I've many times wanted to travel somewhere with no money. People say its good for you when you're young

>>14848168
Help those less fortunate then you.

You, like those people, are very, very stupid.

>>14848208
goddamnit not like that. But you know, go somewhere cheap, somewhere you can live and work for a little while. Maybe Thailand because it's so different, there's a lot of people from my country living ilegally in Ireland.

>>14848215
Ergo you would have money, ergo you're saying two different things at once.
>s-stop being pedantic you know what I meant
I did, and it's still stupid. It's no sort of character building exercise to bum around. It's a less severely stupid version of the example I posted, and on the same continuum with it.

>>14848231
well, money for travel only, that's the idea. The reason I don't do it is because I don't even have that money right now.
>I did, and it's still stupid
Interesting, did you go by yourself? couldn't you find work there, or were you just not interested in it?

publicly humiliate yourself, commit a crime, allow your health to deteriorate

Stop trying to shoehorn in an ad-hom. The central point is that it's always better to have money than not.

You're going to die in a few months

Sheltered lifestyle is suffering.
>t. have been NEET since university graduation

>>14848331
ok, could have just said that then, i also expressed myself badly. LITTLE money then.

>>14848380
I never graduated and am currently living at home doing nothing, sometimes i feel like an aristocrat, sometimes like a vagabond. I hope this thread is not too r9k-ish btw.

>>14848374
Surely I won't, some anons are giving good advice, like the go help other people guy.

Something like committing a crime is silly. I can't imagine the suffering of doing something terrible with the sole purpose of suffering afterwards will teach you anything, except not to do THAT again, stupid.

>>14848168
Post more feet

>>14848374
or come out the other side a different man

>>14848414
I used to LARP as an aristocrat too at my parents after graduating. Sat around and read.

change your lifestyle

Imagine the smell

I'll trade you lives

Give all your money to me and start over, with nothing, as a homeless dude. From there, you build yourself up, learning skills and working hard, and that's how you build character and learn a crazy amount about the world.

I've already done it. Started by taking on a job shoveling horse shit at a farm in exchange for rent, and worked part time till I could afford a car, which I lived in. I learned a crazy amount about work and the poor in general, and now have the greatest possible disdain for homeless druggies. It wasn't impossible to get back on my feet. It just took some discomfort and enough work to teach me what the meaning of exhaustion actually was.

So just reply to me and I'll post more about myself so you can give me all your money and start over. I want you to understand that it would go to much better use coming to me right now than being in your hands. I've just shifted to part time from 60 hours per week, and live in my truck by choice. When I was working 50 hours per week, I wrote poetry and produced two chapbooks that I put on Amazon. One has a 4.8 star rating, the other has a 4.5 star rating. I need the money to help me stop working or at least to give me a cushion so that my family will stop worrying sick about me. I already work a total of 60 plus hours per week minimum between work and writing, and I would be able to write like a fucking factory if I somehow didn't have to work.

Your money, I'm sure you're convinced even without my post, isn't doing a whole lot of good right now. But if you give it to me, you'll be supporting an artistic renaissance. I write poetry that is both aesthetic and meaningful, and some people consider it deeply psychological. Do some good with yourself and give me everything so you can start from scratch and I can accomplish some good here.

Suffering does not always cause growth. A lot of the time it just makes people bitter and unpleasant.

I’ve thought about this a lot before OP. I feel similarly. I think for those of us who are so coddled and pampered (while deprived of anything actually worthwhile) in the modern world, it has to be a radical embrace of struggle. You have to come to hate comfort itself and turn away from it in utter disgust and turn towards hardship. You’ve got to give yourself no choice but to struggle. Actually doing it is the hard part though and I admit, I often fail this. I can give one tiny example that’s been talked about on internet circles: pornography. The best way to overcome pornography addiction is to become utterly disgusted with it and turn away from it completely towards anti-pornography. Throw out your phone. Throw out your computer. Put yourself in a situation where you’re never alone. It’s not an option. You have to have no choice.

>>14849578
Basically, OP. I think it needs to be brought on by an authority outside of yourself. You need to give yourself over to struggle and authority other than one you decide for yourself. You need to need to change, whether you want to or not.

are you a dude or a woman?
those feet look childish af
anyway, you need to do some manual work, something in live with the servant style of life, you'll probably give it some legitimacy over you as you are very proud of having read Hegel and having read him like he was describing fictional characters which you seem to aspire to.
you won't find much suffering in your parent's house, that's for sure

people suffer for many reasons but it will be idiotic of you to suffer just to have suffered, which you seem to realize has been an idea that has dominated you all your life til a while ago.

answer is very simple: talk to people, wash your own clothers, make your own food, take care of yourself.
you are probably way down the retarded hole to realize but you are a fucking retard, but a lucky one, it won't take much for you to learn

Maybe the suffering and the struggle has been under your nose the whole time, OP.

Suffering doesn't build anything. People who say it does are usually miserable poor cunts trying to cope with their pathetic life.

>those feet look childish af
no they are nice.

>>14848168
Turn on the news. Open your window. Smash your hand with a hammer. Remember that you are alone and likely will be on your death bed. Finding happiness and avoiding suffering are pursuits that are much more difficult.
