I don’t how to feel about this. It feels like half inspiration, half indoctrination.
“sure, everything sucks, but just pretend it doesn’t!! the cute woman will smile at u and u will leave the store together!!!”
The message about empathy is important. I don’t think I could ever be “well-adjusted” to modern hell though, and I’m not convinced it’s really something to aspire to anyway.
The video equates discontent with self centeredness and lack of empathy. But I’m not angry with the person driving in front of me, I’m angry with politicians and automakers who scarred our land with highways and parking lots, and prioritized cars over humans. I’m not angry with the people around me at the supermarket, I’m angry at the megacorporations that damage the planet and exploit people while filling up the shelves with a million “different” products that are all overpriced and somehow even smaller than they were last year.
The video may be well meaning, but I think it misses the mark, and works to reinforce the status quo.
you completely missed the point. its not about any of the things you mentioned.
its a reminder of being aware of your emotional state. thats it. not good, not bad, but that awareness of choice that gives you the power to control your own behavior.
