Thoughts: Are we Truly Being

So this video is obviously taken not too long ago since my hair is short now and not long like in the other video.

I like to ponder things to myself a lot and this time decided to record it.
Below I have also written down what is said in the video.

" We're called humans being but are we truly being all that we could be or are you kinda just floating around life like a robot, from one thing to the next : more money, more popularity, bigger parties. Because like the tide comes and goes so will these materiel possessions, so will these connections; one day you'll have tons of friends the next week you won't, one day you'll have tons of money - same story. And I'm here to tell you if you haven't realized yet: true happiness doesn't come from objects, doesn't come from things, doesn't even come from complete connectivity with these associations that you think are gonna be forever because they're not going to be there for ever. The only one consistency in life is your own person, your own body and you're gambling everyday with the most precious thing on earth, your own life because you are chasing after these materialistic desires, these things that will momentarily give you joy. And you're gambling, you're taking a chance and hoping that they will lead you to a place of true happiness, but they won't they never will because just like the tide, just like the moon and the sun everyday - rotates. If you can be happy without anything, if you can be happy by yourself completely separated from everything, that's true happiness and that's what you should be working towards and working from that spot and stop listening to all these people telling you what to do and start listening to yourself, because "your self" is the one consistency in life.

And that is how you obtain true happiness." -Jeremiah Tribot Wade
