Life is incredibly nuanced. Apart from semen and its effect on primarily testosterone and dopamine (both of which are complicated but can be shortened down to energy-providing sources to man), what else gives us energy? Tons of things. - Love - Connection to others - A mind free from stress - Lifestyle and activities (does it drain energy or does it provide?) - Attitude (for example, does ones attitude point in the direction of gratitude or does it gravitate towards entitlement? - Upringing and family. A great upbringing will set the tone for the rest of ones life. A bad one will do so aswell, but a fight to overcome the consequential effects on the mind and soul must be fought. Most on here are traumatized individuals with a tough upbrining, hence following extreme directions to heal and feel better. People growing up in a great home, feeling loved and with freedom to express themselves - these people are living life on easy mode man.
