My interpretation of The Epic of Gilgamesh

>Gilgamesh got cucked by Gods
>Gods used Gilgamesh for their own mysterious ends, after he served his purpose they threw him and his aspirations away like used condoms >Gods themselves are vain and don't know how to make proper decisions because they're also conditioned by fate
>You shouldn't trust middle mangers with their empty consolations, crazy myths and mind numbing wine
>Beware of roasties and sex for they can turn a happy Enkidu into a miserable scum and sour thumb of nature and a civilizational cuckold
>Gilgamesh didn't overcome death, his disappointment was boundless and accepted the normalfags copes
>Gods are tricksters, the serpent was their plant. So don't fucking trust them.

The most important lesson
>Life is utterly futile and is filled consistent suffering, misfortune and death.
