The Interview

 Jordan Peterson has so many recorded videos of interviews. In this particular one, he argues that people require a noble aim, that they are not meant just to live at ease in materially wealthy Utopia without any meaning, work or challenges to uplift them.

He advises that we have some security and stability in our lives, but that we also have one foot out in the unknown so that we can keep alive, growing, working, striving and challenged.

 He then warns that goal achievement is not a permanent goal. We live alive, meaningful, satisfying lives more in striving than arriving. Being complete forever and a day would be boring, even maddening.

 

Becoming and improving is heaven rather than perfected, unending existence at sme level.

 

I agree with him: there is much wisdom stated here.
