Living 8 years as a squatter POOR & HAPPY | This or That

Hi guys, welcome back!

Here’s another episode of ‘This or that’.

Poor aren't happy or rich and miserable?

What do you think?

I want to be...

The best time I had in my life,

were the eight years in spent in a squatting place.

I had no money,

I had no work.

I was happy.

I was poor.

It was amazing.

I had food.

Every day I went to the market

and they would throw away food

Those spills was my food.

I was bloody happy all the time.

Free thinking.

I was not associated with the system,

‘normal’ people, you know.

I was able to think free.

I was happy.

And I was poor...

No I was RICH and happy, without money,

Cherished or a respected?

I would like to be respected.

Cherished is like...

You can be cherished like how your mother can cherish you,

That's all nice.

And others

I don’t like to be...

I’m not this little flower that needs to be cherished.

No, I like to be respected for what I do

and what I do

I want to make people better.

To bring out the best in themselves

and that's where I want to be respected for.

Yes.

Intense pain for 10 minutes?

or dull pain for the whole day?

Give me intense pain.

I love pain.

Sounds a bit sadomasochistic right?

That's why I go into the ice.

Stupid me

Going into icy water.

Who is so stupid to go for 10 minutes into icy water?

No give me pain for 10 minutes.

I’ll turn it into an exercise.

But it is getting dull when it is going on all day long.

10 minutes.

Misunderstood after death?

or forgotten after death?

If I have to choose between the two.

I think I go for misunderstood

because at a certain moment they will understand.

until then it's misunderstood.

It's all right.

You know why?

Because I've lived following the heart.

There is nothing I regret

That could be misunderstood.

But someday they will understand.

That man lived following his heart.

That's amazing.

Hero or antihero?

I think I'm an anti-hero.

Because when we look at Superman. Batman or Spiderman...

It's fictitious.

It's not real.

I want to show that the real ‘Superman’

is how to feel different than the ‘normal’.

Above the normal is to feel superb.

Just who you are and what you are unconditionally.

I'm the absolute anti-hero.

Happy endings or sad endings?

I know sad endings.

And I turned them into a happy happiness

and understanding a natural wisdom.

So I choose sad endings

to learn,

to acquire that power,

that sad endings never happen anymore.

Sad endings

Overly optimistic or overly pessimistic?

Optimistic!

In Dutch they say “Optimist tot in de kist.”

it means being an optimist until you are in the coffin.

And I am like that.

I foresee a future where we all are happy, strong and healthy.

That the most logical thing to do

is to be to be in charge of your own happiness, strength and health.

The rest is bulls&#t.

Overall optimistic!

The future is shiny and it's coming and we will bring it together

Hey guys thanks for watching this ‘This or that’.

Hey man...

Yeah.
