He was a pedo

>>22410544
In a sense he is right. But at the same time, you could also consider your ages 40-70 as nearly another whole life in which to correct the mistakes of the former--should the Lord see fit to grant one their full portion of the three score and ten promised in Psalm 90. That was the Underground Man's failing, to not look for any sort of redemption of rejuvenation, just petty revenge.

i was thinking about getting old while taking a walk a while ago and i look up and an old man that had to be at least 90, like an old baby, was hobbling along with a walker and i immediately promised myself i would never get to that point. some men look great well into their 70s but the second my body starts becoming a burden i’m peacing out. i’m not going to struggle against my own skin and bones, this world is enough of a hassle as is.

>>22412222
That's fair, I wouldn't want to be a complete physical and mental invalid either. What I said was obviously a bit tongue in cheek, essentially I am positive about growing older because Ive seen a lot of benefits and interesting aspects to it, and relatively few downsides. Eventually the downsides will become overwhelming, but generally speaking not at 40.


I didn't destroy my body playing excessive amounts of impact sports as a young man, and I drink tea so obviously my mind is immune to all negative effects for a good while.

The ramblings of a sick, religious hack

>>22410544
If you are alluding to Dostoevsky’s worst novels, then, indeed, I dislike intensely The Brothers Karamazov and the ghastly Crime and Punishment rigamarole. No, I do not object to soul-searching and self-revelation, but in those books the soul, and the sins, and the sentimentality, and the journalese, hardly warrant the tedious and muddled search. Dostoyevsky’s lack of taste, his monotonous dealings with persons suffering with pre-Freudian complexes, the way he has of wallowing in the tragic misadventures of human dignity – all this is difficult to admire. I do not like this trick his characters have of ”sinning their way to Jesus” or, as a Russian author, Ivan Bunin, put it more bluntly, ”spilling Jesus all over the place." Crime and Punishment’s plot did not seem as incredibly banal in 1866 when the book was written as it does now when noble prostitutes are apt to be received a little cynically by experienced readers. Dostoyevsky never really got over the influence which the European mystery novel and the sentimental novel made upon him. The sentimental influence implied that kind of conflict he liked—placing virtuous people in pathetic situations and then extracting from these situations the last ounce of pathos. Non-Russian readers do not realize two things: that not all Russians love Dostoevsky as much as Americans do, and that most of those Russians who do, venerate him as a mystic and not as an artist. He was a prophet, a claptrap journalist and a slapdash comedian. I admit that some of his scenes, some of his tremendous farcical rows are extraordinarily amusing. But his sensitive murderers and soulful prostitutes are not to be endured for one moment—by this reader anyway. Dostoyevsky seems to have been chosen by the destiny of Russian letters to become Russia’s greatest playwright, but he took the wrong turning and wrote novels.

Im 29 and have been really feeling discouraged about it. Ive always hated boomers and respected youth. Its honestly embarrassing to me to get old and Ive even got a bump on my nose after years of being attractive enough to get beautiful gfs even though I was awkward. What should I look forward to in my 30s? Im married now with two toddlers, for context.

>>22410645
>>22410660

>>22411528

>>22412564
Getting old is definitely embarrassing, but whereas many women hit the wall toward the end of their 20s, it is very common for men to have 30s comparable to their 20s in terms of physical attractiveness, many men look even better with age, as long as you take care of yourself. You have at least another ten good years if you put in the work.

>>22412589
If you live a normal lifespan, you will be “old” for most of your life.

People have always disliked getting old, but I think it’s even more of a phobia now because people have so little compared to what they used do have (I mean communally and spiritually), so they cling to their youth as their most important asset. As a result, the inevitable loss of their youth comes as a shock. Ages 15-30 could be considered one’s youth, but 15 years is basically nothing in the grand scheme of things. There is a certain justice in all this thought: the young people who resent old people for being old become old themselves, and then are likewise detested by new young people. Old people understand the futility in all of this, so they make less of a deal out of it than some butthurt 29 year old who’s just figuring out he won’t be a kid forever.

>>22413251
Thats what Ive been realizing I have to be actively concerned with my health and then it should be okay. Drinking every night and eating like shit is fine in the early 20s but its a bad look by my age

>>22410544
no worries, I'm going to jump off a bridge before I get old anyway. I'm 30. thinking another 20, 30 max and I'm out.

>>22410544
41 here. I feel 65. It's all downhill from 35 or so. Revel in your time. Anyone sitting around waiting for something to happen doesn't deserve the gift of youth, or even life. Do something while you still can.

>>22411599
>delusional geriatric
lol

>>22413524
Did you take care of yourself though?

>>22413536
Yea, I think so anyway. Don't smoke, no drugs. Drink socially. I have done many many things, more than most without boasting. And always tried to be "sustainable". But my mind is very tired and if I didn't wake up tomorrow I would be content, even if I am by no means depressed.

I am 31 next year and life has never seemed so brief. I am beginning to understand why villains in certain storiesvlust for youth or seek to restore it via arcane means. The early years are frivolous and the later years wane as your vessel weakens. But that darkness in me is one recent discovery that will not keep me from living that one good day. One good day of mastery is better than 10 bad years.

Yeah 10 years ago. But my long term partner and I split and had to sell the damn thing. That equity is now lost in the 100K I mentioned. It's all gone. I have a car and some books and a laptop and a TV that is on ebay.

t. soulless bugman lashing out at what he intrinstically feels are his betters

“From the age of 6 I had a mania for drawing the forms of things. By the time I was 50 I had published an infinity of designs; but nothing I did before the age of seventy was worthy of attention.At seventy-three, I began to grasp the structures of birds and beasts, insects and fish, and of the way plants grow. If I go on trying, I will surely understand them still better by the time I am eighty-six, so that by ninety I will have penetrated to their essential nature.

At one hundred, I may well have a positively divine understanding of them, while at one hundred and thirty, forty, or more I will have reached the stage where every dot and every stroke I paint will be alive. May Heaven, that grants long life, give me the chance to prove that this is no lie. ”

He’s right in the context of being a Russian man. Your life really starts at 15 and ends at 30-35 ish there. Best to do something heroic that kills you at 27 than be washed up with a vodka problem at 50. If you’re not Russian don’t take his comment seriously. If you are a Russian it makes sense.

>>22410544
I love that image so much. It's absolutely fantastic how well it encapsulates the absolute state of the Pissident Right: the spiteful mongrel wignat seething at one of the few times normies actually care for and cheer White people defending themselves, too weak to actually do anything about it other than drink himself to death and cope online while fantasizing about make-beliefs, we-wuz and blackpilled "le sweet embrace of death".
Not to mention how, like most Russian nationalists, nothing is really forcing him to live in the degenerate West he hates so much, instead of going back to his trad bastion of Whiteness.

To only thing that comes close to that image is this video. The nigger music, the nigger dancing, the inherent seething at the White man's space endeavors, the primitive "muh demonz" as a shield against the unknown. It's just so poetic but ultimately falls shorts because it can very well pass as a deliberate caricature whereas OP's image lacks any sense of irony pointing towards humor.

>>22415147
>lacks any sense of irony pointing towards humor
In fact, now that I think about it, that's how most of their propaganda is. It fundamentally caters to niggers because it shows no sign of self-awareness, it can never admit any of its flaws and playfully make fun of itself as that would be seen as a sign of weakness.
So regardless of how utterly absurd the situation might get, you have no choice but to simply ignore it and keep keeping on. Maybe whatabout, that's quinetessential since the days of "But you are lynching Negroes in America". By all means, the Russian soul profoundly identifies with and ultimately is the Nigger soul.

Lmao I am 48 and live underground quite literally: I'm posting from my basement bedroom in this house which I rent with a few roommates who are between 8 & 12 years younger than me. I have neither wives nor children, just a medley of contacts like my excruciatingly Jewish girlfriend who lives in Manhattan -- I always visit her; she never visits me -- and so I stay here, saving money, NEETing like a champ, because she's expensive both financially & psychologically; I value my solitude, which I've enjoyed for the last... several days, as I've hid from the world underground in my basement bedroom, my roommates unaware of my presence. I've been fasting, too, skipping days of eating. I think I may have been down here for a week... two weeks? Three! Fuck, how time flies! I've accomplished *nothing* down here this last fortnight -- a few hours-long runs playing Master of Orion II: Battle at Antares, each only to end in obviously unwinnable endgames due to subterranean lithovores (Silicoids) overrunning half the map or literal bugpeople (Klackons) simply pumping out more ships than I have missiles to target. Huh. This whole "underground" theme is really sticking.

So, here I am, listening to the sounds of a sunny day outside my dim lair, a roommate & his girlfriend descending the stairs to find the carafe of fresh french press coffee I made & left out with an implied invitation to enjoy by the presence of an empty cup carefully situated nearby, I an absent ghost, like the sasquatch she affectionately compares me to.

She calls me "the mountain man" because I live on a mountain, and look like it, too, being in my forties with a great mane of blond hair and a long beard like a wizard. I stay away because I don't want to make things weird by accidentally hooking up with her, and, besides, I've grown out of needing or even wanting any sort of romantic companionship, or even companionship of any kind.

I thrive by myself here alone in the darkness! I dehumanize myself more & more each day, becoming evermore powerful & invulnerable. The shadow cast darkens less than my vanta black heart pumping infrared blood. Did y'all niggaz think I was gonna write something dope? Cuz y'all're [REDACTED]!

Nah, playah, I'm just gonna ramble this out to the end in order to hit that sweet maximum character count to sooth my 'tism, which tingles more & more the closer I get to the end... ooh, I really feel it now! It's almost unbearable, like an electric current tickling every nerve of my hatesculpted body, a hellishly strong six & a third foot tall mass of coiled springs and blades and things of a heavy metal nature, cocooned in flesh woven all about, a disposable machine once trained for war quite literally by the most powerful army on earth, now quietly biding time until the sociopolitical climate in this country changes past a critical threshold, psychologically prepared for all eventualities, a post-human monster with no particular motives.

And begins at 20. Repeating every 20 years. You're approaching your first death. What you do after is up to you. You've got at least 4 lifetimes. If you want to use it all up, how would you go about doing it? Meditation while burning? Building jump onto blank canvas?

Cavemen lived till 50 something. It’s natural to live till 50 and more importantly your still useful all the way up to 70. At 70 your a dusty bag of wasted bones it seems like. Why have such a cynical outlook

1-25 the years that lay out the fundamentals of your life and your mindset that sticks with you forever at least subconsciously. 25-30 intermediate years. 30-70 real life especially if you don’t fuck your body up. 70+ your done, end of the road. Just enjoy it till the end and the last chance to do the shit you couldn’t do before that you NEED to do.

Of course I’m a younger man so I might not know shit. But that’s how I look at things and think of it. Most of the people here have very depressing mindsets. Why? I don’t know.
Remember that cave men lived to at least 50+. Your supposed to get to at least 50. It’s natural.

Dude I've been wasting the last 6 years of my life sticking around my family's business ....'because I can't abandon my family'. Half of the reason you're having so much family dysfunction is because you've been stuck around your family for 14 years. Jesus man, can you see that it's clearly not a good system if you're so miserable and unhappy and everyone is feeling terrible? You are living in a cycle of self-defeating self-abuse. You've made this melancholic existence a noble endeavor that will somehow bring you satisfaction 'some day' when it's been nearly 15 years of non-success? Forcing yourself to try and keep making it work when your job isn't even keeping you paid, isn't even keeping your possessions around? Please, before you grind yourself into the dust and die a lonely, angry death - divorce yourself from this toxic family. Free yourself.

It's not complicated. You are simply scared of facing the world outside of this stockholm-syndrome life that you are unwilling to address. Run for the hills, rebuild, learn to love yourself and then others again.

your life begins after you experience true love and then lose it. age is irrelevant.

Life ends at 18.
My grandmother tried to learn to read when she was 22 years old. Her boss was a teacher and put her on a special course for adults. Even so, my grandmother died without knowing how to draw her own name. She was born illiterate and died illiterate.
And all because her learning window had already closed.
Based on this empirical experience, I affirm that nothing complex is learned after the age of 18. Music, singing, drawing, painting, programming, other languages and so on.

>>22436364
sorry dude but your grandmother was retarded, and it's likely hereditary

>>22428038
I'm a year older than you and I know the variety of experience is too great to pin down. You're just stuck in a rut and depressed. Find something new in your life. I'm not saying things wont get worse, but they're definitely going to be different. Whether or not that difference will be something beautiful and transformative or hellish and inescapable is up to you.

>>22433082
Twitter-brain, there's not even anything indicating offense in the pic. (But yes the "science is real love is love" posters are immensely cringe).
In the pic I get more of a sense of blase to the various forms of visual messages/propaganda that bombard the senses on a daily basis while just trying to get to work.

At least when you die make sure you’re buried ass up so I can rape your corpse you sniveling little cunt.

Kind of. I live around blacks so it gets pretty damn nauseating sometimes. Never really liked rap music too much either. Have pretty much been a punk/industrial/metal/classical guy with occasional forays into folk, jazz and prog rock

Wasn't this line said by Ivan Karamazov, and not actually an indication of Dostoevsky's view on life?

No. I'm reading the Autobiography of Benevenuto Cellini and he says you should wait until you are at least 40 to write an autobiography of your life. Thus, you have to make it past 40 or else you won't be able to complete your life work.

Statements like the one in the image attached to your post are indicative of spiritual, and philosophical, ignorance, or noviceness.

That trend of belief is as ridiculous & cringeworthy as its apposite: that one should become more sedentary —dissimulated as becoming (more) religious, and/or patriotic— the older that one becomes; the opposite —with all that it implies— is actually true.

Religion without spirituality: dissimulated putrescence; spirituality without religion: effervescent dissipation; religion with spirituality: Catholized senescence.

Man, I'm only 30, but I can't get enough of life. Just the daily routine is enthralling to me. I love every meal I have, even if I've had it a thousand times before. I love going for walks, reading new books (or old ones!), just watching tv, playing games, playing sports, hanging out with my gf (we've lived together now for 7 years), everything! This love of live does fuel an intense dread of death though, I can't imagine embracing death and I know I'm going to be like Tolstoy when I get older and death is tangibly nearer. Occasionally I imagine my own demise and the cessation of experience, my being obliterated for eternity, all my thoughts, hopes, relationships, dreams, my experience itself over and done with, nothing more for me. But time is a funny thing, and I like to think I'm etching my life indelibly into the dimension of time permanently. Every moment of joy and connection existing in time somewhere. How is it that you can't enjoy life? Financial problems? Mental illness? A breakdown of close relationships? It seems to me that, while these are all difficult challenges, each one can be overcome and made better if you apply effort and find the right circumstances.

This only happened to me after 30. I have a very blessed fortunate life. I made a promise to myself that I would stop ever saying things like "I hate myself" or "I hate my life" because of all the good fortune I've had.

I also try to look in interesting places I wouldn't or don't normally look everywhere I go, to be more mindful. If I'm walking through the park I always walk through, I ask myself where I don't normally look, and then I look there. I end up finding there are whole areas I've been missing for years, whole aspects of nature and architecture I didn't notice. I stop to look at anything unusual or beautiful, especially natural beauty. I try to think about connections between things like where this nice breeze came from. I think giving in to routine is a mindkiller.

we all know you're going to bitch out and not kys though lol faggot

lmao I'm going to law school at 28. but yeah, maybe if I didn't know how to read at 22 I'd be behind

Mindfulness is a great practice. I think even in the most repetitious routines, there are moments of genuine pleasure you can appreciate, even though they are mundane. There are times I come home at the end of the day and my gf wants to talk about her day which occasionally annoyed me as I wanted to do my own thing, but even in this I can appreciate that she wants to see me and talk, and I recognize how much I would miss her in my life if she wasn't there, so instead of resenting this as an obligation, I've instead come to look forward to this little ritual or routine because it reminds me afresh how much joy she brings me. This strategy has worked for me personally on literally everything in my life. Even taking the trash to the dumpster, I can survey my neighbors' yards and appreciate the work they've done to make them pretty. Every activity of my life has some hidden wonder in it, I feel genuinely heartbroken that some people live without the consciousness of such small joys constantly around them.

You don't.

If you managed that it probably means you either lack self awareness or found a nice safe hole to live out your life in before you hit 25.

>>22428038
Well,
I won't weep for you
