same man, same. Im just looking for ones of interest that have absolutely no romance whatsoever in them. Im going through krasznahorkai right now, short and enough of a rhetoric fucking insane asylum that it keeps me going. Chasing Homer was pretty good. But i dunno.

you guys need to take the "all women are whores" pill
once you allow this truth into your heart you will stop caring about womemes

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

Quit being a simp. She doesnt even think about you anymore and is already on a new dick.

your identity lies with the version of yourself that has her, the ego faces one of its greater enemies

literally let her go and accept the now

Read this!
Accept it. (Going through similar shit)

These. Easier said than done - you don't ever fully recover from your first major heartbreak - but the lesson learnt is of utmost importance. You can keep simping and getting cucked in search of next "love", or you can accept the cold hard truth that all women are lying whores by nature. Don't let yourself fall for them ever again; either maintain full control of the relationship or get the fuck out. Then there's voluntary celibacy of course, arguably the only path to self-actualization and enlightenment.

>No men who really think deeply about women retain a high opinion of them; men either despise women or they have never thought seriously about them. ~ Weininger

>From the beginning, nothing has been more alien, repugnant, and hostile to woman than truth -- her great art is the lie, her highest concern is mere appearance of beauty. ~ Nietzsche

>Women remain children all their lives, for they always see only what is near at hand, cling to the present, take the appearance of a thing for reality, and prefer trifling matters to the most important. ~ Schopenhauer

>Women are capable of education, but they are not made for activities which demand a universal faculty such as the more advanced sciences, philosophy, and certain forms of artistic production... women regulate their actions not by the demands of universality but by arbitrary inclinations and opinions. ~ Hegel

>No man should trust the words of a girl, nor anything a woman says. Women’s hearts are molded on a wobbly wheel. Deception lurks in their words. ~ Havamal

>I looked into Paradise and found that the majority of its dwellers were poor people, and I looked into Hell and found that the majority of its dwellers were women. ~ Bukhari

>The female is as it were a deformed male. The male is by nature superior and the female inferior, the male ruler and the female subject. ~ Aristotle

>While I was still searching but not finding-- I found one upright man among a thousand, but not one upright woman among them all. ~ Ecclesiastes

>Do not let a flaunting woman coax and cozen and deceive you: she is after your barn. The man who trusts womankind trust deceivers. ~ Hesiod

You don't die a virgin if you fail to keep the bitch in check, you just become a pussy-whipped cuckold like most men out there nowadays.

Yup

Quick question, can you be a pathetic simp for the aesthetics of it.

>>21017196
Sure, done that as a weak teenager myself. There's self-destructive satisfaction in there, like getting smashed on cheap booze. Obviously though, you'll hate yourself and regret everything once you sober up and the hangover can last for years.

This guy was an emperor. Literally one of the easiest lives to live. If this book were written by a beggar child who had been abused all his life and had his eyes gouged out and tongue cut out to enhance his begging ability by thugs that then abandoned him to die as an adult then I would take it seriously.

>I don’t know how I’m going to live without her

Women come and go bro. You'll eventually find another one, but when that happens, don't let her rule over your own life and happiness. Your happiness doesn't depend on who you're with, but in yourself only. Learn from the experience and if you want to share your life with another woman, then by all means go for it, but remember that relationships are often temporary and who knows, maybe you're the one who decides to part ways in the next occasion.

The average first world person of today has way more luxuries and facilities than the wealthiest roman emperor that ever lived.
