/lit/ - Literature

I want a nice stable life where I make enough money to cover all my basic expenses and fund my hobbies. I want a traditional wife who realizes the vanity of modern society and can appreciate the finer things in life. I want to be at peace with myself and the world that has callously thrown me aside. I want to feel like I'm part of something greater than the misery I currently reside in. I want direction. Sadly, it seems like the biggest obstacle to all of this is myself. My own habits and thought patterns are insurmountable.

Thinking about religion. I really don't like the way the abrahamic faiths are so person centric and emotionally volatile. Most people just want quiet, prosperous lives and the semetic faiths seem to be the antithesis of this. They don't have any reference for nature, respect for ancestors, or a commitment to the future. No rootedness in the land or the people. I'm not a fascist and I hope I'm not coming across as one in this post, but people who aren't connected to their past don't really have a future; if nothing has been invested in you, you aren't likely to invest in others futures. I just wish we could back to a form of non cringy folk religion, kind of like Shintoism is treated in Japan. As an American, I'm not particularly connected to the land or any ethnic group so I don't know hoe this could be done here

Is a man a faggot for being spotted with a physical book in this day and age? Does anybody read anymore, period?
