it’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved, was it?

>>17088433
To be completely honest anon, I don't think one is better than the other. They both hurt, just in different ways.

Terminate torment
Of love unsatisfied
The greater torment
Of love satisfied
End of the endless
Journey to no end
Conclusion of all that is inconclusible

On the value of it:
>Solitude, in itself, does not teach integrity, nor does the countryside give lessons in moderation; but those vices whose object is show and display will subside where no witness or onlooker remains. Who puts on the purple robe when he has no one to show it to? Who serves a single dinner on a golden plate? … No one is elegant just for their own benefit, or even for a few close friends; we set out the implements of our vices in proportion to the crowd there to see them. So it is: the stimulus of all our extravagance is the complicit admirer. You will cause us not to desire things if you keep us from showing them off. Ambition and luxury and lack of restraint all need a stage: you will heal them if you are kept from view.

>Seneca, Epistles 94.69–71

On the needlessness of solitude:
>They seek out retreats for themselves – places in the country, seashores, the mountains – and you too are accustomed to crave such things especially. All this is utterly amateurish, since it is possible to retreat into oneself any time you like.

>Marcus Aurelius, Meditations 4.3

On the risks of it:
>They say that Crates – a disciple of that Stilpo I mentioned in an earlier letter – when he saw a young man walking by himself, asked him what he was doing there alone. “I am conversing with myself,” he said. To which Crates replied, “Watch out, I beg of you, and listen carefully: you are conversing with a bad man.”… No ignorant person should be left alone. That is when they make bad plans and create future troubles, either for others or for themselves; it’s when they organize their ignominious desires. Whatever the mind once concealed, whether from fear or from shame, it now reveals: it sharpens boldness, stimulates lust, goads anger.

>Seneca, Epistles 10.1–2

I agree with him. I have only felt loved once. It keeps me up at night and I just want to disappear. Feeling loved is great, but after experiencing it for the first time the tfwnogf-feel is even worse.

You are an INFP and you need to beat yourself into an INTP.

Feeling love and at one point sensing reciprocated love is such an amazing feeling that once it's gone you have a huge void. To have loved is much worse
