Lack of Work Causes Insanity

Men need to work. Women need to work too, but mainly we just want to help others. It doesn't matter if we have a corporate job or not, as long as we are helping others in some way, we are happy. But with men, it is wired in their DNA to absolutely need a normal job. If they cannot find a job or they get fired, they go completely insane. I have seen this happen to two guys. My ex was out of work for a few months. His mental health seriously went into a downward spiral. My other ex who shot up the building was out of work for about 2 months. He was fired from two different jobs. I think it was just that he was young, and his social skills weren't that great. My ex-husband quit his job because he thought people were trying to kill him. To this day I have no idea why he thought that, but he had a lifelong battle with paranoia. Maybe he literally fantasized that people wanted to kill him, because he wanted to die. That is pretty insulting to me since he was married to me at the time, but it is what it is. Lots of people are a tad suicidal and there isn't much the rest of us can do about it. If they want to die, sometimes you have to just let them die. Or you have to decide to leave them alone if you are causing them to feel that way. 

The more fulfilled a person feels in the work they do, the less they will want to die. So many people never found their calling, so they feel useless. None of us want to feel useless. We all want to feel that our lives matter, that our heart matters, that we can contribute something to this crazy world. We all want to make the world a better place. The law of God is written on our hearts and we all know what needs to get done to help people. We all want to help but most don't know how. So a lot of people just give up at some point. Maybe they failed in trying to change someone for the better. Maybe their dreams didn't come true yet, so they give up trying. They give up hope. 

You have to maintain a dream for your life to keep yourself in a happy state. If you give up that dream, you probably will start to go crazy. A life without hope is a very depressing life. 

If you hate your job, quit and find something you love to do. Something that gives you a sense of meaning and purpose. If you hate not working, then work. If you hate where you live, then move. If you hate whoever you are with, there are always other people you could be with. You don't have to hate your life. You don't have to hate your job. Create a life for yourself that you love, and you will most likely want to live forever. You are the architect of your future. Build a great one.
