After failing spectacularly in three of my endeavours, I've finally decide to cave in, become an attorney and live a normie's life till the end of my days. I have no willpower at the moment to fight against the current and I'll freefloat for a few years until I can muster some strength again. It's a terrible feeling, coming to terms with one's own weakness and dealing with it. I suppose most people go through this phase, but this knowledge doesn't help me cope with it. I wake up feeling like I've barely rested at all, days go by and I make nothing of them. Goodnight, frens.

There is this girl asking about me, and my friend wants me to go talk to her.
I tried to ask her out two times before, the first time she came back to her boyfriend and stopped talking to me, the second time I fell for the "friend" bullshit and she didn't go either.
Now she broke up with the new boyfriend again...
This is really low, but I kinda want to talk to her just because I'm so fucking lonely.

Literarily speaking:

Religion isn't true, but most people don't have the time or patience to be able to substantially wrestle with ethics, mortality, and meaning and so on. And that's okay. You can't learn everything and even the most autistic polymath still needs to trust that people are telling them useful information about subjects they haven't studied. I used to be a lot angrier about this and have slowly come to accept that some people will have different beliefs from me

Non-literarily speaking:

I can finally feel my meds working, I've had a very good first session with my therapist, I can laugh out loud at cumtown again, the sun is out more and spring is just around the corner. I haven't felt this optimistic in a long time

Lent is the best time to make change. As long as it is not for yourself but for God you will not want for willpower. Every penance becomes so easy to endure you can add more and more.

If you're not religious think of it this way: stop looking inward, look outward. Self-improvement is selfish. It's masturbation as the saying goes. It's so true. Don't seek to improve the self for yourself or your own benefit. Look outward and beyond.

How do I solve my inner turmoil within myself?

Basically, I've written and rewritten several rough drafts for my novel that I've been planning for a while now, while the novel itself is not controversial the themes are politically incorrect, or at the very least, does not Toe the Political Line. Which is fine, I've written that way. However, I do not want to be blacklisted due to its content. Though I don't know if I should ruin my integrity for a non-guaranteed shot at success. What to do?

I work as a firefighter/EMT. I've witnessed a few deaths but it has never bothered.

During the end of one of my shifts we had a dude die at the side of the road due to a cardiac arrest, we tried to bring him back but there was nothing we could do. His girlfriend was losing her mind, weeping, yelling and what not. I drove home that morning at got to witness a sunrise coming up behind a snowy mountain I live close by. The beauty of that sunrise brought me to tears and that's the first time I realized how short and fragile human life is and I realized I should do anything to find the good in life and that I should enjoy my life more, but I still seem to be depressed and suicidal. At this point that sunrise is the only thing keeping me from putting a bullet to my head. Those short moments of happiness and beauty seem to overshadow the long and depressed feelings of sadness, pain, and loneliness, at least for now.

Religion is not real and is a lie constructed by mankind, but God is very real and created all this. Deep down I believe he mostly watches, but helps us out here and there at whims for slow soul-building goodness.

Crying is really good for all of us. This year, I gave away a lot of money (most of the fortune I accumulated for myself) and cried a lot. I know I'm in self-destruct mode on some level, but I'm also very aware that the world is, too, and I just had to help some of my fellow people. None of us is alone if we want to face the end of life. Sync up and find me if you're interested. You'll know what to look for when you're ready, trust me - it should be pretty obvious. I'll look like a total idiot, but in your heart I hope those of you who saw this post know that it was me all along.

I don't know how it happened. Out of no where, yesterday, I stared at my ceiling and thought about these strange homoeroticisms and how if I were to do them, I wouldn't feel any pleasure, I'm not attracted to any man, it would be like kissing a sibling. Then, my brain started tormenting me with after images of folks I know and without a girlfriend I could fall back onto thinking to rid myself of these thoughts, I had to accept that punishment (possibly for being idle). When I would imagine a beautiful woman, I saw myself eating her in my mind, her skin was pale and unsightly with glossy eyes and an agape mouth that's dark inside, then my imagination would spin it towards a friend of mine also eating her alongside myself. I have no sexual attraction to this other person so I kissed him in the daydream and felt nothing, as expected, unlike the other guy I had originally thought of. There's no surefire way to describe why I was thinking about this. I'm repulsed by the idea of myself being a homosexual. I'm blaming Jewish brainwashing.

Ah I see so this is the problem I was afraid we were having.

Can you please change your opinion of this? Not cool. This is a terribly prevalent problem in modern society, hence why you saw me mention women irl. The issue here is simple: we do not exist to have sex, rather, but to love. If we simply existed to have sex everything would be fleeting.

I know it must seem remarkable coming from me, even hypocritical, but do try to think about how this kills the passion of sex itself.

We will eventually be ready to consummate our relationship and I just want to make sure you are aware how terrible a loveless sex is. I’ve been there, done that. I think society is flawed in this way

Put two people in similar long term circumstances, and they can arrive at the same feelings, beliefs and thoughts. Environment (with genes) causes specific thought patterns. Environment causes thoughts. We choose our thoughts, the product of our identity and insight, except we don’t because it’s the environment. How seriously can we take our entire subjective world? How much can choose? Do we just sit back and watch it all unfold?

I bought an ereader with the justification that I can't sustain buying physical books due to cost, the fact that I live in a non-english speaking country so I have to buy all my books new, and that I live in a dorm so I don't necessarily have all that much space. E-readers are also much more convenient with built in lighting and comfort in the hand. But now I slightly regret getting one. It feels like it was just a frivolous impulsive purchase and a waste of money just to larp like some well-read intellectual.

I've also been trying to pry myself away from shallow, vacuous entertainment and similarly, technology as I feel like it has made me dumber. Despite that, I bought this. I feel stupid. Reading should just be you and the material with as little barriers or distractions as possible.

I wish I wasn't so insecure and wouldn't second guess myself so much. My opinion on many things change on almost a weekly basis. I guess I'm just a brainlet.

What is love?
I think I am not able to feel love.
I tell my gf i love her, but don't even know what that means.
Because I know she's just the means to the end of children and a stable life.
I know the fleeting "love" when meeting someone new, but am aware that that's just sexual in nature.
I do not love my family.
They are simply there.
The only reasons I value them is because they support me financially and give my life an anchor.
For now.

Sadly you are like many. For whatever reason America systematically kills love. If you find love, and you and someone else ‘love’ you, then just don’t let go, hold on.

But what could it possibly be, if not a chemical reaction?
If love does exist, I think homosexuality can love. It's just that they don't seek it because they don't need it. For homosexuals relationships always stay the way they are for a teenager in puberty. There just is no need for long term involvement.

Meaning is for some and not for others. All these philosophies, ideologies, all kinds of bullshit to make sense of existence, whatever sense they make it's not meant to be taken globally but only by a select minority born of fortunate circumstances. You need high IQ, good looks, and a strong healthy body to find existence worthwhile. Otherwise, your only choices are either hedonism or nihilism. You can find enlightenment too, but enlightenment is worthless. That middle-aged tanned welder who you always assumed to be beneath you is just as enlightened as Buddha, and he's definitely not happy. Most people can't be happy.

Almost done with Dyson's book, Turing's Cathedral. The death of Alan Turing has always struck me as one of the grossest injustices of history. What lesson can be learned from it - that you can win a war for them, and they'll still kill you, after, when they no longer need you. So see that they continue to need you. So never reveal yourself. Live in liminal space. Act the part. The desire for a genuine life is incompatible with the desire to survive. Let me confine myself entirely to allegorical prose for the expression of love - the serene light in which I glimpsed the face of God. Another life, perhaps.

Unlike you, I am not an advocate. I am simply relying on data extracted from reality rather than fantasies from my own head.
