I'm pretty sure >tfw no gf posting is just venting. No one expects shouting this into the void on 4chan of all places will actually do anything. Even this post is useless and serves no purposes other than to trump my current boredom before I go to sleep!

>So why are people STILL reading him?
Because he has been codified in the canon of English literature??? This is like asking durrr, why do people still read Homer even though no one believes this shit anymore

>You simply don't have enough time or energy to give all of French AND Russian AND Italian AND German their due diligence
Ever heard of time management?

Now I shall join the Foreign Legion and die for France overseas

Ι am sorry, but I decided to concentrate on modern Greek and next year I'll start with ancient Greek. Again, I am sorry.

I really am insanely annoyed.

Basically, your mother is apart of yourself until you're about 2, from the psychological perspective.

If you fail to reconcile the "bad" mother and the "good" mother images that are kept split and separate until about 2, then you're stuck in a loop trying to reconcile the two paradoxical elements. Normal, healthy people develop nuanced conceptions of other people as sometimes good, sometimes bad, mostly good, mostly bad, etc. Narcissists literally can't do that. You're either all good or all evil, and how they see you shifts depending on their emotional state (just like a baby).

The people who are into these weird ass fetishes are simply trying to construct fantasy environments in which they might transform the threatening, all bad mother image into a situation where the inner child can confront the inner mother. Sexuality is usually the chosen mode of approach because it's 100% embracing and accepting. There's no possibility of rejection when someone is interacting with you specifically for the purpose of sexually gratifying you.

Charles Peirce btfo that argument by delving into the phenomenology of transliteration across senses.

For example, the color scarlet is alike to the blare of a trumpet. Why does this statement make sense? The two senses are incommensurate, and share no corresponding qualitative information, but it's certainly apt to describe blue as a cool color whereas red is a hot one.

describe a book you want to read and get a recommendation
