/lit/ - Literature

>>21323276
It's a hard pill to swallow, I envy people who can spit it back out and live blissfully. Personally I read ancient letters as a coping mechanism. The more I read about how horrible some people's lives were in the past, the less bad I feel about the meaninglessness of my life. Just some time ago I read one of Seneca's letters about how a spartan child bashed his head into the wall to kill himself after being captured, preferring to die free than to live in bondage. That boy is a greater man than me who willingly chose to live in the safety of a cage from fear of the non-existence that follows death.

I remember he was pretty big last time I checked this board.

Isolation
Anchoring
Sublimation
Distraction

Peter Wessel Zapffe is right about everything. Humanity should have ceased with The Last Messiah.

How will /lit/ ever recover?
