Sanshiro is a good book for young men to read imo.

faith in christianity but still think life's roots lie in suffering/bliss/pleasure/pain, I nearly have a anti-natalist attitude yet i still see the faith in life. Death drives us and people dictate our-lives, when we fate comes I can only see that my soul joins the everything metaphysical,so to speak joins the pantheistic god, or we just, you know, die, a long nights sleep but without the dictation of "time" in long, the sentimental comfiness of "sleep", just ultimately we become an oblivious timeless drift. I still try to improve myself in every-way, I live by christian morals hopefully I achieve an epiphany to reach salvation.

I can't cope with the fact that being a author/poet in the future will be inconceivable, like seriously do you guys actually see a good literary world in the future? I don't think literature will die out ever but to be the symbolic "artist" in the future is pretty much done for, you either write genre fiction or hardcore books for academia that only reach to hardcore academics and even then if you write some type of modernist book or something of your own fashion that is truly a work of art, your book is going to have hard time selling if you have no connections and arent black/(minority). The world is going by too fast leaving nothing for the artist of each generation to paint on their canvases, media is getting shorter and shorter, and to be fair it took ME a dedicated reader a while to get off social media and take my love for literature seriously, I can't imgaine the addiction zoomers have now-a-days to social media/video games....An artform can never die, only the artist of it can, and I'm having a hard time thinking in the future of any "artist of literature. There are none and will be none, not the literature we all come to love.
