How to suicide-proof your life

How to suicide-proof your life.

Men today are killing themselves at a high rate. Almost everyone has had someone they know—even a close family member—kill themselves in the last decade. A little over a year ago, my younger brother hung himself for what appeared to be no reason.

The first question of natural law is, “Why shouldn’t I kill myself?” Those who fail to answer that question may not end their lives, but they certainly will not be living to their fullest.

No one needs a reason to kill themselves; what we need is a reason to live. Many reasons to live. And I say LIVE, not just SURVIVE.

I know what men need to feel excited to wake up every day, embrace the world, and live lives with meaning. I will tell you below, but it only works when you apply it now.

Purpose. A reason to live and a reason to have a good death.

This has to be something clearly defined so that it leads to action. It has to be bigger than you, and so you feel a sense of awe and responsibility to do it. Ideally, it is an intergenerational, group purpose.

Identity: Who we are and how we fit into reality.

White men today lack a clear and cohesive identity; we have forgotten who we are. This makes us susceptible to fake identities produced by groups that undermine our culture. You need to know who you are, not just as a man but as a part of a greater whole.

People: A tribe of local friends and family who love us.

Only a beast or a god can live alone. Men need other men to work on that common purpose with, a woman to marry, and a tribe to contribute to.

A man with purpose, identity, and a people will resist the death urge.

The man who is purposeless, nameless, and alone is already dead.
