I got to take a rest on the porch.

Imagination sets in.

Pretty soon I'm singing.

Do, do, do, nook it out by our back door. I love like a hobo.

I love that I'm just visually aging over the course of the Cush vlog as I'm like my life force is being drained out of me.

It's good.

Sick transit gloria.

You need to remember that at all times.

Maybe the most important thing you need to remember.

All is fleeting. Change is the only set constant.

Hashtag second law thermodynamics.

But if you really internalize that, like if you really internalize that,

like if you have that be your emotional response to all moments,

it has a cumulative effect because it really is the only way to free yourself

from like the shackles of human misery, suffering,

you know, caused by a desire that can never, ever be fulfilled.

And it's so funny because it's like, this concept is very much associated with Buddhism,

but I would argue that it's at the heart of every fucking religious and secular philosophical tradition.

It's the only way to square human existence is to detach yourself from the wheel of desire.

Because I think it's been pretty, in my mind,

it is as proven a metaphysical precept as there is, that the engine of human suffering

is desire because desire cannot be fulfilled.
