Hi men, here’s a short story with a real message.
.
A time ago, there was a very ambitious man in a village. He wanted to do great things in life, due to which the villagers also used to like him very much. They praise him for his strength and talent. Everyone used to think that he will improve the condition of this village.
The man also had this belief that he can do anything he wants.
Confidence was always visible in his eyes. And this confidence was not just like this, his hard work was behind his confidence. Because he spent many hours a day learning sword fighting.
Due to training, his body became so strong. While coming home after fencing, many girls on the way used to smile at him, and he also used to smile back. He also likes a girl among them. But still, he didn’t focus much on them. And after coming home, he spends more time sharpening his sword.
He used to practice with it and then used to do training. Even at night, he used to do something that he could carry himself forward.
One night in the dark he was sharpening his sword by lighting a lantern. Then suddenly he hears a voice from behind.
That sound calls his name. When that man hears this sound, he instantly stands up with his sword, to attack. But when he looks back, he saw nobody. But there is something white and blurred floating in the air.
That thing was a spirit👻. A spirit, which you can call a ghost also. That spirit was quite weird. It was not looking clear whether it was male or female. Neither happy nor sad. With an emotionless and blank expression, it was floating in the air.
.
And while floating, it says, ‘I am the spirit of seeing. The boy does not understand that but he is not afraid either. He points with his sword, who are you and what do you want?
Spirit says, ‘I don’t need anything. ‘just want to show you my powers’.
I am the “spirit of seeing“.👻👀
I can show you anything which you want to see. Hearing this, that boy gets confused. But still, since such a strange thing is happening, he asks, ‘Can you show me anything? ‘Show me the world’s most expensive and gold-plated sword.
Hearing this, that spirit blows and makes smoke. In which that boy can see the shiny gold-plated sword. With which, a man is training with that sword. It stays for a while and then disappears.
Seeing this, the boy gets very excited and comes up with an idea, which comes to every young person’s mind. He smiles and says, ‘Show me the world’s most beautiful girl’.
Again, smoke forms in front of him, and such a beautiful girl comes, a girl who is so beautiful, that he has never thought of even in his mind. That girl has black hair, blue eyes, a cute face and an attractive body, and seeing her, that young boy freezes.
You can say, his eyelids come out. He looks at her for 5 minutes, after which the smoke disappears. he comes back to his senses and asks the spirit to show him the world’s most powerful warrior.
Again, smoke, and brings the image of a perfect warrior, who is very muscular, has a body like Greek God, has a beard, and has worn an attractive armour dress, who is killing enemies one by one.
Seeing this, that young boy gets impressed.
.
He thinks that one day he will become like him. After seeing all this, that young boy says, ‘that’s enough. ‘I’ve seen many things, you can go now.
After saying this, again that boy starts sharpening his sword and gets involved in his work.
Spirit replies, ‘It’s okay if you don’t want to see anything ‘. ‘I am going. And if you feel like seeing anything again, you can come to the forest, there I can show you anything you want.
The man ignores it and does his work. As the weeks pass, he reminds everything he saw. So he goes into the forest, sees the spirit, and comes home again. Anyhow he is trying to stop himself but,
One day, when he is so tired, he says, ‘Let me see her again’. He goes and starts putting his demands.
Sometimes he sees beautiful places in the world, sees different seasons, sees his friends who aren’t with him, and sees many beautiful girls in many things.
That’s how weeks turn into months, and after some months, changes start coming in that boy. Where earlier that boy used to practice for hours now he used to come one hour earlier.
And then he had called that spirit into his home. Due to this, he could see anything he wanted to see. Similar things happened 1 hour ago, Slowly he became so comfortable, that he started coming 2 hours earlier. Then three hours.
He told the spirit to show me how good warriors fight. And repeatedly, he started seeing all those things. Watching those newcomers fight, he used to think to become like them.
.
Like this, he started changing gradually. When he used to come home after training, when girls wave at him, he doesn’t even look at them. He used to ignore them. Because now he had seen such attractive girls, he used to think, about getting those girls.
And when he will find such a girl, he will marry her and will live with her, whom he deserves. He used to see more battles and choose any one of them as his favourite hero, and cheered for that, when he lost, he even grieved for him. And then made someone else his hero. And started looking at his fights. He was feeling good doing all this.
He was feeling so good, that he stopped sword practising. Now he didn’t sharpen his sword after coming home. In fact, he stopped sharpening his sword. Through which rust started to appear on the sword.
But still, he didn’t care. Because he started liking, he could see whatever he wanted, could become happy, and could move forward.
It wasn’t like he was just having fun, he started feeling jealous seeing other warriors. Because he was seeing himself that he isn’t strong enough. And others are very strong. After a certain time, he started feeling that he can’t become a warrior.
And those who are becoming, are different from him. They have a lot of things, which he doesn’t have. And that’s why he won’t be able to become a warrior.
Now, those whom he considered his hero, he started being jealous of them and started abusing them. Even if he goes running, he wouldn’t have run well. His body started getting heavy! He found the shield too heavy! His skills also started dying!
.
And some more years passed, and now he gave up on his big dreams. Now his goal was not to become a warrior.
Now he used to watch battles by using spirit and used to try to win imaginational battles there.
In fact, now he was 34 years old. Unmarried, and frustrated in his life, and there was nothing good in his life. He was thinking this and suddenly that spirit in the corner started laughing.
The boy saw shockingly, in the last 10 years, that spirit didn’t show any emotion. But today it was laughing. And after 10 years, that spirit said something like this, hearing that man got stupefied.
Spirit said I’ve done my job! My task is completed.
Now that shocked person asked, ‘What are you saying? Spirit started laughing madly again. Here’s the secret, which I kept for the last 10 years!
In reality, I am an evil demon spirit.
I am the root darkness of this world. Today, a demon will attack this village. And it was being told in prophecy, that you were born to defeat that demon.
You could be the greatest warrior in this world. You were the only potential warrior who could end the darkness. But now it’s too late. Now you can’t do anything. We will snatch the souls of every single villager today.
After hearing his, that person gets shocked. But still, that person asks, why did you wait for 10 years? You could kill me 10 years ago. Then the spirit told, it was also being told in prophecy, no demon or warrior of this world can defeat you!
And, I’m just a little spirit.
I can’t even touch you!
But the one who could defeat you was you! self.
.
That’s why instead of fighting, I gave you slow poison. Showed you such fantasies, did such things, due to which you became weak gradually, and turned to a weak man, who can’t save even himself and this village either.
Hearing this, that person’s mind shook completely! He started feeling remorseful.
He started having stomach aches, so much pain that he lay down. But still, he said slowly in pain, ‘Can I see those beautiful girls again’?
The spirit laughed and said,
‘Yes… always’.😈
The story which I told is very ancient. It was not true,
the truth is that this is the story of today’s modern man.
Because see, the spirit which is killing humans by giving slow poison,
That is the internet🌐, porn🔞, and social media.
There are many billion-dollar companies, which are making your life easy, but in actuality, they are making you weak.
And there is a quote on this,
‘Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, and good time creates weak men, and weak men create hard times.
G. Michael Hopf in his novel (Those who reamin)
This is a cycle which repeats in history again and again. Whenever we humans become weak, it creates such a time which ruins everyone.
And this is absolutely true. You see, today men have become physically and psychologically weak.
30 years ago from now, The weight a man could lift with their hands, today’s men can lift 10 kg less than that.
Maybe lifting weight seem not so important to you!
But do you know one more interesting fact, from 1980, the testosterone level of men, is decreasing by 1% yearly? This means the testosterone level of today’s generation, is 30-40% less than their parent’s generation!
.
Men in their 20s are facing problems like erectile dysfunction, which was not much before.
Depression is also increasing in men. 80% of those who do suicides are males.
In fact, today’s young men, instead of making relationships, socializing with people, and fulfilling their mission and purpose, are wasting their time on unreal things.
Porn, drugs, masturbation, by being trapped in all these addictions.
Agree or not, all these things are pointing towards a tsunami of weak mankind.
Do you know, the worldwide male infertility crisis has increased so much? From 1973-2011, male sperm count has fallen to 52.4%. And the reason behind all this is overstimulation.
Overstimulation, which we are getting from the internet today. And we are getting this through big companies. And the second reason behind all this is, Purposeless men.
Do you know, in August 2020, there is a website named only fans, which is an adult website? It had around 1.2 million creators.
Most were females, obviously, which are creating various types of sexual content. To watch these 1.2 million girls, there are more than 50 million paying customers.
And guess, who are most of them?
Males.
The founder of ‘only fans’ has claimed that their user base is increasing by 5 lakh users per day.
That means millions of men, are wasting their money in this virtual world. And day by day, they are becoming weak.
Both 💪physically🥱, and psychologically🤏🧠.
By watching Instagram models and porn, many times they experience all those things, which can’t happen to them in real life.
When a person does this thing, the brain can’t understand, that is it happening in real or not. Because it is getting dopamine which it needed.
.
But you can ask this question to yourself, will that Instagram model or other girl make a pose in front of you? Obviously, they won’t do it.
All this is fake, an illusion. So, stop cheating yourself. If you want such experiences in real life, then first, come out of this imaginary world.
Come to the real world. Fight for what you need. Earn it.
The last and most important reason, which the author tells in ‘Way of Superior Man‘, is that today’s men have completely forgotten their purpose.
What is that purpose?
Every person has at least 3 major purposes in his life.
The first one is to survive, obviously.
The second is to reproduce so that they can go forward.
And third is to do something meaningful for his family and society.
Now, our ancestors were working to fulfil these three purposes. And in the last 100 years, our all purposes have been lost somewhere. For most men, survival has become easy.
They live in their parent’s house, eat good food cooked by their mother, and enjoy their time, by using TV and the Internet, which, you can say, their survival is guaranteed.
And for physical needs, many things are available at your fingertips, due to which they have become addicted. And they keep getting all these things, that’s why they don’t feel like doing any meaningful thing.
They don’t feel the need!
Whereas on the other hand, if you see, in culture, our masculinity is shown negatively. Feminine nature is being promoted too much! You see, if any superior man puts his opinion ahead, then people make him shut up.
Just because, he is saying something which feminists don’t like. And similarly, many things are happening, due to which males can’t speak up openly, reacting and taking action is too far.
Somewhere, our education system, our laws, everything is suppressing males. Due to this, these things are growing more.
So, the point is to start reducing all these bad habits. I won’t ask you to stop it forever, that is not possible.
All of us have become addicted to all these things.
Start reducing it, and start taking challenges.
The new year is about to come, so create some goals for yourself. Start doing something purposeful for yourself.
.
I want you to start thinking, about what you need in life, and how you can achieve it! How to define your goals?
be a purposeful man, be a strong man.
Thanks for being so long, Spread it, men!🏋️
