I want to volunteer!

I have just found God in my life after waking up from a nightmare with dreadful thoughts in my head and it was quite the moment. I took my journal and wanted to write a poem about it but I realized I am not articulate enough, so I will have to finish the poem over the next few days. It's a really cool feeling guys, I understand a lot of things now.

>The real way to even out things like college admissions and hiring and shit is to provide high quality education and infrastructure, decriminalize non-violent drug offenses, trying to level the playing field for people regardless of the quality of the community they grew up in.
You love to hear it. It's said that relative (NOT absolute, for the conservatives watching) wealth inequality is one of the prime factors leading to adolescent embrace of crime. Addressing that is praxis I can personally get behind. Just look at the outrage against gentrification, for example. White liberals have no connection to black culture so I suspect the argument of "preservation" is just a rhetorical device. The real issue is reflected in the fact that the intrusion of wealth and affluence into otherwise poor areas quickly leads to envy and feelings of inferiority (re Kaczynski and Nietzsche) and thus increased crime rates. If wealth were to be anonymously redistributed to poorer areas in some manner there would presumably be a decrease in crime and subsequently an increase of living standard, and increased productivity and civil unity as a result.

no worries ahahah i got u
>ppl would tell me im a genetic failure
disregard demoralizers, if you think an anon poster could know enough about you from a 4chin post to deduce how your life's gonna end up then idk what to tell you. just isn't the case, people aren't easily reducible like that.

you seem to have the drive to read seeing as how much you despair at not being able to remember things. i don't think your issue is so much with your memory as it is about doubting yourself. it's unreasonable to worry about genetics when you don't even know your limits. shoot for the moon and land among the stars, go 4 it bro

Learn about metre fren, one foot here, another foot there, what is a foot to who and when?

Prosody. Get a book on poetry, compare classical poetry with modern English poetry or whatever your language is. If you are English, just nail your recognition of iambic pentameter as that's the one Shakespeare wrote most in and is the most popular in English, a lot of good other writers in that such as Rudyard Kipling, and his Legend of Mirth is great as well. It's also very easy to read. If you can find it, though it may be a bit difficult, try to find T.S. Eliot's introduction to a collection of Pound's non-Cantos works.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE MEDIUM, THERE IS NO POINT IN SPECIFYING "ARTWORK" AS DIFFERENT FROM MEDIUM IN THIS SENTENCE, SINCE THE MEDIUM IS DEFINED BY ITS GREATEST ARTWORK.

Thank you for listening anon.

>My local library is haunted and gives me bad vibes though :(
As Jung says, when one utters a thought it loses all effect on us. The ghost loses effect when we utter it, so utter it, or challenge it, accept it and move it, wherein you will be moved by it; and this is dangerous.

Good luck anon.

>why are the creative images for men female
Gee, I wonder.

You will find an easy answer if you look into the mind even just for a bit. Start with Jung, the anima is the creative for man, and no artist can go without a dominant feminine streak, as he does masculine.

You're a teenager, yes? It's a good film, entertaining and moving, but you should know you will mature and find better works. And much of this film is made in such a way that one can feel like a genius themselves when watching it, some element of a pseud in it.

But yeah it's still a good movie.

>Does evolution theory refute religion?
Lmao no. You'd have to be a brainlet to believe that.
