Hello, fellow Sup Forumsacks. I have been wanting to start a thread on this topic for a while. I've come to a realization in the last few days:
-I'm a free man because I refuse to bow down to what society expects me to do.
I am 28, I work between 20 and 30 hours a week, and make enough money to get by and allow myself certain pleasures. I haven't had a girlfriend in quite some time and I don't even miss it. I don't want to have children, nor do I wish to marry anyone as it is clear to me that women can only be good partners if there is enough societal pressure to force them to behave properly.
I am free to travel wherever I want to, whenever I want to. I feel very free. I have freed myself from my porn and alcohol habits, and keep a very healthy lifestyle and diet. I am a MGTOW in a certain way, and I don't mind it because I already experienced all I wanted to experience with a woman, and I certainly don't miss those experiences. I am fairly red-pilled on kikes, fascism and race, so I don't let the media or a decadent society (like the German one) dictate what I should do. Any other guys here know what it feels like to be free?
I recommend becoming a hermit that reads poetry and does Shikantaza in order to achieve Denial of the Will-to-Live.
Within the context of Schopenhauer's metaphysics of the will, you are not truly free until you deny it through some mystical practice that leads to experiences akin to acosmism.

>tfw you have to be free Why even live?

You linked a pic of Schopenhauer. Have you studied him in-depth? He would say you're not free because you have not done "denial of the Will-to-Live" -- which involves asceticism.
He'd say the fact you are still gripped by insatiable desires means you are not free.

Cioran kicks ass.

Strong reading comprehension skills. In my post I clearly stated that I no longer let my instincts rule me, and I don't do any drugs. All I do in my spare time is consume art and literature and strive to live in virtue.

Society doesn't expect anything. Society doesn't have a mind, so it can't have expectations. Society is just an imaginary concept for aggregates of people. People don't all think the same thing, so it's absurd to say that society could expect something definite.
