Life is a bitch
and death is her sister
sleep is the cousin
what a fucking family picture.

Why is it that when I ask people to say something intelligent, they instantly resort to "ironically" posting stupid things?

Everything we do is for the purpose of altering consciousness. We form friendships so that we can feel certain emotions, like love, and avoid others, like loneliness. We eat specific foods to enjoy their fleeting presence on our tongues. We read for the pleasure of thinking another person’s thoughts. Every waking moment—and even in our dreams—we struggle to direct the flow of sensation, emotion, and cognition toward states of consciousness that we value.

Drugs are another means toward this end.

I've always found this Schopie passage particularly brutal

>using quote as a noun

It's become a noun, there's nothing wrong with using contemporary words.

I know very well that I would. I can ascertain that there should be thus my demise to come. Oh what shall you worry about death when it be inevitable? Why ponder upon the intransigent, those that are so far-fetched that they only come when they need be.

It may come thus as natural cause or an accident, or a malady. An individual knows not. What I know however, is the achievements one should acquire before their to be deceased.

I don’t care what your beliefs are, whether it be Christian existentialism, nihilism, radical existentialism, ontology etc. One’s life can only so be menial ahowl if there is no progress to it, no impact as to be facile and devoid of meaning.

But the point is no life is meaningless, I cannot therefore aver that, people would ever should feel regret or penitence for their demise afterwards. For that we say life is always meaningful for everyone thus, it is ameliorated by meaning of death. Demise is what makes life valid and expressive, so filled with meaning thus. Our progression and thoroughfare through our contempt and struggles are what marks us to be great in the chief of our lives.

O! Do doth think we be of conjugal felicity, booming with alacrity if life were perpetual? I can avow that we cannot, as emotions do not function in a form such that we feel a certain sorrow or dread equally as the former of its effect did we.

We would start to therefore feel numb, feel empty, insufferable emptiness and adroit. There is no point in thus, therefore, in death the conclusion, I end in so that it may be seen as a degree of forlorn of dejection. But certainly nothing to say about it but being something foreseen as inevitable.

>“Struggle is the father of all things. It is not by the principles of humanity that man lives or is able to preserve himself above the animal world, but solely by means of the most brutal struggle.”

Why should you die to go to heaven? The Earth is already in space.

Scared off getting insulted because it would imply they're stupid.

Are you being ironic?

When reason fails, the devil helps!

Believe it or not, only a few of us have read IJ. Fewer still took its message to heart.

>>10333103
The fact that you say such a statement should be obvious proves the quote isn't smart though.

>>10333013
Why's that wrong? I see no problem using quote as a noun.

Life is pain. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you something.

>Virtue, without which terror is destructive; terror, without which virtue is impotent. Terror is only justice prompt, severe and inflexible; it is then an emanation of virtue.

Selling me the eternal beauty of Jesus :D
What about indulgences were you saying though

In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the *new*. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends.

Am I look at some extreme post-modernistic satirical irony or did you just forget to reply to someone

>“The real nightmare, worse than the one in which the Big Machine wants to kill you, is the one in which it sees you as irrelevant, or not even as a discrete thing to know.”
