Well fuck me man I legit just got into my vintage lighter addiction/obsession all started by an old zippo I bought off eBay. You got me brother. Well you got my wallet that is. Also just wanted to let you know adding a cigar to my hemp time on Friday nights before I head home has really done wonders for taking the stress of the week off my shoulders so that when I get home I’m very relaxed and capable of handling the craziness of being a young married father. It’s incredible how much of a relaxing effect the simple act has on the soul.

That's okay, that's what happens when people get married too, we learn from each other a little bit and help each other. Also, a dad will usually give his own advice as a man to their kids, be it daughter or son, and a mom will give their advice as a woman to her kids too.

He reminds me of how the pioneers must have thought, BEFORE we became a modern civilization, and have basically "brain washed" into believing so much garbage.

Quick correction: on a plane your instructed to put your OWN mask on first, then help others. You need to make sure you’re safe before you try to help others. If you pass out from oxygen deprivation while putting a mask on your 2 kids, they probably won’t be able to save you. If you get your own mask on first, then you can put a mask on someone else even if they passed out

Well I would definitely do that if my wife was beside me.

Then that rule seems like.. saying no ocean because a shark may kill you... It could... But the unlikely hood makes it so that the real problematic situation of my wife freaking out an not be able to breath because she's hyper ventilating if a large puncture happened, I'd just be thinking "well I was pretty sure this was coming soon one way or another, no one's every gonna prove this was democide. An if it doesn't work for me I'm sure plenty of other situations emerge where it is problematic an if I saw a man dies from masking so many people that he suffocates... An none of those people share the mask... . Like what kind of horrible series of events had to happen an not also just rip the hull wide open which... Now it's a free for all and what rules you followed did not matter a bit bc of high speed shrapnel and chairs being ripped out of the fuselage. Following frivilous rules potentially right before I'm dead you must think I'm stupid.

I don’t need $30,000 a year. I used to easily spend $1K-$4K a month depending on what I was doing (and that was me living cheap!) and since I stopped working I’ve spent less than $500..

Heres the thing though. When he said he doesn't need his wife. God designed male and female to meet one another's needs. God saw Adam was lonely so he took Adam's flesh and made a woman to fulfill his needs. We have a need for connecting. For sex. For love. Etc. So when you say you don't "need" anyone, you're lying to yourself and you will be miserable. You can't control others. But that doesn't stop you from having needs. And if the person you're with won't recognize your needs then maybe they don't really love you. You see, all relationships are about how you make watch other feel and what you do for each other. There are no one sided relationships that survive. That's called toxicity. Even economics proves this. Capitalism itself is literally the most popular system in the world because of the concept of "you scratch my back, I scratch yours". It's so sinple and easy. But the problem is typically you meet too many people who neglect you, so you think you're forced to adopt this mentality of "i dont need anyone". Okay tough guy. Be alone. Desire nothing. Don't care about anything or anyone. Don't ask for anything. Be miserable. I don't care. You do you.

The semantics of want and need don't hit home until you've lost someone that you've dedicated your entire life with/to. Men, a lot of the time, don't know we needed someone in our lives until they're gone. It's sad that people these days say "I don't need a man" or a woman. Of course you can exist as a person without someone. That's being an adult. There's also a difference between healthy and unhealthy attachment. You can want someone to be in your life and that's great, but true companionship means you've crossed that line from optional co-habitation to being intertwined on a spiritual or psychological level. That's when you make each other better than who you are as individuals. Need isn't an ugly word, it should be an expression of commitment.

I like this conversation. Wrestled with it most of my adult life as I watch my grandpa and uncles model exactly what you are saying. I do wonder if the shrinks are right though. A healthy human should go through 3 primary need stages : dependent, independent, and then interdependent. I think what I've realized is that my needs are the fuel for making others around me be their best. It's that atmosphere of interdependence that breeds the most wonderful thing: love. It can actually be selfish to not allow others to serve you, to not depend on them.

I’m with you most of the way on your distillation of stoic life philosophy. One critical component that’s missing though is gratitude. You grazed this briefly on saying you “want (not need)” your wife because she presumably enriches your life. We only find meaning and purpose in life when we feel a deep sense of gratitude for those we have in our life and we don’t take those we care about around us for granted. The Japanese have a great expression for showing gratitude before eating meals; Itadakimasu, which acknowledges all the people/things necessary to have put that food before you. A life without gratitude is a life without humility. A life without cooperation and community would be a Hobbesian nightmare: short and brutal. Self dependence must be balanced with gratitude. The cognitive ability to weather hardship and pain through self dependence frees us to experience the joy of having others to enrich our lives. Love your channel.

It's not often I see Dewayne get "scratchy", but it was good to see - and he was 100% correct about the thing he got scratchy about. Secondly, Dewayne, you actually got the airline part backward: they tell you to put YOUR mask on FIRST, and then help others. However, I have always found this weird (even though I understand their rational), and agree with your position and point you were trying to make with it. We simply don't help others enough anymore. Thanks for the continuous bits of wisdom. Good day to you, sir.

100% true, needing is what kills you when you dont have it anymore and can now only want.

I'm a girl and I really appreciate this. I've applied these principles to my life and they have helped me to be single-minded and sober in many areas of my life and grow to face challenges I've been avoiding. It helps me to identify Narcissism in myself and in others and the trap that it is. Thank you also for calling out the institutional church system brainwashing, too.

Congratulations with your daughter getting married Sir. And thank you for sharing the life advance and 'wisdom'. It's kind of a therapy to listen to you.

I love this channel. My father taught me similar values as what you share. I carry them through life today as a woman in my own way. It’s wonderful to find a gathering of humans from all walks of life who share these values. Thank you for walking the talk and sharing it with all of us, Dwayne.

This was posted a while ago, but it always seems like these videos are recommended at the exact right time for me, every single one. Thank you, and thank God for this deep wisdom.

Good afternoon Dwayne

Wow, what a GREAT speech. That was really awesome, and I just hope people listen to you because you are 100% correct. At 62, I have been married for over 30 years and that's just how I have lived my life, and so has my wife. We are not needy people and I retired because I don't need to work. Real men serve and protect for sure, They also help others (all the time), walk and talk softly, but carry a big stick. LOL. Thanks for this. It made my day.

This VIDEO really spoke to me my wife had a stroke and brain surgery I set up a go fund me and we found out who our friends are we have fee

I needed to hear this as a woman. I'm a Christian but a weak one, battling neediness and other spiritual battles. God is merciful and I need to be kept by him and I want Him to change me. He's working. 🙏🏻

Growing up my family and I were poor. I watched them create businesses and become really successful. I never went and worked for them. I went out and found my own work. They got property out in the country and in the city. 4 bedroom houses new cars and such. And my parents came to my home one day and talked crap on my old beat up pick up truck and talked crap on my two bedroom trailer. And the whole time they were talking I realized something. They are so stressed out and far from who they really are. Ain't no big house nor fancy car can generate happiness. I love my job. And I love my house. And I especially remember where I came from. Happiness is simplicity in life. I got my own little ten acres down at the grand canyon. I could rent my tiny cabin out and it'd be booked every night all year round and I'd never have to work but it'd make me soft. Live simple. You'll find peace. Live complex. And life will be stressful. Thanks for talking with us boss.

My host father is Spain was teaching me about this, the difference in the ways they use want or need in spanish is aligned with what youre saying. In english people tend to use need for things they dont really need.

Dwayne. Thank you again for sharing your wisdom. I get 100% what you are saying about helping the needy. I struggle with the ones that think they are needy but, in reality, won't pick up a paddle to steer their own ship. That is one of the true epidemics of today's society. The endless victim.

Dwayne you are the man. Not to be too tender but I can see the life you've lived in your eyes alone. The wisdom you speak can only come from experience and I can't tell you how much I appreciate your message. I know you don't always like to "tread muddy water" as you call it but men everywhere (and women) need to hear it. I always look forward to a new video even though I'm not a horseman and probably never will be. Your message always rings true and comes at the perfect time. You are in touch and in tune with the world we live in today and I can't thank you enough for all that you do not only for me, but for all the young men out there that need a message like the one you deliver. Thank you sir and God bless.

It’s actually to put first tour mask on and then help the others. Anyhow, great insights, thank you Sir.

I'm a 63 year old man from Alabama, I understand everything you are saying, continue your Godly advise.

As a woman that struggles with major mental health issues and unstable relationships within majority of my family (throughout both sides), your videos have assisted right along something I've been working on for myself called DBT Skills (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy). When I watch your videos, I really think about things that are occuring in my life and better ways to handle more situations better. Some of these skills are emotion regulation, slowing the mind; processing your situation in something called WISE MIND, instead of looking at things in the EMOTIONAL MIND or RATIONAL MIND, and being able to verbally express the yourself in a clear and concise manner. I would like to thank you for your very genuine and thoughtful delivery of the message that you convey each time. With every video I feel more and more life you're a distant uncle that helps pump me up and remind me of the reality of things, making me truly look inside and work on ME. I hope ya don't mind, but at this point, you're Uncle Dwayne to me!! 🤗🤎🤠

Congratulations on your daughter wedding when it comes. You should give this speech at the wedding too.

I’m reluctant to say I *needed* this video. But it sure was good to hear. I used to always say I didn’t need a man to do nothing for me, and I didn’t. But seriously, once my husband and I separated I feel a huge void. It’s true, I didn’t need him. I’ve done what I had to do without him, but I want him back. I love him. I see what I said was true, I didn’t need him, I wanted him, and I still do. I’d like to not hurt, but I have lived with the pain. I have lived without a second income. I’ve lived without a coparent. I don’t like it. I’ve felt like I was dying without it, but I haven’t died. I’m supposed to learn something thru the pain. You sharing your insight helps. Thank you.

I don’t fly much, but every time I fly they tell you to put your own mask on first then help put the mask on others. The idea being that if you run out of oxygen then you can’t help anyone. I’m not saying I wouldn’t help my neighbor first, but that’s what they recommend.

Thank you, I didn’t really had similar conversation like this before. Even from my dad. You’re helping me a lot to open my view for life

I needed this video Duane thank you, more men today need to hear this

A lot of this video really hit home for me, especially being able to voice that difference between needing and wanting someone. It can be challenging to explain that difference to other people in my life because when someone hears "I don't need, but I do want you" they automatically go into a defensive mode. Nowadays, I try to leave those words (need and want) out entirely and instead say "you are an important part of my life that I'd rather not live without". I think my wife and friends can appreciate that a lot more and I can too. Unfortunately, the airplane story didn't make as much sense to me because the actual rules of the oxygen masks are: “Should an emergency situation occur, you need to put your own oxygen mask on first, before attempting to help those around you.” However, I did understand the general message: Don't be so independent and self-serving that you become a narcissist who only cares for yourself. Thanks again for the awesome video!

This goes so deep and is such a valuable lesson to learn. As I have aged I have started to see the power of need vs want. I got my first taste of this when my spouse left for another guy. I went home to my family and after a few days I walked back to my house in the pouring rain. When I got to my home and walked in the door soaking wet there was something different about me. I felt what I needed, which was a place to rest, and I had let go of needing or wanting her. I cried at times but I let go at that point. My next relationship did not work out but it was so much easier to let it go because I didn't need it anymore, it was a luxury at best. I still feel like I have a long way to go on this road but the foundation for applying rhe learning is there now. And I am thankful for it.

Keep strong and have fun. Brother I know full well the feeling as well. But there are some really good Woman out there. I would not like when Dewayne would say "have fun." But his wisdom is similar to my own Father whom is close to 70. It is important to be balanced and have fun. I now do fun things. Long as it does not hurt nobody. I am actually taking up dance lessons soon. I rode a motorcycle in a South American country with my shirt open. I did pullups at a foreign beach. I want to get into airgliding to conquer my fear of heights. Brother, as Men, I am learning to live a full life so when God bless me to find a good wife, she will become a part of my wants. Idk if that helped but Mr Dewayne and his folks got me fired up to be more Godly and stuff.

Thank you for clearing up where that need is coming from . It’s selfish and puts a heavy burden on that other person.

If we don't need anyone then why have any relationships at all? Cut the shit dude

My life was changed when I stopped approaching life thinking, "I just want a woman. Any woman." When I stopped myself and instead said, "God send me the woman you have set out for me. In your time, according to your will. In Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen." One is desperation and the other is acceptance...

Wise as always Mr. Duane thanks for sharing!

Great word of wisdom! Thank you

Dwayne have you done a video on the feeling of loneliness but not actually being alone. What i mean is having lots of people around you but you still feel alone. Since it's something i'd like to learn about for personal experiences. Thank you and this is an amazing video have a nice day and god bless. :)

Yep. I will say though that imo a private business that doesn't accept government money has the right to have whatever rules they choose. Mask to enter? Fine. I won't be going through the door, but that's my choice. Kinda like no shirt, shoes, no service. My issue is when government makes mandates about my health, ability to travel, especially not based on facts/science. Personal responsibility seems to be falling by the wayside. When I decide not to mask up, that's on me and if there was truly a deadly disease killing 90% exposed that I ignore, it's probably better for everyone if I'm out of the gene pool.

It's a bullshit cope. People need each other. Otherwise relationships would not exist period. This is just pseudo stoic cowboy horseshit. For this guy to say "he does not need his wife" well why tf did he get married? Lol marriage is a damn headache. So for someone who doesn't "need" his wife, he sure signed his life away to misery.

Thank you. This came at a perfect time.

Thanks, I really needed to hear this and this perspective off all of it. I am going through a tough breakup. And now I look at it differently. Thank you.

Great video as always, the only thing I have to say is that the message from flight attendants prior to taking off is to put YOUR mask on first before helping others, and I actually think that’s a better metaphor for Dewayne’s message, before you can genuinely and authentically be there for someone else, you have to be ok in and of yourself.
