This is the natural state within an indutrial society; this isn't to say people weren't bitter and angry before the late XVIII, but it is the permenant condition of modern man. As Baudelaire decribed modernity - the fleeting, ephemeral experience of life in an urban metropolis.

I am tired.
It's not a lack of sleep.
It's not bad habits (I don't smoke, drink, etc.)
I am quite healthy in fact (I work out and such)
It's just modernité. He coined the term to and I quote "designate the fleeting, ephemeral experience of life in an urban metropolis, and the responsibility of artistic expression to capture that experience."
And it's exacty that...

What the OP is trying to say is that there exists a necessary being (i.e. God). The issue I see here is not a collapse of logic as a system, but the logic in this case is certainly collapsible.

The problem is that we can simplify this argument and discover that it is a non-argument. I will use a ~ to represent not, and B to represent being.
>B = ~~B
>Or a being is such that it cannot not be (double negation)

This is a tautology, but it doesn't get you anywhere as a result. Saying the word "being" is the same as saying "a being cannot not be" but this cannot advance the argument. There are just not enough propositions to demonstrate that this being is of the nature of God. What the OP has done is literally like postulating:
>1=/= 0
>Therefore God exists

No, you can't do that.

I can type onions just fine.

> Commander Keith Shadis: Do you know why average men can coast through their lives and die without accomplishing a damn thing?! It's because they lack imagination! Their whole lives for nothing! They're not ashamed of an existence that produces nothing but shit! Great deeds... can never be accomplished by ordinary men. I doubt those scraps of flesh would even understand half of what makes a deed great! Certainly a worthless individual who spends her life pouring drinks and cosying up to every man she sees would never understand! Not ever.

> Carla Jaeger: Do you really have to be special? Do you really need people's recognition? I don't think so. When it comes to my child... He doesn't need to become great. Why would he have to be better than anyone else? After all, just look at him... He's so cute. He's already great. Because he was... born into this world."

I loved this quote reassuring we all have value for the mere fact of life being invaluable.

Book recommendations for this vibe?

What book should I read to channel my inner Faustian Spirit and raise it to my conscience?

There are a very limited set of personality archetypes that characterize how people on this board percieve past and present writers,
and I think you should acknowledge them and
