Human spirit thrives on conflict. It is what drives us forward into ecstasy and ruin. Life without conflict is boring and depressing. We do not fight out of hate, but of love.

Except GRRM, that guy is a fucking hack.

Here is what is going to happen:
You will tell yourself that this time you are going to turn your life around. You are going to start working out, you are going to make a real effort get a better job, you are going to read all those dumb books you bought last year and you are going to find that [insert ideal chunk of meat you lust for]. Because this time its for real and you are super serious unlike the all the failed previous attempts. And you are going to be super passionate about it, your goals are now your life, no you are not going to have those donuts, no you are not going scroll facebook or 4chan for six hours everyday, no more video-games! You are going to put your nose to the grindstone because you have grit dammit!

Yes! From now on you are going to make it for the rest of your whole... sixty days. Your burning enthusiasm to is going to last less than a quarter of the year because its been sixty days and literally nothing has happened at all. Then slowly, almost imperceptibly something will occur your synapses, inevitably you are going to revert to the primordial slime that you were always meant to be. Its going to start with something innocuous like missing a single workout and down the slippery slope you go. When you finally come back to your senses and catch yourself doing it, its going to be December anew.

Just save yourself the grief and kill yourself. Life is never going to be better than it is right now and until you understand that then you have no hope.

Why the HELL would that title be translated "Atomised"?

>As is The Tombs of Atuan, Tehanu is written from a female perspective. The novel makes clear that women's magic is as strong as men's, the former being described by the witch Moss as being "deeper than the roots of trees, deeper than the roots of islands, older than the Making, older than the moon". Although it is less concerned with authority and dramatic action than male power, it is equally valuable. Wizards are portrayed as emotionally stunted, arrogant and detached. It is made explicit that wizards lead a life of celibacy to devote all their energy to their magic. These shortcomings are laid bare in Ged after he has lost his power. He is completely at sea and is described by Moss as having the emotions of a fifteen-year-old boy. He does not have the courage to face the King's men to tell them he can no longer be mage, and flees. He relies on Tenar to work out a solution for him, and find somewhere for him to recover his sense of identity. It is only when he acknowledges his feelings for her and enters into a relationship with her that he begins to develop emotionally. Thus although he has lost his power as an archmage, Ged is reborn by deferring to female power, and so discovers his own feelings and the value of simplicity. In so doing he reaches a new maturity and depth to his character, not available to him as Archmage. The dark wizard Aspen is portrayed negatively; his loathing of Tenar is plainly based on hatred and fear of her womanhood.

I don't think anything has ever been so retroactively ruined for me as Le Guin has ruined Earthsea, in general.

Can /lit/ be as toxic as other boards? I thought this was my one refuge on the internet for halfway decent book suggestions and no racism, but it seems that this is changing.

Yet people claiming doing the same comes to the opposite conclusion. Funny how perspectives work. But yeah, you're probably right, Peterson is JUST overreacting and JUST has no understanding. Dichotomies are just cool as fug

You can place any hedonistic pleasure in the same group of distractions; do not condemn it but understand that love and sex is the most ideological consumptious of them all.

Everyone is addicted to love because everyone has been exposed to it; and everyone is constantly going through withdrawal. Always yearning, never passing an opportunity to love.
