Guts + Griffith = Immune to P*rn Addiction

Guts and Griffith Show us how we can be immune to porn addiction both characters similarly had an overarching dream but their paths diverged and caused the two to be completely different once that dream was shattered in Griffith he went to more instantly gratifying desires like um to go sleep with the princess he went to these more instantly gratifying desires because he lost his vision for a better future in his lowest moment he betrayed his principles seeking fleeting Pleasures with the

Princess that offered temporary Solace but ultimately led to his downfall when we lose sight of our long-term goals we risk being consumed by short-term desires for guts the story The Narrative a lot of it is him trying to control his anger you know his desires his destructive Behavior because he knows that his behavior is destructive when when he lets himself go you know the Demon’s guts has to fight every night evil things that he has to

Be constantly aware of that will tempt him trick him or attack him outright with no respit he’ll be literally consumed by them if he if he slips up if he if he lets himself go the Berserker armor appears just when guts seems to be at his most run down upon first use of the armor he immediately gains a second win and seems like he can do anything as long as he has the armor when he stops

Using it though all of the Pains of the real world become very much real as the armor is no longer there to numb the pain so he continues using it and as time goes on he begins feeling the side effects of using it you know his his condition worsens when he’s without it he’s weakened when he’s without it he like it’s almost like he needs it now his health begins to dwindle almost as if he feels he cannot function without

It to me this parallels the the dwindling effect the spiral downward of like a drug addict a lot of people indulge in the substance of their choice when they feel like they’re low you know when they’re low they need to pick me up and there it is they noticed that the drugs numb the pain of everyday life and then they take this as a sign that oh maybe I should keep using it then but then it starts to not work as much

Anymore it starts to lose its effect so either I need more or I need to deal with it and maybe it’s kind of scary to deal with that head on you know so maybe a lot of people would just keep doing more keep up in the ante if they stop using it then they go through withdrawals and that feels like like the body can’t function without it anymore you know but the more that they use it the more that

They’ll suffer later with the the more that they use it the the more they prolong using it the more that they suffer because they know that later on it’s going to be like hell to get through the withdraws you know with prolonged use they begin suffering more and more side effects but they feel they can’t stop because they don’t want to suffer through the pain of withdrawal guts’s rage is also a substance he abuses a crutch he was using to avoid the pain

That would come with acceptance and healing of what’s happened in his life the armor specifically is just a magnification of it but he’s had the Beast his entire life though it’s just grown stronger and more distinctly personalized as he’s given into it more and more in his lowest points there are many like specific small moments isolated times that could be called back to to like uh exemplify the idea of abusing a substance being addicted to drugs you

Know there there’s a lot of examples in that in the story of Berserk but I think one that broadly encapsulates all of that is the brand of sacrifice a mark which tells him that he will always have demons to fight as long as he has the mark As long as he lives and breathes I’ve read how this manga has helped many people battle and Conquer their drug addiction seeing themselves as the branded one and having that internal

Struggle with the monster within struggling for power you know struggling to to not give into it life is a constant struggle and we’re all strugglers we just have to push forward things will get better we just have to make it better we can’t feel bad for ourselves when we control our destiny and we control how things go we decide it remember life is hard but it’s even harder if you don’t do anything to change it you don’t do anything about it

Keep upgrading every day to become the best version of yourself keep your life and to show everyone who you really are never settle always have the mindset of improvement the worst you feel the more you’ll feel like you want to revert back to that addiction but the more you feel like you want to revert back the more you should draw on that feeling to feed your drive that’s what guts does he turns misery into Power let your

Struggle be your strength remember what guts did and how he kept fighting and since his story hasn’t finished the fight will keep going until it’s over you got to do the same you got to keep fighting keep fighting until you win you have to struggle in life you have to because you only have the one after it’s all done then what happens what’s left this is the time right now to deal with it now you got to walk

Barefoot through a path of broken glass and spikes and Lego pieces that’s life it’ll hurt and it’ll be tough you’ll want to surrender but if you don’t surrender you will eventually find something worth the struggle keep struggling keep fighting keep swinging your giant sword of Hope don’t let your inner demons take over you are capable of this and much more go out there and struggle show the world what you can do what you’re capable of show the world

How far you can go there’s no fighting just to die keep struggling and struggling until the end of ends then struggle some more guts says if you’re alone if it’s just your life you can use it however you please wear yourself out get cut to Ribbons doesn’t matter but when there’s two the blade grows heavy fighting like death doesn’t concern you becomes a thing of the past it’s no longer just you I threw away my my way

Of life relied on the strength of others and somehow pushed on our dreams our relationships our aspirations they give us hope for the future they give us purpose they make the struggle worthwhile remember that life is hard I said this already remember that life is hard but it’s harder if we refuse to act keep improving let your pain and challenges fuel your drive let your struggle be your strength whether you’re battling addiction dealing with setbacks or trying to reach like a distant goal

Something that seems almost too far away draw inspiration from guts fight your demons swing your sword of Hope show the world and yourself how far you can go I think that guts and griffith were not so different before guts had left I mean yes they were different for sure but I think they were both on a good path of constantly trying to outwork and compete with each other when I was watching the anime this is what I

Noticed because it reminded me of how Hamza was saying like brotherly the the YouTuber Hamza he he talks about like brotherly competition like masculine brotherly competition that’s what guts and griffith reminded me of in the anime even though some people think they’re gay that’s not really I mean okay sometimes pretty gay but that’s not what I really noticed I noticed that they were like how Hamza described masculine Brotherhood I thought that guts and griffith were quite similar to each

Other always trying to one up the other once guts decided he no longer wanted to just serve Griffith’s dream even though he was all the while still improving himself during his time with the band of the hawk it’s almost like we saw what would happen happen if guts gave up because that’s what happened to Griffith gave up guts hasn’t given up yet he lost sight of his grander ambition and so almost naturally reverted back to a lower state of being

And maybe you can relate to this sometimes it can seem like we’re making a lot of progress and then something bad happens like we fail or just have a bad day or something and then all of a sudden the habits we’ve been building the person we were becoming starts to shatter and we revert back to the habits that we thought that we’ long since like gotten over but actually I think that this is okay to happen I just wanted to

Draw the connection because I think that this is why Griffith went to go sleep with the princess right away after guts left because you know he was on such a highrise High projected uh trajectory how could this guy ever fall for like low tier stuff you know he’s such a high tier how could he fall for the low tier stuff because when you lose sight when you lose Clarity like that then it becomes easy to like fall for Trixie

Fallen for already you know go back to the basics start jerking off again when we feel bad or feel like we’ve failed or feel abandoned we can do things that are instantly gratifying that we thought we might never do again because it’s so easy and stupid for many of us that’s porn so what can we learn from this honestly it’s okay to mess up like how Griffith did initially okay not what he did later okay sometimes we might

Stumble and fall into instant gratification when we feel low but the choice then becomes a are we going to stay down are we going to stay down after we fell down like Griffith did or are we going to get back up Griffith everything that could have went wrong went wrong for him you know he got caught with the princess and then he he was tortured for years like I mean yeah it’s the truth right are you going to stay down I mean maybe

I don’t it’s hard like did he have a choice voice he he had to stay down cuz he’s being tortured but just picture it like this okay are you going to stay down are you going to stay down or are you going to get back up like guts permit the feeling to pass through you accept that it happened and then get back up try your best try your best to get back up I’m not saying get back up try your best to

Get back up I think that’s the part that Griffith missed I don’t I don’t know I didn’t see what happened when he was in the torture dungeon but maybe he just completely gave up and didn’t even try you know there’s always something left to try a journey will have pain and failure it’s inevitable it is not only the steps forward that we must accept it is the stumbles the trials the knowledge that we will fail that we will hurt people

Around us but if we stop if we accept the person we are when we fail then that’s when the journey ends that failure becomes our destination to love the journey is to accept no such end I have found through painful experience that the most important step a person can take is always the next step life before death strength before weakness Journey before destination today is January 23rd I have a feeling like this isn’t going to get uploaded

Today um so whatever day it is for you I hope you’re having a good day keep trying your best all right I’m getting hungry talk to you later
