You just break up and start the process all over again, letting a little piece of yourself die each time, until you eventually become cold and dead inside.
At that point you've become a man.
Depends.
This is what happen to atheists who are unable to have faith in anything/anyone and who are simply told to fuck other people up to insure their own survival. Atheists have a great "magical" childhood being spoonfed and spoiled by their divorced parents and then growing up have a hard time realizing they re just powerless animals with very limited possibilities like all life forms on earth, reproducing subconsciously most of the time patterns they learnt from their own caregivers, and whose sole purpose everyday is to ...survive, facing the competition of other life forms. Believers dont have that problem as they re able to give a meaning to their existence, are more low profile/humble, able to be satisfied with what they have instead of always wanting more. Basically atheists grow up the wrong way while believers grow up the healthy -psychologically, spiritually speaking- way. Believers enjoy shaping a better world and are working on it through every single of their actions and thoughts while atheists willingly live in a "free for all" kind of lifestyle/mentality every single day.
This is why religion is important; it allows one to get better with age instead of getting more miserable. Being able to say "this is good, this is bad, I'm on that side of the fence" , being able everyday to place yourself in the grand scheme of thing is just fundamental for one's mental balance. Atheists think that all that matter is to dominate at all costs and that only this will insure their "hapiness". That life is absurd and it's only all about survival of the fittest/strongest. It's all good as long as they re in a position of power, it starts to get nasty whent hey lose that position of power for whatever reasons. Obviously when their strenghts start to disapear, melt over time, they re left with nothing else, as they developed no spirituality and global understanding of life, only a cynical view of the world that made them focus solely on themselves. As a result others dont care about them anymore, as they never cared about others anyway.
