Intro
For Future readers this was a post made during COVID-19 but is applicable to any time of adversity
If you are in densely populated city people are dying all around you. Elderly, Obese, Young people with compromised systems. The news is only feeding you negative information. Infections Rising, Death Tolls rising, no sign of hope yet. You sit quarantined in your apartment as the COVID-19/Wuhan Virus closes in all around you. The neighbor next door is a healthcare worker who is being exposed everyday. The guy down the hall doesn't give a fuck and thinks he is invincible and puts everyone else at risk. The lady next door is coughing up a storm and has a fever. Its only a matter of time before you might get it. What are you going to do about it?
Emotional Control
We are living in a time of Chaos. People are scared. People are being emotional and losing sense of rational thinking. YOU The Red Pilled Man need to control your emotions and hold Frame above all else. People are looking for a Rock. A symbol of Strength. Someone to follow and listen to. You can be that person but you need to have control over your emotions. If you are freaking out like everyone else you are just as useless. You need to accept the fact that you will potentially catch this plague or have already had it and passed it. You need to accept the fact that you might die. The only way to get stronger when you are scared is to face your fears not withdraw from them.
"Death Smiles at all of us. All a man can do is smile back" - Marcus Aurelius
The only thing you can control is YOUR Actions
With all the external influences out there you need to come to the realization that you can only control your actions and what you do. Being scared of something you cant see will make you paralyzed with fear if you overthink it. Face it. The only thing you can do is protect your self with PPE gear and limit your exposure. That’s the only things YOU can control in this current situation. If you make a decision to get groceries and or help someone else get groceries enter that action with boldness. Accept that you are making a risky decision and do it or not do it. The choice is yours not someone else's.
Lead and Be Useful
TRP teaches you how to be a leader. Now's the time to put that to use. Be the rock that people can hold on to. Everyone is going to need groceries eventually. Be the guy who takes the lead and plans out how to do this for your family, friends, and or your community. Be strategic. Be bold. Tell people what to do. Learn as much about COVID-19 as you can to make better decisions. Analyze your environment. When are people most likely to go out? When are people less likely to be out? When are stores getting their delivery's? What's the potential of threats in your area? Can you defend against an attack?
A leader needs to think about a lot and needs to do his homework to make good and effective decisions. The more effective you can be the more power and a following you will accrue. People need someone to look up to right now. Help people in distress if you can. Don’t be the guy complaining about "I cant go to the gym bro" - Like WTF have you been training for and getting strong for all these years? To bitch about not going when you need to be strong? Your focuses and priorities should be else where. Warriors train for war but during war they fight. That was the point of the training.
Closing Thoughts
Your Frame and Emotional Control need to be airtight right now. Being calm, collected, and centered are paramount right now. The best of warriors did exactly this during times of adversity.
Its easy to lose sight of yourself being isolated for too long. If you are alone it maybe worse. Clear your thoughts as much as possible. Stay away from thinking too much in the past or in the future. If you cant find ways to be useful to your family, friends, and or community that are in distress then take this time to work on yourself. Read as many books as possible. Study things you did not have time for before. Pick up a hobby. Learn to code. Time is valuable and right now we have a shitload of it. Get comfortable being uncomfortable.
4/13/2020 3:04 PM: Just an observation from a guy living in NYC during COVID-19. For the most part from my POV NYC is eerily quiet. A city that is usually full of life and noise is somberly quiet. While most people are just sitting at home jerking off, healthcare workers are trying to ventilate tons of people in ICUs. Mass graves are being dug up. I can only imagine the chaos of being in a ICU right now. Essential workers get up every morning wondering if they should even do this shit job of delivering food or packages to ungrateful people. People are losing their small business's because they cant function or work. Some stupid bitch is trying to film her self getting fucked on OnlyFans(OnlySimps). Quite interesting when you juxtapose all those things.
