I just experienced one of those epiphanies that seems to quiet your surroundings and bring you back down to earth. Thought I’d share it with the community.

I’m positive that I’m not alone in having the recurring realization that we’re born to die. Our lives are naturally very quick as we function in fast paced societies and only live so long. Relative to the universe, our entire existence equates to nothing more than a cosmic blink. We are an extremely fragile species, being vulnerable to any imaginable element, especially circumstances created by other people. It doesn’t take much effort to just delete us from existence, and if the variables lined up, you could be gone just as quickly as you came in.

As it hit me, I began to connect these thoughts with MGTOW. The principles that I’ve learned and the stories I’ve read here have shaped my mind in such a way that I strive exclusively to protect and improve the well-being of my loved ones, and move through life with my most paramount objective being self-preservation at all costs. Our paths and aspirations vary in many ways, but these are values that we all fundamentally share as men who forge their own paths to success. At its very core, this is what MGTOW represents.

This leads me to an idea that further reinforces the integrity and practicality of how we live. The bottom line is that life is too unpredictable and short to allow society to control and influence us in ways that are counterintuitive to our missions. If our lives can be so easily taken from us and we only spend so much time living, why the hell would you willingly let controllable things increase the chances of your misery, or death?

The beauty of being keen to reality is the awareness of having choices. The realization that we have more control than we’ve been conditioned to believe is powerful, and liberating in a way I can’t describe with words. I’m shining on the inside, just writing that. Instead of sliding through life feeling urged to follow the masses off the cliff, we’ve stepped back and observed how far we’d fall, and how much it would hurt.

We have the answers to the test, and it’s up to us to honor this awareness by acting accordingly. Consider yourselves lucky to be intelligent enough to build towards this lifestyle naturally, or to have come across it after having experienced unfortunate events.

It’s very, very important that we stay true to ourselves and live for our loved ones, and ourselves. Don’t be a part of any tragic statistic and maintain control of the things you can. Be proud of how far you’ve come, and relish in the fact that you have weapons of knowledge and logic to rely on in any situation.

Never in my life have I felt so deeply connected to so many different people that I haven’t even met. It’s just surreal how things have come to be, and even after I’m gone, my goddamn tombstone will glow with my spirit’s contentment and happiness because I’ve found my purpose.

Live, my brothers.
