>writing up a storm
>major progress on my novel
>it's some of my best work
>life feels lighter than air
>can't sleep due to excitement of continuing

>wake up
>no desire to write
>can't remember those ideas I had
>reread what I wrote the night before
>it just looks clunky and evokes nothing when i read it
>writing just feels like an effort now

how do you maintain the spark? or do you just have to be ready to dive into writing when it hits you and not stop till you're spent

If you really follow it's line of thought long enough you'll see how it is a massive slap in the face to a lot of morality and conventional thinking people have, I don't mean on a surface level but in implementation. What makes it even more radical is that this final implementation ISN'T in itself radical or ludicrous in any way, if anything it might make a person boring or slow going. That is where it's power lies.

It's like there's a raging river with a huge deadly waterfall at the end and people have all kinds of different ways to justify why they are pushing against the river. They see some people, the ascetics, step out of the river and consider them quitters. Surely I'm doing it right, it's better to struggle than do nothing at all, we will all fall in eventually! Then comes the Daoist laying on his back humming a song while going with the current, he falls of the waterfall then pops back up on the other side of the river and starts going down again.

Pic semi related, such a great effort put into someone that can't practice Wu-Wei. At best we can play the sour grapes game and say Taoist practice doesn't work in reality. It's fucking cheating, pls nerf.

How can people be amazed and mystified by just living?

Does "I ex myself from your little world" have a meaning? English is not my first language and I (think) heard in a song and I don't know what it really means. "ex" used in that way is new to me

Why do I feel like if the whole tumblr's social justice is a shady 1984 thing?

Nevermind that, I'm fucking tired already.

How so? Do you find them unappealing or do you find the idea of their appeal disgusting?

"When a man knows he is about to die, he will show his true face to the world. The best indicator of one's personality, values, and true self is what they do and say when confronted with their own death."

True or false?

Lets assume that the universe is deterministic and free will is nothing more than an illusion
Would this make things such as freedom and liberty moot, since they are built upon the basis of free will and the ability to "choose"?

Does travelling build character?
