I would say the meaning of life is to do

what you want to do

2:18

and not care what other people think

2:21

what is the meaning of life many of Life

2:24

fun enjoy yourselves take it how it

2:27

comes what's meant to be is going to be

2:28

just have fun

2:30

and be happy and

2:33

just do what you want realistically

2:34

because nobody cares there is another

2:36

side to it like the fact that things are

2:38

meaningless doesn't mean they're bad

2:40

um and it's actually quite liberating

2:44

um when you know you can just sort of

2:46

let go of all these values and just

2:49

chill basically what makes your life

2:52

meaningful family

2:56

3:27

3:35

4:23

4:25

4:27

it's a coincidence I was just looking

4:31

4:58

yeah okay so I would become a member of

5:01

easy English and improve my English with

5:03

you

5:04

swell

5:06

how do you manage to to keep this

5:09

positivity and this

5:12

it's just well it's like every day as it

5:15

comes and just I mean it's been hard for

5:17

a lot of people the last couple years

5:19

what's happened but it's all about pay I

5:22

know a lot of people suffer from

5:24

depression and everything we all do but

5:27

maybe I'm one of the lucky ones that can

5:29

cope with it and get on with it but I

5:32

know a lot of people friends of mine

5:33

that they can't

5:35

so I've experienced a lot of things in

5:37

my life ex-military

5:39

been in bombs in Israel everything you

5:42

know through terrorist attacks and here

5:45

yeah it takes a lot out of you but

5:48

I managed to deal with it and I get all

5:50

my life you know

5:52

I would say that's the meaning of life

5:53

it's just doing what you want to do and

5:55

not caring about other people but also

5:58

caring about other people if that makes

6:00

any sense I feel like it's a very

6:02

complex question yeah and I do believe

6:04

that it makes sense absolutely because I

6:07

think kind of not very much different

6:09

I've had the good balance between doing

6:12

what you want to do but also

6:14

understanding you should help other

6:16

people I think Life's too short to be

6:18

depressed I mean just well as happens

6:20

you can't change the past can't change

6:22

the future it's going to be what's going

6:23

to be it's going to be just to go with

6:25

it that's great and what do you do to

6:27

keep yourself energetic and motivating

6:30

motivated and happy lots of caffeine

6:34

and more alcohol they're always as a

6:36

joke thank you I'm you have a follower

6:40

what makes you

6:42

stand up from your bed every morning

6:45

what what gives you energy what gives

6:48

you this belief that what you do that

6:50

what you do has the meaning it's

6:54

important you should do it

6:57

I think everyone needs to have a goal in

6:59

life and where they want to get to

7:01

ultimately to make themselves feel as I

7:03

said fulfilled and happy so just working

7:05

towards your goal every day do you think

7:07

this meaning of life is something what

7:12

science could teach or is it always

7:16

depending on your yourself so it's

7:18

always different by every and each

7:21

person

7:22

I think it's completely dependent I

7:25

think if people want to believe that

7:26

science is the answer to everything then

7:28

they can believe that but

7:30

also because of religion and stuff a lot

7:33

of people believe different things and I

7:35

think that's what makes life so good is

7:36

that people believe different things

7:38

it'll be boring if everyone thought the

7:39

same thing when I opened my restaurant

7:42

I want this written on the wall

7:45

existence is meaningless if everything

7:48

were to somehow be destroyed the total

7:50

value of the loss would be zero one day

7:52

the substance that comprises you at that

7:54

particular time will be arranged by the

7:56

great laws of causation in such a way

7:58

that you die

8:00

until that day of relief you only have

8:02

your irrelevant thoughts and your

8:04

sensory perceptions and that's why you

8:06

should not waste time eating bad food

8:09

so thanks for watching this week's

8:11

episode today janesh thank you for
