There really is never enough time… no matter how much freedom or money you might have… this is not to say that those with very little or almost nothing do not deserve more it’s more to say that the reason people get so greedy is they realize there is never enough time no matter what… so they take and take when the real way to get more freedom and time is to give more to everyone, because when we all have some freedom we all have time for joy too.

It'd be much easier if I could afford the delicious food, and walking in the sunshine, and jumping in the ocean, and telling my boss the truth in my heart. I do enjoy being silly, kind and weird though.

I don’t think it is a matter of affording it. I think it is a matter of appreciating less. I speak from a position of less so a little needs to go a long way for a long time. It does not cost anything to be kind. I think it costs a lot to pretend to be kind.

With caveats: if you tell the truth you’re carrying in your heart like a hidden treasure, sometimes there’s a reason you were doing that, and the people you tell may be less than appreciative that you did; sometimes when you’re weird all the time people don’t want o hang around you.

In Silence Of The Lambs, the hissing noise Hannibal Lecter makes at Clarice Starling after delivering the famous, "I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti" line was improvised on the spot by the great Anthony Hopkins.

Such an important one! Sometimes abstaining from the delicious food means investing in a much better life experience down the road. It's a bit crazy how emotionally disconnected some people believe they are from their bodies's state.

Indulging your five senses because after you die there’s nothing else is equally as nihilistic, ultimately.

See, this is something that my boss figured out when his dad had a stroke, but then doesn't seem to understand that as employees, he's asking us to only have 10 days vacation time a year and not even really be able to afford it half the time. :/

Eh, the entertainment industry can be pretty intense work. I used to have 90-100 hour weeks working in finance, and knew a couple and distinctly remember a couple people who worked in the TV and movie industries who had schedules/days that made me feel good about mine

That is fast jump to an assumption. As Ted Lasso said, be curious, not judgemental.

It is easy for rich people to say things like that as they can afford all of it. There was a guy who said people should take a year leave after few years of working to get new experiences. Right. Most can not do that but I imagine it can be refreshing.

It would also be nice if we could all go and see Earth from orbit as that gives people a new look on Earth and humanity. Care to pay for that? :D

It's easy to make noble statements about life when you have all the basics needs filled and freedom to choose how to spend your time and buy what you want.

For many of us life is filled with struggle and sadness. Survival doesn't leave much room for anything else.

Peace.

>Do we really need celebrities to sell it to us??

The idealism in us wants to say "of course not" but consider an experiment: Put this exact quote on any social media in three versions:

  1. No pictures, only text
  2. With celebrity picture
  3. With picture of random unrecognizable person

Which version will automatically drive engagement? And how wide is the gap: a tiny fluctuation, or an astronomical difference?

I wish streaming services weren't presented by graphical tiles and users like me would have to read text synopses to decide what to watch. I imagine that's a very unpopular opinion and nothing like what I want will ever happen.

I was taught it's wrong to judge a book by the cover, but our entire society has deliberately embraced that wrongness at every opportunity.

I can't wait to see his performance as Cus D'Amato in the Mike Tyson movie with Jamie Fox. Cus had some absolute kung-fu master hermit living in the mountains for thousands of years level wisdom and I can't wait for Anthony to play him.

Add animals to the list while you're at it. They don't deserve to be needlessly abused and exploited just for human pleasure.

Not to mention animal agriculture causing several mass extinctions in wildlife currently, killing indigenous people to take their lands, creating several dead zones in our Oceans, driving 80% of the deforestation in the Amazon, etc etc.

"I want you to get swept away. I want you to levitate. I want you to sing with rapture and dance like a dervish. Be deliriously happy. Or at least leave yourself open to be. I know it's a cornball thing but love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. If you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? I say fall head over heels. Find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. And how do you find him? Forget your head and listen to your heart. I'm not hearing any heart. Run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. Because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love -- well, you haven't lived a life at all. You have to try. Because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived. Stay open. Who knows? Lightning could strike!"
