“Like all human beings, I was never really satisfied,” the sitcom star said during a Just For Laughs keynote about the healing power of laughter in overcoming “anxious discontent' in people's lives.
Wilson, it turns out, did a redo at the comedy festival after appearing to be ungrateful and unfulfilled after his success on the popular sitcom. “Dozens and dozens of outrage-inducing clickbait articles for digital surfing pleasure: ‘Wait. What? That weird guy fromWilson added the podcast appearance came in the context of his just-released book,Rainn Wilson and the Geography of Bliss
“The point I was making to Bill, which was in context filled with nuance and vulnerability, was, just like all human beings, I was never really satisfied. Whatever success I had as an actor was never enough. When I was on, I went through periods of time when all I could focus on was the things that were not happening in terms of my career: money, fame, envy and prestige,” he told the Just For Laughs ComedyPro conference.
But far from being consumed by greed or ingratitude, Wilson went on to argue that, in hindsight, he now sees he was filled with Duḥkka, which he translated as “anxious discontent” and is what Buddhists often refer to as sorry, suffering and unhappiness. “However, it must be said you are also familiar with this idea if you work in insurance, solar panels sales, Uber-driving, or agriculture, or the manicure and pedicure industry, because Duḥkka is everywhere these days,” he added about ordinary people far from Hollywood fame being wired to feel anxious discontent over their own lives.
