    All men should work toward building not only physical power, but also spiritual and intellectual power. Strengthen your body with exercise, learn valuable trades and skills, educate yourself about the great cultures of the world, learn your history, read great literature, understand the symbolism and meaning of religion and mythology, fill your head with many different types of knowledge, learn a musical instrument, become a good conversationalist, reject drugs and material vices, etc. Build yourself into the type of man who can weather the storm. If there were enough men like that in the world, society would change overnight without a bullet fired. Or something idealistic like that…

      If breaking your back day in day out in the trades and burning out in your 30s is “fulfilling”, then I don’t know what to fucking tell you lol

      Aging yourself beyond repair. Sure manual labor is good for you like 1-2 times a week. But 8 hours a day in the sun breaking your back 5 days a week will age you 10 years in less than 3 years

      These tradies are alcoholics and all skinny fat. I have respect for them but their lifestyle is cuked

      Went to work with some roofer type/fence putter up tradies once and I seen how they live

        My sister’s husband is a brick layer. Dude is mid-30’sandvody is already wrecked. That’s a tough job in optimal weather but here in western Canada where it’s winter 5 months out of the year, absolutely brutal.
