WEBVTT - More Frightened Than Hurt

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Up to SiZ Team. You're listening to The Daily Game,

0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:11.920
<v Speaker 1>the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years

0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>that I've found inspiring and helped me through the game

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:21.680
<v Speaker 1>of life. Today's quote comes from an ancient rollment philosopher

0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:24.720
<v Speaker 1>named Seneca. He's one of the first cats to really

0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:29.720
<v Speaker 1>reflect on life and people. Seneca said, we are more

0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:34.279
<v Speaker 1>often frightened than hurt, and we suffer more from imagination

0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:40.440
<v Speaker 1>than from reality. How about that. What he's saying is

0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:44.400
<v Speaker 1>that you know, in our brains we can go through

0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:49.519
<v Speaker 1>the same pain over and over and over again. We

0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:54.600
<v Speaker 1>can worry about things and suffer more than the actual

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:57.480
<v Speaker 1>thing ever happening. One of my quotes I always said

0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 1>is that worrying is like taking out a loan on

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:04.480
<v Speaker 1>a problem that may never happen. You're now spending a

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of energy based around what if, what if, what if?

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:13.320
<v Speaker 1>And it may never come. So we're more frightened than hurt.

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.679
<v Speaker 1>But like this, you're in a relationship, you spend the

0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:21.760
<v Speaker 1>whole relationship worrying about your girl leaving you, which means

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:25.679
<v Speaker 1>you're frightened but she never does. So you're more frightened

0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 1>than hurt, but you're still in that pain place and

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 1>you suffer more from your imagination than the reality. Ther

0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>reality is she still right there or he's still right there. Oh,

0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.959
<v Speaker 1>this hits close to home dealing with some of our

0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:45.759
<v Speaker 1>family members who have friends that are always saying, Oh,

0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:49.280
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna do this, or she's gonna do that and this,

0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like, there's no proof, there's no evidence. You

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 1>are just imagining it because you're reflecting on Oh, well,

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not up to par I'm not that person I

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:02.360
<v Speaker 1>should be. So they're gonna find somebody else, or they're

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:04.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna do this, or they're gonna do that. So you

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 1>live in this world of perpetual pain, but they haven't

0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>even hurt you yet. This is just where your brain is.

0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:15.160
<v Speaker 1>So there's a lot of deep layers here. Humans. We

0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:20.320
<v Speaker 1>put up guards as survival technique for the worst possible scenario,

0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 1>which makes sense that there's been some deep trauma in

0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:26.680
<v Speaker 1>your life. But we also let our imaginations dictate our

0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:30.840
<v Speaker 1>reactions rather than the reality of our past. Like I said,

0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:34.239
<v Speaker 1>this is some very multi level shit, but I like

0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:36.959
<v Speaker 1>that I'm gonna save one more time on the way out.

0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:41.400
<v Speaker 1>We are more often frightened than hurt, and we suffer

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:46.320
<v Speaker 1>more from imagination than from reality. Nun Less your imagination

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:53.679
<v Speaker 1>fuck your life up. This has been another ice cold

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 1>fact from me, iced tea. Listening again tomorrow when I

0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.960
<v Speaker 1>drop some wisdom on your ass till then stay, say

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 1>say smart, and stay knowing that there's often a difference

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:08.120
<v Speaker 1>between putting up your guard and worrying about what could happen.

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:13.320
