Movies about a protagonist that does nothing his entire life until the age and inactivity catches up with him and he finds he's become an old man with nothing left but regret??

Why not ones about a protagonist who consciously refuses to contribute to the beast system his entire life, keeping his innocence intact, becoming an old man entirely at peace with himself while all the sell-outs he knew require constant validation and live in terror of the fates awaiting them?

you arent an old man though, youre just fantasizing about one day - not yet - being at peace
there's a reason no old men are at peace with a wasted life, because it's a wasted life. if you genuinely believe the world is just a system of beasts and evil, you won't be at peace as an old man who did nothing his entire life
life is meant to be lived, not just observing it from the sidelines not participating in anything at all
you also wont keep your "innocence" intact whatever that means

>>223573314
yeah i dont know anything about you but for a few things, like the fact you didnt contest any core point of what I said.
You clearly aren't at peace if you're having this much of an emotional reaction to someone questioning your passive sidelines life. You would genuinely just not care what I have to say.
Remember when you're an old man that you were warned. You coddle yourself with fantasies and dreams that justify doing nothing but one day you're going to wake up and realize you wasted your life and you won't have anyone to blame but yourself.

200 years ago, you could risk your life in a war to find riches, marry a beautiful virgin woman, live life as you wished

we are animals mind raped by technology and the loss of our tribal groups, we evolved as tribes and communities of dozens or more always permanently living together, now we have much smaller groups if you have one at all

Feeling the stress of taking risks, the stress of being in confrontations, etc is something people can actually avoid and actively will choose to avoid
It leads to living like that
Just my guess anyways. I’m thinking people back in ye olden days lived faster paced lives and were too busy trying to survive to not have that be an option and then died before they knew it

Thank fuck I managed to reproduce, went from every single day feeling like pointlessly floating through a pointless existence to life becoming extremely simple and focused, I need to raise this baby the best I can and provide the best I can and help her enjoy her life until its time for her to carry the fire her parents once held. Work became infinitely more bearable once I had a baby.

Life is inherently risky. You worry about divorce but you’ll also worry about your kids. Any good thing worth having in life will has the risk of loss and pain and suffering associated with it.
You won’t be picking a woman blindly. Specifically seek out wife material. Don’t be greedy about what you want in a woman. Focus first on if she passes a wife test then see what other things you can get after that. For example, you don’t need to discuss intellectual things with your wife. You can get that elsewhere if you really need it. A lot of women that can do that are also poor wife material. So just be mindful of the actual wife you’re picking and you’ll be fine. The risk of divorce is totally worth having kids. The point of life is to have kids, not to min max your bank account. You’d rather be divorced with kids than die a rich bachelor

Refusing to participate in evil is not equivalent to "doing nothing at all". The reason you normies need constant stimulation/validation is because the second it ceases your consciencees starts tormenting you. You're only able to keep them at bay by surrounding yourseful with other fallen degenerates. And like every normie that's ever lived, for you "failing to follow the script" and "wasting your life" are necessarily equivalent. If anyone challenges that delusion, you lash out with venom because it's an existential risk. Your entire psychological life revolves around preventing your mind from becoming conscience of the fact that you're a willing cog in the beast system.

Everyone dies. You're not going to get a better afterlife because you sucked the right dicks or did what your owners told you to, dipshit.
>>
>>223573917
You’re the one assuming a lot now dude. Do you even have a reason to live? You just have fantasies of normies, I doubt you even know anyone intimately
We all die but not all of us live, and you’re acting proud about not living life which is pathetic. You organize your thoughts and life around evil yet curiously choose to be neutral, or only style yourself as such, when you actually choose to attack those who are good for fighting evil. You may just be a bystander but you’re an evil one

1. take her hymen then dump her instantly without t any explanation
2. introduce her to some female friends that will convince her to dump you or fuck someone else to "practise"
3. convince her to go to university so she becomes a dyke whore cretin
4. batter her to a pulp then shoot her dog

From a young age, I understood clearly that getting married, having a kid and getting a house were precisely the three things that I never wanted to do in life. As I've grown older, even understanding why others would want these things, my personal attitude hasn't changed. I even caught with old college friends a while back, generally married with children. I'm glad they're doing fine, but I can honestly say that I didn't envy any of them.
>>
>>223573553
>she was a borderline hippie femcel
sounds like her dad got to her first..but she pretends to 'not remember' to keep her mom happy. have fun at the family functions
>>
>>223575935
I feel the same. Growing up with a disabled brother made me disregard ever having kids and I think my life is substantially less stressful because of it. My sister will show me her dating app picks and it’s sad seeing men 45+ state they still want children one day. Getting married would be nice, but since I don’t desire having a family I’m ambivalent towards it. And those I know with families maybe 3/10 are actually fulfilled by it rather than regretful and almost resentful from it. It’s definitely not for everyone
>>
>>223576019
>And those I know with families maybe 3/10 are actually fulfilled by it rather than regretful and almost resentful from it

Is that real? I see so many on twitter talking about how fufilling it is and how no one really knows how good it feels until you're a parent and I see all these people getting engaged on instagram and i feel so left out. I kinda suspect i'd be miserable with any choice i made, but i also suspect that's cope
>>
>>223576256
From my experience that has basically been the case. People won’t always broadcast the negative aspects of their lives on social media. I have a few friends right now dealing with infidelity from their spouses or partners, toxic relationships in general, custody battles, divorce, etc. Things I don’t envy and wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. It’s not even cope anymore to tell myself the grass truly isn’t always greener.

>Is that real? I see so many on twitter talking about how fufilling it is
you hear your friends/coworkers complain about the lowest parts..and see the highest parts on social media. it has it's ups/downs, but still better than having nothing other than tv/message boards. although id trade with my neighbors who are 'dog parents' and travel/eat out all the time. but they're probably next door right now wishing they were me with a house full of kids. grass is greener type thing
>>
I'm alright if I don't compare myself to anyone. I'm wrecked if I compare my life to the perfect life I might have had. Ironically, comparing myself to my peers makes me feel a little better, since even though on the face of it they enjoyed their youth more than I did, they don't look any happier than me.
>>
>>223576563
Never compare yourself to others. I have friends that are married and/or have kids and they envy the single life immensely. Being so fucking old now I’ve come to the conclusion that no matter what happens no one is happy with their decisions

there's a difference between envy and wanting a break
the single life is nice in many ways
but i've chosen to be a family man for a good reason
it's nice to fantasize about extra spare time, but I also know if I actually was single, some of that spare time would be spent being incredibly depressed about being alone and without a family
I'll have free time if and when I retire
