The ethos of this video is 'ignorance is bliss'.

I'm sure many people have been 'happy' raping and murdering others.

Don't try to stop people searching for knowledge because you want to delegtimise it as being as a result of depression.

What if society wants to kill your meaning and there is really no more places to run..

@vtran31 i agree with you and fear in the right measure warn us about many things in life. but in the right measure :)

[vtran31]

Respond to this video... should hte native americans have simply not been afraid that the White anglo saxons would rape their land, murder them, and exterminate htem with smallpox blankets??

[vtran31]

@chelilandia irrational and prejudicial fear, maybe. but legitimate fear keeps us alive

for example, I am deathly afraid of the potential of global warming. it doesnt matter if it has actually happened yet, the continued and accelerating pollution of our air will wreck our world.should I simply not be afraid of a potential global catastrophe? should we hyave just assumed in the 1950's that the USSR would not nuke us (and simply become a pacifistic nation and denuclearilize and demilitarize??)

Stef...I would submit that life has a "purpose," not a "meaning." Words have meaning; life has a purpose. The purpose of life is the evolution, through self-effort, of limited human consciousness into divine consciousness. The methodologies employed in this endeavor are myriad.

I have really enjoyed your corpus here on Youtube! Keep up the good work!

There's a common factor among Successful & Rich people, they're not fearful of "paranormal beliefs" they are just efficient, responsible, hard workers, smart and focused, and they don't waste time wondering on the top of a cliff about magic wands and floating stars on pink clouds. BUT they are aware most of the times of a power BEYOND human minds (they can call it god or whatever name their minds or ego feel comfortable with)
