(TL;DR to spare you reading my shitty blogs: monk mode)
Why do most of us suffer? Wanting foids. Mostly wanting pussy, but not just that. Affection, companionship. Even just looking at a pretty face that smiles back at you and chats with you lovingly.
Not having that makes us miserable. Being NEETs with a lot of free time should be comfy, and yet most are miserable. That's how powerful this need is, essential to our happiness.
So what solution is there? I refuse to give up my comfy lifestyle all for that. It's simply not a trade I am willing to make, it's too much to sacrifice. Way out of my comfort zone. So how do we ... move beyond the foid?
I believe there is an answer my friends. There is one indeed. And that is meditation, in order to achieve inner peace.
And I don't mean that in some magick hocus pocus shit, this ain't Harry Potter. I mean that in a very real sense of meditating and being at peace with yourself and the world.
Which I think is very possible. A bit like buddhist monks, you don't see those guys being miserable that they can't get pussy or that they don't have money or careers.
You might think the example is outlandish, that those guys are way different from us, we can't compare ourselves to them. Might as well compare yourself to ... Brad Pitt, we live in different worlds. But I think we can actually become like those monks, at least partially. We can become much more content with our life.
And even though most of those monks are religious and believe in a lot of religious crap that motivates them and pushes them to those extremes - I believe it's possible to do that even with an atheistic mindset. Sort of rejecting materialism and the carnal pleasures which we can't attain, and pursuing meaning in other ways. Nietzsche and (separately) logotherapy would be two keywords for further reading, I think they can help with that.
