What Happens When You Only Pursue Pleasure - Alan Watts The goal of this channel has always been to take the most empowering ideas and enhance them with art. Creating videos like this is my purpose on earth. When you find your purpose, nothing will stop you, because...the purpose is bigger than you. I don't care if I get paid to make these videos. The satisfaction of creating something like this exceeds any amount of fame or fortune. I hope you enjoy this and share it around.
