What's new

Acting on how you feel instead of acting on rational, long-term consequences is self destructive.

Relying on emotional manipulation for any kind of survival is parasitic.

What fortune has made yours is not your own.

Never give all the heart, for love
Will hardly seem worth thinking of
To passionate women if it seem
Certain, and they never dream
That it fades out from kiss to kiss;
For everything that’s lovely is
But a brief, dreamy, kind delight.
O never give the heart outright,
For they, for all smooth lips can say,
Have given their hearts up to the play.
And who could play it well enough
If deaf and dumb and blind with love?

As an adult, every person is an addition to your life, not a necessity. When you see another person as a necessity, you've emasculate yourself.

Women have the perception of wanting to emasculate men to turn them into workhorses. When you are single and moralized, you work for yourself, not for others.
