The more time you spend on women, the less you build & accomplish.

For the young man especially, women are an indulgence not a necessity, and if you're not prepared, their chaos will derail & devour you.

Be mindful, guard your time, and proceed with cautious optimism.

Tell son

You will be told women make life better and easier by supporting you.

This is propaganda.

Truth: they will reduce your efficiency with their demands, mind games and erratic emotions.

Time and energy that would otherwise go into productive ends gets spent on managing your woman
If you are a man who has already reached a higher stage of maturity and personal development, this is a cost you can afford to bear.

If you haven't, not only will you let her down and damage her with ineffective leadership, but she too will hold you back from growing.
I don't say these things to encourage contempt of them, I tell you them because they are vitally important and society is in denial about it.

Women are not your equals. They are needy and looking for a father figure. They will take more than they give.

Can you afford this?
In her own conceited language, she's looking for a man, not a boy

And unlike the journey from girlhood to womanhood, the journey from boyhood to manhood is a long one, because no class of human is held to a higher standard of performance than men.

And men aren't made overnight.
So why does she need a man, not a boy?

Because a man is mature, and a boy is not.

A man is wiser than her, a boy is not.

A man's more emotionally stable than her, a boy is not.

She feels safe and protected with a man, but scared and uncertain with a boy.

You are her crutch.
So if you are her crutch, how does she give more than she takes?

Women are egotistical creatures. They do not like to admit just how much they need and depend on men, to the extent they devised an entire ideology stating this is not the case, when it is in fact the whole case.
In affairs of women, you are not looking to profit because it is impossible to do so. By merit of their greater need, they impose more, and in doing so, take more.

Their value lies in the comforts they bring and the children they can bear.

Beyond this, they have nothing for you
Men who do profit from women, harm them greatly.

They are either sociopaths who prey on them, seeing them as resources to be extorted, damaged and discarded, or men looking to enact sexualised mother-son relationships due to unresolved childhood issues.

Both are very unhealthy.
Women are only free to be as feminine as their men enable them to be.

The stronger the men, the more feminine the women.

The reason for this is simple - basic survival requires masculine traits. Feminine women rely on men for this, whilst the single woman must embody it herself
The warmth and grace of femininity is thus one of the greatest and most rewarding womanly comforts a man may indulge.

It is the ultimate affirmation to him that his efforts have paid off and are being duly appreciated, as she is safe enough and free enough to be a girl again.
A man spends the majority of his life attempting to escape his boyhood by transcending it, so that he may become strong and wise enough to become the archetypal father

Whilst a woman moves in the opposite direction, looking to reconnect with the purity, joy & warmth of her youth
Women lose touch with who they are in their bid to survive, and spend the rest of their lives trying to return home

Or as they say "to find themselves" once more.

They cannot reach that destination without a strong man, alone.

Men do not find themselves, they build themselves.
Where there's arrested mediocrity in man's boyishness, there's deep beauty in woman's girlishness

It is for this reason calling a man a boy is oft taken as an insult, whilst calling a woman a girl's oft seen as a compliment.

You see, deep down, we implicitly know these things.
Men are forged, women are preserved

The most desirable woman is not one who has failed to preserve her femininity, but the most desirable men are the ones who have acquired patriarchal masculinity

This is why women value experienced men, but men do not value experience in women
Experience is conducive to masculinity but not conducive to femininity in much the way preservation is conducive to femininity, but not to masculinity

Men grow stronger, women get damaged.

Men break better than women.

For men are more disposable, but women are more perishable.
A warm, robust woman is a well preserved woman with lifelong exposure to wisdom, & limited, tolerable exposure to small doses of poison in a staggered fashion which enthuse rather than rot the spirit

A strong noble man entered the abyss, & returned from hell with his soul intact
Time to give my mind a rest, as this thread was done off the cuff, and went on for much longer than I had originally intended.

Christine spoke about honoring your pastors even when they weren’t great, she spoke of us expecting too much of pastors and how wrong that was. She said God would use our testimony if we submitted to our pastors.

She said “honor your pastors, God will honor you.” She said more about having disagreed with her pastors but she submitted and God honored her and now she’s blessed. How if they are faithfully serving God, we need to support them and not forfeit what God has for us.

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.


The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.

This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.

The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."

This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
🌺कैसे बने गरुड़ भगवान विष्णु के वाहन और क्यों दो भागों में फटी होती है नागों की जिह्वा🌺

महर्षि कश्यप की तेरह पत्नियां थीं।लेकिन विनता व कद्रु नामक अपनी दो पत्नियों से उन्हे विशेष लगाव था।एक दिन महर्षि आनन्दभाव में बैठे थे कि तभी वे दोनों उनके समीप आकर उनके पैर दबाने लगी।


प्रसन्न होकर महर्षि कश्यप बोले,"मुझे तुम दोनों से विशेष लगाव है, इसलिए यदि तुम्हारी कोई विशेष इच्छा हो तो मुझे बताओ। मैं उसे अवश्य पूरा करूंगा ।"

कद्रू बोली,"स्वामी! मेरी इच्छा है कि मैं हज़ार पुत्रों की मां बनूंगी।"
विनता बोली,"स्वामी! मुझे केवल एक पुत्र की मां बनना है जो इतना बलवान हो की कद्रू के हज़ार पुत्रों पर भारी पड़े।"
महर्षि बोले,"शीघ्र ही मैं यज्ञ करूंगा और यज्ञ के उपरांत तुम दोनो की इच्छाएं अवश्य पूर्ण होंगी"।


महर्षि ने यज्ञ किया,विनता व कद्रू को आशीर्वाद देकर तपस्या करने चले गए। कुछ काल पश्चात कद्रू ने हज़ार अंडों से काले सर्पों को जन्म दिया व विनता ने एक अंडे से तेजस्वी बालक को जन्म दिया जिसका नाम गरूड़ रखा।जैसे जैसे समय बीता गरुड़ बलवान होता गया और कद्रू के पुत्रों पर भारी पड़ने लगा


परिणामस्वरूप दिन प्रतिदिन कद्रू व विनता के सम्बंधों में कटुता बढ़ती गयी।एकदिन जब दोनो भ्रमण कर रहीं थी तब कद्रू ने दूर खड़े सफेद घोड़े को देख कर कहा,"बता सकती हो विनता!दूर खड़ा वो घोड़ा किस रंग का है?"
विनता बोली,"सफेद रंग का"।
तो कद्रू बोली,"शर्त लगाती हो? इसकी पूँछ तो काली है"।
MDZS is laden with buddhist references. As a South Asian person, and history buff, it is so interesting to see how Buddhism, which originated from India, migrated, flourished & changed in the context of China. Here's some research (🙏🏼 @starkjeon for CN insight + citations)

1. LWJ’s sword Bichen ‘is likely an abbreviation for the term 躲避红尘 (duǒ bì hóng chén), which can be translated as such: 躲避: shunning or hiding away from 红尘 (worldly affairs; which is a buddhist teaching.) (
https://t.co/zF65W3roJe) (abbrev. TWX)

2. Sandu (三 毒), Jiang Cheng’s sword, refers to the three poisons (triviṣa) in Buddhism; desire (kāma-taṇhā), delusion (bhava-taṇhā) and hatred (vibhava-taṇhā).

These 3 poisons represent the roots of craving (tanha) and are the cause of Dukkha (suffering, pain) and thus result in rebirth.

Interesting that MXTX used this name for one of the characters who suffers, arguably, the worst of these three emotions.

3. The Qian kun purse “乾坤袋 (qián kūn dài) – can be called “Heaven and Earth” Pouch. In Buddhism, Maitreya (मैत्रेय) owns this to store items. It was believed that there was a mythical space inside the bag that could absorb the world.” (TWX)
