Sometimes I just really don't see the point guys. I'm trying my best to make good use of my time but I feel so dissatisfied and unmotivated a lot of the time. What are some good books to get me out of this funk?
>inb4 the Bible
I swear I'm so tired of the fucking Bible shills on this board.

"A drag queen!?" it shreaked. The banshee glared at him with venom and the atmosphere turned as hard as stone. "A drag queen!?" it shreaked once more. He felt a sharp manicured nail, as long as a letter opener, placed gently, mockingly, against his jugular. He heard war drums in the distance and the shouting of the jeering crowd. He saw the glint of the blade high above him, ready to fall. He saw himself hanging from a rope. He was as good as finished. He thought of his future, his wife and children one last time, and in his mind's eye he could see himself no more. Heresy could not be tolerated. He thought of the future and he knew that he was no longer a part of it. He knew that his name had been stripped from the Book of Life and stamped mercilessly in the Book of Death. His life had no meaning anymore. He had become death. "I am the Queen of Drag!" it said with malice, knowing what terror it caused with this threat of liquidation. He swallowed hard, soaked throat with sweat, and knew that it wasn't his world any longer. He wasn't quite sure whose it was now.

Everyone inside the State is sealed off from the true goods of life. You could honestly look at BNW as a retelling of the Grand Inquisitor. I wouldn't want to live there. Surely every life-long coomer knows that orgasms on tap don't equal happiness.

Maritain didn't deny that we could receive knowledge by mysticism. What he criticised in Guenon was that despite his condemnation of gnosticism (conceived narrowly as the 2nd century heresy), he fell into the error of gnosticism (conceived more broadly as the entire esoteric tradition), in which a spiritual elite escapes the profane world through knowledge while the rest of humanity suffers under the totalitarianism of a Hindu theocracy of the kind advocated by the Traditionalists.

>Only documented approach of a Woman in Autobiography
>One time, as I was walking across the huge bridge that connected the two campuses, I passed by a girl I thought was pretty and said “Hi” as we neared each other. She kept on walking and didn’t even have the grace to respond to me. How dare she! That foul bitch. I felt so humiliated that I went to one of the school bathrooms, locked myself in a toilet stall, and cried for an hour.
