If you could take all the books you've ever read in your life and sum it up into one concise life lesson, what would it say /lit/?

There are no lessons in life, only experiences. Reading is just one experience among others, that has the great advantage of making you safely experience things you couldn't on your own, and the great weakness that none of those experience are comparable in intensity, confusion and sheer mess of details to the real thing.

Those who experience the greatest suffering recognize the greatest good. They are pushed into a clear view of the chaos and they draw the conclusion if the world was willing to push them down so far and ignore their suffering then suffering is something that will never end for those who are willing to be human and susceptible to emotional depth.
Because those who don't feel don't suffer. Suffering is the virtue of real man, not man pretending to be a fantasy.
Only those who care suffer, those who satisfy themselves do not.

People in the modern world, though very technically sophisticated, lack a purpose or a meaning beyond them, many are left in a world they believe they have no destiny or place in; and it is this void within people that has caused cultural, spiritual and moral crises across the western world, the modern man has become complacent in his own downfall.
