I actually really like his Zen-like approach to life
I'm not all for art being purely intellectual, 99% of all artists make their art because they want a nod or some kind of approval, so there actually is a certain goal to it most artists will not admit, in the end a piece of art, even though created out of the mind w. instruments, is more then just an expression most of the time.
I feel sports and art are very closely related anyway.
IMO
He needs to quit overthinking life, it ain't that complicated.
The point of life is to live, the more you live, the happier you are and the better you feel your life has become.
What living 'more' is, is up to the individual, I feel squatting and dunking on a dude gets me a huge rush, I also love the process, it's a challenge and I need to put forth my all and I truely enjoy a challenge in life, it makes me enjoy the moment and thus enjoy life.
I feel I don't live my life just to please others through the uselessness of the things I do in terms of survival ( might be the case tho).
Since it's my life, as a person and athlete I try to live life from my own perspective and do good from my point of view, that's all I need to know.
Not sure why or what he seeks to find with complex reasoning like this, even though it's quite interesting, I'm not sure where it'll take you.
If it takes you to a state of inactivity while he clearly is a talented athlete and must have enjoyed lifting those weights, then I think he's not going into the right direction.
Dude would make an awesome buddhist tho, except for his view on the getting pussy part he keeps referring to.
