/lit/ - Literature

Does anyone else take small breaks between chapters? I always like to pause and think back on whatever it is I've read and theories a little before continuing.

Isn't inhibiting desire, a desire in and of it itself?

Is writing a novel from the perspective of a sapient alien without any humans whatsoever a good idea?

>According to Theravada Buddhism, sex is an act of transgression that entails expulsion from the monastic sangha
Isn't the point of a faith to have all people follow it. If everyone became a devout Theravada Buddhist, wouldn't all of humanity perish?
What a great religion Buddhism is.

I have a real life, dude. I have a gf and a job and friends and hobbies I am passionate about. You don’t have to believe me, I don’t really care. But I also believe that the unexamined life is not worth living. I don’t really know why you’re flinging all sorts of personal attacks at me just for having a discussion about spirituality on /lit/, but if it makes you feel better for whatever reason, have at it.

Question:
would losing my virginity somewhat meaninglessly make pursuing a girl I really want to care about easier/less complicated?
There's obviously some value in saving yourself in the interest of having the most rewarding and significant experience with someone you think is actually spiritually compatible, but I think having a sexual encounter would significantly reduce my unknown territory surrounding relationships and allow me to approach girls I actually find great value in with more confidence and hence improve my chances of making something out of it.
Thoughts?
