Reviews for "PP - Stonecutter"

Excellent animation, but pretty much every drunkard, obese moron, retard and imbecile can prove wrong your assertion that people have an inherent perfection and divinity. The only lesson in this parable is that the protagonist followed his desires, and they turned out to be recursive, as most desires do when we associate contentment with ambition. I don't mean to be insulting, but the "inherent divinity" conclusion is solace for the pathetic, telling them that their destitution is acceptable, that they should NOT aspire to anything else. Lionizing and perpetuating stasis does more to oppress a man than anything else. It is the will to power which guides one to greatness, and which you refute.
Regardless, great animation, and I enjoyed it.

I feel that as soon as one accepts their destitution, it becomes so much easier to change. Changing ones additude from "want" to "have" makes all the difference. I didn't say that nobody should aspire to anything else though, most of my videos are about following your dreams and creating your reality to something of light, love, and happiness :)

I thought this was a very nice and powerful cartoon. It mostly helps that you really have no idea what's going to happen at the end. I was thinking that maybe he was going to wish he could turn into a chisel. It's so cool to see how this character realizes what he was the whole time. Hopefully, he will turn back into a stonecutter at one point. I find it weird how he can become something else just be wishing to.

Well, I'm probably just being nitpicky, this was a great cartoon. The animation is decent and the sounds are very nice. Oh yeah, I'm a big Winnie The Pooh fan and I heard that was how he got his origin or whatever. You have a very sweet voice. Kids should see this.

NOTHING IS perfect when someone thinks that hes perfect or whatever others will think differently
if we where perfect we would never have diseases if we where perfect would be nothing nothing is more perfect since nobody can judge it or anything
and good work anyways

Even I have disagreed with your pseudoscience videos in the past, this one has a beautiful message.

Lol I like how if people just think about what they want to be, they can just be it. That is a fallacy. Sure anyone can believe they are something else but that doesn't make that person into that. That's call an illusion. I'm sorry but I can't take the idea that we are perfect, it just makes me laugh (no offense). I guess it depends on someone's perception but is it so bad to be flawed? Perfection, whatever someone's perception, cannot be reached. it is an unattainable goal that some people strive toward. But if someone was perfect, why would they "want" to be or have anything else. That means they wouldn't need anything if they were perfect (because wants corresponds to needs i.e. I want to live, so therefore I need food, water, etc (because people don't need to live, they want to live - evidence, people commit suicide every day)). This is saying that someone is perfect in whatever form or job they do and that they can change that form or job if they want and still be perfect. This hits me as if saying "well , your perfect now, why change?" and makes me feel as if I have no mobility because hey, I'm already perfect and because I'm perfect I don't have to have anything added or taken away from me. What this is saying is a contradiction unless people are suppose to stay in their place because that is the only way people would fill the criteria of being perfect (i.e not needing anything) . But people aren't happy being this so called "perfect." The average person (unless hes/she is a masochist) who consistently feels pain and stress doesn't think they are perfect because they want to be happy. The only way to achieve that happiness is to change and perfection doesn't need to change. Ergo, the argument is false. The only true perfection is God for he needs nothing to subsist and everything subsists from him (he doesn't need to change). Calling humans divine is funny because we need so much to simply exist.

My bad if i got you wrong and interpreted this in a different way then you meant it to come out but this is what i got from it. If you can reply to me that would be nice but please defend or elaborate on what you were trying to say and not attack my belief in God because that would just be avoiding my question. My question is how does this make logical sense? (no offense btw, I just don't get it)

RiverJordan responds:

What is your definition of perfection? We create our own realities, and so in creating a miserable life, that's an experience the person gave themselves as they were walking the path of life. Now i agree, not all life experiences are the most 'pleasant', but who are we to judge a good life for a bad. If you've seen the other parables, you might see how this one fits into the overarching theme. Everything just "Is", and at the end of the day, it doesn't matter anyways. You can change your reality to be whatever you want, but perfection comes from an understanding of the "Is". God is Perfect, but we are all fractals of the same God~Source that created everything. We exist in the universe, we are part of the universe, we are the universe.
