Most men live lives of quiet desperation.

It's one of my favorite quotes ever, because it's true.

You're just in this world where you just can't wait to just run away.

But I think one of the reasons why these people have this deep-seated anger and resentment is

there's a bunch of people out there that have these lives that are deeply unsatisfying.

Because I think there are so many people that are working all day long doing something that is deeply unsatisfying and almost painful to them.

Soul killing.

Soul killing. They're stuck in traffic all day and then they're stuck in a cubicle after that.

They relish the time to take a shit in the bathroom and look at their phone.

I mean, they literally do though, that's a highlight of someone's day.

They get in traffic on the way home.

They get home after that. They're watching television.

I think if people have a regular day job, if you could just find some one thing that you do as a passion project and just keep building on it.

Just keep at, keep watering it, keep adding fertilizer, keep giving it attention, keep giving it focus, and you can escape.

You can escape and you can be self-serving. You can be okay. You're going to be okay.

Look, man, for making furniture feels good. If you can do that, you could cut those corners perfectly and sand everything down nice and stain it.

And then it's done and you get the satisfaction and you sell it to someone and that pays your bills.

That is infinitely more satisfying than being stuck in some cubicle working for someone that you don't want to work for.

Having to have these stupid office meetings, talking to people and human resources, sitting down with your supervisor,

where they evaluate your job performance and you know, you're not really, you know, you really need to be enthusiastic about this company.

This company is your future, this kind of like, you're like, kill me now.

You know, there's a lot of people out there that would rather do something else and I hope they understand that they can.
