      “The Ayenbite of Inwyt -also Aȝenbite (Agenbite) of Inwit; literally, the "again-biting of inner wit," or the Remorse (Prick) of Conscience is the title of a confessional prose work written in a Kentish dialect of Middle English.” - Wikipedia. I had to figure out the phrase missing from your quote of what he said, as he is a treasure trove of well-articulated wisdom. Perhaps others will also delight in finding this gem. Thank you for your uploads and the beautiful accompanying music, a sublime combination.

      This excerpt stood out the most to me too.... even in the most abstract philosophizing, Terence always brings things back to ground level, to the reality we actually face. We can never have closure, there's no theory that will ever explain satisfactorily what's going on around us, but somehow the experience itself of the plants, indescribable, gives us what we need.

    Knowing your impermanence brings you to authenticity, that puts words to why I have always felt desperately trapped by even good full time jobs while everybody else just happily carries on until retirement.

    • @moonwatch7963
      @moonwatch7963 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It depends what kinds of drugs and what kinds of antidepressants - some antidepressants change the way the drugs work, some enhance it, some make them not work, some can be dangerous (eg serotonin syndrome). If you don't have to take antidepressants, then don't take them, they are bad for your soul. I'm forced to against my freewill take antipsych med, but I wouldn't if I wasn't being forced to though.
