I'll give you a simple answer my man. Read or listen to Aurelius meditations, and if you enjoy it try out his other works, he's a great place to start. Good luck on your journey ^_^

litfags like being pretentiously angry when finishing any book, after downing a glass of wine in their turtleneck and calling everyone who doesn't agree with them a redditor. then walking upstairs to kiss mom on the cheek before bedtime.

LAUS DEO!

Laus Deo!
I've made it all work
I've took sharp cracks from the whip
Of my greatest tutor
But this is what I did it for!

Im swelling with pride
Tingle little flutters to my toe
Like kisses to my lovers cheek
I flush red then died

I gasp for air
This achievement makes
One of the happiest deaths to die

Everywhere I turn, I see some fake
No not man enough to look upon his face
And when I see the crowds in sea
I see what was once the free

I hate all the grey
Every bit of it, but I see it all
Almost no color to live in

This spin has made me dizzy
Was it the world that's making me?
And oh my head, so large and fully
I cannot comprehend,
Some things in life, are so strange so silly

Sometimes I like to think of me my only friend
That another kind of me, is there, he understands
I imagine he's got some wise words,
and a some kind of twinkle in his eyes
He walks the same shoe as me
He watches the same skies


Everywhere I turn, I see some fake
No not man enough to look upon his face
And when I see the crowds in sea
I see what was once the free

But when I look at the mirror
All I see is me

Perks of Being a Wallflower

[Tried to kill himself, had an anxiety attack and blacked out in the hospital]

[Then he find out he was molested by his Aunt, who died getting his Christmas present]

That book fucked me up in some sort of way of relief, it left me not wanting to talk for a week. I know the book is considered YA, but it really shouldn't. Because it should be taken more seriously, but the movie fans and teenage girls fucked that up; movie was done well though.

Oops it's another angry atheist how original

I met an old man
He scratched his head, he had a lumpy cranium
He spitted when he talked
He opened his mouth when he chewed
Much like a child
I thought he was two

His pack was heavy
When he carried he squirmed
Pull out his cup
And begged me for money
Now I am not one to disappoint
Sure I had the money
But I knew a joke so sweet
I tossed in a coin
A 1 cent penny
The distraught look on his face
But he laughed in tears
When I told him "Dont spend this all in one place"

Of course I give the charity
So I handed dollars of money
And as I walked off
I heard him speak chokly
His squally voice called
"God bless you, buddy!"

it's a meme you dip

reporting in

I wait for someone like you, to inspire me and to be an inspirer for you. I like you my muse. Your short hair and blue eyes, no matter there color, they both see same things, and I'll always see past them

You can accept what you want out of philosophy, its not your instruction to life and its not a guide to YOUR life,

This is the way I see it

We live to be as full as possible, we are never complete. So your life has to be centered on doing as much, and achieving as much as you can Carpe Diem. Every day you wake up find new purpose and be optimistic. You can always learn more, and achieve more no matter your age. Because frankly, in 60 years you'll be dead, and in 100 years you'll be forgotten. But notice, Alexander the Great, Plato, David Bowie, Robin Williams, Shakespeare, Mozart, ZYZZ, they all did extraordinary things. We wont forget them, simply cause of that.

But to find the key to happiness, is to accept first, that you're a nobody. Like 98% of the world, you are an insignificant, and you should love it, and you should strive to evolve out of it.

But then again, this is my philosophy. If you were a real thinker, you'd think about what's fact and opinion, before accepting Nihilism as a guide. It is only a philosophy, you take what you WANT from it
