Holy shit is it scary how easy it is to fall into mediocrity and complacency and forget all about your grand plans and goals in life

The grand plans are all inspired by some original experience of wonder or awe, something that makes you instantly willing to devote your whole life to this giant quest that gives you singular purpose. And then you take five steps on that quest, and your mundane uninspired everyday consciousness takes over again, and you fall into this trance of unambitiously going through the motions.

That initial feeling of "my quest is is unique, it's never been done before, it might even be impossible" was originally what made undertaking it so fun in the first place, but your everyday mundane consciousness can't remember it, and it makes all these unauthorized executive decisions, that undermine the possibility of having grand plans whatsoever. It's like everyday life runs on the inherent presuppositions that there is no possibility of achieving anything great, there is no such thing as heroism or accomplishment or sacrifice or self-transcendence, there is nothing outside of everyday life, nothing outside of simply another day of existing and creating a comfortable bourgeois existence for yourself.

And then you get a taste of that original inspiration again, just a dash of it by accident even, and you instantly realize you've been drifting in that trance for months, or maybe even years.

Why is it so easy to lapse into being sedentary? Why is it hard to keep inspiration fresh in your mind, as a living thing, and not have it fade into a vague memory of "oh yeah, I'm supposed to do something.. I forget what.."

What value do these great quests have, when they turn so easily into "mediocre" distractions? Maybe you shouldn't be skeptical of mediocrity, but of that feeling of wonder and awe that makes you "willing to devote your whole life to this giant quest"

It may make you willing, but it will not make you able, and that, ultimately, is most important

Probably because you're not actively seeking out whatever plan it is that you have.
If divine inspiration comes to you one day and says, 'Hey write books man,' you might walk away from it thinking 'I'm destined to write books!'

But if you don't actually get off your ass and start writing like that day, then it's never going to happen

I'm honestly shocked at the current state of this website. Yeah, we made racist jokes sometimes, but it was all fun, right? At the end of the day, we all voted for Obama, we all supported gay marriage, and we all opposed racist conservative christians. But now? Our entire fucking site is subverted because of fucking nazis.

The internet is OUR platform. the LIBERAL platform. Racism, sexism, misogyny, were all confirmed to be left in the past because millenials are the most left-wing generation of all time. So why in the FUCK, do we still have to deal with nazis IN TWENTY-FUCKING-SEVENTEEN? Despite how much you wanna cry about how it's just a conspiracy and a boogeyman, Russian hackers ARE real, and this site is proof. We went from one of the most liberal sites in the world to supporting Orange Fucking Hitler? Nah, that's not normal progression because people only get more liberal with age, just like how you get smarter with age.

I'm sick of all of this shit. Fuck Nazis, Fuck Fascists, Fuck Hitler, Fuck Trumpf, Fuck White Pride, and FUCK REPUBLICANS. Just fucking nuke this site already.

Funny way to say mainstream media, are you ok anon? Did you have a stroke? I noticed you had nothing bad to say about the KKK though, makes sense, after all the Democrats founded the KKK.

What's on my brainpan? I've gotten over 75 free downloads since yesterday for my latest KDP Select campaign, still 34 hours to go. Who wants some free ebooks? Who knows, maybe you won't find them to be COMPLETE shit but rather with just a fragrant little HINT of shit. Anyways, for the Liberal above, I suggest checking out 'Living Amongst the Dead: Dark Days' for that interracial underage lesbian rape-and-murder. There's even foreplay; she shoots a cis white male! Don't worry though, things even out; at the end of the 5th book in the series (LAtD: Will there be No Reprieve) SPOILER ALERT but that 'nigger dyke' as she's called in the 3rd book (LAtD: On the Road Again) ends up getting raped and murdered. Correction, raped several times and then murdered. Figured the progressives would like some content that reflects their view of the world, since white men are oppressing/raping/marginalizing/murdering minorities all the time, right?

I was about to say. I had NO idea what you were going on about and your words were making my brain hurt. Cool pic though, I've got a New Testament handy so I'll provide the actual passage of Revelation 21:8. It's a free little Gideon's International I got from someone. New Living Translation: Second Edition. People more familiar with the Bible than myself here on /lit/ will likely tell me it's a shit, and perhaps it is, but it's all I've got for now.

Revelation 21:8
"But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars - their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."

So I guess betas, non-Christians, Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton, feminists, feminists, and so on and so forth will end up in Hell? Well, I personally think if a non-Christian lives a good life they should be at least allowed in purgatory but hey I don't make the rules. What about the passage before it?

Revelation 21:7
All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children.

Well I guess it's official; God loves Alphas and not Betas. Looks like I'm sitting pretty.

It's disheartening to see people like Kevin Spacey trying to seduce young children. It makes me feel as if there's nothing worth anything in this world, and I should just commit suicide, but I think that's the value in adherence to morality.

Soon that bitch at the pharmacy is going to have to go. The way she says, “Next! Come on! Come on!” makes me want to get up, look her dead in the eye and fucking wrap my hands around her neck and squeeze and squeeze and squeeze.... right up until her windpipe is about to snap in half. Then I'll let go and let her gasp for air just for my amusement. When that wares itself out I'll finish her off with a 360 twist of her old cunty neck. The fluttering sensation I'll feel go down my spine once I see her eyes roll in the back of her head, whilst froffying white foam bubbles up in the corner of her mouth. If I'm lucky enough the whole thing might make me hard. What? What the fuck are you looking at? Oh I guess this is my fault? It always is, right? I'm sick right? Well I guess you better treat me. Perhaps it’s better if I just do it and get it over with. Probably have to blame it on the pills again when they throw my ass in prison. Fucking shit. Why am I at the god damn pharmacy all the fucking time? Maybe if my doctor didn’t give me 40 antidepressants I wouldn’t have to be here so often and contemplate strangling the shit at out of that cunt. I do my fucking part. I go out. I try to be social. None of it fucking works. Why should I have to control my inner impulses? I’ve done all I’ve could. Why don’t they do their fucking job? Give me something that works. Don’t just give me bullshit platitudes for me to complete and pump me full of god damn magic pills when your “advice” doesn’t work.

I don't really believe neutrality to be a truth of this world.

There is either a devotion to nothing or to something.

I know, deep in my brain, that I could kill another human being and keep living like it never happened now that I've reached maturation, and it's the same for everyone around me whether they accept it or not.

The people that are "neutral" and merely living are people that will commit monstrosities under the right conditions.

Maybe I'm just too isolated to apply a truth to the human species as a whole, but I know how I feel when I interact with others, and I can't help but be terrified that moral structures are dying when I really feel the fabric of what I am.

There's not much difference between me and Kevin Spacey, but Spacey belongs to a higher genetic grade than me.

i've got a short story idea.
a brother and sister spend time together on christmas eve. they reject their family's invitation, instead opting for a holiday seperated from that disheveled mess: alchoholics, drug abusers, all poor; they are past the point of exhaustion; mom is crying on the phone, why aren't you here with us, do you not love us, the works--just tired. they fall asleep in the sister's apartment
the sister falls asleep, and has a dream where she walks to a coffee shop. there is a man inside who sits next to her and talks; they are off on a conversation about music, film, what is good and bad--and him the the whole time just caring and looking at her. in the same dream he is there in her bedroom. she plays him a song on the guitar, and he showers her with praise, calls her beautiful, and she breaks down into him. he just takes it all, the bad feelings. his shoulders and back are thick and muscular. his hands are callused and worn from exercise, which he loves. they have sex.
the brother dreams of walking with a man, about his age, through a snowy field and they say very little. they share a park bench for a while, sitting and looking; he gives the brother a blanket and they watch birds and whatnot. they speak briefly about the weather and trivial things that make them happy. the man offers him the chance to drive across the country and live somewhere else forever, leaving his home behind. the brother cries, feeling completed and new. the man says he will provide all expense for gas, new clothes. he has a house they can share.
they both wake up, and exchange gifts on christmas morning. there are numerous missed calls from their mother, who has likely drunken herself into something wretched. they call her back. she is desperate. if they do not come home she will kill herself. they ignore it, barely being able to tolerate her voice. the brother leaves. the sister goes to sleep again shortly thereafter.

I’ve had this unhealthy obsession with him for awhile. This foriegn musician, who I didn’t actually find his voice at all apealing at for the longest time. One of his older bands had okay music, I tested the waters with it, wasn’t exactly my style. Some of his lyrics were awful, some were deliciously exicuted. Then I found his oldest stuff, and his old music that was almost all mellow and acoustic, which his voice aplied to was like ear chocolate. It felt like you were in danger, but you were comfortable with that. As if a dark creature was right behind you and you could feel it’s breath against your neck as claws sensationally touched and ran up the notches of your spine. What started out purely as a joke to bug my friends and meme the shit out of this crappy artist slowly became a morbid unconscious obsession with him. Now I often have dreams he infiltrates, and his personality is very shaped in those dreams though I wouldn’t assume him to be like that if you asked me in real life. A happy man, but a book definition Virgo. He’s platonic towards me, friendly but I think that’s because I worked up to that point. I don’t think we’ll be friends unless I continue to build up a friendship in those dreams, which I think will be very hard, I don’t know how to catch his interest.
Anyways, it’s odd how this character manifested from my stage interest. Yes, I know that what’s in my dreams isn’t really him. I actually feel disgusted with my fixation on this, I hope I don’t blur the lines between simply consuming music and my exciting dreams. I don’t want these dreams to end, I really feel hmm what’s a good way to put it... the opposition of lonely? With this version of my conscience.

Come on!” makes me want to get up, look her dead in the eye and fucking wrap my hands around her neck and squeeze and squeeze and squeeze.... right up until her windpipe is about to snap in half. Then I'll let go and let her gasp for air just for my amusement. When that wares itself out I'll finish her off with a 360 twist of her old cunty neck. The fluttering sensation I'll feel go down my spine once I see her eyes roll in the back of her head, whilst froffying white foam bubbles up in the corner of her mouth. If I'm lucky enough the whole thing might make me hard. What? What the fuck are you looking at? Oh I guess this is my fault? It always is, right? I'm sick right? Well I guess you better treat me. Perhaps it’s better if I just do it and get it over with. Probably have to blame it on the pills again when they throw my ass in prison. Fucking shit. Why am I at the god damn pharmacy all the fucking time? Maybe if my doctor didn’t give me 40 antidepressants I wouldn’t have to be here so often and contemplate strangling the shit at out of that cunt. I do my fucking part. I go out. I try to be social. None of it fucking works. Why should I have to control my inner impulses? I’ve done all I’ve could. Why don’t they do their fucking job? Give me something that works. Don’t just give me bullshit platitudes for me to complete and pump me full of god damn magic pills when your “advice” doesn’t work. Fuck it, I’ll probably just do my evening walks til she starts running then call it a night

>Potential plans, just a celebrity crush, to occupy desire to not seek it else where, are you going to try to make moves, or you just like the day dream movies in your mind?
I wouldn’t even call it a crush, more just fascination. I don’t know what a crush for wanting to know someone personally would be. Plus he’s over half my age. Though I wouldn’t protest calling it a crush either. I mean sometimes they are day dreams, other times they’re night dreams. They started as night dreams. I am often aware of when I’m dreaming when I’m asleep. I wouldn’t want to make a move in real life unless of some strage circumstance allowed for that to happen in a natural seeming way. So not behind a computer screen. I think anyways, that it would take me to make something really great out of myself for him to notice me, but being to known would also put up red flags which would make him unattracted to me. It’s rather funny actually, I have a friend from that area that said he would translate my book to that language after I write and publish it. Not that it would be discovered at all.

All throughout my teenage years I was the biggest sack of shit I've ever known. After high school was done and gone I realized how toxic and hurtful I was to everyone, so I shut myself away and dedicated my time to fixing myself. Started reading, worked out, meditated and got a job. All the while rarely going out and rejecting advances. After almost 4 years I feel I've made great strides but, I can't seem to put self improvement to the wayside in favor of other things I SHOULD do. People tell me I should be social, ask girls out and such but I think of the time doing that where I could be working out, reading or saving money and I'd rather just stay isolated for a while longer. The rush of seeing that extra muscle or learning a new thing doesn't even come close to the joy of being sociable. I don't even hate people nor am I an introvert, I just don't want lose focus and fall into complacency. Maybe self improvement isn't an exception to "everything in moderation" or maybe I'm just a narcissist, who knows?

You ever think about the younger generation that calls every single thing they don't like "shit"? Always just the word "shit", with no qualifiers - always a "shit game" rather than "a shitty game". "Is it actually good, or just shit?" "Hope it's not too shit." "Fun gameplay but shit graphics." Any and all negative descriptors are whittled down to just unending "shit", everywhere.

It seems weird for vocabulary to shrink like this.

There's a slight change in connotation, I feel. "Shitty" implies that it can be improved, while "shit" is more permanent (and emphatic). Usually in a discussion, the strongest opinions get the most attention, so it's pretty understandable why it became popular.

Wow, I'm glad I'm not that inept. I went to a Christian thing the other day, not church but some kind of other thing, and I managed a few jokes that got a few laughs. The forecast yesterday for Halloween was calling for heavy winds, and I said to the woman I was talking to "well I hope none of the kids are dressed as kites." She had a good laugh out of it, I love lame jokes like that.

I've fucked a fair few women though, and have experience some terrible, evil women a well so perhaps the 'magic' of women has worn off. They're just hairless monkeys like the rest of us, 'evil hairless monkeys' as Terrence Popp puts it. If I meet a chick I'd like to fuck and think I have a chance of getting into bed, then right on, maybe I'll get her. Or maybe I won't, that's fine too. I quite simply don't give a shit either way, it's how I've been for years. I've had about 10 women but in truth there's at LEAST 2 others whom I was alone with and could have easily had consensual sex with, but I didn't. There's also a Korean I dated for quite some time but due to an unknown cultural difference that I only learned of later, nothing came of it.

The key is to just not care. There's nothing special about women, in act I've been with at least one with whom it was an absolute CHORE to have sex with, it sucked, and I don't miss it. The only reason I would even consider having sex with her again would be if every other woman was dead and I needed a vagina to fuck in order to obtain offspring.

Women piss, women shit, women fart, women bleed, women are capable of lies, of cheating, of stealing, even of murder. They're not 'precious little angels', they're not innocent, they're not worthy of praise, they just ARE. They are men except smaller, weaker, less hairy, typically less funny, they lack dangly bits and instead have a smelly hole as well as a couple sacks of fat on their chest. You shouldn't need 'courage' to talk to those creatures.

Well according to a different Korean woman I spoke to later, you're supposed to actually verbally confirm relationship status. How things work in the west is, typically, you date until things happen and eventually you just end up in a relationship. Things happen fluidly. With Korean chicks though (and this one was directly from Korea, still learning English), apparently in order to go to the next step you have to actually confirm the whole boyfriend/girlfriend thing. A shame. We'd gone on something like 6-7 dates from what I can remember (this was several years ago), she taught me the numbers 1-5 in Korean (can't remember anymore), and we'd of course kissed a few times but then on the last date I tried copping a feel. She gently took my hand off her chest and apologized, it was during a movie so I guess she felt nervous about it in public but anyways I felt so ashamed that I didn't try for another date.

I didn't feel angry, that she wouldn't put out, but to make a movie and be denied, it's not something I'm accustomed to and I felt very embarrassed. Waited to see if she would contact me but she never did, so I let it lie. Spoke to her months later after learning the cultural thing. I think if I'd have actually spoke to her about a relationship and becoming bf/gf, we'd have had a pleasant relationship. Funny, she was actually a bit older than me but I'm a big white guy and she's a little Korean, she was so tiny compared to me, and seeing her on a chilly night after a movie wearing my hoodie was adorable. Unzipped, my hoodie could undoubtedly be a small blanket for her. Walking hand-in-hand, people probably suspected I was this big creepy man with a goatee putting the moves on an innocent little 17 year old or something even though she was actually older than me.

One of my closest friends has had bouts with anorexia and depression all throughout her teens and into adulthood.

Like last time she went through one she's pushing me away again. There's been no serious fights or animosity this time but she just doesn't seem to want to talk to me about anything anymore. It was like a switch went off 3 weeks ago. We live in different cities and she made up an excuse to cancel plans we had made a month or so in advance. She went on a cruise last week and promised me that we'd talk about her recent change when she got back, but still was aloof.

I told her that I want to take a break from our friendship yesterday. A long message explaining my reasons why and how she's been acting so strange recently was met with a one word response.

It hurt but it was the right call. Every time that we had been apart in the past I was fairly upset but this time, while still somewhat sad, don't feel it anywhere as much. I don't know if I want to give her another chance a month or two from now or just let it be.

The only way I can stop history from repeating itself is by ceasing to exist - physically or mentally - or choosing not to reproduce.

The unconcious cyclical nature of life only leaves a margin for you to exist in. The sins of your parents make up the majority of your being, and you have around 10% of room to wriggle around in to form your personality.

I used to think that you could escape your past and origins, but your parents lay down the foundation of your path and you can't escape it. You can dig up all the bricks they laid, but you'll end up dead with bloody and muddy hands.

How can anyone possibly become anything other than what has been demonstrated in front of themselves?

>How can anyone possibly become anything other than what has been demonstrated in front of themselves?
That's probably impossible. It's certainly practically impossible.
You can still choose what you want to be exposed to. What you want to be demonstrated in front of yourself.
About parents. There is this concept about ancestors in aboriginal cultures of South America. They believe you are in fact each and every one of your ancestors. Every ancestor lives inside of you; your parents exist wholly inside yourself. You don't just inherit a couple of genes, or a couple of traits, or some obsessions, you ARE them. Now, this thought is frightening because it implies power. Just learn to control that power. Moreover, this concept should also be applied to every person you meet. Everyone is in you as you are in everyone. Don't mistake me as some pantheist though; this is not spiritual but practical, experiential and open to discussion.
I myself am repudiated by the thought that I'm my father, that all of himself is inside myself. This is I think the reason of my self-loathing, or at least a big part of it. And then there is a chance. A chance to actually stop history from repeating itself; because it's impossible that history repeats itself if your mind is pure. Again, I'm not talking about religious purity (although I'll admit this thought comes from buddhism). What I mean is undeluded thinking, clarity of mind.
I deny existence, I deny non-existence. But the self is always trying to get to either of those two opposites. Some people may think "I exist", other people may think "I don't exist" but they are both wrong. You may think "by non-existence I'll stop this never ending cycle", but I say let go of the attachment. Stop thirsting for something to exist or cease existing; that's not something that can be quenched.

My book is about a depressive suicidal 21 year old substance abuser and his darkly comedic struggle to care for himself and his twelve year old sister after a car accident that killed both of his abusive parents and rendered her paralyzed from the waste down. The exposition changes from before the accident to the present without context throughout the novel (or novella, I haven’t reached that point yet) until you finish the book and can finally understand the full cause and effect cycle of abuse.

I think I mostly am just drawn to the idea of love, and am substituting this person in that place of interest. He is by far, far from perfext however, the way I imagine him. In my dreams I see his life and hear his thoughts as well and his personal characteristics. This character is drawn to laziness at times, always is wanting more out of life, and has caused a lot of familial and marital issues in these dreams. He affairs with this young girl sometimes, but is confused on what type of attaction he is drawn to her. It’s odd, because sometimes their relationship is not consistent in different dreams (probably because they set place at different times, though out of order), but his characterization is always consistent.

The First World War was full of terrible suffering but it created a generation that overcame modernist hedonism and no longer feared death to the point that they were willing to violently overturn the status quo for what they believed.

The freedom to pursue your own ideology and impress it upon the world with all of your will is the greatest freedom available. If your idea of freedom is that we should limit one man's freedom to allow another man to have freedom, then that doesn't sound much like freedom to me. Laws that limit freedoms under the guise of increasing them are not free at all. The ability to impose your ideas on others is the most true, absolute, Darwinian freedom out there.

The White months are the months of romanticism and the months of soggy, wet air; the months of hushed whispers, of reddened faces, and of moistened lips. The light of our lifetimes, the delight of our days: a spectacular period of grace and devotion to the art of life.
The morning scenery of the pale fog renders a paradise of god-affirming beauty. The smoky trees whispering of the subtle winds, their sunkissed leaves and the damp lanes of walkers passing through them; surely an aestheticist's dream.
The man who awakes early finds a pot of gold at the finalement of his circadian rainbow. The man who nourishes at night finds the painting of his deity through the window.
Saviour, I see your faces everywhere in these months! It is for us to be grateful for these white months, these precious gifts of nature and life, to preserve them, appreciate and learn from them.

I refuse to accept this has anything to do with youth and the idea that art is worthless escapism. Why can I not socialize, play sports, have sexual experiences, go to parties or go on an adventure as an adult? What makes the youth version of this so special. And how is art an escapism, how is it not the pursuit of life and the expression of it? Just like going on an adventure it is the chasing and the experiencing of life just in a different form. I’d argue not creating anything during your life is the ultimate form of having zero worth. How is there any proof you even existed as a person if you don’t leave something behind?

So first chick agreed to go to the haunted house then cancelled a few hour prior. I already bought the tickets which were non-refundable, and none of my friends were available. So I invited project chick, who I ditched to hang out with hot girl before. We hung out a few times, time before last we smoked in a park and on our way back to my car she just randomly said that she was aroused. Well any way took her to the haunted house, that was pretty cool. She held my hand and held on to me for most it. She wanted to drive to the park on our way back and smoke. She got really high and and was texting her bf, was in an argument and that when I realized she crazy but I won't go into that. I kinda wanted to go home at this point, it was late but she insisted we stay. Then she kept looking at me, getting real close inviting me to kiss her. I was very hesitant and we just waited there for a while. Eventually we made out and I told her I've never been with a woman and she let me suck her tits. We would have gone farther but I was really high and still kinda hesitant plus I was tired so she said let's wait some other day when I'm sober to take me. When I drove her home I told her I wasn't looking for a relationship. She said that's ok we can be friends. In class the next day she was really affectionate and that me feel weird. After class she texted me asking of she made it awkward. I said yes and id like to go back to how things were. She said sure but idk man I'm involved with crazy now

art is escapism in the same way retreating to your study or choosing not to speak to someone insufferable; art is reliant on choice of exposure, which separates itself from reality

you have little say in what day to day you experience, despite set parameters or preconceived physical location and mentality; art on the other hand awaits patiently its acknowledged existence by you, the spectator and observer. we lounge about, watching artists consume that around them or within and mold it, sometimes to a point of imitation. art is a lens formed by will.

not sure where i'm getting at here but i do think the wonders of life encompass more than adventure; if life is reliant on experience what good is contemplation? moderation is far more difficult than abstinenc

but i agree about dipping your toes in as many ponds as possible, though eventually you're going to discover one of those pools is worth completely submerging yourself within.

lolololol. Well thats cool. You just have to hope her bf is not crazier than her, and wont find out about you. She obviously thinks your hot and cool, which is why she flirted with you in class, also to make herself less lonely in class, to add something to her school day, a friend, an exciting distraction, fun, friendliness. You should try to lose your virginity to her as long as you can be certain her boyfriend wont try to kill you. also I hope that doesnt scare you from trying. At this age boyfriends may not be so serious and she seems like the type of person who may get divorced a few times anyway.

But she seems pretty cool to be so cool with you, you should keep trying to hang out with her to get your sexual practice and fun. You should ask her...not in text form, but next time you hang, more about her boyfriend and the deal, how serious, how long, how many other guys she hangs with besides him, etc. though maybe that would then make her reconsider messing with you, but maybe it would not.

I could if I wanted to but that's would be like the fourth chick in this one class I've made a move on. One other if it counts would be a chick, same class, who I found on Tinder and asked if she wanted to smoke sometimes but then I never followed up and I haven't even talked to her in class. When project chick mentioned in class that we went to the haunted house hot chick looked at me but we haven't talked about it.

this is hilarious. secretly speaking to 4 girls in the same class who dont know about it, then one by one they get suspicious and find out you are talking to others. How many guys are in this class, imagine if secretly every guy and girl was hitting on every other guy and girl. This is crazy, yea you are on your own.

>>10216729
Oh, is that what 'polarise' means in this sense? Then yeah, I'm throwing that bullshit out the window. Fuck that. If there was no 2nd or 3rd wave feminism then MAYBE women could keep it, but since 2nd wave there's not only been equality between the genders but women have more rights/privileges than men, so yeah, the most 'polarisation' they can expect is if a woman hits me then I'll hit her right back. I've done it before, I'll do it again, and as ever I'll feel GOOD doing it. Just like if I dared to punch an MMA fighter they'd undoubtedly feel good beating me into the ground. No different. Don't strike someone who's far stronger and more physically capable than yourself unless you want pain in large amounts.

He wondered, not for the first time, if he would ever pull himself out of this pit.

It seems as though his entire life has been on the constant offensive: first as a child trying to find his way, then as a drug addict trying to stop the bad habits that pulled him down so terribly.

I went to the doctor today. With my mother. The doctor and her aide were both women. They were about my age. My mother did all the talking. The doctor kept glancing back at me as I tried to look into the middle distance of the wall, now and then pretending to consider some of the adverts for medicine plastered on the wall. I was eventually asked to raise my shirt that the doctor could look at my back. I was concerned about the sparse hair on my lower back. Maybe because it was some kind of proof of my manhood, shapeless and spongy as I am, that I was in fact a thing to be emasculated, as I was emasculated that entire time. I can still feel a vague panic if I focus on the instant I made eye contact with the doctor while mumbling my thanks and gravitating toward her door. Both of the staff were attractive.

yellow suns forget my name but ive never really minded. this is very silly and will probably garner plenty of hate. not that i mind. the sounds of piano are the only things that disturb me anymore. why does this song keep changing, i just want stability in my life. not that its important. I keep repeating myself, but so does everything else. Its just small deviation after deviation, and after a few millenia everythings different. Ive lived too long, but not long enough for an ant. Ants are the mistress to my king. My king is a mistress to my aunt. Aunts are the scourge of mothers and fathers alike. My fairy godmother was an aunt. Im meandering down a lane, with no purpose in sight. But thats ok, what is literature even about really if not meandering. I should be doing reading, Im playing Franklin D. Roosevelt in my college class. I need to strategize in order to beat those communist snakes and prudish brits. Stalin is a women. Churchill is 17.

This is conceptual salad from which I will attempt to extricate some sense, because if there is one thing I hate more than self-deprecation, it's illogical self-deprecation.

In the first place, it is clearly apparent that no one could choose to be anyone else, or even conceive of such a possibility. Attempt it: in conceiving of "yourself as Donald Trump," all you will accomplish is placing your consciousness into the body of Donald Trump, which is in no way equivalent to "being" him, since to be him, you would need access to the totality of his experience as he experienced it, which is an access you could not receive, since you are necessarily entering his form at a point in time after the beginning of his existence. Thus the idea of "wanting to be someone else" is a faulty one. You may want their material comforts, or their capacities, or their loves, all of which may be made yours, but you could not conceive of being them, and so you could not want to.

Now, the statement "no one chooses to be as they are," can be taken in two ways: that you mean "one does not choose to possess one's qualities," or "one does not choose one's material circumstances." I could analyze both, but I would rather you clear up your statement, and save me half of the effort.

>> No.10217480

Your qualities and circumstances determine one another. No-one chooses either, and all of your choices are informed by both. It's the only explanation for knowingly becoming a failure. One knows how one ought to act in their interest but cannot actualize that behavior, that interest. And you yourself say the failure is a knowing one "simply do otherwise".

THe rattling never ceases. oh lord of light and sun and moon, forigve me for my fullest doom. the neverending years place me in a stupor of maroon. golden brown and breaded crowns, they dance around me never to be found. With auburn hair and smiles of tohrns i hop eto be born in pure lands. Buddha and Bodhisattva surround my thoughts, I dream of forgotten places. its just a dream anywways, dont you like dreaming. A pavillion of dreams, one after another. I enter, prostrating myself in veneration toward the dharma body. All are skillful means. The perfected nature as well. All is now, and all is well. Forgive me mother, forgive me father. My sins account for the bad in this world, and my virtue for its lust. I find myself masturbating more and more frequently as of late. Sex disgusts me. Women disgust me. I hate relationships. I hate people. But still i cant help but desire them. It springs and flows in and out of me, occasionally filling my mind to the brim with its intoxicating liquid until I am caught up in its maddening desire, eventually it meanders its way out and im left in my room once again. Im infatuated but repulsed. In love, but in disgust. nondual, not cool, beatnik dreams fall out of my pockets. I love lucy is a real bitch. Opera is a feline. Decadent, sordid, vapid prettiness.

Our generation is inundated with self loathing.

The pity seeking cult of self deprecation we have it the epitome of Nietzsche's 'slave morality'. The dog instagram filter is ugly as shit and is used to hide insecure noses with a turd. Facebook memes are stale.

>plebs don't understand god means objective morality

>We need the death penalty because crime is bad
>We can't have the death penalty because death is bad
Morals are collectivist but virtues are individualistic.
Marry Shelly's "Frankenstein The Modern Prometheus" is the best book of all time.
The monster is the best character of all time due to being both sympathetic and driving the story through mistakes.

>you have no control over your life, so don't fall to anger and ressentiment
Yes, ressentiment, no typo, a real word. It is the sentiment of resentment.
Every contemporary social movement comes from this ressentiment. White people hate themselves for being white and black people hate themselves for being black. There is no effort to transcend either the loathing of the self or to destroy the weak self thus overcoming and becoming great.
Virtue shall never be popular.
Critical acclaim doesn't create real popularity. Beethoven and many other great artists who are uncontroversially recognized as some of the greatest artists of all time are VERY underappreciated.

The "Igod" of social media and the fakeness of life today, it is death, it is not affirming. People are trying to bring god back from the dead.
In doing so, their only destiny is joining him.

Ever since I started working a steady, but extremely stressful 9-5+ job I have gained a lot of sympathy for people who say they just don't have time for this or that. By the time I get off work I need to eat, rest, and often have a glass of wine. I try to chip away at my language course, and workout 3x a week, and take my dog for a walk. I can't even imagine what it would be like having a kid right now. Life takes too much energy to constantly expend it reaching for your own personal goals. That's why it's so easy to be sedentary.
