        I don’t think its a bad thing to be humbled by the knowledge that each of us is just an insignificant collection of recycled atoms that coalesce and starts thinking for a fraction of a moment before those atoms separate again and our consciousness returns to nothingness with the universe completely ignorant of us ever existing.

            Instead of thinking of the entirety of men, think of the worst of us. Those are the ones that still don’t have this knowledge even though it is known to humanity for millennia. Those are the ones I’m referring to.

      What this lady is really saying is that most men are pussies because they don’t let their wild side out every once in a while.

      I really really don’t think that is what she’s saying.

      I think she’s saying: “Grasp, for a moment, the concept that most of the things you hold dear and strive for are mere societal constructs that not only don’t define your potential, but in fact can limit what you can achieve. Further, the achievements could be for intangibles instead of money, power, or fame. Realize how small you are to the universe, how insignificant. Be humbled by it. Be humbled by the concept of life, and that you have the gift of it, but not for long. Don’t waste your few dozen years of existence on trifle things.”

      I’m saying that isn’t a welcome message for many men that define themselves as the higher of a relationship of subjugation. Whether that subjugation is based on perceived superiority to another gender, race, or religion. To this small percentage of men, inferiority, in any form is considered a weakness, and only bold acts of depravity would wipe away that stain in their twisted minds.

      Yea, because that’s how we get arrested.
