The cowards in that thread stopped replying when I posted this:

All the time. Incidentally, I think "schizophrenia" is caused by hostility, not affinity, to synchronicity and serendipity. Stupid statements cautioning against one's own Self like "rednecks hate science" or "Ted Bundy only cared about himself" can prompt neurotic people to infer Dualism between themselves and the Phenomenal world, to think of the world as their polar opposite demanding they renounce themselves, and to do so lest they become monsters. Such that when their synchronicity and serendipity tell them otherwise, they despair at the dissonance and throw themselves into this Epistemology hoping to find terror and delirium in order to humiliate it.

The Gospel of Phillip is tangentially related to this in its obsession with the CHAMBER.

=========================

Remorse reflected.
Our faces two mirrors
Pointed at each other,
Remembering a past
We’d long to forget.

Long faces slip into
A stream, consciousness,
A past, driving our present
Over a waterfall, CRASH.
Tranquil waters await.

Steady springs emerge
From eyes, dried in drought,
Glazed over, opaque, lost.
Whittling, eroding
a chiseled guise.

Examining pieces
of a life once grand.
Its luster has faded,
its joyous look jaded,
white covered in black.

For every piece inspected
One more drifts in its path.
Parts of me you shaped,
Slowly coming undone,
Until not me, not you…
No-one.

I want to believe this is real, that she likes me back. There's so many signs that point in that direction, but I'm so fucking nervous. She is fucking perfect in every sense. My heart aches to be able to see her in class again. What is wrong with me anons?

>Cuando veo a mi casa en llamas
>Recuerdo a mis penas
There's no need for 'a' there.

>no pienso en otra cosa más
'otra cosa' here is optional.

>en mi amor a la lluvia. Al frío.
*por

>grotesco cual herida purulenta
Could use 'como una' here.

>Inhalo profundamente
Could use just 'profundo' here.

>tirando mi desesperación a la basura
Sound kinda akward. Could be 'tiro' instead.

>el pérfido olor del humo negro que blasfema el cielo
Kinda weird use of 'blasfemar'. Unless you mean "curses the sky", in which case it's "blasfema al cielo" or "maldice al cielo".

>Oh, poderoso mar, quiéreme.
Feels like 'amar' would be better here, considering how prosaic it all sounds.

>No me importa cuánto me rasge la carne tu gélido abrazo
'tu gélido abrazo rasgue mi carne' sounds better.

>no me interesa cuántos tesoros me has quitado, ni cuánto tu sal ha embarrado mis ropas limpias
Again, changing tenses a lot.

>tampoco cómo ha oxidado mi voluntad de hierro.
A 'ni' here would be good.

>muerde la arena con mi boca
I think you're not using the right number on the verb here.

>Me has quitado mi alma
Could just be 'el alma', 'me' already implies whose soul it is.

>por el barro mi orgullo
'mi orgullo por el barro' is more natural.

>onions eternamente tuyo
Could be 'tuyo eternamente' too. Depends on whether the emphasis on the verb (second) or the possessive (first).

>hace sollozar a mis ojos aún mas que el fuego que carcome mi casa
'aún más que el fuego que carcome mi casa a mis ojos' sounds more natural. Kinda wordy in general tho.

I'm ashamed to call myself American. My mother has a serious illness that requires an extensive medical therapy to treat. For years my father's health insurance covered it, but he has the singular misfortune of being a laborer in this country.

The lockout has been going on for many months and the company even revoked their healthcare. Like slaves Americans willingly allow their places of employment to dictate their right to healthcare. We have become a cowed nation, a nation of nation perverted of its true nature which is fundamentally good and charitable.

If my mother dies because of another man's greed, I don't know what I would do. I just saw her in increasing decrepitude and agony. It broke my heart. And frankly this country allowed it to happen. The laws, the business practices, the norms. This country is dooming my poor innocent mother to this living hell.

Why does her life mean less? Why is it ok for her healthcare to be revoked but not some chump CEO'S?

Are spiritual people just future materialists? Heaven is the ultimate form of survival, a Darwinian paradise. It seems we can’t escape the self. Even those who try to deny the self please the self through the denial because they’ve convinced themselves that denial is good. “Free yourselves from attachment.” But are you not attached to the very act of being unattached to arbitrary things? You still eat and sleep, if you really want to de-attach, you should kill yourself. If you really want freedom, you should suffer. Why should this be desired? What good is it to feel free, biologically speaking? Is it a power? But how does the power to harm yourself contribute to the power of benefiting yourself? I never really understood why people cut themselves, but now I can make sense of it, though I’m not sure what exactly their motives are. Is suffering really the best? Any books on this topic?

Just to continue my lament. I wouldn't consider myself unpatriotic. I believe I have earned these feelings, and I've earned the right to demand better of this country. But we are on the verge of sociopolitical anarchy in a bad way if we don't remember some kind of fellow-feeling for each other as members of a single national community.

It's hard to get that feeling of fellowship when what it means to be American is completely inscrutable in this day and age. Decades go overlapping religious, ethnic, and other affinities drew Americans together organically. But the whole founding ideals of America, integral as they are, still are very much an elaborate work of artifice.

Patriotism for me is not about waving a flag or wearing a certain color scheme. It's about giving the state you live in the time of day. Thinking about it as you would with which someone you have a close relationship , both fawning over them lovingly but also bringing to awareness their flaws and missteps.

I wish things would just get better and the coming storm didn't have to be so bad. My heart weeps for all those cute boys and girls who deserve better who will find themselves caught up in this.

Gen Z though has been chosen I think to produce several remarkable individuals, heroes and great Americans. They're mentally tougher than a typical millennial and used to the chaos.

I am only sexually and romantically interested in things that don't exist, and my inability to realise these desires is a source of constant frustration for me.

I have attempted to solve this dilemma by seeking out sexual and romantic companionship in the real world but although I have achieved that, for all of its reality it is still not as sensual or as desirable as my fantasies. I seem to be particularly affected by this because my sexual appetite is substantially larger than what I think is the norm - certainly it has always been higher than any of my partners. I have tried both constant meaningless casual sex (note for the reader: 2-3 guys a week for months at a time) and exclusive relationships, and both have been lacklustre. I find my elaborate fantasies more engaging than these living, breathing people.

I have also attempted to solve this dilemma by moving further towards realising my fantasies, both by pursuing artistic skills and craft skills to try and bring my imagination into the real world. However, even the most sensual erotic writing or most advanced 3d animation is a poor substitute for the real thing. Perhaps my real-world experiences are a handicap here, because I can perfectly imagine what it /would/ feel like, were it real.

In the end I think I will simply resign myself to a lifetime of chronic masturbation interspersed with occasional casual sex when the masturbation becomes boring.

For writing, it helps the writer to 'show don't tell' and teaches how to present the world through your senses. It dissolves that cheesy boomer bestseller writing like "Jim couldn't think because he was so enraged. There was no time for thinking. Annie was dead." Later he gives great exercises in prose.

Christianity really seems to have killed the pure and pristine greek wisdom.
Hidden in the teachings of Jesus, there are some good philosophical contents, but it is all literally HIDDEN behind fables, fantasies and post-mortem hopes, misleading almost every christian to these illusions, instead of bringin wisdom and true "salvation".

In other words, christianism not only hasnt brought anything truly new to philosophy but failed in achieve it's best purposes.

Do shit that makes the depression and anxiety worth it. Stop doing shit that isn't worth it. Continue doing this everyday til fortune takes you out.
Work out how to make your life fit around those things. If you just need meaning and suffer from ennui, putting your life in order will probably do you more good than SSRIs. If you actually have depression, there's no cure. It's like MS or anything else, you work out how to cope around it and not become worse. Learning how to cope by giving an overpaid drug dealer with bad quality shit isn't going to help, and it won't treat either ennui which needs meaning to be cured, or depression which is something you need greater meaning to cope with.

Right now the medical profession is trying to pretend it didn't fuck up. You want to avoid that entirely and start thinking about habits that will make you have a good enough life. Stop thinking about it as anxiety and depression and start thinking about it as uncomfortable habits you don't want to repeat.

I feel kind of weird

Someone I was mutuals with on twitter stopped posting a week ago, then yesterday his mom posted to say he'd taken his own life. I'd never actually interacted with the guy but we followed each other. I was going to send a message to say how sorry I am for the family's loss but idk it just felt too weird and it's too late now.

It's strange because in no way was I friends with him, never talked to him once. I liked one of his posts and followed him then he followed me back and then just a few days after that he stopped posting. It just feels weird thinking he's not alive anymore. Idk. I mean it's extra odd because on the night he stopped posting he posted some suicidal shit but i stupidly assumed it was just dark humour, or maybe I assumed that because I didn't want to have the responsibility of talking to him about it. But I think maybe if I'd said something he'd still be alive, it's unlikely but maybe.

I'm not really torn up about it, I didn't know him. But it's the not knowing whether I should care or whether I expressly *shouldnt* care because it's none of my business that makes me feel so weird about it. I hope his mom is okay, as okay as someone can be in that situation

Idk. It's all very strange. Maybe I'm overthinking but I don't know what the appropriate response is

I like it. I haven't read poetry in awhile but I think I know enough about them. Is it about a car crash or a breakup or perhaps a tragedy? I like the ideas that come to mind about what this poem means. But my ideas aren't yours truly.

As for critique, I am concerned about your approach to rhythm. It is totally a choice to have rhythm in your poetry, but typically you see rhythm in quatrains. It seems to me you may have started rhythmically but by the second stanza you made a change, as you've started to introduce these comma breaks and you have the Crash part. Maybe a car breaking? I don't know. And then going off a waterfall? It works that way but I would at least wait until the last line of that stanza for your Crash maybe. It might just be me but I saw you were using language about water. It's an idea I have, maybe make your water flow, rhythmically, you know.

The fourth stanza really makes me feel like you are examining the image of the wrecked vehicle but that is imagery related to life. I really like it. That may be what you are going for I don't know. That's my two cents. Everything is fantastic.

I'd make a good dad for a young teenage boy.

It occurred to me the other day that I'd make a dad. My personality is prime dad material. I'm naturally somewhat stern and mature, but I also know how to joke so as not to bore him. I rarely lose my temper. I keep what's in his best interest on my mind. I'm also prone to giving motivating pep talks, imparting wisdom and talking someone down from a wrong path.

I've also realized that over the years I've must've helped hundreds of young men anonymously in various chat boards across the internet. Replying to their posts, asking them about their life, hearing them complain about their girlfriends or lack thereof. What's the difference besides helping one 24/7 except that he grew out of my jizz and is 50% me on a genetic level?

Here's the kicker, I'm gay. (No I wouldn't try to fuck my son, you're the one who thought of it.) But it would be weird if my son was well, hot. If only because by the time my son is in his twenties I will have fucked several boys nearly like him. I'm not sure if this complicates things but he would certainly find it awkward if I were still single and hooking up with men just a few years older than him.

I think being a dad would be even more fulfilling than being a daddy to a boy. It would just be awkward af given my rather peculiar proclivities toward members of the same sex.

Of course, it is necessary for anyone to seperate themselves from their parents in order to develop oneself properly. One can easily find a recurring pattern in those with major flaws in their life and personality attributed either directly or indirectly to a parental relationship that has exceeded it's necessity. Whether that be a state of "helicopter" parenting or a situation of non-existent parenting.
Parenting isn't easy, and many people simply aren't meant to be parents. It is also largely a question of timing. The role of parenting in modern society also has changed with parents less and less present in their child's life due to work responsibilities, in comparison to a tradition life of a regular peasant from anytime before 200 years ago where at least one parent is almost always present. Links with depression due to the simple monotony of modern life affect the quality of parenting one is able to give.
In my experience, my father was someone I remember thinking I should look up to when I was younger, but as I've gotten older I've come to realise that my father is only to be used as a sort of "negative motivation" for me. I don't want to become like him. His life of meandering, laziness, and giving up on his dreams only serves as an example of what not to be. I don't respect my father any more. Interestingly part of that is the simple fact that I am now physically larger than him, and am not scared of a confrontation with the man. He used fear more than support, and now that there is nothing to fear he doesn't have much else. His life in particular over the last 10 years could easily be summed up in a few words; "nothing in particular".
My father is now someone simply awaiting his own death.

I wrote a short story because I told someone I'd do it but I hated the experience of writing it the entire way and hate the final product. A couple of the people who read it say they liked it but I know they have very low standards so while that superficially satisfies my ego I know that they are wrong. Normally I don't rid myself of prior works, but this is just abominable and embarrassing. It feels fuckawful that I can write something this shit after I wrote a novella that I thought showcased good progress in my writing capabilities.

I believe that humans were never meant to expand in population as much as we have and thus our brains cannot deal with the vast numbers of people that currently exist. We know they're there, but we don't quite process it.
I believe that returning to small communities, while just a pipe dream considering the number of people we're dealing with and the available space, would be the natural course of action and thus the best. Artificially reducing the number of people involved in cohabitation is a dire need in the benefit of our collective mental health as well as the success of our society.
The only postures I know of that sort of resemble what I seek are nationalist anti globalism and people who refuse to have children on the benefit of trimming down our numbers.
I also consider that the reduction of people is inevitable once resources are scarce enough, but it will be a long grueling process from which there won't ever be a recovery that launches us to current numbers of people.
I predict all of this will become truly apparent as soon as a few decades from now, and as late as the end of the century.
Humanity won't be extinct for many centuries from now unless something big enough happens, but our great great grandchildren will probably be farmers living hand to mouth.

Seeing as all news is propaganda, and that it is virtually impossible to give a completely unbiased account of a story, is “real news” even real? Very subtle tactics of manipulation--the order of facts stated, omissions or inclusions of identity-groupings (race, gender, political affiliation, religion, etc.), use of voice, word choice--are all important and ubiquitous facets of news reporting, even long before the advent of the term “post-truth politics” in the past decade. This is a phenomenon as old as the printing press, but only in the face of mass hysteria (or as it is often called, the “Trump era”) have people decided that it is worth giving its own terminology. Even self-proclaimed “fact-checkers” are only dubiously trustworthy as they are themselves backed by an ever-encroaching web of corporate and media interests.

I’m thinking about how unsustainable my moods are and how it should be asinine to take any given mood and elevate its importance over the others

Like when I’m down and walking slowly and looking for a chance and place and bed to lay down in and be satiated, like when I’m in bed and can only desire to continue the grey when I’m eager to cry and pity myself

Like when I’ve just had a large cup of coffee and I want to create and attack and make positive most every facet of life I care for but by way of this desire I waste the mood hoping it continues and never ends. I think this much is preposterous as we’ve been through the rigamarol of ups and downs cycling on and off. I want to create art for myself but also as a signal to rayza that I am creative. I want to make art with her because my groin compels me and my ego thinks it would make me look cool. I want to show her Anthony bourdain touring Puerto Rico for the same reason. I want to be a erudite mathematician for the same reasons.

I have a need to take control of my surroundings and the chaos I’ve been born into. The respect of anyone I meet that I need really badly makes me feel bad when I’m in a position where the world has control over me.

Then there’s the presumption that when I submit this to /lit/ maybe I’ll get friendly (you)s telling me I’m really cool and mean ones calling me a whining clone. I guess I’ve run out of steam and my feet are numb

Yep. I went through a long ass phase of that. What I ended up doing eventually was just picking one of my more simple ideas and I've been trying to stick with that one until it's done. The only problem is, I hate it so much and I don't have that much stamina for writing creative fiction that I can only force myself to work on it for 30 minutes at a time. I just set a timer on my digital watch and force myself to look at it for 30 minutes and try to find a 1/2 hour a day at least every weekday to get it done. Then I mark each day I write on my calendar with a big X so I feel guilty if I go too many days with no Xs. I feel pretty good if I can get a bunch of days with Xs in a row and that's as far as I'm probably ever going to get towards being satisfied with my writing.

I've had this thought in the back of my mind the past few days about a new way of approaching the world (new to me, at least). It's one characterized by the direct acceptance of everything as it happens, but unlike Buddhism there is no need to maintain awareness or cultivate any set of virtues. It's mostly based off my very simplistic understanding of Taoism where contentment is found through a state of 'flow' in which you do what you need to survive and otherwise accept life however it plays out. That has to sound really empty now that I've written it out, but I spent almost all of my teenage years upset after learning there were no answers to the questions about my life which I wanted to know most, that I wasn't necessarily 'special' so much as different and a bit odd, and life very well might be meaningless as we understand it with no proper continuation from that point. This all hit me years ago, and I haven't changed much intellectually since.

Now, I see there's another side to it. These things don't have to make sense. In fact, when I'm in pain, am I really sure it's all that bad? It was a thing I discovered Buddhists do where they deconstruct pain, and according to them it's we that determine it's bad. Not all too a groundbreaking thing I've written here, and it still needs more time to develop, but perhaps this is the right territory to explore mentally going forward.
