are just as pretentious as he is.
Sighs
Tf they supposed to do next morning then
I’m actually really happy with my script. I either drive 10 minutes to work or bike there in 30 minutes. I have a boss I like and the job is never more than 40 hours a week with no weekend work. My spouse and dog think I’m good enough company to stick with and I like where I live. I really couldn’t ask for more.
@@MaDNug. Came to say the exact same thing dude
I have watched it many times, and everytime it gets deeper. This is a true masterpiece.
XD it's basically a whole explanation on how society works.
Not all that deep. The Bible has been professing this message for centuries
This is perfect matrix definition 🥶
I could answer your message like this but... eu vi seu nome e presumo que entenda perfeitamente o que escrevo agora. Não tome esta critica social superficial como uma verdade, isso pode confundir nossa mente! A felicidade está dentro de cada um, o desenho mostra o personagem sempre procurando-a no mundo, em coisas, lugares, situações e sensações. A felicidade é um estado e ela começa no momento em que voce decide entrar neste estado. Mudamos nossos olhos, mudamos nossa percepção, mudamos nossa realidade.

The incessant search for happiness, to fill the void of an entire existence
Happiness is in the moments we cherish only once they've passed.
How is it possible that we all watch this, we all agree, we all shake our heads yet we'll all get up tomorrow morning and do it all over again?
tf are we supposed to do?
Because how can a human not pursue happiness? It's within our nature to do so.
Everything we do has happiness as its goal, but unfortunately happiness is not a goal that can be reached. So life is just a never ending hunt for happiness, as it's always been for everyone.
@@leov4404 Interesting, interesting.
@@leov4404 Well i don't know about you but I experience happyness quite often. Sadness is part as life as much as happyness but its not a hunt for happynes which never gets fullfilled. Thats a bunch of poetic bullsht.
@@myfairlady343 of course you can experience some pleasures in life, but they are not happiness, or, if you will, they're just short-term happiness. So after a short while, we're still on the hunt. We're never fulfilled and we always seek more, and that's what keeps us going.
This at least is my opinion, then ofc you can call it bs how much you want
He enters the elevator and does not collect the money. "Happiness" is about chasing money, not catching it
This is the first comment I've found with the most sense.
@@kagimonji yeah we agree
I think it means that sometimes money and our goals are right within our reach but we just don't go for it until it's too late

@@Texzy21 youre wrong then
This is a masterpiece, it's so true that even the horror inside it is real, but hidden in plane sight.
My compliments to the chef
I find myself coming back to this every once in a while. Absolute masterpiece.
I love the part in the elevator showing that it's not about getting the money, but the illusion of chasing it
That's a really good way of seeing it
I figured it was just for a bit of comedy.

The thing I fear the most in life, is getting caught in an ordinary 9 to 5 job, and realizing on my deathbed that I wasted this life.
becareful what you fear because your fears can become a reality if held for long enough
Don't be stuck doing the same job year after year.
When I get bored with work every 2 to 3 years I move to something else.
Dont be a slave to the same employer try different things.
Then make sure it doesn't happen. What are your true goals for the next five years?
Yes. This is my biggest fear too. And you know what? It manifested in my life as a paranoia.. inability to hold a job, money problems, entrepreneur dreams, desperately seeking something but never finding it. Until I found a way out.
Too bad welcome to America
I love this so much! I spent about an hour looking at every detail. There is so much to take in that you don't see on the first time watching. I wish I could see this in 4k without compression. I love all of the little signs and Easter eggs. You did an amazing job! Beautiful work!

“The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.” -Socrates.
To further that point, I believe it was Socrates who explained that the more intense the pleasure, the worse the pain afterwards. So in conclusion, the 'ideal' life is to not overindulge in pleasure, so that you can diminish as much suffering as possible.
We get it, you watched a pewdiepie lecture video
I think it is true.who has too much are ever happy.hitler had 16 coutries but he was not satified.so he lost everything.he didnt enjoy simple things.
Dominic that is exactly what religion is for it is for having a balanced life and praying to God. and yet people thinking religion is limited your freedom. Freedom from what? All these things exhibited in the video ? True freedom is freedom from being a slavery to desires and material objects and not centering your entire life around your wealth but rather spiritual fulfillment

Truly we are not "living" a life, but just "survive"

@@mooki3162 I myself, interpreted that scene as how humans always chase money but whenever they have a real chance to actually get it, they don’t jump at the opportunity. Something similar ig, maybe they don’t SEE the opportunity instead. (I might be wrong lmao)

So many commentaries about the elevator scene being about chasing instead of getting. I felt it's simply a gag about waiting in the elevator, then returning to the chase after arrival. Tom & Jerry and Looney Toons are full of those.

If you enjoy life, then continue, if you don't, then you will need to start meditating
*Kismat ho gandu*
*To kya kareda pandu..*
brother, I am an engineer too. Please, do not feel disheartened. Happiness comes through the fact that no matter what is happening you always have a choice. Being an engineer might have been bestowed upon you but in every moment you have a choice to get out of it. Of course, you have to face the consequences of your choices but it all ends in death, no matter what you do the end state cannot be changed. Even when you die fearing hell, you won't be there to experience it, at least not as you. So how to be happy? Just change your perspective.... When you feel no stimulation, like when you are meditating......there is a type of meditation where you sit and try to feel everything, the frustration, sadness, happiness....whatever you are feeling during meditation you explore that feeling till you exhaust all the feelings to feel and you cannot feel anything further. After getting up from this kind of meditation you will welcome all sorts of experiences.... even pain......to some extent. Because the absence of any feeling is worse than bad feelings. This would not mean death is bad.....because if there is no one to feel there wouldn't be anyone to feel the absence of feeling.
It doesn't symbolize anything related to software/technology or engineering. Rather, it is an example of burden of overwork and the pursuit of materialism which causes one to be bound to one's workspace and spares one with little room to relax or enjoy.

@@dajanacoric1241 Reminded me.
Alan Watts suggests there is no ultimate meaning of life, but that "the quality of our state of mind" defines meaning for us. This is in contradiction to the notion that an inner essence is waiting to be discovered. Paying attention to the everyday, mundane objects can become highly significant, filling life with meaning.
