killing yourself over money is stupid

Honestly, if I was 19 again. This is what I would have done.
>Going into the Air National Guard or National Guard
>Benefits of getting paid, work experience, free college/trade/other programs
>Go to a community college, DO NOT GO TO A UNIVERSITY.
>Test the waters there if you like it, you can transfer to any state college you want
>if you don't, test out a trade school
>while doing all of this, put $100 into the stock market and learn about it
>don't use fake money because there is zero emotional tie. pick up a book while you're at it.
>now you're 24, veteran, somewhat an understand how the markets/invest work (You'll understand how fast your life can change from a couple investments), work experience, you'll have a college degree or finished a trade program
>you can go back into the military and retire at 39/40, look for a job in the private/public sectors, or whatever
That's what I would've done if I was 19. I'm 27 and a complete fuck up. I've had one job when I was 24 that I worked for a year. Father was going to start up a business but stopped. So I was ass out again. I haven't had a job or anything since then. I do have about 80k in crypto from trading and just learning more about markets and shit, but I'm constantly on fucking edge. I'm almost done with University and I'm just going straight into the military at this point, no one will hire me or anything. It fucking sucks. I always feel for the younger guys on here. I see myself in you guys. Don't live in your head. Sit down and think were you would like to be in 3 years. Write out a plan. Don't be like me, some 27 year old loser who still lives at home, couple hundred dollars in his bank account, 1 job, 3k in debt, and still in school. Just view this as grid time. Good luck anon.

Things changed but they don't. Diogenes was figured out human interaction long before anything. There is a reason why they teach Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates but not Diogenes. It's because Diogenes is right about human society. We deny our true self. If people were to find their way through the smoke and mirrors. Society would collapse in an quickly. You'll never have to worry about that because the pull of being successfully and pressures from your peers is too strong.

That's my goal in life. To emulate Diogenes style of life and get an understand of life to a realistic degree. No playing pretend in a world that were are so desperately trying to make up. Hopefully one day I'll be in D.C living like my teacher Diogenes.
