    this man has so many profound insights, we could make these types of
    animations forever

  6. mag turbo

    So WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?

  7. Bishop Brett

    very neat way of presenting the idea

  8. Stephen P Brown

    Can’t agree with the conclusion about this life philosophy. Really! Wake up
    and hear the music playing!

  9. Peter Gasca

    So the secret is to sing and dance along the way … it’s that simple.

    +Sheed Itaman, watch this 🙂

    I don’t think Matt or Trey helped with this. Their names are not anywhere
    to be found. The audio obviously isn’t either one of them. The animation
    looks like it was just kinda used as an example, because the actual people
    in the short don’t look ANYTHING like South Park characters. So, I’m
    calling BS. I don’t think Matt or Trey had anything to do with this.

    Love this. Play the music!

  13. Skyler Golden

    Pretty sure I’d get punched in the face repeatedly if I sang and danced
    everywhere.

  14. Kristy Metzger

    Enjoy life as it arrives…

    Yeah that is what the weekend is for. We need money for all the wonderful
    things we can do., Money encourages innovation, and innovation allows
    growth. Yes, we are not saving our money wisely and we are not using our
    lives more efficiently. However that issue relies more on the person’s
    personal preference than anything else.

    It’s the journey, not the destination.

    As many of you know, I spend a lot of my time with college students and
    young people dealing with issues related to careers and success. If I could
    get them all to give me just two minutes, I’d have them watch this
    wonderful clip that illustrates a recording of Alan Watts.

    Too many young people today think that their lives are on hold until they
    get to college, or graduate and start work, or start their family, or
    whatever mythical endpoint they have in their sights. And so they get
    discouraged with the journey and too often disappointed when they think
    they’ve reached their “destination.”

    It’s important to have a direction, if you can find one. If you don’t know
    where you’re going, you’re liable to wind up someplace else. (What they
    don’t tell you is that you’re likely to wind up someplace else anyway, but
    that’s another matter.) But it’s what you learn and see and contribute
    along the way that matters. And you never really arrive; there’s always one
    more hill to climb, one more bend in the road to see around.

    You must learn to find your success and fulfillment in the journey, because
    in the end, that’s what it’s all about.

    This is an important 2 minute bit on music and life. Don’t miss out.
    Warning–you might get depressed if you are on the pre-determined path.

  22. pineappleboyfilms

    Beautiful.

  23. Allen Thompson

    Don’t forget to sing and dance before you go.

  24. ThingsDemystified

    So what’s the point of this? To enjoy life while you’re trying to get to
    the “end?”

  25. Esar Kaye

    “And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who
    could not hear the music.” – Nietzsche

  26. TinoXtreme

    So true, so beautiful. Love it.

    My friend Jateen Hansjee has just introduced me to Alan Watts. ‪#‎Yoooooh‬!

    Alan Watts animated by Trey Parker and Matt Stone

  31. ShakinJamacian

    Wow, it blows my mind to see that Federico is an Alan Watts fan. I knew of
    him from his talks about automation and guaranteed incomes, but god *damn*.

    Wat is nou eigenlijk de bedoeling van het leven? Een van mijn favoriete
    filmpjes van Alan Watts geeft hier een mooie kijk op!
