@fingerlickingoodism Thank you for watching.

Thank you for the video. Your analysis of perfectionism and controlling behavior is right on. I am working on it myself, and this video is encouraging.

i just watched your wake up video, you're way ahead of me :P

you're right about your personality developing in a certain direction because of external factors and people. The thing though is learning to just sit with it, with the you that you have become. No effort involved. This reminded me of your life sucks video. I think tying the two together is a good idea. You may not like the you you have become, but that's you. Acceptance of that, true acceptance, has to come before any true change can occur. if one accepts themselves there's no more to do.

There's a great quote from this movie called, Revolver: "In every game and con there is always an opponent and there is always a victim. The more control the victim thinks he has, the less control he actually has. Gradually he will hang himself. I, as the opponent, just help him along." -- Now, they're talking about chess, but I've learned from my personal experience that chess is a lot like life, and the lessons of chess actually transcend the board. Just know that the opponent is always YOU.

Personally, I feel as if most everything we do could be considered a distraction. We work, we have routines, etc, to avoid thinking or contemplating over our life and our behavior. Also, it seems that, if we don't overcome our 'problems'/bullshit/preconditi­oning, more times than not we'll pass it on, usually to the next generation. I think that's why our world's so shitty, is because so many people in the past, and even in the present day, avoid dealing with their shit, and therefore project it

[tonyfalca]

After experiencing what I have, frankly, I believe freewill is earned (even though nobody, but yourself, is preventing one's own freewill)... I think life is all about overcoming the conditioning we're subjected to as children, and as you overcome the conditioning (or all the unconscious behavior/reactions/etc.) is when one really begins to experience freedom/freewill. Very, very few people in this world truly know, and experience, freewill... seriously.

Hey there, I am loving your videos, I am going to post a video response so you can see what I'm posting - something similar. It's also great to see you grow in your videos!
