  • An inspirational and profound speech from the late philosopher Alan Watts.
    Original Audio sourced from: “Alan Watts - Our Self - Destructive Nature"
    Video Produced and Edited by T&H Inspiration
    “The alternative to self-love is self-destruction. Because you won’t take the risk of loving yourself properly, you will be compelled instead to destroy yourself. So which would you rather have?.”

    When you think you've got it, you don't. When you realize you don't have it at all, then you're on the way to understanding.
    When you understand that you can never have it because it's you, then by golly You've got it.

      @knoxalike1 - Considering the state of the planet, powerty, wars, famine, lack of resources, modern slavery (which stil exists to this day), dying of whole ecosystems in the name of future profits and next year stock market price, and most of all greed... I would say that the "Universe" simply doesn't care.
      All you can do is live, or try to live as best as you can, and maybe if you are lucky, grow internaly as a human being. But nothing more. Like the saying goes, at the end of the game: king and pawn go back to the same box. So make the best of it.

      ​@@tannhauser5399And the universe is doing all of this, it aways did and we aways prevailed in the end, the world is clearly materially much better than in his own time.
      If people stopped with your negative pessimistic attitude, they wouldnt do what they do anymore, pessimism drives all of this, and you necessarily cannot be pessimistic because of that.
      Suffering is illusory, problems are illusory, and this necessarily includes this feeling that they are real, but we dont realize how we are reaching at a climax where after that everything is gonna be great.
      Trust in the universe, our own values arent distinct from it and everything will be great in 10 years from now.
