You both assume I have achieved happiness at some point in the past, and am seeking to get more novel joys and pleasures from life. I have worked my whole life to be good and to do the right things - getting good grades, being nice to people, working hard the way men are supposed to, spending time with family and friends because that's the right thing to do. I avoided inappropriate relationships and other vices, and tried to do everything right. As the years have passed, and I have gotten closer to 30, it has become apparent that no amount of good or right actions leads to any measure of happiness.

I wish for nothing more than death. The only reason I have not opened my wrists, is because I fear having to answer for my actions in front of the Almighty.
>Hey OP, want to live with a constant state of purpose? Become a heroin addict.
Have unironically considered doing that. There is a part of town I used to work some years ago where all the addicts tend to congregate. Once or twice, some of the young girls who hanged there would ask me to hang around - presumably because they wanted some money for dope, but I liked to think they genuinely wanted me for company. Some days, walking to the office, I would seriously consider stopping by them. Even today, I still sometimes wonder if it would be so bad.

It is average among all but the worst shitholes of sexual degeneracy and whoredom. Marriage is better than living like a wild animal, copulating with anyone who is willing

Don't blame my thread, I just wanted book recommendations for a young man who feels like shit. Many young men feel like shit, not my fault that random incels came here to complain about "holes" and height

after having been antinatalist and suicidally depressed from age 9, i have found myself in a relationship and am about to get married at 26. my fiancee is a good, healthy girl with dreams of children, yet i am scared of falling back into my old ways and ending it all. i think my greatest fear is to commit suicide after bringing children into the world and leaving them fatherless. i may have been wrong to find love, and i should maybe kill myself sooner rather than later

I am a virgin, a law student, and a fairly well known and liked member of my community. In a few weeks time, I will marry a sweet, kind, pretty girl who loves me. By all accounts, my life in the coming decades will be good, full of love, and a life many would kill to have. Still, I am struggling hard to convince myself not to an hero. Please recommend me /lit/ that helps one appreciate life, rather than seeing it as a painful and annoying burden. I have held my shit together for a long time, but I'm losing my grip, bros.

Bros, I don't know where to start. I don't feel like a man, or even a worthwhile human. I am unfit, slow, and feel bad all the time. I have 2 months to either make it, or give it all up. That is when I will meet my long distance gf for the first time, and I don't want to be a worthless slob when I do. I don't want to give up. Please help me, and post something to help me become a man.

guys, im in serious need of some help here. after 26 years of self sabotage and waste, im at a crossroads. for as long as i can remember, i have squandered all potential for a good or happy life. i have delayed and put off my education, despite having a spot in the best university in my country. i have let my body decay from junk food and other poisons. i have slowly built up addictions that will one day break me. i have broken bonds with family and friends. and i have done all of this with an underlying desire to eventually an hero.

by all accounts, i should already be too far gone. but by some strange twist of fate, God has seen fit to send a girl to me, and im unsure of what to do now. she is 21, religious and proper, kind and gentle, and for some strange reason, she thinks im great. she wants to live with me, marry, and have children. all my life, i have been heading down a road in stark contrast to what she is now offering. and i dont know if i have what it takes to join her on this path. every time i entertain the thought, i can feel self loathing settle down on me like a physical weight. i am fearful and weak.

please recommend me some /lit/ that can help a broken, self hating moron to turn things around and choose life

>If there is no God, if there is no Judgement Day, if there is no divine justice after death, then there is ultimately no reason to care about anything at all
For some men, this realization makes them want to indulge in life and pleasure, and to live like a hedonistic animal. For some, it makes them lose the will to live at all, in the knowledge that even pleasure is meaningless.

Any /lit/ on this loss of faith? How does one justify living when living is meaningless?

Are there any books that will make me think life is worth living? Thx

I heard Plant is kind of a recluse nowadays. I'm not sure off hand, but I'm not sure she's published anything in quite a while. Is she done with academia and just enjoying life or what's going on there?

Free will doesn't exist. Christianity is a joke.

Any interest in literature really OP.

What'll happen is you'll come here, not understand anything, shit on immensely when you talk about anything outside the norm, post a thread like this, and begin reading high-brow /lit/.

And thus the circle will continue, and /lit/ will remain full of elitist patricians calling everybody else plebby and hating themselves.

The way God intended.

I will wear my condom rolled.
