A short excerpt from a YouTube video by Eckhart Tolle ("The Story in Your Mind That Creates Suffering") in which Tolle explains that mental illness manifests as significant dysfunction and that much suffering arises because people construct negative narratives about otherwise neutral life events. He emphasizes that labeling events as 'bad' through an internal story amplifies suffering.
