Top 10 lies from the modern culture that are leaving you:

Lonely
Unhappy
& Unfulfilled

~THREAD~
Lie #1 You are perfect just the way you are.

The cult of self-love preaches that:

- You are enough
- You don't have to change
- You should be accepted for who you are

This keeps you WEAK.

The "good enough" version of yourself is a threat to the best version of yourself.
Lie #2 Sex is just sex.

Our culture has normalized:

Sex work
OnlyFans
Hooking up
Pornography
One night stands
Multiple partners
Open relationships

We need to make sex intimate again.
Lie #3 Watching pornography is normal.

"The problem with pornography is not that it shows too much, but that it shows too little."

Pornography is a fantasy.
It is a distortion of sex.
It is a distortion of love.

It hurts men, women, and the bond between the two.
Lie #4 You should follow your passion.

What is your passion?

Can you answer that question in 10 words?
What about 5 words?
1 word?

Could you do your passion forever?
What about days that you just don't feel like it?

Don't pass by your purpose on your path to passion.
Lie #5 You have to go to college to be successful.

You don't have to follow a certain path because that is what is expected of you.

Don't aim to follow anyone else's path.

Aim to create your own unique path.
Lie #6 You should delay marriage in favour of a career and personal fulfillment.

Delaying marriage and family is a risky endeavour, especially for women.

You have more time to:

Travel
Find yourself
Build your career

Than you do to build a family.
Lie #7 Women and men are the same.

"Equality" has left men without purpose and women without fulfillment.

Men are the providers.
Women are the nurturers.

No amount of Orwellian doublespeak can change that.
Lie #8 If you are a good person, you have to be a leftist.

You can fool many people by packaging ideas as:

Equality
Progress
Compassion
Human decency
Reproductive rights
Women's/LGBT rights
Diversity, equity, and inclusion

Buzzwords are powerful.
Lie #9 You should watch the news.

The news supposedly keeps you informed and educated.

In reality, it keeps you scared and obedient.

Either way, you were not designed to carry the burdens of the world on your shoulders.
Lie #10 You have all the time in the world.

Time is your most valuable asset.

You can't buy it.
You can't make it.
You can't get it back.

"Enjoy your 20s while you're young."
Lie #10 You have all the time in the world.

Sure, but think about how many people wish they:

Had a baby sooner
Started a business sooner
Did what they always wanted to do sooner

Time is your only truly limited resource.
