What is this supposed to be? The last part, where it talks about ignoring the part of you that wants to win, reeks of cuckoldry.
It's been going around various social media folks. It does reek of giving up as wanted.
The narcissism with these people.
A soy bugman being unable to afford a house is not a "dragon slaying you." You didnt lose the battle, you never fought a battle. You meekly crawled through life on your belly and now want to normalize failure to hide your weakness.
There is nothing wrong with living a normal life, "returning to the village," so to speak. But you havent attained a normal life. That would require a wife and kids. The bare minimum almost every human since the stone age has been able to attain.
There IS something wrong with a generation dying alone surrounded by funko pops, and there is nothing transcendant about that life.
In fact, they have learned nothing: they are still just as arrogant as when they started, because they have succeeded at nothing, yet still feel qualified to tell other people how to live.
Sage words here.
weirdly, I feel like the 'returning to the village' line feels like a metaphor to returning to your parents home...
it's like the author is saying, "just give up and be a basement dweller the rest of your life"
The dragon does eat you more often than not, if you think you are fighting a dragon. One of the stupidest things you can do is to think of your problems as a dragon and yourself the upstart underdog in your own story - even more pathetic is the "shattered hero" who saunters home with a cuck slump and a limp dick, crying and pissing himself to sleep, humbled by "dragons". This is the price of thinking of your worldly problems as ferocious mythical beasts. Even as you overcome them, nobody sings ballads of your tale. No one sees you as a hero for overcoming them to begin with.
You see that douche who thinks maybe a little too highly of himself walking about with a swagger in his step, nothing bothering him? The living personification of Chad Thundercock? That guy is going to make it. To him, his problems aren't dragons; they're dinky little snakes and he is strutting on them, styling on them even. His enemies are weak, his problems are small, he sees all terrain, mountain or molehill, as easily traversible; they're the same to him, to the dismay of envious, unbelieving eyes, he can go anywhere and do anything. He is the "hero" in his own estimation and that's good enough for him.
Think of how the hero of these stories might see themselves. Think of how good Heracles (Arnold Edition) feels flexing his 30" biceps infront of a mirror. Yeah, exactly. Underdog struggling to overcome is the wrong fucking mindset to have - that's why this cuckold faileth.
In my life I am the one with the boss music, and I am going to embarass anything calling itself a "dragon".
Can somebody please for the love of GOD turn down the Crawling In My Skin blasting through the intercoms?! I can't hear myself think!
No.
I beat getting over it too many times to believe this shit.
As someone getting towards 40, the world absolutely wants my gifts, it just can't afford them.
You don't get it man, your life is just a deconstruction of the tropes. /s
