    I heard this the other day from an old boy who was a wheelchair passanger and the last of the ww2 vets.

    We got chatting and I asked him where he was going …

    ‘Son … I’m going home to die’

    He lived in England but bought a place in Belgium to take his last breath near his fallen brothers. That’s where he called home.

    All the crew were in tears. An incredible man.

    However, it was when they were wheeling him off the ship, he turns to me, pulls me down to him and tells me…

    “That weight on your shoulders, holding you down and pulling you back ….

    is your folded wings.”

    I’m chocking up now while writing this.

    There are very few of them left and how many more words like those will they take with them.

    Unfold your wings guys. Do this old vet proud.

    I have no doubt he will smile on you all from above.

    Do him proud.

    “That weight on your shoulders, holding you down and pulling you back ….

    is you’re your folded wings.”

    wow,

    such an inspirational quote indeed.

    thanks for sharing

    MGTOW is not a movement, it is a way of life.

    I relate to those beautiful words. The times in my life when I was the happiest where the times when I jumped from the ledge of the mediocrity into the place I really wanted to be.

    And I can honestly say that each time I lost my position in that happy place, it was because I voluntarily gave it up for the sake of a woman. Each and every time. Never again.

    I miss having conversation with senior people. There isn’t much available for it where I live now. Most people seems to not like to listen to them much, and to each their own. In my case I can’t have a neighbour or landlord above 60, because I won’t leave them alone for hours anytime I see them. It is not because their wisdom only, but they are usually much more down to earth. I believe it is not just because they’ve seem some s~~~ (which one of you know a pigeon recipe?), but even people in his 50’s nowadays sounds either too idealistic or cartoonish cynical. Something something something Baudrillard.

    I have the greatest respect for the WW2 generation of men. Both my grandfathers were WW2 vets. I know first hand this perspective on life that is common among that generation.

    When I compare how great their sacrifices, ingenuity, and courage was to the current generation (on the whole), I am dumb founded. Most were less than 23 during the war – the acts of bravery they performed would be unthinkable for most of the millennials, Gen X and Y. The hell that they went through, emotional, physical, psychological – for me places things in perspective in my own life.

    Was having a bit of a down day – thanks for the reminder and uplifting message.

    “That weight on your shoulders, holding you down and pulling you back ….

    is your folded wings.”

    This is one of the greatest sayings I’ve ever heard. It’s definitely a great message to hear over and over again.

    I miss having conversation with senior people.

    Same here. Most older men even if they’re blue pill, have really great insights on life that you’d never get anywhere else. Most of the meaningful conversations I’ve ever had was when I was talking to older men.

    Imagine Trigglypuff trying to explain to one of these vets what it’s like to be triggered and the need for her safe space.

    F~~~ing sad.

    If I could kidnap passengers with my time machine I’d drop Trigglypuff off on D-Day, Island of Peleliu, bloody nose ridge.

    See how she manages her triggering and safe space s~~~ in a place where trees to hide behind have been atomized to splinters under her feet.
