1
For a very long time, I could not cope with the word loss.
2
I hated to lose something.
3
I hated to be a loser, whether that be literally something as small as I lost my favorite lip product or I lost a good friend.
4
So as I've gotten older, I've had to come to the realization that loss or being a loser is sometimes a part of life.
5
But then one day, I was like, wait a minute, I can't even control my breath I can't control my body
6
in regards of its health something could go wrong tomorrow
7
and all I can do is try my best to prevent
8
that from happening but ultimately I cannot control it so
9
if I don't own my own breath can I ever lose something
10
that was never mine to begin with because
11
if you think about it in order to lose something means it was in your possession
12
that you had full control over said object noun whatever it may be person place your thing
13
and that's not the case because if it was truly mine
14
and i was the owner i could never lose it meaning i never lose
15
because it was never mine and i love that because
16
that makes me never a loser but i will go ahead
17
and explain why the philosophy psychology and even my own religion islam
18
and a lot of theological religions point to this exact fact where you are not a loser
19
or more eloquently you can't lose because it was never yours
20
if you're new to my channel my name is sahar
21
or sahar and i am a professional yapper self -proclaimed philosopher
22
and i really just i am the thought daughter nothing is
23
ever not not deep everything is deep even the mere concept
24
of losing things anyway i digress let's get into this video starting off with the philosophy
25
and like most things every time i have a thought
26
and i look to philosophy i discover that it's been experienced
27
and evaluated way before my time and within
28
that i realize i will never be the creator of something new
29
but i will always have evidence to my creation it's all
30
about reframe anyway epictetus in his book in credian has a line
31
that was very radical at the time
32
that he dropped it essentially he says never say of anything i have lost it
33
but i have restored it has your child died it is
34
restored has your wife died she is restored has your estate been taken away is not this also restored and
35
if you notice this phrasing he doesn't say don't care he
36
says restore to epictetus the universe is a landlord like everything
37
you enjoy your partner your wealth your job even your health
38
is a temporary property handed to you basically as a loan
39
even buddhism actually has this exact same concept um called upadana
40
which is clinging or grasping um suffering doesn't happen
41
because things change suffering happens because things are constantly moving
42
and we are standing there screaming at the river to freeze
43
into solid ground impermanence isn't the interruption of life it is life
44
so if this idea is a thousand years old why does it hurt
45
so badly still i think humans evolve
46
but we never evolve in this aspect of things you know i mean
47
if something was discovered thousands of years ago we are able to build upon
48
that within science but for some reason within philosophy
49
it's never built upon within our own self -understanding
50
because we still go through the same struggles
51
and it's about going back to
52
that to understand them there's this thing called person illusion
53
and essentially within person illusion you fall in love
54
or you build a deep friendship so you think you have them
55
but people are not real estate they are not autonomous agents within your life
56
and there are trajectories that happen to intersect with yours
57
and for their life
58
and that's the reason why you guys are even in each other's worlds loving someone deeply
59
while recognizing you have no place in their future life is actually the purest form of affection
60
because regardless of if they exist within your world or
61
if they choose you back you still love them
62
and isn't the purest version of love what we all aim to be able to extend to another person
63
so why is it that whenever it's not that easily attainable
64
and love isn't easy we start to think that
65
that means we lost the person there's also this thing called opportunity illusion
66
so think about you spending six months pitching a project you
67
build the decks you rehearse the lines even imagine this great launch
68
and within this entire process you didn't just want the outcome
69
you colonize the entire concept of what it's going to feel
70
like what it's going to be like the person you are going to be in
71
that moment and the thing is whenever that opportunity or outcome goes to someone else, you actually just feel robbed now.
72
But you weren't robbed of a future, you're robbed of an assumption.
73
Meaning you did not lose a future opportunity, you lost an assumption that you made in your mind of what it would be like, what it's going to happen, how you're going to feel,
74
assuming the outcome is going to be in your favor.
75
Now I'm going to stop being preachy and tap into a little bit of reality, what the pessimist wants to hear,
76
or even self -proclaimed realist one really ear -leading pessimist um sometimes this can become a toxic habit
77
so within philosophy there's this thing called spiritual bypassing
78
and you can consider this the dark side of philosophy um it's a term coined by psychologist john wellwood
79
and it's when you use philosophical ideas to duck under the hard work of actual human emotion
80
so if you yell it was never mind the second something doesn't work your way
81
or breaks your heart you aren't being epictetus in that moment you are actually being just terrified.
82
It's essentially a self -protection mechanism where if nothing is yours then nothing can hurt you so you aren't trying anymore.
83
You don't pitch the ambitious project, you don't open up to your partner, you essentially keep one foot in and one foot out of everything
84
that could potentially have the power to hurt you just
85
so in the end you can sit back
86
and say you see it was never mine and that's not the right way to go about it okay.
87
That's ultimately not wisdom, that's emotional cowardice.
88
You see grief is the tax we pay for being brave enough to attach to things in a temporal universe.
89
If you don't feel the sting of the loss you never really honor the value of what you had.
90
Now for the psychology aspect of things there's a concept called psychological ownership theory.
91
Research has found that your brain doesn't differentiate very well between your physical arm and your intangible assets meaning your job title, your relationship status, subscriber count,
92
five -year plan, etc. So when you control something or you know it intimately or invest any effort into it,
93
your brain fuses it into your natural self -map and it becomes mine.
94
Meaning that when a person leaves or a contract falls through, your brain doesn't register it as an event.
95
It's literally seen as literal dismemberment, losing a body part.
96
So you aren't just missing an opportunity, you are now missing a part of your identity, a part of what makes you you
97
and again the phrase it was never mine isn't supposed to
98
make you care less it's designed to fix your accounting it's a tool to remind your brain
99
that you are mistaking a lease for a deed of ownership so
100
if the person wasn't yours the job wasn't yours the home
101
wasn't yours what is even ours well what do i own in this world that's the real question
102
because i'm tired of losing i don't want to lose what do i own
103
and the answer to
104
that is what's left is what's built inside of you the capacity to love
105
that you expanded while you were with them that is yours the discipline
106
and skill you developed while grinding for that failed venture
107
that is yours the integrity in which you handle that collapse
108
that is yours you can never lose that
109
so you don't lose you release what was borrowed
110
and you retain what was forged the external world can repossess the house it cannot repossess the character
111
that you built throughout the journey Even within Islam, I think the reason why this concept even really started going in my mind is
112
because we are very aware we don't even control our next breath.
113
I'm not in control of anything that I do in my life.
114
It's quite literally qadr.
115
It's up to Allah's will.
116
So then what can I control?
117
And I think
118
that is the ultimate question people ask whenever they try to
119
figure out what the point of us being on earth is
120
because if everything's written
121
and we are already destined for certain things why am I
122
here what is the point of me going through things
123
if I have very little control
124
and that's kind of what got me spiraling into like figuring out okay
125
so what what is the purpose what is the point what am I supposed to do here and that's
126
when I realized oh there are things in my control there
127
are things of how I can perceive loss there's ways
128
that I can show up whenever I'm sad
129
when I don't get the way I want there's ways I
130
can build discipline in order to make do ah to get the ways
131
that I want there's actually a lot in our control but
132
when we focus too much on the things
133
that are out of our control is where we feel lost
134
but remember you can never lose because it was never yours
135
but you can always win
136
if you focus on what is i need to find a way to make
137
that line cute on the other end
138
if you'd like to read more about this i wrote about my sub stack
139
but this is really just a short video to explain my life motto obviously borrowed from epictetus
140
but i didn't know it when i created it
141
so maybe he maybe he knew I was gonna exist and wanted to borrow from me all right bye

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
