The 2 rarest types of men are:
1. Actual alphas at the top of their chosen hierarchy.
2. Strong sigma types who don't care about hierarchical power games, but still respect the hierarchy/the alphas at the top.
Guilt inevitably corrupts the pleasure of all sinful behavior that feels good in the moment. Joy inevitably redeems the pain of all righteous behavior that often feels like pain in the moment.
Disliking the truth doesn't make it less true.
Atheists struggle with this. They can't accept how reality truly is, so they invent realities of their own, but since you can't bend reality, they struggle even more.
Embracing god is largely about radical acceptance of reality.
With god, pain is embraced as an essential mode of sublimation. God designed us to be antifragile. Sublimatable. Spiritually invincible. Loving in a world of violence. Immortal in a world of decay.
If there's no god, moral relativism is real, and every psychopath is validated. The joker is validated for perpetuating chaos. Survival of the fittest is legitimate. Racism is legitmate.
Protestant god is like a single mom who acts a fool and doesn't really care what you do.
Catholic god is like a loving but strict father who keeps the standards high and leads by perfect example.
Therapy complicates all your problems to where you're an endlessly deep, unique paradox that needs special attention and modern psychiatric methods to be resolved.
The truth is simpler. We're all imperfect, and we need god to become as close to perfect as we can ever be.
Modern life is so comfortable that people think comfort is a basic human right.
In truth, suffering is the human condition baseline, and now we have to actively seek it if we want to stay alive spiritually.
Protestant worship feels like partying, jumping and shouting, crying hysterically.
Catholic worship feels like you're genuinely a samurai. Deep, serious, zen-like.
When you think of true peace, you don't think of partying. You think of stillness and reverence.
If your a woman, at least be a seductive but deadly siren who lures in men with sweetness and then destroys their life while making them think they're winning.
If your a man, at least conquor and enslave your enemies.
Hot take: If you're going to be toxic, just don't align your toxicity with opposite gender. Modern women acting like frat bros is not it. Modern men acting like ghey pussies is not it. These are contortions of nature.
