I'm a masochist. All my life I've been tormenting myself. I can recall countless instances of this from my early childhood all the way up to today. A short while ago I came to the conclusion that I'm in love with my own mental anguish. That's probably why I still come here.

Matter of habit. This place was way, way more valuable to me when I was couple years younger. Now I just enter the URL in my browser even though I'm fully aware that this place has been swarmed by zoomer redditors and that I've read 99% of the worthwhile things people here have to say.

>>>What measures, then, shall we adopt? What machine employ, or what reason consult by means of which we may contemplate this ineffable beauty; a beauty abiding in the most divine sanctuary without ever proceeding from its sacred retreats lest it should be beheld by the profane and vulgar eye? We must enter deep into ourselves, and, leaving behind the objects of corporeal sight, no longer look back after any of the accustomed spectacles of sense. For, it is necessary that whoever beholds this beauty, should withdraw his view from the fairest corporeal forms; and, convinced that these are nothing more than images, vestiges and shadows of beauty, should eagerly soar to the fair original from which they are derived. For he who rushes to these lower beauties, as if grasping realities, when they are only like beautiful images appearing in water, will, doubtless, like him in the fable, by stretching after the shadow, sink into the lake and disappear. For, by thus embracing and adhering to corporeal forms, he is precipitated, not so much in his body as in his soul, into profound and horrid darkness; and thus blind, like those in the infernal regions, converses only with phantoms, deprived of the perception of what is real and true.

Her on the left: profound and horrid darkness, conversing with phantoms in the infernal regions.

Her on the right: eagerly soaring to the fair original from which she is derived.

Actually, /lit/ revived my teenage interest in literature. Anons here have recommended me a large number of fantastic books that I might've missed otherwise, and as a result I believe I've become more empathetic, and perhaps even more thoughtful.
