To all those men who feel jilted by fate (height,race,wealth,looks,etc): Be grateful, at least you didn't have your genitals blown off by an improvised explosive device. (self.TheRedPill)

A fast food McDonalds worker in the US is richer than a doctor in Ukraine. Just living in the US puts people in the top 10% of wealth worldwide. Whenever somebody sees people who have nice shiny things and more money then they get jealous and crave more and more. I'm considering just saving up a good amount of money here in the US and then just moving back to the Ukraine where most of my family is. $100,000 US money is worth $2,796,750 in Ukraine money. 2.7 million is more than enough to retire and never have to work again your whole life allowing you to do what you really want to do in life and it doesn't take long to save up $100,000 in the US. Money is necessary to pay for things required to live and survive but the majority of things beyond that is just stupid. When you die, your not taking all those 12 cars and 5 houses with you dumbasses. Our life on this earth is a mere speck of 75 years compared to eternal life forever. Everybody is so dam caught up in the rat race and trying get rich and famous that they don't critically think about what our life is on this earth and what the purpose of it is.

This is a good example of the Stoic technique of negative visualization.

Quote from the article:

The technique is to spend some time each day imagining that you have lost the things you value most. Vividly imagine, for example, that your job has just been terminated, that your house – with all your possessions – has burned to the ground, that your partner has left you, or that you have lost your sight, your hearing, or the use of your limbs.

This sounds horribly bleak, I know. But the Stoics were onto something here. They understood that everything we enjoy in life is simply “on loan” to us from Fortune. Any of it – all of it – can be recalled without a moment’s notice.

Epictetus reminds us, for example, that our children have been given to us “for the present, not inseparably nor forever.” His advice: In the very act of kissing your child, silently reflect on the possibility that she could die tomorrow.

I once had an illness where every breath I took caused pain. As I recovered, time passed agonizingly slowly as you can imagine. Sometimes I think back to that time and I take a deep and painless breath to remind myself how fortunate I am.

The male fear of losing his genitals is one of the biggest ways evolutionary psychology shows itself.

Yes im fortunate to still have my balls and the girl is fortunate enough to reject me knowing there are more attractive men out there.

Good post. Whenever I feel down, I think "at least I'm not a cripple" and it immediately makes life feel so much better. This is even worse, but to be honest you don't seem to have much use or your dick as a cripple anyways. I have worked with cripples for years and have family and friends that have worked with them as well. The male cripples are generally depressed and sexually frustrated incels. Their SMV is low and since they are not fit for work they can't compensate with money either.

I can't think of a worse fate than living as a cripple. Death seems appealing by comparison. The only way I would see that existense as tolerable would be if I had enough money to live in a constant high on powerful drugs until I die of an OD.
