		<description>Here&#039;s a thought:

&quot;One LIVES in the MATERIAL WORLD. One ENJOYS the MATERIAL WORLD, but ONE&#039;S HAPPINESS DOES NOT DEPEND ON the MATERIAL WORLD.&quot;

-Anthony de Mello (Jesuit Priest, Psychotherapist, Mystic, and One Very Enlightened Dude!)

Meditate on that!

or watch this:

Look there&#039;s a lot good point in your post that i completely identify except your atheistic-nihilistic point of view. You&#039;re free not to believe that there&#039;s no god, but don&#039;t trap yourself in this STUPID MATERIALIST PARADIGM. It&#039;s bullshit! Your looking in the world in a &quot;glass darkly&quot;. Wipe the dirt of those stupid glasses, duh! You&#039;re smarter than that!

Plus, you&#039;re also mired in &quot;the seduction community&quot; bullshit which they use evolutionary psychology as an rationalization and as EXCUSED on how they see life, women, dating, sex on their own twisted cosmology of their own lives. They think they see the matrix, idiots! That&#039;s just  another level of illusion that your mind (aka BULLSHIT GENERATOR) has created.

Plus you&#039;re a hedonist like me man!

Our own stupid (subconscious) hedonist belief if you put it in a equation is

Hedonism:

Effort = Pain 
Pleasure = Happiness

&quot;Effort = Pain&quot; that is bullshit! You need effort to gain or achieve something worthwhile in your life right?

&quot;Pleasure = Happiness&quot; that false idea is one core reasons of anxiety, hell even Addiction man! PLEASURE IS NOT HAPPINESS!
&quot;Pleasure = Pleasure&quot; that is all!

Dude just reflect on the quote that in what i&#039;ve written about, you&#039;ll figure it out!

Peace!</description>

		<description>OMG, my IP isn&#039;t blocked any more and you&#039;re not moderating comments. I guess you can&#039;t rub together enough pesos to buy the time at the el local internets cafe to moderate.

Well, we miss you, but, whenever I sniff the stench of a homeless meth addict at 7-11, I feel that you are still with us!

Do take care of yourself. And remember... you didn&#039;t leave your job because you&#039;d had enough of &quot;the man&quot; but because a certain gossip blogger let your boss know you&#039;re a misogynistic pig.

Safe travels!</description>

		<description>Good lord, man.  A few months scrounging around for exotic pussy and bumming it with smelly, pot smoking college kids in South America and you think you&#039;ve got the meaning of life figured out?  Really?  Do you realize how many other self-absorbed, overly-entitled white kids have bravely blazed this trail before you?

You&#039;re a hypocrite, dude.  It&#039;s offensive.  Please, stick to bragging about your game and leave the armchair philosophy at the hostel door.</description>

		<description>yikes, lotta venom in the comments.  must mean you&#039;re on to something. apparently some folks aren&#039;t used to your &quot;tough love&quot; style...or you just hit on some of those latent regrets/doubts and triggered some defense mechanisms.  either way, well done. 

painting if you want paint &amp; writing if you want to write = hedonism?  mm, let&#039;s define some terms...</description>

		<description>Good food for thought, You definitely hit a nerve for some.....especially anonymous (there is only one so don&#039;t get it twisted) who unmistakenly commented about 15 times, I mean how much hate can you have to comment 15 times on how much you disagree.......definitely hit a nerve there...

I think the post came off a little negative to some because you are not sharing the fun stuff that you share with close friends (the last one was great).....either way keep doing what you are doing.....youll have plenty of time to do some of the mundane shit when you get here.

		<description>Roosh, I suggest picking up this book, &quot;The Magic of Thinking Big.&quot;  I have been reading it and it is quite good.  Your intellect will be wasted following the philosophies of Tyler Durden and the hypnotized guy, Peter Gibbons, from Office Space.  Whether you want to admit it or not, we need your smarts in our society to help cure us physically.  Espouse your thoughts on our inner selves through your bestsellers!</description>

		<description>I look forward to seeing Roosh on a corner in Adams Morgan with a full beard and 53 years old peddling &quot;Bang&quot; for my leftover fries.  By the way Roosh, Brazil is known for its legal prostitution.  Talked with a friend of mine who has been there many times and the pros are very open about approaching you.  Guess you can recall your previous experience on the beach and apply.</description>

		<description>And on another note, there&#039;s a reason we need those illegal immigrants...because Americans who used to take hard working, productive jobs now &quot;paint if they want to paint, and write if they want to write&quot; instead of building ships or fishing or farming. Hedonism at its finest.</description>

		<description>If you&#039;ve ever considered a career in motivational speaking then I suggest you abandon that idea entirely.  

Others have observed correctly the undercurrent of bitterness and anger that takes away from the wisdom of what you have to say, which by the way is nothing new.  If you&#039;ve ever sat through a PBS fundraiser and watched Wayne Dyer you would know that you&#039;ve been preceded and bested.  

I agree with Tampa, success and wealth earned is enormously satisfying and those that say otherwise haven&#039;t earned it or don&#039;t have it.</description>

		<description>I think you people all make yourselves unhappy. Why is everyone so damn angst-ridden? Spend enough time thinking about why you&#039;re not happy, and what you should be doing if you weren&#039;t being held down by &quot;the man&quot;, and it&#039;s guaranteed you never will be. 

So what, you have to have a job, and work and pay taxes. Hell, none of you are starving, are you. Your families don&#039;t have to worry about where they will sleep tonight, or if they&#039;ll be kidnapped, raped, murdered by some fanatic religious or ethnic group. There are millions of people crossing our border, illegally, dangerously, just for a bite at this awful life we live here. I&#039;m sure given the shot, Argentine juggler would be here too, typing away in some sad cubicle. Get some damn perspective. I can&#039;t believe how pathetic Americans are.</description>

		<description>While the tone at times is harsh, condescending and angry towards cubicle workers, I think there are some great bits of advice in this little rant.  Especially this:

&quot;If you want to be unhappy, all you have to do is try to impress other people. If you want to be happy, don’t do things which you are told makes you happy.

If you’re spending more than your income, you will work until you die. How many years of college and work have you put in so far? If you quit right now, how many years would you last without having to work? Do you see what the problem is? But you’re rich all right because you can go out to the new restaurant serving fusion dog shit and down $15 cocktails at the club with people carrying business cards.&quot;

Unfortunately, the tone will probably cause people to disregard the whole post, even the good parts.

		<description>ideagasms?
i don&#039;t need a website to show me that i love people, and therefore can be happy. it&#039;s not a cliche, it actually works when you care about others unselfishly and unconditionally. 

i also don&#039;t need a trip to south america.

but don&#039;t take my word for it, one day you will see it, too.
i hope :)

		<description>Roosh is on to something. But there&#039;s a very angry undercurrent.  I&#039;ve been following his posts throughout South America.  I haven&#039;t seen much joy or happiness or exuberance in any of these posts.  Something is troubling him and he can&#039;t shake it.  Maybe part of the reason is he has chosen to stay in total shitholes, which probably was a mistake.  But on the other hand, he&#039;s living a pretty cool adventure that he has planned for years.  I expected more positive stuff.

Roosh *is* onto something here though.  Take away the incendiary language, and at its core this post is about listening to your inner voice and living your own life instead of someone else&#039;s.  Too often, many of us just go with the flow and do things that are &quot;expected&quot; of us and what society values (that&#039;s how most of my lawyer friends became lawyers, and they f-ing hate it but don&#039;t have the balls to break out).  

Be honest with yourself about what you want in life.  Want to paint?  Paint.  Want to write travel books?  Do it.  Whatever you do, don&#039;t sleepwalk through life doing something you hate, thinking &quot;oh, but I can retire at 55.&quot;  Jesus Christ, you only get one shot at this life thing, so don&#039;t waste it.  I went through something similar to Roosh a few years ago, and now I live in Vietnam.  I love it here.  Live your dream.

But don&#039;t take my word for it.  Read the text of this speech by Steve Jobs on finding your purpose and happiness in life.  It contains more wisdom per word than anything I&#039;ve ever read.

		<description>roosh when you get back to the states, call me and we&#039;ll do acid together. 


if you love everyone, they will love you too. i love you and i love a lot of people i&#039;ve met

but not everyone has been receptive of my love
not everyone has been ready for it

that&#039;s okay, there&#039;s a time and  a place.
let it be
let it be
let it be


and love
