Nothing to say, yet

Men need to have a sense of purpose and responsibility in order to avoid getting stuck in a state of immaturity. If there is no benefit to taking on responsibilities, men will reject them. This leads to a meaningless and unsatisfying life. Men need direction and a reason to strive for something greater. Men have to figuring out what he had to do, and if they have nothing worth living for, they stay Peter Pan forever in Neverland. Why the hell not? Because the alternative to value responsibility is impulsive and low-class pleasure. And you saw that in Pinocchio's story, right? That's Pleasure Island. All right, well, why lift the load if there's nothing in it for you? That's another thing we're doing to men. That's a bad idea. And to boys, it's like, you're pathological and oppressive. It's like, fine, why the hell am I going to play? If that's the situation, if I get no credit for bearing responsibility, it's going to bloody well be sure I'm not going to bear any. But then, you know, your life is going to be useless and meaningless, full of self-contempt and annihilationism, and that's not good. And so, that's why I think, that's what I think is going on at a deeper level with regards to men needing this direction. A man has to decide he had to do something for his life, anything in his ability to break free of his facet of reality. Speech delivered by Mr. Jordan Peterson.
