My son age 23 took his life 2 weeks ago. Strangely I'd felt compelled to watch this video over and over in the weeks leading up to it. I appreciate this perspective so much, it has really helped me carry this cross and not be crushed under its weight.
I was only 18 when my dad died in 1985. I was actively doing all I could to be a part of his funeral preparation and funeral. For the next 2 years my mom was just in such deep depression that I was taking care of her and my sister who was only 8. When other guys where doing teenager stuff, I was making sure she ate right, helping her with homework, getting her clothes ready, going to see a doctor when necessary and going on parent-teachers meetings... I couldn't even imagine any other way. I was always hoping that if my dad could see me he would be happy and proud of me. As he was my true hero which I miss all my life.
God bless you for being so caring and holding it all together for your family. I'm sure all that responsibility at such a young age taught you many life lessons too, which takes most of us all our lives to learn. Your Dad would be very proud of you 🙏❤️
You’re father would be so proud of you, and I’m sure up in the pearly gates he’s smiling down at you. You’re sister is lucky to have you as a brother, and I hope you’re mom is doing well. Loss is tough. I haven’t lost either of my parents, I can’t imagine how that must feel. Know this,YOU are a god damn hero!
The audience is laughing, but Jordan is being as real as possible. You can hear the tearful heartful plea in his voice that let's you know that what he's saying is coming from the heart, and he's just hoping that someone, anyone, hears him. God bless you Dr. Peterson!
Xx BigBoss xX that’s a joke, right? What do you think the concept of grace is about? “Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast.” I was an atheist. It was through the grace of God that I found my way to Christ. He came after my heart and brought me to the Lord. Even as an atheist, God still loved me, and he was still after my heart. So don’t you dare try to say that God doesn’t bless the nonbelievers. With enough love and prayer, during our time on earth there is still hope for the nonbelievers, and God will not stop trying to go after their hearts.
I always thought the words “he saved my life” to be cliche, cult-like, and pathetic, but with Jordan Peterson i can truly say he changed my life. I was lazy, irresponsible, a victim, always blaming others for my problems, did drugs to escape reality and avoid responsibility until just a few months ago I found out who Jordan B Peterson was. Since then my life turned around for the better. He changed my life for the better, helped me face reality, helped me accept responsibility, helped me find meaning, and overall, accept that life is suffering. Not everything in life is perfect and balanced like we always hope. Chaos, tragedy, and catastrophe is right around the corner, so instead of bracing for a catastrophe we need to embrace it as a time for self-growth. I turned my chaos into order, reduced suffering, and got my life together. Thank you for everything Jordan Peterson.
Well written man!! I can hear the wisdom in your words. The more tragedy I’ve been through, the more I gravitate toward Dr. Peterson’s teachings. Little by little I also hope to make my life and other’s lives better and alleviate suffering.
That’s so wholesome! His lectures and speeches helped me out of a rut, and out of my “dark age” last year. I love this man, and his “life is suffering” mantra is now what I live by. Life is suffering, but you gotta rise to the occasion to make it better.
He comes off as an above average Lecturer but when one examines His Life Experiences in relation to what he preaches, there are little to zero facts, just his opinion at best.
@@jesusislukeskywalker4294 the flouride we get in our water is a helluva lot more sinister than just an antidepressant. in a large number of cases, it is literally unprocessed, concentrated industrial waste, straight from fertilizer plant scrubber filters, to a tank that gets poured into the water supply. in some cases, its even mildly radioactive.
Obviously no one wants to admit life is suffering because they have 0 to gain from it, but much more to gain from saying how easy and insanely good their life is on social media
@@peterpana3176 depends on how you use it! If you watch bullshit all the time you don't become a better life! There is always good stuff on it, if you want to find some :-) It all depends on you
The most intelligent men in the world were unappreciated in their time. As a controversial figure right now, Peterson will be remembered by history as an absolutely legendary figure in the saving of western culture
Its so refreshing to hear good old fashioned timeless wisdom again. A lot of what he says is what I learned in USMC Boot Camp over 50 years ago. In boot camp the technique was more raw and much less intellectual than the class room but the message is the same and that is: the world does not revolve around you, so lend a hand......NOW!!!!!
Very few people in the public eye today put so much effort into sharing true wisdom of happiness and success. I love his talks, not just the content but the passion and authenticity in his presentation. In a world of warm blankets, netflix and uber eats we drown in meaninglessness and comfort. JP is the internet dad of the world forcing us back outside, giving us the tools and courage to grapple with the chaos of the unknown and the strength to face the world once again. Much love dr jp, keep it real my dude x
I found my mother deceased at 6 pulled the plug on my father when I was 24. Lost many others too. At first I thought it would break me and it did but now there’s nothing I’m afraid of losing and I realize that suffering is the reason I am so strong . Jordan Peterson is great man he says like as much as a teenage girl but he’s exactly right about most of his messages because he just states the hard truth . If your hurting beyond comprehension and everything stops making sense , something that helped me was strangers talk w them from your heart find the golden ones and ull find suffering is as ancient as love and our realities are personal it’s up to us to see beyond what cultures in the east call the Lila. Understand that there will always be doctors and murderers and both are just actors in this great drama that the eternal self plays out to have to dance between suffering and love which both need each other
This video has been one of my biggest inspiration in my life. I found Jordan Peterson during the hardest part of my life ever. It was a point that could’ve ended with me not existing on earth anymore. But listening to him and learning has helped me take responsibility for myself. Made me realize that I have to get myself out of the situation that is making me miserable and depressed. I’m very happy where I am in life now. But it was something I was able to obtain because I made very hard decisions in that were necessary. “If you want to have a meaningful life, everything you do matters” is a word I’ll never forget for the rest of my life
@@jamesparson It is meaningful for someone, if it is not by other persons, can meaningful for you. Thats the whole point, and you can do many meaningful things if you start with yourself, then applies to the others around you. But yes, everything you do matters
Meaning is self proclaimed I don’t drink so if someone bought me the most expensive bottle in the world I’d just look with no want of it. If u bought me an al then I’d 💛 u
I can honestly say this is the best video I’ve ever seen, everything he says in this videos resonates so deeply with me and it was this video along with others that made me the person that I am today, not where I want to be yet but got out of my worst years in depression and have goals and duties that I am looking forward to as I continue with life. I am in the process of getting my life together. Thank you.
“Everything you do matters” what an important powerful phrase this is- as a youngster due to different experiences & trauma I developed an instinct to pay attention to what was going on around me at all times, as things weren’t quite as they seemed & confusing to understand in my younger years. sadly when I grew up and fell into certain traps these podcasts & divine words of advice literally saved my life- thank you Dr Peterson you will never know how much these words left an imprint on my soul whilst I was going through all kinds of challenges “everything you do matters” 👏💯🙏⭐️ 🇨🇦
My mom passed away yesterday. I was watching these videos weeks ago preparing myself for such hardship. I hope im doing good in face of this horrible horrible nightmare.
i just wanted to you let you know that you’re doing great. hopefully today you’re feeling less compelled to be a victim but moved to be greater because of your circumstances. love you❤
Luna: Yes, just his pain and love in those words! I often feel as though am the only one to care, and I cant carry everything alone anymore. I can think about him and feel less lonely and get inspired/reminded.
stop inflicting your belief system on the rest of the world. you will never regain what you have lost since the renaissance and protestant reformation, so get used to it and accept change as the times demand and you will see that suffering will begin to become less suffering and more empathetic
Thank you for this truth. It was bitter,very bitter but brought tears of joy!! The mentor I needed in my life. The male role model I needed in my life. Thank you for uploading this video.
This is truly one of the best videos of all time. It nice to hear someone who understands how much suffering and emptiness is in life. Truly when i heard the quote "To be' or not to be." as a kid, i was like ok, i know what it's saying but it didn't mean anything to me. But now, it's one of the saddest most profound quote i've ever heard. Now feeling the weight of being a adult, the absolute nagging heavy weight comes with just living is hard sometimes. To just exist you have to bear the weight and pain of life. That's the cost we all have to pay. And of course life isn't all just doom and gloom if you have friends and a good family but damn, sometimes you just think why me, i don't want to deals with this. But all you can do, is try your best in life. Try to make it as good as it can possibly be. That's literally the only control we have over our own lives. But i do believe in God, and i believe we all have something we were put here to do, and it's up to us if we're strong enough to do it. But sometimes i see friends who love each other deeply. And i see a wife and a husband who love each other more than the world. And i think, will i ever get to experience such joy as well? Or is my job here different than what i would like. And sometimes i just want to scream into the sky so loud maybe i could be free of everything the world binds you in. But we all know it doesn't work that way. And sometimes i feel empty inside. It's as if i can physically feel a whole in my chest. While my heart feels cold and heavy. As i desperately scramble to fill and warm my heart. But at the end of the day i can feel that my heart and soul are longing and trying to reach out for love, as my mind tries to convince me i don't need it........ I would argue that there is no such greater, than love.
@@y04a Thanks i was in a rough place when i wrote this, im much better now but i still believe what i wrote. Just now im dealing with it in a more healthy way. Its still always tough though.
@@Samuel-sg2iv I'm glad to hear you're doing better. Even so, life is hard sometimes and as long as persevere, all is not lost : ) I think it's awesome you can describe your emotions so clearly. Even if it hurts, it can help to have words to describe it, in my opinion.
@@y04a Thank you, it really means a lot when you say that. But yeah, one of the best pieces of advice i've ever heard was, you have to feel your feelings. Which sounds kinda simple, but for me i really needed to hear that. Cause a lot of the time i wouldn't. And what i found that really helps me a lot, is when you are feeling bad about something that happens to you, write what you feel down on a piece of paper or i use google docs, lol. But you will be surprised if you really sit down and just feel what your mind and body feels, it helps a lot. But, thanks for the nice comments, i hope you're doing good as well.
@Samuel-sg2iv Hey, if you wouldn't mind, I would suggest watching some Eckhart Tolle videos on awareness and pain. God bless you. There's *always* sunshine after the storm. 🙏
I can't believe the beauty, love, majesty, and truth I just felt. This was a masterpieceof human thought. I can't believe I witnessed this magical sermon of modernity.
Jordan Peterson at his best! "Get yourself together, transcend your suffering, see if you can be some kind of hero, make the suffering in the world less. Well, that's the way forward as far as I can tell, if there is any way forward."
@@Igor_lvanov I think he’s giving him the words to say it, bc Bobby said “words cannot explain”. So “better” I believe meaning “better than it was before”
@@DrumWild Yeah, I feel like my critical thinking goes out the window during speeches as compelling as this one. That aside, which of his ideas do you find inappropriate? I'd be happy to ponder about them.
I don't think I've seen this man being more raw, intense, and figuratively naked in any of his other speeches. The defenses are down, and the earnestness in his tone is sweeping out like a typhoon, as he's desperately pleading with everyone to be better stronger people.
Dude, me too. I am a socialist and atheist, but his message is absolutely amazing and really hope he pulls himself from this chapter of his life. Stay safe!
@@MLCommy The application of being a good person does not discriminate against what you believe in but what you do! Capitalist, Socialist or otherwise.
Dr. Peterson - I am not religious at all - have diagnosed with brain cancer 2 weeks ago, have had a surgery a week ago - watching this clip was very very helpful for me to get trough it - and now moving on for the next steps - I have been so lucky to know you and find this video! Thank you very much!
After watching Jordan for a year firstly I’m grateful and he’s definitely saving our young generation but also this seems like a rather simple philosophy to understand and was wondering if anyone else has preached it and if so why Jordan just blew up and is famous
@@jamesparson Not really. Suffering in this context means that you continue to reflect on the pain you were/are/are about to endure, like whining about having to clean your room, then bitching about it constantly while cleaning it. Pain just means the discomfort you are experiencing while you are doing the activity that you've been whining about.

What so many Christians forget, if they ever learn it at all, is that the Cross is a feature, not a bug. The Crucifixion is embedded in every string or subatomic particle at the bottom of the universe. "Christ...the lamb slain from the foundation of the world" (Rev. 13:8) - what does that tell you about suffering? And the proper preposition with regard to God is WITH, not UP. God is not UP THERE, looking DOWN; God is Immanuel - "God-WITH-us" (one might with justification say "within" us), to strengthen, guide, guard, protect and forgive.
@@chidimmaahanonu8252 is it "it" or is it him. Him or it ? If it is a human or it is something else ? Is a war on science is going on ? I hope you find "him" in yourself and everything around you. And Life is not suffering it's as it is only we categorize it. Life is extraordinarily beautiful and magnificent. Only those who have the courage to be in the unknown will find it, as one wise man said - the most precious thing in life is life itself are we going to acknowledge it now or only on the deathbed ?
@@virajdobriyal6321 It's a 'him' and not an 'it'. Of course life is beautiful and magnificent but it comes with many trials and tribulations. But I believe what we as humans would regret the most on our deathbed is living a life without fulfilling our purpose on earth. That's the beautiful thing about following Christ - we find our purpose in him and live our lives following his example. And even if it means forfeiting some of the world's pleasures (at the end of the day they are all vain and mostly lead to instant gratification), we get to do what it is we have been created and called to do on earth and to me that's the highest form of pleasure anyone can have. This can be found in Christ - fulfillment.
"if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move." well personally I would prefer to move the mountain first, but if it wouldn't work than I would climb it :D
Some time ago my wife complained about a migraine, then our 5yo son put a hand on her shoulder and told her "Mom, life is pain". I teared up. My wife came to me and asked "WTF are you teaching our son?!" It was one of my best parenting moment.
That guy has a smug posture, as if his mother always told him he was an angel, he gets straight As for sucking-up to his profs, and now he's chafing at JP suggesting that he's anything less than perfect.
SALARY? LOL WHAT SALARY??HE IS FIRED FROM EVERYWHERE 250k dollars every few months from the books he said himshelf to an asshole journalist MINUS the speech tickets.....to the entire planet that he gives ALL THE TIME.....salary 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The video that saved my life, thank you jordan peterson, in your suffering and sacrifice in life you became a man so capable you saved the life of another man youve never even met.
I’m 28 years old, I used to feel full of life but the last 5 years my life has been a spiraling mess, I have been a spectator on the sideline watching my life/hopes/dreams go right down the drain…this video woke me up and gave me the hope I need to wake the F up and keep going ! Life is beautiful and should NEVER be taken for granted EVER! Far too precious & filled with endless possibilities
I had a series of events that caused me to spiral; non of which was of my doing, at my lowest, and most lost, suffering from a existential crisis, suffering more then I have ever in my life, this lecture came to me. I wasn’t looking that I can remember, it’s like the universe knew I needed this and it came to me. Hearing that one line “pick up your suffering and bear it, try to be a good person so you don’t make it worse” literally turned every thing around. Reading his books, listening to his lectures, revolutionized my life. I can not think him enough, I found strength that I was searching for so desperately.
"Thats what religious people always said..." Maybe you didn't listen good enough or your Church did something wrong...idk but I see where youre coming from
I feel the same about my childhood church experiences but at the same time I don't think I had the same measure of suffering as a child than I do now to pay any attention or comprehend the messages. With that in mind I can look back and relate to the adults that told me to listen and pay attention, because they needed a glimpse of hope to help their suffering. Sure the sermons could have been better put together and taken less as literal interpretations, but considering they even attempted to assemble is a miracle as Jordan says. Karl Marx said that religion was the opiate of the masses, and considering how hurt and broken some individuals are,I say its a well needed opiate seeing as a million other things are also, we could do worse for picking our poison. Pastor Jack Hibbs is a blessing and is what my church should have been.
The problem with modern churches is that they are reminiscent of the Jewish temples and synagogues of the past with the same rituals and chanting of words without understanding them. The temple is our body and the spirit resides in us and only we have the power to change ourselves. Most of us have an easy life and hence we don’t know what we are capable of.
So it seems you are not one of them. Seems you were slightly more fortunate than the people listening to Jordan. But eventually it will catch up to you. The suffering is creeping upward.
I've been watching this clip on loop for days as my young sister in law, who just got a cancer diagnosis, deteriorates rapidly in the ICU as I type. It's all I can do to keep from becoming a hot slobbering mess. This bit of lecture is serving like a psalm I keep repeating in my head over and over again - so that I can try to help those around me. Dr. Peterson can never know absolutely crucial his lectures and books have been, and continue to be.
Hey, Darling. So, sorry to read this. I totally feel you. I'm just like you, having my sister going through a rough cancer path. If you feel like it, I'd love to share our experiences, give you all the information I have about the disease, and hopefully become better humans for our family and for ourselves. Much love and strenght.
This comment doesn't help the situation. She died 4 days after I wrote that comment. There was nothing I or anyone else could have done. I did my best by following the advise from Dr. Peterson's lecture.@@sayoshinakamario
Robert Caswell Yes. We are lucky to have him. This really spoke to me as well. Ive been going thru life wallowing in my own suffering lately. Life has never been so hard. But instead of just giving in, wishing for what life used to be, i need to Fight. Ive been feelin so beatin down, life has felt so hard. No more! Time to accept my new life no matter how bad and FIGHT!!! Best of luck to you all.
I'm proud of you for getting help man, we all need a little "professional" help from time to time... Some of us don't get it though due to embarrassment, lack of funds, previous obligations, a myriad of reasons. The greatest healer has but a few requirements, the largest of which is humility. A little bit of humility goes a long way. See you soon, we love you man...!!! Peace and hair grease brother.
That's a nice quote - I only knew of a slight twist on this: Worrying is like a rocking chair. Gives you something to do, but doesn't move you forward.
Life is hard because we stopped helping each other, and now we only help ourselves. But usually what we lack is in others and what they lack is in us. We need each other.
The majority of people have always been egoistic as long as it was rewarding. And the majority of us will continue to be so until we manage to built a system that rewards altruism and punishes egoism.
@@stefan1924 The issue I find with altruism is that it is an idealistic construct. Virtually, every single person on the planet is selfish or does something for self-gain. The only people I think who would be considered altruistic is saints because their actions are done solely for God. Even a mother jumping in front of a bus to save her son is considered selfish.
My golden tip is making friends that you look up to. I befriended a girl in the past few months and she's really confident, knows no shame, and brutally honest. Sometimes it can be quite harsh but she really means it in a good way and for example when studying together (we're in uni) I have a lot of trouble focusing and she'll just straight up tell me to get myself together. I've improved so much it's crazy
@@flyingpuma9729 The world wasn't flowers and roses when you were born, your parents took their chance too to raise you. The thing is, what would the world be like if everyone decided the same as you? I don't agree that everyone is obligated to have kids, but I think the position you choose is more privileged than others.
Flying Puma yeah. I can’t integrate Peterson’s statement that “life is suffering and life is hard” with religion pushing children. It makes me think that the individual is bound to suffer for the good of society - which makes people who benefit greatly from the existence of a society that much more privileged.

The most intelligent men in the world were unappreciated in their time. As a controversial figure right now, Peterson will be remembered by history as an absolutely legendary figure in the saving of western culture
Perhaps a Legendary Lecturer at Best.
And now if all of us can listen and appreciate what he's said and apply it.....
!!!
Some of the most intelligent men have said the most horrible things. And have been forgotten.

@@mihretabyifter2605 ok..
I scrolled down looking for this comment.
I thought the same thing when I heard him say that. Didn't age well
oh dear god.. i was thinking the same *sips tea*
Its so refreshing to hear good old fashioned timeless wisdom again. A lot of what he says is what I learned in USMC Boot Camp over 50 years ago. In boot camp the technique was more raw and much less intellectual than the class room but the message is the same and that is: the world does not revolve around you, so lend a hand......NOW!!!!!
Typical conservative propaganda. Pick yourself up by the bootstraps, but bailout corporations and pay CEOs 100x more than working employees.
@@gabrielg3838 how did u get that?
Mr. Peterson, the father I never had. Thank you.
Very few people in the public eye today put so much effort into sharing true wisdom of happiness and success. I love his talks, not just the content but the passion and authenticity in his presentation. In a world of warm blankets, netflix and uber eats we drown in meaninglessness and comfort. JP is the internet dad of the world forcing us back outside, giving us the tools and courage to grapple with the chaos of the unknown and the strength to face the world once again. Much love dr jp, keep it real my dude x

I found my mother deceased at 6 pulled the plug on my father when I was 24. Lost many others too. At first I thought it would break me and it did but now there’s nothing I’m afraid of losing and I realize that suffering is the reason I am so strong . Jordan Peterson is great man he says like as much as a teenage girl but he’s exactly right about most of his messages because he just states the hard truth . If your hurting beyond comprehension and everything stops making sense , something that helped me was strangers talk w them from your heart find the golden ones and ull find suffering is as ancient as love and our realities are personal it’s up to us to see beyond what cultures in the east call the Lila. Understand that there will always be doctors and murderers and both are just actors in this great drama that the eternal self plays out to have to dance between suffering and love which both need each other
This video has been one of my biggest inspiration in my life. I found Jordan Peterson during the hardest part of my life ever. It was a point that could’ve ended with me not existing on earth anymore. But listening to him and learning has helped me take responsibility for myself. Made me realize that I have to get myself out of the situation that is making me miserable and depressed. I’m very happy where I am in life now. But it was something I was able to obtain because I made very hard decisions in that were necessary. “If you want to have a meaningful life, everything you do matters” is a word I’ll never forget for the rest of my life
“Is to live is to suffer, is to survive is to find a meaning in the suffering” - Nietzsche
Sometimes you just suffer until it kills you.
Just because you want something to be meaningful, does not mean it is.
@@jamesparson It is meaningful for someone, if it is not by other persons, can meaningful for you. Thats the whole point, and you can do many meaningful things if you start with yourself, then applies to the others around you. But yes, everything you do matters
yea but there realy is no meaning, everything is futile.
I think beheading victims should find meaning in their brutal murders.
Oh wait, they can't cuz they're dead.
Meaning is self proclaimed I don’t drink so if someone bought me the most expensive bottle in the world I’d just look with no want of it. If u bought me an al then I’d 💛 u
as a 18 year old this is a very good advice
gonzalo huelmo i would have given anything to get this when i was 18
So lucky, I'm 21 dammit.
gonzalo huelmo same for a 28 year old
Yep 17 myself
gonzalo huelmo
You are lucky
I can honestly say this is the best video I’ve ever seen, everything he says in this videos resonates so deeply with me and it was this video along with others that made me the person that I am today, not where I want to be yet but got out of my worst years in depression and have goals and duties that I am looking forward to as I continue with life. I am in the process of getting my life together. Thank you.
In hardship and unbearable suffering, i found myself in here listening to jbp. Makes it bearable. Thanks for that
“Everything you do matters” what an important powerful phrase this is- as a youngster due to different experiences & trauma I developed an instinct to pay attention to what was going on around me at all times, as things weren’t quite as they seemed & confusing to understand in my younger years. sadly when I grew up and fell into certain traps these podcasts & divine words of advice literally saved my life- thank you Dr Peterson you will never know how much these words left an imprint on my soul whilst I was going through all kinds of challenges “everything you do matters” 👏💯🙏⭐️ 🇨🇦
If someone notice this, I'm fighting depression and I really wanna win this. I know God is always with me. I'm just tired.
This lecture was ahead of its time. 2020 is what he worried about.
Woah
No it's not. Those are very old problems. Nihilist bs has been strong in the western world since at least the 80s.
Yeah talking about going outside, not everything burning in a riot.....
My mom passed away yesterday. I was watching these videos weeks ago preparing myself for such hardship. I hope im doing good in face of this horrible horrible nightmare.
Im sorry for your loss.

" *pick up your damn suffering and bear it! and try to be a good person so you don't make it worse!* " :)
Luna: Yes, just his pain and love in those words! I often feel as though am the only one to care, and I cant carry everything alone anymore. I can think about him and feel less lonely and get inspired/reminded.
stop inflicting your belief system on the rest of the world. you will never regain what you have lost since the renaissance and protestant reformation, so get used to it and accept change as the times demand and you will see that suffering will begin to become less suffering and more empathetic
@Elliot Rodger that's interesting.
Or just take Benzos like he did. That really helps with the suffering!!!
Fraud.
@@curtismartin9054 He's 'projecting' (mental problems)
Jordan Peterson has probably saved more lives than anyone in these past decades. He truly is an amazing person, god bless you Jordan.
Thank you for this truth. It was bitter,very bitter but brought tears of joy!! The mentor I needed in my life. The male role model I needed in my life. Thank you for uploading this video.
This is truly one of the best videos of all time. It nice to hear someone who understands how much suffering and emptiness is in life. Truly when i heard the quote "To be' or not to be." as a kid, i was like ok, i know what it's saying but it didn't mean anything to me. But now, it's one of the saddest most profound quote i've ever heard. Now feeling the weight of being a adult, the absolute nagging heavy weight comes with just living is hard sometimes. To just exist you have to bear the weight and pain of life. That's the cost we all have to pay. And of course life isn't all just doom and gloom if you have friends and a good family but damn, sometimes you just think why me, i don't want to deals with this. But all you can do, is try your best in life. Try to make it as good as it can possibly be. That's literally the only control we have over our own lives. But i do believe in God, and i believe we all have something we were put here to do, and it's up to us if we're strong enough to do it. But sometimes i see friends who love each other deeply. And i see a wife and a husband who love each other more than the world. And i think, will i ever get to experience such joy as well? Or is my job here different than what i would like. And sometimes i just want to scream into the sky so loud maybe i could be free of everything the world binds you in. But we all know it doesn't work that way. And sometimes i feel empty inside. It's as if i can physically feel a whole in my chest. While my heart feels cold and heavy. As i desperately scramble to fill and warm my heart. But at the end of the day i can feel that my heart and soul are longing and trying to reach out for love, as my mind tries to convince me i don't need it........ I would argue that there is no such greater, than love.
That was beautiful to read. I hope you continue to search for love and to find it 💗
@@y04a Thanks i was in a rough place when i wrote this, im much better now but i still believe what i wrote. Just now im dealing with it in a more healthy way. Its still always tough though.
@@Samuel-sg2iv I'm glad to hear you're doing better. Even so, life is hard sometimes and as long as persevere, all is not lost : )
I think it's awesome you can describe your emotions so clearly. Even if it hurts, it can help to have words to describe it, in my opinion.
@@y04a Thank you, it really means a lot when you say that. But yeah, one of the best pieces of advice i've ever heard was, you have to feel your feelings. Which sounds kinda simple, but for me i really needed to hear that. Cause a lot of the time i wouldn't. And what i found that really helps me a lot, is when you are feeling bad about something that happens to you, write what you feel down on a piece of paper or i use google docs, lol. But you will be surprised if you really sit down and just feel what your mind and body feels, it helps a lot. But, thanks for the nice comments, i hope you're doing good as well.
@Samuel-sg2iv Hey, if you wouldn't mind, I would suggest watching some Eckhart Tolle videos on awareness and pain. God bless you. There's *always* sunshine after the storm. 🙏

I can't believe the beauty, love, majesty, and truth I just felt. This was a masterpieceof human thought. I can't believe I witnessed this magical sermon of modernity.

Jordan Peterson at his best!
"Get yourself together, transcend your suffering, see if you can be some kind of hero, make the suffering in the world less. Well, that's the way forward as far as I can tell, if there is any way forward."

The pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.
Well said.
Useless distinction.
@@jamesparson Not really. Suffering in this context means that you continue to reflect on the pain you were/are/are about to endure, like whining about having to clean your room, then bitching about it constantly while cleaning it. Pain just means the discomfort you are experiencing while you are doing the activity that you've been whining about.

“Take up your cross and follow Me” (Matthew 16:24;
What so many Christians forget, if they ever learn it at all, is that the Cross is a feature, not a bug. The Crucifixion is embedded in every string or subatomic particle at the bottom of the universe. "Christ...the lamb slain from the foundation of the world" (Rev. 13:8) - what does that tell you about suffering? And the proper preposition with regard to God is WITH, not UP. God is not UP THERE, looking DOWN; God is Immanuel - "God-WITH-us" (one might with justification say "within" us), to strengthen, guide, guard, protect and forgive.

And Life is not suffering it's as it is only we categorize it. Life is extraordinarily beautiful and magnificent. Only those who have the courage to be in the unknown will find it, as one wise man said - the most precious thing in life is life itself are we going to acknowledge it now or only on the deathbed ?
@@virajdobriyal6321 It's a 'him' and not an 'it'. Of course life is beautiful and magnificent but it comes with many trials and tribulations. But I believe what we as humans would regret the most on our deathbed is living a life without fulfilling our purpose on earth. That's the beautiful thing about following Christ - we find our purpose in him and live our lives following his example. And even if it means forfeiting some of the world's pleasures (at the end of the day they are all vain and mostly lead to instant gratification), we get to do what it is we have been created and called to do on earth and to me that's the highest form of pleasure anyone can have. This can be found in Christ - fulfillment.

i want a movie of this man
62 post modernists passed by
Now theres one :F
there's One called Rise of Jordan Peterson :'D
I’m 28 years old, I used to feel full of life but the last 5 years my life has been a spiraling mess, I have been a spectator on the sideline watching my life/hopes/dreams go right down the drain…this video woke me up and gave me the hope I need to wake the F up and keep going ! Life is beautiful and should NEVER be taken for granted EVER! Far too precious & filled with endless possibilities
''ask yourself ,which one are you pursuing'' the way he says that shreds right through my heart
I had a series of events that caused me to spiral; non of which was of my doing, at my lowest, and most lost, suffering from a existential crisis, suffering more then I have ever in my life, this lecture came to me. I wasn’t looking that I can remember, it’s like the universe knew I needed this and it came to me. Hearing that one line “pick up your suffering and bear it, try to be a good person so you don’t make it worse” literally turned every thing around. Reading his books, listening to his lectures, revolutionized my life. I can not think him enough, I found strength that I was searching for so desperately.
I wish my childhood experience of church had been like this and not all that fundamentalist sky daddy shenanigans.
"Thats what religious people always said..."
Maybe you didn't listen good enough or your Church did something wrong...idk but I see where youre coming from
Well this isnt church exactly but yes it feels like the best sermon or meta sermon in a sense dosent it
I feel the same about my childhood church experiences but at the same time I don't think I had the same measure of suffering as a child than I do now to pay any attention or comprehend the messages. With that in mind I can look back and relate to the adults that told me to listen and pay attention, because they needed a glimpse of hope to help their suffering. Sure the sermons could have been better put together and taken less as literal interpretations, but considering they even attempted to assemble is a miracle as Jordan says. Karl Marx said that religion was the opiate of the masses, and considering how hurt and broken some individuals are,I say its a well needed opiate seeing as a million other things are also, we could do worse for picking our poison. Pastor Jack Hibbs is a blessing and is what my church should have been.
The problem with modern churches is that they are reminiscent of the Jewish temples and synagogues of the past with the same rituals and chanting of words without understanding them. The temple is our body and the spirit resides in us and only we have the power to change ourselves. Most of us have an easy life and hence we don’t know what we are capable of.

I've been watching this clip on loop for days as my young sister in law, who just got a cancer diagnosis, deteriorates rapidly in the ICU as I type.
It's all I can do to keep from becoming a hot slobbering mess.
This bit of lecture is serving like a psalm I keep repeating in my head over and over again - so that I can try to help those around me.
Dr. Peterson can never know absolutely crucial his lectures and books have been, and continue to be.
Hey, Darling. So, sorry to read this. I totally feel you. I'm just like you, having my sister going through a rough cancer path. If you feel like it, I'd love to share our experiences, give you all the information I have about the disease, and hopefully become better humans for our family and for ourselves.
Much love and strenght.
That doesn’t help the situation. Get to work researching people who have beat cancer and what they did so you have the ability to help.

But instead of just giving in, wishing for what life used to be, i need to Fight. Ive been feelin so beatin down, life has felt so hard. No more! Time to accept my new life no matter how bad and FIGHT!!! Best of luck to you all.

I'm proud of you for getting help man, we all need a little "professional" help from time to time... Some of us don't get it though due to embarrassment, lack of funds, previous obligations, a myriad of reasons. The greatest healer has but a few requirements, the largest of which is humility. A little bit of humility goes a long way. See you soon, we love you man...!!! Peace and hair grease brother.
Remember, worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow. It only sups today of its strength.
That's a nice quote - I only knew of a slight twist on this: Worrying is like a rocking chair. Gives you something to do, but doesn't move you forward.

Life is hard because it's full of unbelievable suffering.
The majority of people have always been egoistic as long as it was rewarding. And the majority of us will continue to be so until we manage to built a system that rewards altruism and punishes egoism.
>we stopped helping each other
What complete nonsense. Your ignorant believes about the past are the greatest threats to civilization.
Agree
@@stefan1924 The issue I find with altruism is that it is an idealistic construct. Virtually, every single person on the planet is selfish or does something for self-gain. The only people I think who would be considered altruistic is saints because their actions are done solely for God. Even a mother jumping in front of a bus to save her son is considered selfish.
This is a wise Man talking, Glad to see this video, Thanks for this
My golden tip is making friends that you look up to. I befriended a girl in the past few months and she's really confident, knows no shame, and brutally honest. Sometimes it can be quite harsh but she really means it in a good way and for example when studying together (we're in uni) I have a lot of trouble focusing and she'll just straight up tell me to get myself together. I've improved so much it's crazy
“Life is suffering!”
“Have kids!”
Why should you put kids in this messed up world?
@@flyingpuma9729 The world wasn't flowers and roses when you were born, your parents took their chance too to raise you.
The thing is, what would the world be like if everyone decided the same as you? I don't agree that everyone is obligated to have kids, but I think the position you choose is more privileged than others.
Flying Puma yeah. I can’t integrate Peterson’s statement that “life is suffering and life is hard” with religion pushing children. It makes me think that the individual is bound to suffer for the good of society - which makes people who benefit greatly from the existence of a society that much more privileged.
