Generations of workers built it, knowing they would never live to see the end result.
That makes you wonder: do we have the conviction for intergenerational construction projects like it now?
I never met a beautiful woman that likes to be praised all the time. A symptom of a sure ugliness that lacks beauty. The moment beauty demands to be recognised, it is instantly blemished. Virtue, at its highest innocence, is unconscious of itself.
Adrenaline junkies are addicted to being present & nothing more than that. At a certain altitude and speed all cope, worry, & fear gets combed away. Theres no mental scaffolding to clutch. Its just you & the performance.
What a woman does during hard times is a critical assessment of her character
His eyes look so resigned and pathetic because there is no such thing as “getting back” a woman
She would have been dead to a good man when she abandoned ship for other men
A woman’s marryability is determined by her capacity to be supportive in times of difficult periods + her capacity for gratitude in times of high reward and ease
Physical beauty and other traits are a dime a dozen. They are an absolute minimum expected criteria for any good man — it’s every else that matters
Good men are likely to face failure and find themselves in desperate straits many times before extreme success hits. Good men do not create wealth linearly, this is the realm of the bug man
A good man’s dreams are sized equally to their probability of failure. They give everything to it because this is what is required to shift the probability. Such men go sideways for years, then they go vertical in a handful of months
Good women recognize these men, because they women are evolutionarily equipped to spot talent and make good long term bets. They also have enough soulfulness and perspicacity to fully appreciate the beauty and courage of a man’s life, where a lesser woman would be blind
Marriage is the union of two souls. If a woman picks a man, marries and has children with him — she has a critical choice to make
1. Does she actually consider her life, heart, mind and body a part of his, and therefore support his work and dreams every step of the way
2. Will she consider herself separate, with in the moment “trade offs” to assess (like a ghastly 2024 tinder swiping 18 year old) and burden him with even more drama during periods when his plate is overloaded, then ditch him for a life of greater short term ease
She chose (2), which is fine, but good men would never marry such a woman, because her tells are everywhere
And if she ever did leave, or even go so far as to cause too much unnecessary drama, she would be dead to him at precisely that moment
Every time he looks into her eyes, he will know that this is the woman who left him to ride other dicks while he was going through the hardest phase of his life
There is nothing more disgusting in a woman than acting like this, and nothing more pathetic in a man than to take her back
It’s also funny because woman who left a man will never respect him again if he takes her back. His lack of ability to have integrity and standards dries her vagina forever
The fact that he did take her back indicates one thing for sure: they both have no character, and therefore deserve each other. Her, to use him and gain the best of all worlds. Him, to brag about her, because despite her leaving to ride all dicks, he still believes she is the best he will ever have
They will fester in a low trust, superficial, manipulative and sexless relationship, eternally haunted by the knowledge of who each other really is — yet at heart, also understanding they are equally pathetic in all ways
Good men are givers. Ripe for exploitation
It’s a mindfuck when we come to understand that the best way to give is to prioritize ourselves
Alpha eats first
Nothing gets in the way of our growth
Our loves ones are most safe when we are selfish about our needs
The Most Dangerous Type of Person
Usually has the Calmnest Demeanour
And that is a Direct Consequence
Of that Danger is in Resolve
And when a man Resolves
Whatever he Resolves
And executes
Often enough
Such a man learns to resolve and do
And such is the most dangerous
