I think one of the most important things in this human life is freedom, the ability to do what you want when you want to do it. In 2020 it seems to me that not many people are really free, there is now a variety of things to get yourself trapped in or addicted to at a rate never seen before - these things cause much discontent and unhappiness.

So how does one accomplish freedom?

I guess it first starts with the realization that one was not free to begin with! Governed by the chemicals in your brain to do things that have been done for quite a while (reproduction) you will serve and eventually you will die in this biological circuit. That's okay because that's real freedom, the way of things and pain is as much art as pleasure.

In the human world freedom might start by leaving addictions behind completely, slowly and surely a MGTOW will have an abundance of time to do this. They can procure money to do the things that they want to do (Want to move away from society? Hey you can now do that!).

So then when you are meditating or involved in your craft there will be this sense of accomplishment and it will bring about happiness. The brain will be more sensitive to the chemicals released and you will now feel the way humans are meant to feel, away from the things that cause the feelings of unhappiness.

Feeling sad is a warning that something is threatening your chances of survival and reproduction, with this in mind the "secret" of happiness becomes apparent. Do things that increase life success and make your an ideal mate, regardless of whether you choose to mate. Why does it feel so good to be attractive? Or have a million dollars? Or be physically fit and capable? ;)

All lies within the scheme of things.
