This is old knowledge and we should cherish and teach it in school. When I was in school they taught us not to follow instincts blindly, but to question our desires and we should be thinking before acting. I donβt know but I believe this isnβt the case anymore in schools today,

Well, these days they cant really say it like "give up every shred of self control and discipline to follow your desires" They call it "living life to the fullest"

New school lessons: Follow your desires and don't let anyone get in the way of your dreams!

Oh damn. No wonder everything is getting out of control. Well, people have to feel in order to understand.

That's incredible. The amount of patience and skill that went into sculpting that statue is nearly inhuman. That is true art.

Every time I see ancient statuary I am amazed by the amount of work that went into them. The way the carve clothes is impressive. They somehow take hard marble and make it look soft and flowing. Human faces and bodies are carved in such elaborate details that it seems one is looking at a real person.

With no modern tools and no way to correct any mistakes other than to take more material off. It had to be literally perfect the very first time. With all the incredible things modern man can do the ancient world still produced greater wonders than we have.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember in college one of my professors talking about a few of the better sculptors of today attempting to remake some of the classics (even with modern tools) and they couldn't do it.
[β]internet_badass_here10 points11 points12 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Those ancient sculptors probably spent the better part of their lives perfecting their craft. I'm not surprised we still can't reproduce it.

the same way we can't technically understand how they built the pyramid because the context is different and so are the tools
trying to emulate something of the past is always hard
same with the trebuchet btw

some tales of truth are as old as time!
I have a odd relationship with lust. some of my best youthful years were lustful ones. i still think being in chemical mating pair boding "love" can be some of the funnest times you have. it just doesn't last and so many men lose years chasing a dream rather than reality. both the intellectual/spiritual pull and a journey of lust can be great, but as you get older and focus more on the mental evolution over just getting pussy, you see how much energy is there in that instinct that when directed to self improvement can really help you in profound ways.
i'm still a man of pleasure. though 99% gross me out, there are still women i enjoy looking at. men just really need to be self conscious of how much they change when they pursue pussy compared to self improvement. looking back, i had fun times but i also wasted YEARS, literal fucking YEARS with broken hearts, pain, infatuation.
life is short, get your dick wet, but be fucking careful. never spill your seed and focus on other things. i usually tell men if they've had at least one really awesome love story with a hot girl that rocked their world and were able to survive it, intact, no baby, with just some broken heart feelings, enjoy that memory as a great achievement and go on beyond anything to deal with women. that's about the best you'll get, and the more you gamble the more you can lose. which in 99% of husbands cases, is everything.

yeah. but it's also up to each man.
I'm a very down to earth, and compassionate person, but fuck me if i'm going to give WAY more than i get in return. honestly i have found most of my relationships brought me something in return for what i had to give, and when they didn't, it was over. All men have to have a back bone and have some real standards. oh this girl nags sometimes and has expensive taste, oh but she loves to suck dick and is a killer cook. that girl over there, sex is just ok, but she's very low maintenance and is actually fun to hang out with, and doesn't demand too much from me in terms of money and time.
i was always a no nonsense person in simply being honest about having SOME semblance of fucking equality with the girls i dated. no wonder it led me in 36 years to never getting married though. that balance never survives a woman's ego.
while i don't mind some time that was lost dating women and loving them as long as i had some pleasure out of it, the hardest part is the biological. men are the loyal ones and we feel heartbreak much deeper than women, first because we are the romantics and two because we are the hunters so cannot jump from relationship to relationship like women can.
my biggest regrets are the times i knew it was over, consciously i knew it wasn't meant to be and i was glad it was over but my body still ached and felt that purely visceral biological pull of mating or losing a sexual partner. it still amazes me when you end a serious LTR and pull out of that fog of hormones and insanity, how much you realize it all didn't matter and how many days you wasted pining over some dumb bitch.

Same here. Had one amazing short term fling in my early 20s. Wild, lust filled summer of fun. She was travelling and eventually moved back to her home country. Then we decided to move in together and she was not the same person but we enjoyed each others conpany. Then we got married and had kids and she became a joyless, loveless, overly serious person i didn't even recognize. Lesson: women are fun during the "honeymoon" phase of a relationship but I really don't think they realize how miserable, bitchy, and unpleasant they are to be around in a long term relationship. Love is an illusion that men chase. And it's a huge waste of time and energy.

Okay where do I find these memes specifically?? With the presidents and significant historical figures.. they are a gold mine.
Lmao, reminds me of a meme like this but the woman was a hentai babe and it was Luigi instead of that greek intellectual

You are correct, Marcus. But why shouldn't the pleb look at her? I'm sure he'll come to the correct conclusion just by looking at her.

My self esteem increases when I don't give a woman the satisfaction of checking her out. Makes them easier to bang too

You can literally FEEL them looking at you and wondering why you're ignoring them completely. It's creepy.
