because reality is incapable of measuring up. i am stuck in the squalid trivial cage of reality and all my existence is seeing how meaningful things outside are

an essential aspect of nature seems to be that existence dirties the ideal, art is unencumbered by this ugliness since its depictions dont exist

meditations

but unironically, the bible

i used to be like you

then i had an ecclesiastical crisis and realized how pointless and impotent human order, rationality and utilitarianism is and how they only engage the least essential part of consciousness

the only things that seem meaningful to me anymore are the divine and the aesthetic, but the aesthetic only by proxy of its connection to divinity

textbooks and tuts only mire in the least profound way with the rational and physical

the bible and philosophy are the only books that even pretend towards anything more, and parables are their vehicle
