Respect Long-Term

[jhonny9546]

The way you learned to demand respect, to cut ties with people who didn’t show it, and who didn’t seem genuinely interested in you, did that lead, in terms of relationships, whether with friends or partners, to maintaining more “long-term” connections?

It almost seems as if people have fewer chances to make mistakes and be “forgiven,” which also means they may have less time to remain in a relationship with you.

Should we forgive the sosuave bot posters spamming us with AI generated content? The mods of this site obviously think we should.

It doesn't lead to "long term ties" with those who are demeaning towards you, no

At the end of the day a man has to do it all by himself. Women? Better learn quickly that they will come ( no pun intended) and go. Later friends will switch up on you and eventually you might even outgrow some family members...

"True" story: The viking men gave their sons a beautifully crafted sword and told them this is all you'll ever get from me in this life, the rest you gotta go get it YOURSELF.

Remember that

Beautiful analogy.
What do you think would replace the sword in the modern world?

That's a good question...

From the top of my head I came with a few options
-a car + license
- a bag of cash ( like..5000 or 10.000 bucks)
- or something worth the equivalent of like 5/ 10 bucks

With the clear notification that it's all he will get..
