Hope is harmony. A just heart moving towards the light. Despair is hope's polar opposite. It is messy and confusing. Despair swallows up love, hatred and everything else. Because not knowing where you will end up is despair. Despair is not what you cannot predict.
Only despair's unpredictability can save you from a boring future.

The only word I can use to describe Spengler's writing is ballsy. He obviously knew his systems and ideas weren't all correct or even mostly correct but he presents them in the boldest way possible because anything else would be a disservice to both the ideas and the reader. I wish more of academia were like that, at least when dealing with more macro-scale topics.

If things keep going wrong as they have for the last 4 years, I will kill myself. I'm not even depressed anymore, just a bit tired, and I've rationally thought about it.
The only reasons I haven't committed suicide yet were that my family would suffer, because I had some great long term goals that I wanted to achieve, and because of fear of a possible hell.
About my family, that's pretty much solved: my sister is giving birth to her first daughter in a month, and I know that my parents have always wanted to be grandparents, so that should be more than enough to ease their pain. Plus, I know that I could never give them grandkids, so I would be saving them from the disappointment. Aside from that, it would be benefitial for them, since they wouldn't have to waste anymore time and money on me, they would be able to enjoy more free time and could actually save money.
About my long term goals, I used to think that I could achieve great things which would benefit others, but turns out that I'm not as great as I thought, and everything I had planned to achieve them has turned wrong, be it because of me being too useless, or because of things out of my control.
I'm not fully convinced about the existence of hell, or of some sort of divinity. I've always had a complicated relationship with religion, but now I think that it is unlikely for such a thing as hell to exist, and if there is a God, I don't think he would even care about me.

Hell to me, isn't real but a state of mind. Killing yourself will put your parents in that frame od mind for the rest of their life. Even if you write a suicide note. It won't answer all of the questions. So what you cant give them grandchildren. The time and money they spend on you is a far less strenuous situation than thr hours they'll lay awake at night in misery over their own flesh and blood stripped from them like some sixk twist of fate. Work on bettering yourself not on whether the people who want you around will be happy or not if you are gone.

P.S. they won't be happy

It's perfectly okay to be normal . Not being as great as you thought is not a sin, it just makes you normal. All good deeds count regardless of their impact , you threw one star fish in the sea good while it didn't make a world shattering difference it made a difference to that one starfish. It is okay to feel happy for doing little things . Share a kind word or two with your sister or help her with the crib or blah blah . While it probably wouldn't help the socitey it did help your sister. And be happy with that, because today your sister had to carry a little less burden.

I'm 20 but I consume alcohol like an adult and I fuckin hate it because as far as clandestine drinking goes—I drink a lot, and so despite consuming a moderate to low amount of alcohol I look/feel like some sort of out of problem child. I used to joke about enjoying my last yr of illegal drinking, but once I learned to not get wasted it's just an annoyance that produces uncomfortable social dynamics. I also feel this same way about marijuana and LSD but theres about no chance of me feeling good about the former when I turn 21, and pretty close to zero chance of me feeling good about the latter before I'm 40.

I have a fetish for listening to girls take nasty gassy dumps; not scat, just the *sound*, the sensory experience, the plucking of the nervous system's strings. It starts with their shuffling feet, scurrying to their porcelain savior and my ears trying to judge what their gait looks like, their shoes, their body - finer details in the noise if you are a deep listener - the anticipation heats up as the stall door *clicks*, then in a sublime moment, a timing, neither too quick or fast, you get the nice thump sound of their ass slamming the seat, summoning a faint detection of the bowl's shape and the plump thighs wrapping themselves securely and *sensually* around it - before they relax and unleash an unladylike, cathartic avalanche of waste. Mud, putrid mud, waste; such a disgusting and meager thing, but it is coming from her. If you're lucky, you can hear them moan or sigh after recoiling from their gas and crude bowel eruptions, their voice can be arousing as a clearer image of a cute face can emerge in your mind; an obscure stripe of innocence, beauty, or cuteness, found curiously not in some alert social vista of tired modern life, but a quiet bathroom, beautifully contrasted by gross flatulence which they cannot control through any capacity of will power. A ripe opportunity to revel in natural imperfection and embarrassment of a woman, of whom her midst is without you in any dimension - at least to her. There is no prolonged ache of a relationship, relating, chaotic sympathy and pain, miscommunication; this is for you, a perfect erotic experience rapidly and carefully accounted into the brain, by the elite stenographer of your steady senses into your brain. No one may pry this rich memory from you, and no one got hurt. Tell me, can another fetish provide as much auditory feedback and information for your mind to crunch down on? I thought not.

I don’t hate it, it’s hard to hate it when I can work from home and read all day instead of working, pays pretty good. But I find nothing interesting about the work, I have no want to learn anything to be a better worker, and I would see getting fired as an opportunity. Only reason I havnt quit is because working from home makes it bearable and I have student loans to pay.

This post reminds me of an absurd video of this gay nigga harassing a karen who cut him off while merging on the highway or something. The gay nigga followed her to her home, got out, and recorded her on his phone including her licence plate and started saying "hey Karen why did you flip me off?" And started going on about how she is racist toward all black people because she was rude to him. Then The woman in turn had an absolute meltdown and just started wailing uncontrollably rambling incomprehensibly about how she has a black husband and asking for repentance in the most abject and humiliating way.

The gay nigga goes on playing the race card, and then walks away for a bit while the white woman is on the ground gibbering. Then this most obnoxious looking lesbian woman walks up to the gay nigga and patronizes him excessively, talking about how the woman on the ground crying was a "damn karen" and generally radiating an aura an absolute annoyance.

It was this whole childish episode in which everyone behaved like a petty little kid and played out stereotyped roles of liberal victim mentality and white guilt in a farcical ritual . Liberal identity politics is infantile in every sense of the word. It was pathetic.

Then you read all the insufferable comments of these absolute sheep supporting the black guy as if the woman had all but lynched him next to a burning cross. Absolutely pitiful .

I sort of knew a guy who killed himself. his family reached out ot me to let me know (maybe he felt we were closer than I did, I don't know) and I decided to go to the funeral for their sake. After the funeral, at the wake, I ended up at a table with a lot of people I hadn't seen in a long time and I was sort of socially uncomfortable. I ended up with a kind of rapport with one of them and I just went with it to have some way of handling this social situation. I remember I ended up laughing quite a lot. When I left the wake the father asked me how I had known his late son. I think about this a lot. For some reason I assume that he asked because I laughed at the wake of a young man who killed himself. I am very ashamed of this, I think it was an unbelievably awful thing that I was party to. I laughed at his sons wake, and I laughed a lot too. I've actually posted about this here before to get it off my chest but it's still on there.

I am a big question. I fear the world. I dissociate often and imagine people before me who did not have to go through this whole ordeal. The answer as to why I suffer will never be answered. I must grow up. Acquire some personal self-responsibility. Attend to what is needed. My friends taught me how to laugh. My loved one taught me how to love. Now they are not with me. They will not come. Those people are gone. No longer can accompany me in this journey. My heart is broken. That laughter. That love. Those were always mine. I lend them for a while. We shared those things. I will draw strength from them. I fear of pain and sickness. Yet I will not look away. I may not be able to make it and just get halfway from where I want to go. People may not accept me. It will hurt a lot. To look at the eyes of a person knowing beforehand you are not worth it. Yet you need them. I may sleep under the snow. Answers might never come.

Normalfag problem coming in: I don’t know if I love my girlfriend enough or not.

We moved in together a month ago and I honestly miss having time for myself. It’s also getting increasingly clear that she isn’t “the one”. She is an incredibly loving, faithful and selfless person, but we have different ideas for what we want for our lives. All she wants is to be cozy, safe, and comfortable, while I have ambition. She also eats a lot of snacks and doesn’t exercise, which means she is gaining weight. I don’t feel very attracted to her anymore and constantly look at other, prettier girls in the street. It makes me think about what I’m missing out on.

But now she got way too attached and I don’t have the guts to break up. What makes things interesting is that we now have to look for a new place, which means that I have to make a decision: continue living with her, hoping that my feelings return, or use this opportunity to live separately again. I’m afraid we’ll both be lonely if I choose the second option, since we wouldn’t be able to meet at each other’s places due to new Covid restrictions. I also feel bad about breaking her heart, since she is such a genuinely nice and caring person.

Rue is human as development. First consider that you're not the same asshole you were then, secondly that conscience is an improvement, thirdly that empathy and foresight are two aspects of memory's compass. Morality more strenuous than that is self-defeating all-round (except for actual psychos & such) and that includes whatever notion you have about burdening someone else with faults, as if life were that short, and others too weak to share the load for the time remediation takes.

The funniest thing is that I saw a video on YT yesterday about Uyghurs mass surveillance program in Xinjiang to "prevent terrorism" and European countries installing surveillance cameras made by Chinese companies (blacklisted by the US) who were able to access them in any moment and they are forced by Chinese laws to do it whenever the Chinese gov' requests it.
The entire reportage focused on "muh China bad regime" which is true, China is a despotic place, but conveniently didn't say anything on the fact that the EU is passing laws such as that one and putting on measures such as anti-terrorism barriers, military personnel and cameras in cities because it's the new normal.

And I've already pushed my code my mentor said yesterday that he'll look at it but now I don't have any task so there is nothing to do - but because I'm coming from a job where you had to work continuously from 8 to 5 this just stresses me out because I feel like there should be _something_ to do but I'm not doing it.

Talking about the "one" sounds like you have a quixotic idea of love and finding the perfect relationship, which is sort of endearing for 4chan. You seem like you have a good heart anon.

>moving in with her
DON'T. Moving in together again will be seen as confirmation you think she's the "one" to you and want her for the long haul. You're going to make her more attached, which will break her heart even more. And what if you two break up before the lease ends? (Devil's advocate: Living with her is the best way to determine genuine compatibility and who she TRULY is... so you could use it as an opportunity to gauge if she might actually be marriage potential.)

>hoping that my feelings return

Let's call a spade a spade. She'll continue to grow fatter, looks will only continue to decline, her unhealthy lifestyle is a character trait you can't fix. How will these issues disappear and rekindle your attraction to her?

>All she wants is to be cozy, safe, and comfortable, while I have ambition.

If you even have a slight chance of marrying her and wanting kids, this makes her sound like a catch. Why'd you want a career-driven women?

>constantly look at other, prettier girls in the street. It makes me think about what I’m missing out on.

This is sorta natural but the way you put it makes me think you don't want to settle down until you try more options. Consider if your feelings come down to FOMO. Do you feel like you'd regret not having more relationships and sexual "experience" before settling down? Wanting the thrill of hook ups and hot flings to relive youth is the biggest reason many women cheat after their marriage grows stale and they can't cope with aging/a boring life. Your gf probably has a pure soul so at least you know she won't feel that way. But if you do, it'll always bother you especially the more your attraction fades. If you want to get married but want to try more options first, I strongly recommend using the stopping rule to the SR/SM Dilemma, it's perfect.

> her unhealthy lifestyle is a character trait you can't fix
She has actually been trying to fix her diet. It’s hard for her and I can see that she doesn’t like it, but she still goes through with it because of me. She loves food (good food, never fast food) and knows how to cook amazing dishes. She is not even “chubby” by American standards, but just happened to gain some weight because her metabolism slowed down recently and her diet hasn’t caught up. She was quite thin in the recent past while still eating anything she wanted. Now she knows that she has to change, so maybe this is a transition period.

>Why'd you want a career-driven women?
I want someone that can entertain at dinner parties and has had a good education and achievements. Someone who will fix my tie while I help with her hair before we go to a fundraising event, where she is able to stand her ground. I know 4chan romanticizes “trad” wives and dreams of a quiet life with a loved one, but that’s not the kind of partner I want.

> the way you put it makes me think you don't want to settle down until you try more options. Consider if your feelings come down to FOMO

While I'm not pressing you to become religious, know that sloth is, even beyond a Christian context, a mortal sin.

I made the mistake of letting my step-father have an influence on me and I think that was confusing and in the end, not the best thing.

my point, dumbfuck, is that results vary wildly between therapists and you're better off paying a shaman, because there's no quality control.

But there literally is. There is evidenced based therapy. You can't go to a holistic healer that uses non evidenced based medicine, not get cured, then say all doctors are shit. Results vary yes, but less so if you go to a therapist that practices evidenced base techniques. Also we don't hsvr any info about what was discussed the therapists notes etc. Who knows if it was the therapist or you. Also chemical dependence is tricky because because the mechanisms within the brain. AA only has a 30% successful rate by itself. I'm sorry you had s bad experience. As a therapist that upsets me when I have seen so many benefit from therapy. But your bad experience doesn't mean it can't be helpful or that it is bullshit.
