How could one man sculpt such beauty in words?

Quid facis?

They wouldn't be able to feel that lack of suffering; they needed to be born to experience the wish to not have been born.

>nobody really enjoys life. They just cope with it
Life is a trial. If you enjoy it, you're either happy and functional, about to fall, or deluded.

So people tend to be happy.

Or, alternatively, you can fix the problems in your life and attempt to make a change. Sometimes the life around you improves, but you're still stuck in a shitty rut due to your coping mechanisms, which spiral out of control. Things might not be so bad, but now you're addicted to drugs, alcohol, and gaming, which make a new world of problems. You're presenting this fatalistic world in which you MUST cope forever and this ALWAYS leads to dysfunction, which is utterly untrue, but growing in today's modern climate (ironic, given how we're supposed to be scientific and "happy" and "out of the dark ages of religion and toil" today).

White, college age atheists. Probably not vegans, either, even though "eating meat" and "killing animals" causes suffering. In fact, a whole lot of things in this world cause suffering, but they don't stop themselves from doing that because they're "sad boys who need to live the best lives they can after the traumatizing event of being born without their consent." Boo hoo. I think whites are like this because there are probably a lot of dysfunctional, unhappy, mentally ill white men out there today (workaholics, incels, forever alone). There are also a lot of asian anti-natalists, and you can take a guess as to why, but it shouldn't take long.

>I used to lie in bed for hours rubbing scissors over my throat...
And? I have frequent suicidal thoughts, too, but I don't act on them because I have something to live for.

>Suffering/Depression is caused by wrong expectations about existence
Reduce your expectations, then, and you won't be disappointed forever.

>We are constantly fed advertisements/instagram/vlogs about how great life COULD be, so ...
Live in the real world

>Women are evolutionarily designed to feel disgust at getting pregnant
Women are evolutionarily designed to be attached to their children. The only reason this is abated is because several (in particular, easy) women are wantons who down birth control pills and other such shit. The modern diet of fast food and StarBucks and such probably doesn't help with balancing their bodies and hormones, either

>What's hilarious is that AN's seem to have only an issue with whites making kids
The nose knows

>There was actually a reddit threat where they discussed a "big red button" that would eradicate all life and how they would press it.
Yes, I've browsed and seen such posts a gazillion times. Seems like they have insane power fantasies. It's like /pol/lacks saying "Day of the Rope soon," which, of course, never happens. "Red Button soon"

I see you were born with the utilitarian defect. How unfortunate. Must be deplorable being Chinese or A*glo.

What's a good dark and disturbing novel?

then why do we have these collective myths, if they do not reflect the greater symbols that exist.

look at it like math. is math invented, no, it is discovered that principals already exist. it is same with the underlying myths. they are encoded here as the actual reflection of above.

Women were chattel then, so who cared?
