Didn't Sartre once say his entire philosophy was the result of him trying to come to grips with how ugly he was?
Foucalt said something like that too, if you have your life together and youre good looking you dont need literature or philosophy because things are figured out
Reading literature and philosophy is like fruitlessly untangling christmas tree lights, it gives you some pleasure when you think youre getting somewhere but it will forever be tangled
