Very interesting hearing this take on the motives of motion of one's life. The general population tends to lean towards "the next best thing" or constantly filling needs from one craving to another, therefore stifling boredom and unhappiness with never-ending wanting and needing of things that will never satisfy entirely. This leads to the consumeristic society we live in now. Also allowing what you said about the unconscious mind ruling over their life and avoiding the questions within all of us, (which when attempted to answer furthers inwards development) that point towards fears of the unknown and what it means to truly be happy, along with other questions of existence. Instead accepting a mentality that destroys individualism, which is what leads them to boring others through the lack of recognition of their own power, which is what makes you unique and entertaining. That being said, the idea of gratitude is understood through the lens of arbitrary nature, which is another way of saying, you must be the one to place meaning in things or find a catalyst of perception in understanding through separating perspective apart from only taking what's intended to be given in order to prevent yourself from the grasp of boredom, desensitization (when things become habitual or the norm), and lack of meaning. This also leads to the idea that every situation, no matter how small (as you mentioned about the dripping sweat for example) contains infinite possibilities for what you may take out of it, which is why the true power in arbitrary nature is that YOU create the meaning and interest out of those infinite possibilities. When you are the one creating the meaning and interest, you are involving yourself personally in any given situation just based on allowing your unique perspective to exist out of nothing. Creation is one of the highest forms of nutrition in terms of your spirit, very wild how it connects even on the most minuscule terms of random bais of the mind to escape the intended purpose of a situation. Definitely gave me some food for thought with this one, love your videos! I'm sure it must be hard not to fall into rabbit holes when talking about such broad topics, but you do a good job of saying plenty but not too much to confuse the main point. Keep up the great work!:)
