Transcript
If we were to grow into emotionally mature people, this is some of what we would have learned how to be. We would realize with considerable dark humor that we were fools. We are idiots now, we were idiots then, and we will be idiots tomorrow. There are just few other options for a human being. We would properly realize that we were going to die and would put this terrifying thought to use on a daily basis to nudge us towards greater appreciation, authenticity, and focus.
It would help us to be able to say at points in at last, "No." We would shed our pride. We would realize how much we constantly misunderstand and never more so than when we begin to have faith in our total competence and sanity. We would acknowledge the influence of the body on the mind. We might sink into existential despair not because there is anything objectively tragic at hand, but just because we're in urgent need of an orange juice or missed out on an hour of sleep.
We'd respect the art of diplomacy and the importance of politeness. We would acknowledge the surprising thought that other people may be just as easily hurt as we are. We would feel more carefree at the idea of being strange. Public opinion would matter less because we would have seen enough of the shallowness and reflex moralism of crowds. This would be our one life and we would know and we would have the courage to be the oddballs where we needed to be.
The words are the caption track's own and nothing is reworded or re-transcribed. Paragraph breaks are placed between sentences so the text reads as prose.
