WHAT THINK YOU I TAKE MY PEN IN HAND?

What think you I take my pen in hand to record?
The battle-ship, perfect-model'd, majestic, that I saw pass the offing to-day under full sail?
The splendors of the past day? or the splendor of the night that envelops me?
Or the vaunted glory and growth of the great city spread around me?—no;
But merely of two simple men I saw to-day on the pier in the midst of the crowd, parting the parting of dear friends,
The one to remain hung on the other's neck and passionately kiss'd him,
While the one to depart tightly prest the one to remain in his arms.

Have any philosophers written about trauma? Not really looking for cope, but more perspectives on suffering of that kind.

Are there any well paying /lit/ careers that aren’t being an author?

I remember saying this in highschool to a couple of classmates who would say swag in every other sentence, and they had no idea what that meant.
They're probably successful businessmen, and engineers with loving families, while I'm a 26 year old unemployed virgin who still lives with his parents.

Anons, my parents have been bothering me lately wanting me to explain them why is greek philosophy important to life. They have programmed a 5 day week where i explain them the vital importance of greek philosophers. Now my problem is that i told them i was reading them but instead i was reading Deleuze and Spinoza like a boss.
What short greek works can i read in the span of a few days that will prepare to give them a lesson in Greek thought? it needs to be as close as self help as possible so be nice please. And thank you in advance.

Forklift driver, basically listen to podcasts/music all day then read before bed.

Any /lit/ approved podcasts on spot-if-eye?

I’m tired of all these philosophy threads, they’re making my brain hurt.

>tfw you'll never be friend with Huysmans, Redillon and Mallarmé, laughing at the young Paul Valery behind his back

>you'll never read François Villon's "Le roman du pet du diable" (the novel of the devil's fart)
why even live if i can't read a book about the farting devil written by the greatest French author of 15th century?
