/lit/ - Literature

Hey /lit/ does anyone remember, Gander the goose from Animal Farm? Can't seem to find info on his character anywhere online

One thing we can discern as fact is that souls or 'the self' is unique. That is its defining trait. So, then, our bodies on the other hand aren't really unique, and can and will be replicated, given time. The genetic code, not the memories built up from a lifetime of experience.

So then, it brings me to my internal question of: If souls are truly unique, what purpose is there in the creation of a soul, only for it to remain int he world for a few decades before being effectively extinguished, as we know it? What use is there in that?

I'm trying to think of it from a pragmatic perspective. From an evolutionary perspective, is uniqueness something that's highly valuable? Or is it rather reliability, and the replication of such a trait expressing reliability. Survival mechanism is something built into every living being, it's primary purpose is to sustain itself until more of its 'kind' can be made. But why? If we're all doomed, why make more of ourselves in the first place?

>tfw digital painter making cool 25k/year catering to neckbeards by drawing badass dudes in armor and dragons and shit
>comfy side job of working in a bookstore part-time making 15k/year

through the bookstore I've met 2 good IRL friends and we hang out every now and then, through the digital art I've met 40ish people who I'd consider worthy enough to hang out with, and I have a discord I visit once or twice a week full of other professional artists and writers and we talk about the industry, our porjects, potential collabs etc.

my only advice to you is find out what you like to do and make a life out of it, it's your kickstarter to a new life

Agreed. The ultimate goal in life is to struggle.

Through struggle, our personal meaning is defined to us.
