What the fuck was this guy's problem? Why did he live such an unhappy life, and what can I do to make sure I don't turn out the same way?

Basically, start with the Greeks but also make sure you end it there. Ignore all of modern philosophy and commit yourself to action, not to thought.

Never listen to a philosopher that killed themselves.

Hold out for a Katherine, dont settle for an Edith. Also, beware of cripples and deformed people as they are snakes.

Seriously, where did he go wrong? Was it because he was shy and introverted? Was it because he never learned to drive? Was it because he married a woman he didn't really love? Was it because he never really stood up for himself outside of his work? Was it because he had an absent and loveless upbringing? Was it because he cared too much what others thought? Was it because he didn't care enough what others thought? Was it because he was never proactive, instead just going wherever life took him? Seriously, what the fuck went wrong? Would this have been cured by pic related?

He was too passive. You've got to rage against the dying of the light.

Is this phrase the final result of 2 millenia of philosophical thought?

It was this. Almost all problems in his life stem from this. The two months when Edith was in St Louis were some of his happiest, and being with Katherine was his happiest. It all stems from Edith, she took advantage of his passivity and destroyed his career in its infancy.

Indeed.

If I remember correctly, Stoner starts off as practically an NPC, much of his life passes in a blur and only later on does literature unlock the fully dimensional Anon within him. He makes the mistake of marrying Edith while still in NPC phase. And he bonds with Katherine through literature, his actual passion. So figure yourself out before you trifle with a ho.

The part when Edith, who had never really cared about her daughter, suddenly takes an interest in her upbringing and slowly takes her away from her father just because she is jealous of their relationship boiled my blood. The daughter became an alcoholic later because of his weakness to tell Edith to fuck right off
Fundamentally he was a weak man and a coward that didn't stand up for himself. He didn't go to the war, he let Edith mess up their daughter, he let her kick him out of his study, he let that manlet faggot cripple bully him for all his life and he let him drive away the only woman he ever truly loved.

To be fair Stoner does the same to Edith.

The truth is we all live unhappy lives. Stoner pretty much did the best he could with the cards he was dealt. You put up with life's bullshit and try to enjoy the good times when you can. Thats all you can do.

You either go to war and die, or you stay home and a woman kills your soul.

Don't ever cheat on your wife. I don't care if you wife is a bitch. I don't care if she's a whore. Don't have extramarital affairs. This worthless piece of shit had my sympathy up until that point.

>H-he was just trying to find his happiness!
Yeah by having sex with your student? Real virtuous and Stoic-like...

Cringe and bluepilled. Stoner did much wrong, but he was right to cheat on his wife.
