Репост из: Primordial Path
In two days my wife lost two childhood friends of the family. One of them became my buddy because we worked together.
He was an absolute riot. One of the funniest, wackiest dudes you’d ever meet. Had a bad temper and could be dramatic. But gifted creative mind and loyal friend.
He was mid 40s and left behind a teenage daughter. His older brothers both passed early and so did his mother. Only living family is daughter and younger brother.
Idk if there’s statistics on this but from my pov this is feeling like an epidemic of guys dropping dead in their 40s.
I’m sad to hear about my friends who pass. I love these people. But I’ve become a little callous to it.
I feel frustrated with them. 40s is still a young man. Maybe there’s too much youth worship in our culture that makes guys feel like life is over.
But, I just want to tell the young guys out there this.
Get your party lifestyle out of your system. Figure a way out of that grueling manual labor job you have. Stop cycling slampigs on dating apps and settle with a wife.
All of these things will kill you if you continue them into your 40s.
And it’s not just your life to do whatever you want with. Funerals are very expensive. You will be missed.
Mothers never recover after burying their sons. Your death will be a burden on both hearts and wallets.
You’re not special. You’re not different. Father Time has never been beaten. Your body will break down and it won’t be able to handle being abused.
Be a retard in your 20s. Then become a man before you reach 30.
