Specialist Guest: 'The Perfection Trap' Thomas Curran

In some ways, they're the most cutting pieces of feedback.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: 'The Perfection Trap' Thomas Curran

Because actually, the one star, when someone's tearing to pieces, they're telling on themselves a little bit.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: 'The Perfection Trap' Thomas Curran

And you can find that's kind of funny in a way.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: 'The Perfection Trap' Thomas Curran

You've annoyed someone that much.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: 'The Perfection Trap' Thomas Curran

there's apathy's upsetting isn't it yeah yeah yeah if it's someone's like meh then that's i think more upsetting than what you're saying and i actually agree with david sometimes i look at those one star reviews or someone's just completely venting and it's like i don't know there's something not comforting but in some way yeah god i thought it's like i guess it's a bit yeah

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: 'The Perfection Trap' Thomas Curran

No, it's not nonsense.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: 'The Perfection Trap' Thomas Curran

That's the epiphany.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: 'The Perfection Trap' Thomas Curran

Once you get your head around that, it's actually quite a moment because you realize that this is the way you're supposed to feel.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: 'The Perfection Trap' Thomas Curran

And a lot of people struggle with this kind of feeling and never enough as if that's my fault.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: 'The Perfection Trap' Thomas Curran

There's something I can't snap out of.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: 'The Perfection Trap' Thomas Curran

There must be something wrong with me.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: 'The Perfection Trap' Thomas Curran

um when in actual fact that's just the way the world works you're supposed to feel those things because you're supposed to consume and in order to uh finance that consumption um you take on that increasingly but also you're gonna need to work uh and so this is the hamster wheel that we're all on do we need unhappiness for that to work basically

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: 'The Perfection Trap' Thomas Curran

Possibly unhappiness, certainly discontent.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: 'The Perfection Trap' Thomas Curran

Like there has to be, you have to be constantly questioning your existing life circumstances.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: 'The Perfection Trap' Thomas Curran

Like at this moment in time, there is something I need over it be a material product and maybe it'd be a service, whether it be this moment in time, new front door.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: 'The Perfection Trap' Thomas Curran

Yeah.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: 'The Perfection Trap' Thomas Curran

But I think that's you pursuing, I guess, like your, your passion is scratching that, that itch that I guess had been in the background about expressing that creativity through comedy and that being something that's very important and meaningful to you.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: 'The Perfection Trap' Thomas Curran

And I think that, that is, that's the, I think that's the crux of happiness is, is pursuing our own talents and our own skills and being able to do that.

Chatabix
Specialist Guest: 'The Perfection Trap' Thomas Curran

Right.
