This isn’t burnout… it’s existential exhaustion. Schopenhauer named a feeling I couldn’t explain. Anyone else feel like their soul needs rest, not just sleep?
This channel is helping me through a mental health crisis and the most lost I’ve ever felt in my 38 years on this planet. Thank you ❤
You’re not just tired — you’re carrying the weight of a world that never stops wanting. To find peace, stop chasing and start letting go.
“Hope is an illusion disguised as virtue.” This changes the whole game of existence.
"It’s not sleep you need — it’s meaning. Schopenhauer understood: the soul collapses long before the body does. 🕯🖤"
"Hope keeps us moving, but moving in circles" so true and a reality that is hard to admit is the reality.
As Schopenhauer said, “It is difficult to find happiness within oneself, but it is impossible to find it anywhere else.
This content wasn’t just about fatigue—it was a precise reflection of the silent exhaustion many of us carry. Articulating such a truth with this level of clarity takes courage. Sincere thanks for your profound insight and generous sharing
When rest doesn’t recharge you anymore, it’s your soul sending an SOS... Jeez Schopenhauer spotted this a century ago, it's crazy!
I find the timing of your video releases to be uncannily aligned with the events in my life. More than once when I am spiraling, your video pops up in my feed with an answer. And this one is no different. You released it yesterday, when I finally decided to quit my role at the company I work for almost 9 years. I have been especially exhausted for the past 2 years and finally decided to give up on hope, on goals, on dreams, on people to finally see my contribution come to fruition. I also gave up trying to be the “next level” of myself. I have persevered and persisted and willed myself to push through until my body and mind couldn’t take it anymore. Now I want to just be. And your video just confirmed my decision. So thank you always for your videos.
Schopenhauer would say" you're not lazy, you're existentially exhausted. There's a difference, and it cuts deep. Powerful message. Thanks for putting words to what so many silently feel.
"The more things change, the more they stay the same." When I moved to a new city, I thought it would change everything. New job, new friends, new environment—I believed a fresh start would finally make me feel whole. And for the first month or two, it did feel exciting. But soon, the same restlessness returned. I found myself chasing the next project, the next plan. It was frustrating. I realized I had been blaming my environment for an inner void. The truth was, nothing outside could fix what was broken inside. I had brought my same self—and the same ache—with me.
Your ebook promotion right after you slandered self-help books lol.😂 Truly though, thank you for this video. My brother recently asked me to participate in a "manifestation journey" with him. I was asked to meditate and envision the future I desired for myself. And day after day, I was literally unable to recognize my desires. I didn't have any. I thought something was wrong with me. This video was very enlightening.
Repeating the phrase “I’m tired” like a mantra got me
“When the terrors of life outweigh the terrors of death a man will put an end to his life.” Schopenhaue
I would start reading Schopenhauer (!) , interesting with his link to eastern philosophy. Thank you for a great video! While I do stop and meditate and appreciate the moment, the beauty of nature, my own company as well as perhaps most importantly, silence, both inner and outer, I am indeed still very much trapped in the cycle of will, of wanting, of desiring. I excuse myself with it being linked to my artistic practice, but desire nonetheless has many faces, and I am still attached to many of these. This video was a wise reminder for me to slow down even more, and appreciate each day and each moment, not for what it could be in the future, when I have fulfilled this or that, but for what it is here and now.
So basically the way out of suffering is to be in the present moment (by admiring art or meditating) which is the same thing as Buddhism teaches. Detaching from the world, i think that's also Buddhism.
This is just so relatable, it is just that most people will take your kindness for granted and are always longing for the love from the least expected ones. Thankyou for making this video, it made my day. 😍😍😍
06:36 After hearing this, I do feel like a pendulum—morning coffee to wake up, noon stress burning me out, and by evening I'm as bored as a bug. Hoping the next part teaches how to take this psychological clock off my neck. 😵💫
