Every man should internalize the
Tetrapharmakos
Don't fear god,
Don't worry about death;
What is good is easy to get,
What is terrible is easy to endure
1. If God gets angry at a mild transgression, that is a sign of weakness. God has eternal strength, therefore he will never be angered.
2. You don't feel anything when you die. Never feeling happiness is not the same as feeling eternal sadness
3. "What is good" is simply pleasure without pain. Don't we all feel that way at least once a week?
4. Pain subsides over time, and you eventually become numb to it.
Arthur C. Brooks gave a speech once (can't find it) where he states that we can only feel positive or negative about a certain event for up to 6 months. After that, we normalize it. So no point in worrying about some debilitating event (of lack of events) making your life miserable - you'll only feel that way for a few months. With or without support.
Ultimately, you want to look up on your deathbed and remember the good, adventurous life you lived. Not the boring, monotonous life you lived as a slave to a "family" that society prescribed to you.
People who genuinely care for you are important. They will let you truly live life. If they stop you from doing so, its out of self-interest, not love for you.
So find friends who truly care for you and let you do what you want. If you must get married and have kids, marry a woman who will join you in your adventures. That is the key to a good life.
Most people live in a prison without walls, gates, and guards. But they allow themselves to remain imprisoned out of fear of what lies in the forest beyond.
