On Death

I read in Plato’s republic that philosophers are the most prepared to die than any others. Why? I don’t remember, but we did wake up from our premgtow dream. So it would make sense that we start thinking more intelligently.

I'm fine with knowing I'm going to die because we all have expiration dates. However the way I depart is what I continually think about.

I like Osho's opinion on the matter: live your life to the fullest that you're capable of such that the only thing that's left (unknown to you) is death. You'll come to the stage where you'll want to dive into death with expectation, not with trepidation. Personally, I don't fear death. I do fear losing close family members. The thought causes my gut to tighten up. The thought of my own death comes with no emotion. Just a calm expectation of something that is bound to happen eventually.

The concept of death has always been very clear to me even before MGTOW and feminism bullshit. To me, death is opening to another world which is eternal. This is a belief thing rooting from faith in religion. The beauty of MGTOW is that it is generic in its principles; we cannot be like each other but yet we can be MGTOW. Death is not avoidable and best is to live the life of yours choice.

A comment I made a few days ago:

A few weeks ago I was camping on a remote alpine lake in Idaho. I ate some mushrooms. I sat on a large rock overlooking the lake to watch the sunset. A fish jumped nearby and then I realized that it appeared as though it was raining, as thousands of little insects dropped to the water for a drink. Then another fish jumped.

The world seemed so simple to me in that moment. The insects had to risk their life to a fish in order to drink, but they're insects and don't think about it. They're just being insects, and the fish are being fish. I dropped worms on hooks into that lake and caught many fish which I ate. The fish were not concerned about a hook, they were just doing what fish do.

It's all a big circle of life and death. An insect death is a fish life and a fish death is a full belly and so forth. I'm alive today and I can die at any moment and it's all so insignificant and beautiful.

How many beautiful moments have I missed because I was thinking about things far in the past or imagining the future? Work work work, buy buy buy, fuck fuck fuck, impress impress impress. Then I'm dead. Would it not be better to swim in the ocean and be killed by a shark than to grow old and die on a ventilator in some sterile hospital?

My friend died in a drunk driving accident(passenger). It was surreal. We would have long conversations about how afraid of death he was. My first thought was how he would've been so disappointed but in reality he was just gone. Ceased to exist. My second thought is how he will now miss out on so many things like Conclusion of Game of Thrones, Westworld, ect. Also tons of life experience. Makes me feel like is truly just an experience and you need to live in a way that its enjoyable. If you are miserable then you are worse off then dead. Do not ever live a miserable life to make someone else's life better.

I stayed in a 20 year marriage that I was miserable in. She constantly complained, was never happy with me as a privider, partner, father etc.. It was like a slow, painful death of my spirit., I am almst 50 and am moving out in 2 weeks. I was afraid to leave the marriage because i was afraid to be alone, afraid to grow old alone, afraid to die alone. I finally one day realized that I already was alone - married but alone. If I had remained married, and I was on my deathbed, drawing my last breath- she would't have been there anyway. She'd be "busy" running errands or cleaning the house. I'd be saying my last goidbyes to the nursing staff. I am still pretty nervous about the future but at least I am not living in a fantasy land that I am "sharing" my life with someone. I am alone now, and have been alone for a long time, and I am okay with the fact i will die alone, on my own terms.

Well I am in the same phase (how do I know it's a phase and not an end point? Because perceptions change all the time and one can never be too sure of oneself).

Some searching around led me to philosophers who tell me it's all okay to contemplate death because it sets right our priorities right. Like, what would you grab from a burning house before running out?

I have had good memories and bad memories and i think there's nothing much to expect from this life- maybe all of it in another form and cycles. Death is the escape from this cycle but it's a kinda permanent and irreversible so let me hold on and watch the spectacle. It's boring but then do I have a choice?

Becoming red pilled on women opened many doors in my head. Death and life are all part of something bigger to me now, and I'm not talking about some dogmatic religious nonsense, but universal nature. Accepting who you are and our place in existence.

Try looking at the other option, though practically impossible, of being immortal. There's the good side of being able to enjoy good/great things but there's also the downsides: Your mistakes will haunt you forever, you'll have to deal with the filth in society on a daily basis and the possibility of running out of things to explore leading to extreme boredom, to list a few. This train of thought gives, atleast me, some relief along the lines of "All of this is gonna end someday. Just make the most of it while you can".

I hope to embrace death on ease. Looking back at life as some sort of stage or movie I "played" in. Looking back at all the bad and the good, laughing at it all. Having as few as possible remorseful things to look back at. Hoping to point to at least one thing, that I could say to: That defined "me".

I find it difficult to have any opinions about death because once you're gone it doesn't matter anymore. All your success, gone. All your crimes, gone. None of it affects you. A lot of people fantasize about leaving a legacy and being remembered but why would you care? You're dead. You can't care. It's very strange

When i was depressed, jobless, body full of illness, friends leaving me. I think of death may be the best solution. After i picked myself up. From red pill to mgtow, death is not an option ever since. I think i will just GYOW till i die on the highway
