00:00This is the railway platform. You have paid for the tea and you are waiting for him to deliver.
00:08He says five minutes more sir, the tea and the other scuff he ordered is getting ready.
00:12From the corner of one eye you can see the train beginning to crawl away.
00:19And you insist you are missing out on the meals.
00:22Behind all FOMO is the fear of missing out on what life has the potential to deliver to each of us.
00:32Yes, you are missing out, but on what?
00:36When I know who I am, then I know what is important for me.
00:41But since we don't know ourselves fully enough, so we don't read the message, we don't read our insights.
00:50So there is a general kind of anxiety with no specific object whatsoever.
00:57A general kind of objectless anxiety.
01:00I am missing out on something. What does that prove?
01:07We are missing out on freedom from that which is not needed but is still desired.
01:15And if that freedom can be there, then you do not require anything else.
