Hey guys, following an advice from Schopenhauer I took a long break from /lit/ and reading:

>Therefore the mind is deprived of all its elasticity by much reading as is a spring when a weight is continually applied to it; and the surest way not to have thoughts of our own is for us at once to take up a book when we have a moment to spare. This practice is the reason why erudition makes most men more stupid and simple than they are by nature and also deprives their literary careers of every success. As Pope says, they remain: "For ever reading, never to be read".

and wondered if any of you are bored enough to tell me if something nice happened here recently and what are the latest trends. Cheers!

Ask her.
Come back with the answer

Ligotti:
>Some days we wake up and innocently say, “It’s good to be alive.” Broken down, this exclamation means that we are experiencing an acute sense of well-being. If everyone were in such elevated spirits all the time, the topic of LIFE, THE MEANING OF would never enter our minds or our philosophical reference books. But an ungrounded jubilation—or even a neutral reading on the monitor of our moods—must lapse, either intermittently or for the rest of our natural lives. Our consciousness, having snoozed awhile in the garden of incuriosity, is pricked by some thorn or other, perhaps DEATH, THE MEANING OF, or spontaneously modulates to a minor key due to the vagaries of our brain chemistry, the weather, or for causes not confirmable. Then the hunger returns for LIFE, THE MEANING OF, the emptiness must be filled again, the pursuit resumed.
Neetchan:
>For assuming that one is a person, one necessarily also has the philosophy that belongs to that person; but there is a big difference. In some it is their deprivations that philosophize; in others, their riches and strengths. The former need their philosophy, whether it be as a prop, a sedative, medicine, redemption, elevation, or self-alienation. For the latter it is merely a beautiful luxury-in the best cases, the voluptuousness of a triumphant gratitude that eventually still has to inscribe itself in cosmic letters on the heaven of concepts.

Okay, so all I have to do to finally end this terrible search is to feel good?

Books that pick up where Nietzsche left his project of overcoming décadence?

are you the original butterfly? your trip seems to match

mój cień jest kobietą
odkryłam to na ścianie
on się uśmiechał falistością linii
i ptak bioder o zwiniętych skrzydłach
na gałęzi uśmiechu śpiewał


drzewo kwitnące
obwieszone zielonymi papugami
poprzez skrzydła
pomarańcza złota dojrzałość
słońce na kroplach połyska
w deszczu
proste i nagie drzewo
moje usta uchylone piersi

wschodzący księżyc rzęs zamigotał
i zgasł
gdy zdmuchnąłeś zapałki płomień
i oparłeś na ramionach moich dłonie
mój cień był kobietą
nim zniknął
