in all seriousness, learn girard's mimetic theory. all your lack of motivation can be traced to envy, which is ultimately traced to the fact that you do not think for yourself but imitate. now the only thing that we imitate is violence, because as long as we are imitating we are not depending upon our own understanding, and without understanding all our actions are grounded in mere egotism, which is the "false self" precisely because it is a contingent entity held together by mere outward relations and not true self-consciousness, which is an awareness of the transcendental laws upon which experience is based. this explains why the egotist leads a fragmentary and oscillatory existence: there is something which he is missing--in reality he is not unifying all his experiences in accordance with the laws of the understanding. instead he experiences mere lapses between moments of critical thought, oscillating between phases of being more and less "like himself". the more you imitate, the more you sink into the mire of unreason and lose your personality, as you more and more resemble the unconscious delirium of the mindless throng. you are really intoxicated and rule by powers alien to your will. discover the basis of truth within yourself and you will not be destabilized by the violence of others. another impliciation of what i have written is that violence is all you see, all you think about. but you cannot see the truth of that violence, which is the truth about others, the revelation behind their words, which you can only discover once you realize that their words are not about you, and not even about anybody. but you cannot know this until you are not wrapped up in the false self which survives on mimesis. the true self has nothing which can be attacked by violence; therefore no violence can address it, you see? violence cannot even see it. if you really overcome envy, you actually become invisible to the large majority of people in the world--yes, completely invisible--and can only be seen by other people who do not imitate.

but all this begs the question: how can i expect you to understand me if i have just said that you are blind to what i am saying? well none of us are completely blind--rather, we are trapped in varying degrees of obscurity. i did not say that you do not completely imitate, but for now it dominates your life. you have to experience more of those periods of understanding, and when you do, take note of the fact that you do not feel that the insults of others are really addressed to you, and that you are not interested in participating in--excuse me--shit flinging, but actually want to know, see, understand, which is to say: you do not want to do violence to your interlocutor, but really to act in good faith and sincerity to one another, without having to be at one anothers throats all the time.

god be praised and peace be with you

leave this site, the people here are so needlessly mean and it makes me really sad too. I just come here to learn about books and keep up with culture.

also look into Buddhism please, it has helped my life soooooooooooo much. made me so much more introspective and from that adjust my mind to be far more peaceful regardless of external situations.
