Now,men and women are wired to appreciate things differently.Being a guy I will write based on my experience.
1.Money
It’s a game changer,money buys men comfort and purpose to work harder and smarter.
2.Freedom.
You taste it and you can never accept to be bound again.Combine it with money and it becomes a lifestyle.
3. Cars,Machines,wildlife,technology or a hobby.
4. Generational continuation.(Reproduction)
5. Lifestyle and women.
I have tasted life on the other side of scarcity and abundance and this is what it all trickles down to.
At least for me.
This view lacks emotional depth. Where is love, friendship, justice, grief, or growth? Men are not just robots wired for status, sex, and survival. That view is a cage, not a truth. You have truyl lived a meaningless life. You are in the depths of hell, and you do not even know it
I had thought of leaving my comments there but I’m reminded that lighting another candle won’t make mine go off.
Emotional regulation is very different from emotional suppression.
You’re probably a victim of extreme feminine indoctrination where you’re convinced it’s ok for a man to express himself emotionally.
Love-An emotion like pain,anger etc.It’s very temporary and don’t be mistaken to think your usefulness is love based.
Friendship-One side benefits more than the other party at all times,few chances of equal mutual benefit.
Grief-Not anything to hold you back,it’s something you learn to live with until it fades off.
Whatever you have described as friendship is not friendship. in kikuyu, a proverb that describes friendship is “Iri murungu igiritagia iri kahia” The bull with no horns rely on one with horns. That is what friendship is. If your friends take one sided benefits from you. You do not know friends. You need to make an effort to have friends.
another proverb in kikuyu “ndugu ni makinya” means you have to take steps to kindle friendships
There may not be a universal manual to life, but your claim is dismissive of all the structured a wisdom humanity has accumulated over the centuries. Literally read a book bro
What elders are saying is that all this is good, but it’s incomplete. There is much much more to a great life, and the search for it is the journey of life itself. You will always be seeking something; you’ll never say, I have arrived, till you die–and maybe that’s not even a bad thing at all, for it’s constant curiosity which makes life exciting. The key is to seek out things, people and experiences which are uplifting.
Perhaps at the point of death is when you will have found it.
Money gets you everything else. It ensures you’re well-positioned to make quality friendships, have better partners, and anything else worth having. If you think otherwise, then I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.
Kabisa boss,nimepashwa hapo juu eti sijui emotional depth,sijui oh .
Money is a game changer in everything.
With money the only thing you can’t buy is,a dead person back to life.
