“Life is a grindstone, and whether it grinds a man down or polishes him up depends on the stuff he’s made of.”  – Josh Billings

“Every time you meet a situation, though you think at the time it is an impossibility and you go through the torture of the damned, once you have met it and lived through it, you find that forever after you are freer than you were before.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

What happens when a man’s spirit dies? When his spirit is gone, he has no desire to live life fully.

The preference of a solitary life, living vicariously through others, or residing only in your comfort zone is a strong indication that you are not living your life fully.

When a man rests comfortably in a life of complete solitude, rejecting intimate connections based on fear of loss or resentment of past transgressions, he is lacking a crucial element that humans need to flourish: love.

When a woman decides to misplace her unrealized dreams onto another, acting as an overzealous cheerleader, she has effectively lost one crucial element that humans need to propel life forward: passion.

When a man decides to perpetually live in a space where comfort is a constant companion, consistently resisting change or idling within the boundaries of complacency, he is missing one crucial element humans need to grow: freedom.

So what happens when a man’s spirit dies? He ceases to live.
