Top Comments of this video!! :3
I remember the first time i had a moment of absurdity. I was talking to my mother and all of a sudden i saw her as if I have never seen her, as if she was a complete stranger to me. And when i told her that in that very instant she could not understand it. I hope everyone can fell such moments. It is really invigorating.

Philosophy is such an invigorating force for me. When I hear a new idea and have it instantly resonate with my own feelings and thoughts, it is a feeling like no other. This also underlines the idea that your every feeling and thought has already been experienced and widely explored by others in the past, put into words and described by philosophical writers at length.
I am so fortunate to understand the implications of this... how important reading is, educating oneself, and how these things help deepen the understanding of yourself and the world. What an impact consistent study of this kind of material has over time... even if it's just 5-10 pages of a book a day, or a single video like this - the effect is cumulative.
It's what Stephen Covey would call a Quadrant II activity (Not-Urgen and Important), but what most people would not even think of as important.
