Yeah well much is lost in translation

I can't stop thinking about how I have wronged people, and don't know if I can be redeemed. I am very depressed and might kill myself soon.

Raskolnikov is literally me. I'm not joking, this is a cry for help. How did Dostoyevsky accurately portray people like me?

Have there been any great authors with a low IQ? I keep trying to do IQ tests but I’m so retarded that I lose focus and just give up halfway through.

I want to believe with all my heart, soul and mind but I'm afraid I have totally refuted God and I'm scared to admit this to myself, I don't want to become an unbeliever. My argument refutes the theistic god, but leaves way for a deistic god.

My argument is as follows:
>God is goodness, thus everything that comes from God is good
>Suffering and feelings of despair is not good
>God created all beings
>God placed his creation within a world filled with suffering and despair
>Thus there's a logical inconsistency here


This is NOT the problem of Evil. Evil can only precede from consciousness beings making free willed decisions. Suffering and despair is something that's inherent to this world, evil necessarily isn't.

how do i get a non slut non retarded gf

Should I bother trying to go to grad school for philosophy/poli sci and hope to become a tenure professor in some small college town while publishing ethics books? How do I make it bros?

/lit just a brainlet looking for some advice. Every time I think about sitting down to write I get nervous that I'm going to produce a contrived and cliché piece. I've had people tell me that my work is good, but I look at things that I've written and I'm kind of ashamed of how much of a stereotype I am and how nothing that I write can be original or unique compared to anything that's been written before. I know this isn't good because writing isn't about other people, it's about you, but even then I can't get it out of my head that I'm just living in a cliché. Help /lit
