Statistics: The strongest predictor of men’s happiness and well-being is their job satisfaction, by a large margin—and the strongest predictor of job satisfaction is whether men feel they are making an impact on their companies’ success. This measure, the study finds, is influenced by whether men feel they are using their own unique talents at work, whether they are surrounded by a diverse set of perspectives, how easily and often they can chat with co-workers, whether they feel their opinions are valued, and whether they’re inspired by the people they work with. Men who have high job satisfaction are highly likely to be content in other aspects of their life. Men at work are more likely to be men at ease with themselves. Everything else—contentment at home, in relationships and friendships—flows down from men being satisfied at work.
Commentary: In other words, self-esteem is determined by whether you are gainfully employed or having to depend on others for support, ie: family handouts, government welfare, church charity. When a man is under-employed or jobless, he tends to drift into a downward spiral of crime—addictions and predatory behavior. Bottom line men need to earn and pay their own way.

Commentary: When you love somebody, you receive joy by giving tangible gifts to your loved one. The only way to make human interactions is through fiscal transactions. However, if you become broke, you can’t give anything of value anymore—so what can you do, to let your loved ones know—you’re thinking about them? You could offer them your time, but after a while, you’d become annoying and nobody would want you around, especially if you have your own opinions. In the end your heart would have to move on, along with your love for them, causing your heart to become jaded, because it was only being used for gain.

“One of the problems is that a lot of toxic relationship habits are baked into our culture. We worship romantic love—you know, that dizzying and irrational kind. Men and women are encouraged to objectify each other and to objectify their romantic relationships. Thus, our partners are often seen as achievements or prizes rather than someone to share mutual emotional support.” Excerpts from 6 Toxic Relationship Habits Most People Think Are Normal

Love is a broad, broad word. I was caught up in the moment! I didn’t really mean to hurt anyone? And besides, now you know, That it wasn’t going to work out. This follows me around, And there’s nothing, I can do about it. All I can speak on, is my truth.
Spanish Translation
El amor es una palabra amplia, muy amplia. ¡Estaba atrapado en el momento! ¿Realmente no quise lastimar a nadie? Y además, ahora ya sabes, Que no iba a funcionar. ¡Esto me sigue, siempre! Y no hay nada que puedo hacer al respecto. Lo único que puedo decir, es que esta es mi realidad.

“I’ve been in six total relationships and all of them were short lived. While this helped me to grasp a better idea of why people leave me so early, I still feel like I did fine with them and it’s confusing. I get paranoid that they have reasons that they aren’t telling me and it leads to distrust in all of my relationships, platonic or romantic. I can’t tell if it changed me for better or worse, or if I just haven’t found my someone special yet. Having irrational fears of being left alone is depressing because I can’t explain what happened or why I’m getting so worked up over it. There are times when I worry so much about my friends not liking me that I simply act on impulse and say dumb things. More often then not, it’s hard to explain to people how heartbreak can change a person. I’m making an effort to return to a better, more whole version of me, although progress is difficult.
When you’re married, you really can’t leave except for a very few reasons and they need to be big. It needs to be something like domestic assault, adultery, or illegal activity. If you’re not married yet, then you can leave for smaller reasons. But marriage is supposed to be something sacred. You really got to think long and hard before making those lifelong vows, particularly the part about for better or worse. If your partner starts getting to the point where you’re carrying too much of the load, you have to verbally confront them on it, and if they leave because they didn’t like that confrontation, at least it’s not your fault.
I have one major issue with this video, namely the “emotional connection” part. The problem I have, is that people forget oxytocin stops producing after so long and that feeling of “being in love” is no longer there. This is where it is up to that person to remind themselves what the core components of the person they loved are and to CHOOSE to love them still. Love is odd, it starts out as a sensation, evolves to a choice, then becomes a sensation again. Getting married is supposed to say “I know there’s going to be a point where I question this, but as long as we don’t cheat or beat on each other, we can work it out”. If you know that you can be open with your emotions with others, but NOT with the person that you love, that’s a big problem that you need to address sooner than later. Don’t be ashamed of whether or not you feel wide open with someone. What’s important is that you both feel, not only safe with one another, but brave. Cognitive empathy over emotional. Needing each other is not ‘toxic’, but necessary. This is the best checklist you’ll ever get for romantic relationships.
“Fearlessness is what love seeks,” Hannah Arendt wrote in her magnificent early work on love and how to live with fear. “Such fearlessness exists only in the complete calm that can no longer be shaken by events expected of the future […] Hence the only valid tense is the present, the Now.” This notion of presence as the antidote to fear and the crucible of love is as old as the human heart, as old as the consciousness that first felt the blade of anticipatory loss pressed against the exposed underbelly of the longing for connection. Excerpt from The Four Buddhist Mantras for Turning Fear into Love
“To love without knowing how to love, wounds the person we love. To know how to love someone, we have to understand them. To understand, we need to listen […] Understanding someone’s suffering is the best gift you can give another person. Understanding is love’s other name. If you don’t understand, you can’t love!” Excerpts from “To love without knowing how to love wounds the person we love.”

“Perhaps you’ve come across the term ‘toxic masculinity’ before. If so, you might know this concept describes the ways society’s gender-based expectations for men can breed unhelpful characteristics and behaviors, including aggression, difficulty expressing emotions, and excessive self-reliance. But psychologists and researchers have also started to consider a similar topic, ‘toxic femininity.’ In a nutshell, this term describes the potentially negative impact of society’s standards for women […] The definition of the term can vary slightly, depending on the source. A common anti-feminist misconception suggests it means using ‘feminine’ qualities to manipulate men. Yet most experts agree toxic femininity involves restricting your behavior to fit stereo-typically feminine traits that men supposedly find pleasing. Toxic femininity can affect your health and well-being in many ways by increasing stress levels, sabotaging your sense of identity, contributing to a feeling of powerlessness, and leading to unhealthy relationships… Excerpt from Toxic Femininity, Explained—Plus, Tips to Overcome This Mindset

Commentary: The number one mistake women make, when they begin a romance, is to allow their old failed relationships to have a voice in the courtship—when they do, their new relationship is doomed. Emotionally stable guys on the other hand, don’t suffer from these tendencies. Could that be the reason why there are so many “InCels”—because there are too many damaged women in America? Is there a correlation between the number of loose women—and loser guys in the community? In other words, it’s a losing proposition to start off with, and then the mutual disgust and contempt sets in, leading to cynicism and rejection. The modern cliché: “Only the lonely can play”, basically means that if you’re a player, you’re destined to remain a swinger all of your life.
“Mrs. Eberstadt has written, with an embarrassing accuracy, how the go-go ’60s planted the seeds of this devilish, soul-killing angst our society is writhing under today. Her book “Adam and Eve after the Pill”. It connects the dots from the tearing down of not just American institutions, but a righteous and wise way of life. “Tearing down” was 14 train stops ago. We are flirting with the suicide of one of the grandest experiments in world history. Like a country of homicidal maniacs, we tear and rip at morality. We lunge for its throat. Rage rules America. The country stumbles about, screaming, cursing, tearing at its own eyes. Murder. Wickedness. Loss of a sense of true self and purpose. What I find simply insane is how a good portion of the alleged grown-up population embraces oppression, the crazy notion that a politician or bureaucrat will have our best interests at heart. We’re awash in intellectual stubbornness, stupidity and phantasmagoria—the belief that the most preposterous falsehood is true. Wisdom is an endangered species. Modern souls we, we laugh at the corniness of holy book-thumping ancestors with their tedious thee’s and thou’s. We long ago stopped scoffing at an ancient word—wicked. Today, “wicked” is something spectacularly yet subtly cool. The origin of “wicked” is unknown, but, first accounts connect it to the Old English term for a witch, a sorcerer, someone or some thing that casts a spell. “Wicked” appeared 119 times in the 1611 version of the King James Bible. Today, in the 2001 English Standard version, it appears just 61 times. And yet, I’d place a small wager that all of us, no matter what our religion, spiritual path or complete indifference, can, at the end of the day, ask themselves a simple question: “What did I do that was wicked today?” It’s a darn squirmy word. Even on my best of days, I can look back at the end to reflect and wince. Yup. I did—something—wicked. Small, perhaps. But, wicked nonetheless. Mrs. Eberstadt tirelessly writes that while we’ve always had our dark side and darker urges, as a society, we’ve pretty much abandoned our acknowledgement of the wicked. In fact, we unknowingly worship—wickedness.” Excerpt from John Boston | The Fatal Social Disease of the Sexual Revolution

I wish I would’ve never met her! When I was a boy, we lived in a house with a big back yard. One night, I had a dream that I was running out the back door chasing an angel—who appeared to be about the same age as me, and as I chased her, she seemed to be floating away and the faster I ran, the farther away she got, until I ran into the back gate. I was left crying because we were both reaching out to each other—I saw her sad face as she floated away into the clouds and then I woke up. I wonder to this day if I had reached her, would she have taken me to heaven, instead of leaving me behind, to endure this hell?
Obsession
How do I forget it, even though it only happened for a moment? I didn’t want to wake up this morning because you were in my dreams with that same unreadable face, that I can’t erase. It feels like my heart is being stepped on, while it burns. Why do I still feel this way, as if I couldn’t be any more broken? I know I’m alive, but you want to finish me off. I see my life ending, I tried to do the right thing, to walk away with a sad smile and forgive and forget, but you consume my thoughts, like a demon trying to steal a soul, that’s already dead and not worth anything. I don’t know what to do, I wish I had never told you, that I loved you.
Delusion
After the heartbreak, you’re humbled; the pain slows you down; and your spirit is gone. It’s funny how I think that I’m okay now, but I’m not! When you’re alone, your hurt is all you got and feeling something is better than nothing, but why would I still want to feel broken? It’s odd how smiling and laughing, comes more freely now. I’m not wondering so much, not bingeing so much and when I’m talking to someone else, you’re not on my mind anymore. Can heartbreak save a life, before you came, I didn’t care. Now I want to live and even though it seems, like it’s been years. I’m grateful for that moment, thank you for making me cry, because I haven’t shed happy tears for the longest time. I’m sorry for being the wrong man for you, but like I’ve said over and over again, I will move on. Now I know better, that you should never tell a friend that you love her. The life I used to live was fast, like as if I was running out of time, but you brought good into my life and I have been trying to do better. Like you used to say, it’s crazy how somebody can change you from a distance. Today was okay, I will work some more tomorrow and it goes on. I believe that I’m going to be okay and I hope I will.
Consolation
People are interesting, the human mind will never be understood, new knowledge is yet to be discovered, every day we learn something different. Some people can take the world by the hand and have it all, except for love. However people that are in love are the worst off, because they are willing to give it all away for unrealistic love. But if anybody finds real love they are on a natural high; an adrenaline rush; lost in the sauce; gone with the wind. I never believed it until now, that love is the best drug, because I would use it, to take advantage, but now it uses me. Life can also be silly, but you got to love it, otherwise it can become toxic, its a hard life, nothing is guaranteed. Life is a blessing that you may never truly understand, some people have it all without knowing, something like winning the lottery. Accomplishing everything in life isn’t satisfying any more, so many people are lost in their imagination, that they can’t see the good things around them, but by then it’s too late. There aren’t too many second chances for love anymore.

In the battle of the sexes there are winners and losers and if you can’t command respect from the onset, you don’t stand a fighting chance. Even thought modern women feign that they want their prospective mate to only bring polite manners to the table, at the end of the day, all that hype goes out the window, when they fall for the smooth talker who can wield power over them, via looks, notoriety, money or domination. That’s why it’s so important, that young women are taught by their parents to not yield to their biological instincts, otherwise they will end up alone, bitter and cynical—if they allow themselves to be disrespected by modern barbarians who are only interested in toying with their emotions and then tossing them out to the trash heap of losers.

“I was in a beautiful relationship. I shared with her, some of my insecurities as the relationship grew deeper, however that eroded her interest in me over time. She had been an amazing partner and friend up to that day? After that turn of events, I sat down with my mom and explained to her what had happened to us, she immediately told me: ‘that I had made a huge mistake, and that I should now be mature enough to know, that you never share your insecurities or weaknesses with a girl, no matter how much love you believe exists in the relationship, she’ll lose interest, if she’s a good girl, or use it against you, if she’s a bad one’. Advice from a woman that had decades of successful marriage with my dad. Ignore all those female dating coaches that tell you to be emotionally open, share your pain, etc. I found out the hard way, that a man is absolutely never supposed to show vulnerability in front of women, because they just don’t understand!”
“She is challenging him, that’s disrespectful to him. Why should anyone be entitled to challenge anyone, if not to shame or disregard his opinion, values and ideas. If he allows her to challenge him, she wouldn’t care about, what he has to say and wouldn’t even try to understand why he thinks that way. Because he will say whatever she wants to hear and will become submissive. She will be the one leading the conversation and ultimately the relationship to its end, when she looses interest in him.”
“Young women are hard-wired to procreate and become wives and mothers. However young men need to be trained to become leaders, husbands and dads. If the couple is not faithful to each other and their gender roles, the nuclear family melts down and the community as a whole suffers from the fall-out.”
Commentary: The hardest lesson every young adult has to learn is that they are not the main character in everybody’s story. You are the protagonist of your own story, and all things being even, you were the main character in your enabling parent’s story, but now that you’ve grown up, you’re not. So no matter how much you want to be the main character in somebody’s story, your only fooling yourself, because until you are in a legitimate, committed family relationship, your wishful thinking doesn’t really matter to anybody.

“I’m grateful for all the Christians—who have shared their light with me, all these past years, so that mine, wouldn’t dim. I’m thankful for all the non-believers—who have tolerated my little light to shine upon them, too. I pray for all—who have received “the Light Of Christ” to also find gratitude in their hearts.” By: ElRoyPoet, 2022
Commentary: In order “to take a leap forward”, I must acknowledge that I have a past. In order “to be born again”, I need to accept that I was dead in sin. It takes courage to progress, you must come to the sad realization that your life is stagnant and going nowhere, you must admit that you’re a fraud—who is just trying to “keep up appearances”. We need to learn from history, even to the point of being grateful for all those ordeals we’ve had to endure. Only then can we appreciate all the work Jesus and His Disciples; and our fore fathers did, on our behalf. Can you imagine what our lives would’ve been like, if we didn’t have the Bible and the Constitution to help us govern ourselves? Heaven forbid!
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Bible, Psalm 119:105
Commentary: When we spend our time pursing earthly pleasures and treasures, we become lost at sea. It’s only when we have our lives anchored on “The Rock Of Ages” that we can withstand the crashing waves that engulf us. So how do you navigate back to safe harbors? Every day you make choices, that determine the direction your heart will travel. Will you seek to know your Savior, or will you become more acquainted with the world? If you decide to read the Bible, you will also choose to look for the good in God’s creations.
“If you are now wondering where to look for consolation, where to seek a new and better God, a new and better faith, you will surely realize, in your present loneliness and despair, that this time you must not look to external, official sources, to Bibles, pulpits, or thrones, for enlightenment. Nor to me. You can find it only in yourself. And there it is, there dwells the God who is higher and more selfless… The sages of all time have proclaimed Him, but He does not come to us from books, He lives within us, and all our knowledge of him is worthless unless He opens our inner eye. This God is in you too. He is most particularly in you, the dejected and despairing… Search where you may, no prophet or teacher can relieve you of the need to look within… Don’t confine yourself… to any other prophet or guide. Our mission is not to instruct you, to make things easier for you, to show you the way. Our mission is solely to remind you that there is a God and only one God; He dwells in your hearts, and it is there that you must seek Him out and speak with Him.” Excerpt from Hermann Hesse on Hope, the Difficult Art of Taking Responsibility, and the Wisdom of the Inner Voice
“Then Jesus said, ‘This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless the Father has granted it to him.’ From that time on many of His disciples turned back and no longer walked with Him. So Jesus asked the Twelve, ‘Do you want to leave too?’ Simon Peter replied, ‘Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. We believe and know that You are the Holy One of God.”’ Bible, John 6:65-68
“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9
“If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself… Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share, storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle chatter and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge—by professing it some have strayed concerning the faith. Grace be with you. Amen.” 1 Timothy 6:3-5,17-21
