Drck said:But what does it mean to have more success? What does it mean to be successful? If you get deeper into it, you will realize that 'success' is rather just something abstract, something that usually societal trend dictates us, something what we just (many times) follow blindly, without thinking...
The classical success in USA can mean to have for example a good education, good job, good salary, nice house, nice wife... So you work hard, you invest your time and effort, and after couple of years you achieve this success... But now you realize:
* You own tremendous money on college loans, you will have to keep paying off the great education for 10 or 20 years...
* You achieve that great corporate job. But now you have to listen to some punk who has half education than you, who didn't have as good grades as you in school but who become your boss because he has some business degree, or friends who own the company
* You have good salary, but now you have to pay high taxes, at the end of the month you have some money left, but nothing to brag about...
* You have a nice and big house, but now you tied yourself down to 30 years of payments, most of your salary goes to that house...
* You learned GC, you practice couple years, and now you have a nice wife you always dream of. Or had. She was great looking in her early 20's. Now she's in her mid 30's, she has 50 more pounds. She is depressed and anxious, she is snappy and bitchy, she threatens you with divorce because it is always you who causes all her misery. Your balls are now blue because no matter what you do - good or bad - you will not get rid of lawyers... You will have to just pay more and more...
* She may eventually divorce you anyway, now you have to pay child support for kids that you are not allowed to see, and you have to pay alimony for your wife because she has no real life skills - while you were working your ass off all these years and feeding the whole family, she was this good and faithful "house wife" because you felt so sorry for her pretty face... Why would she, the pretty girl, have to work as hard as you?
* So you are divorced now, depressed and drinking... You don't know what else to do... You open online and google this stuff, and now you find something about Red Pill and MGTOW... You find out that there are thousands guys just like you, who are getting screwed and screwed, over and over... You find out that your great wife was probably fucking behind your back with some losers, because you - hard working and honest guy who cares about success and family - was just too boring for her...
* As if it wasn't enough, you became to believe that it is you who is the loser. You have or had all these great things defined as "success", you followed your dream the best way you could have, but now you realized that you are nothing more than corporate slave at work, and societal slave at home... You have to pay brother, pay, pay and pay... You have to pay because it is you who is the highly motivated working corporate horse... Think having your own business is much different? Think again brother, you might ended up as even bigger "successful" horse...
LOL, and you are f*cking screwed. Your "success" has just perished in front of your eyes...
But anyway, I just wanted to ask - how do we define success? What is it success?
Drck,
Just go away, man. Seriously.
You hijack every post and spout the same shit over and over. Just leave it alone.
