Face your fears if you do want something steady, know exactly why you want it and what you are willing to sacrifice for it and also what you cannot accept, and just be disciplined in enforcing that on yourself and your partner. An inch conceded quickly becomes a mile.
or you can just move to SE Asia and not have to deal with any of this shit

Strength (or winning for the faint of heart), plain and simple. And it can manifest in many ways: power, money, fame, confidence, looks.... You have to satiate her hypergamic appetite.

It's not the case for everyone, but in my experience my family sticks together. Wives and girlfriends may leave, family is something else.
What is true is this Donnie Darko quote: every single living creature dies alone. It sounds negative, but it's not. It's just that there are things you have to face alone and no one can help you with.

That's why i said one way or the other, when i was a kid my biggest fear was losing a parent. Then i read this japanese ritual of old, where you would think of your worst fear and immerse yourself in it with every detail, slowly building the thick skin to face it. I say you are always lost and alone, but for your convictions.

Im not very religious, but I find ashes to ashes, dust to dust such a strong quote when discussing death. It’s both accurate and almost comforting, every living being will return back to its old state after a experience on this planet.

I am pretty religious and always found it weird when pastors say that the dead christian is now in heaven, although the scripture clearly states that there'll be a judgement day before we go to heaven of hell. So if the dead christian is not some sort of exception, he's in a limbo or purgatory or some type of waiting room, but probably not in heaven.
Purgatory is the "holding cell" where you await judgment. Although, it's been 20 years since I did any serious Religious Studies; so maybe we are already dead.

Yes, and that’s a big contradiction. I would struggle with that if I went to church. Ashes to dust fits science. We’re made of out the atoms born during Supernova and the Big Bang, called stardust. And when we die, the atoms in our body don’t disintegrate, they continue to live and will form molecules when they react with a different environment. So they’re basically back to dust. I find it crazy that we can find that in such a old book, although it remains religion so things are open for interpretation I guess, but this is my view on the quote.
