Hi Everyone Sandman Here,
This video is brought to you by a donation from Just Some Guy and here's what he has to say: "Sandman, I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on self actualization for men who have overbearing empathy. I realize this is a minority of men. I'd like to point out that I personally believe altruism, sensitivity, and empathy are all 3 different things entirely and would like to hear your explanation for their differences as well. Personally, I've known very sensitive people who are far from empathetic. It seems like there is a hint of paranoia, selfishness, and willing victimhood mixed in with their emotional outbursts. And altruism, to me, is similar to empathy because you feel for another person (generally selfless) in the moment but on an instinctual level. Whereas empathy as I've always thought of it requires a conscious effort and having a good imagination as well as a variety of experiences to pull from expands one's capabilities. Anyways, what I'm interested in is along the lines of prescriptive advice pertaining to empathetic men protecting themselves from being taken advantage of while they are on the path to going their own way. As I've mentioned in a previous donation topic, I decided to go truck driving to get away from having my soul suffocated. Everywhere I go, people are drawn to me because I have a very approachable vibe to me (like a counselor figure/personality) so I'm personally not worried about being isolated over the road. I will have life mobility to enable me to have many touch and go conversations to get my fill of being authentic and empathetic with people in ways that can't bite me in the butt later, however I won't have any "real" friends or consistent people to confide in. I've already been dark for a couple years regardless, have less than 5 people I care to keep up with in my life (all family), and have honestly been happier this way despite people thinking I'll go crazy being "socially isolated" or whatnot. Quality over quantity comes to mind. Now, I have a couple philosophies I wouldn't mind your insight on and I'll try to sum them up the best I can without making this post incredibly long. First off: "Empathy without strength (and resources) is suicide." Similar to the idea of having enlightened self interest except that I assume there is a very real, practical element involved such that there is a real tangible cost associated with being empathetic, whether it be with observable stress or the unwise enabling of others to take advantage of you or just being an investment of time and energy by its very nature (which may payout but with a vast majority of people it will not be reciprocated at an equal or greater level than what your put in). Second philosophy is this: "Don't be a bucket, be a fountain." Assuming in this analogy that water is your unique "energy" that makes you who you are, don't be like the masses of NPCs who act like buckets drawing and pouring water here, there, and everywhere on a daily basis in order to be satiated. There's an understanding in not getting involved with people so much that you drain yourself pouring out to others cheaply or with little to no reward for it. "Don't throw pearls to swine" comes to mind. Also that you don't want to be someone desperately looking for validation and purpose from the wells of others. Invest in yourself and find your own wellspring of water to dig up, build a fortress around it, and decide who to share it with by letting your excess/surplus spillover like a fountain. I think MGTOW is about men who have their own well guarded wellsprings and can occasionally share with others because our identities have taken root away from the zombie apocalyptic cities of moral degeneracy. Thoughts?
