/lit/ - Literature

I was just thinking about how in high school everyone thought I was really smart and the teachers, other students, my parents, and so on, all thought I was really gifted and I would go really far in life. And how now over a decade later I have accomplished literally absolutely nothing at all and my life is a waste and any talent or gifts that I had were for nothing and I will always be a useless NEET with zero motivation to ever do anything.

I started on Lord of the Rings and I'm reading it in J.R.R. Tolkien's voice

GUARDS

Reading books makes me smarter than people who don't.

I'm smart but lazy.
Talented but unmotivated.
Emotionally rich but detached.
God...I could write such masterpieces. But won't. Makes me almost weep thinking about the beauty...the transcendence I'm depriving you proles of, but alas I'm too manly for tears.

>My favorite author? Why, Anthony Trollope of course. Who else could it be?

>7:30am wake up
>8am morning phone call for work
>8:30-12pm moving back and forth between my work computer, my PC (vidya) and my reading chair to read
>12pm-12:30pm Lunch
>12:30pm-2pm sit in my chair letting my food digest, maybe read a couple pages if I can muster the energy
>2pm-3:30pm depending on the day either gym for weightlifting or outside to run
>3:30pm-5pm reading chair time with my work computer in case I have to actually do something instead of read
>5pm-6pm Play escape from Tarkov
>6pm-7pm stretching and calisthenics while reading
>7pm-8pm cooking dinner, eating, doing whatever
>8pm-9pm read some more
>9pm-9:15pm shower
>9:15pm-9:45pm load up vape and get high (legal marijuana state) while watching informational YouTube videos streamed to my TV
>9:45pm-10:30pm keep watching YouTube
>10:30pm-11:15pm take a dab or two to get higher and continue watching info-porn
>11:15pm-12am remove my contacts, brush my teeth, lay down in bed
>12am-12:30am fall asleep
This is literally my entire day every day, the only exception being if I go to my parents’ house for dinner.
The fact that I do actually do all of these things at specific times every day makes me think my Generalized Anxiety Disorder might actually be OCD. Whatever

Exactly. A malignant tumor, an ontological primary persisting despite all efforts to do away with them.

That the experience of Chan Culture is a better explanation of Hiedegger than Heidegger's books.

>By the 1970s, [the communists] had been reduced to some 2,000 guerrillas on the
Thai side of the Thai-Malaysian border, a few hundred scattered in the
jungles of peninsular Malaysia, and some terrorist squads in the towns.
Could we have defeated them if we had allowed them habeas corpus and
abjured the powers of detention without trial? I doubt it. Nobody dared
speak out against them, let alone in open court. Thousands were held in
detention camps in Malaya, and hundreds in Singapore.

>I may have articulated it hastily and poorly, but you still managed to deliver what I sought.
No you did not; Your OP is straight to the point, what threw people off is the Comparison to the Abrahamic holy book. In my Mind your OP is framed like this: " From what sources may I gather and attain a deeper understanding of Hellenic, pre abrahamic Culture? But because of the Bible reference people adress your not correct thought of equating the Bible to the Hellenic, Indo-European Spirituality and chastise you for it, which is wrong because paradoxically that comparison reveals your Crux and it's solution ; we view our European past through a Christian/Abrahamic lense and so we need to Look for that Break-Up point between European Christianity and European Animism for Insight ,hence why I accurately interpreted your Need.


>I have sadly come to the realization that the Social Justices Warriors who are destroying us today are simply taking Christianity to its logical conclusion. Christianity without authority cannot work, the moment you free Christianity it becomes GloboHomo, and rightly so. Liberalism is not a departure from Christianity - it's the perversion of Christianity. Authority has fallen, secularism won and Christianity has become thoroughly subverted.
I am of the same Mind; Nietzsche talked about living in the shadow of the Dead God; We are still a "Christian" culture and although Christianity is retreating we are still reacting and socilizing like Christians; Our Problems ,what affects us, and how we react is inherently Christian; as the Degenerate Slave Caste Culture St.Paul took charge off.


>Protestantism has left us utterly confused
>'Either/Or', Kierkegaard introduces a person whom he calls ’the aesthete’. This is a man who cannot find a way to 'choose himself'.
>Kierkegaard criticises the aesthete for not choosing himself. Instead, he avoids himself by constantly acting out multiple roles.
>But although you should ’choose yourself’, there is no prescription for what to choose, because you cannot find a core that is yourself.
"The Delphic Oracle – which existed in Ancient Greece – said 'know thyself'. But Kierkegaard says 'choose yourself' – it is action-oriented. You should actively be the one you are, where you are – and not think so much about who you are.

Interested but not really comfortable about reading a book with giant swastika in public

>>15769868
I also do that

Books about economics/investing/finance ?

I don’t want to care about politics anymore and just focus on making a lot of cash

Politics are just bread and circus for the plebs

Don't forget to share your paragraphs for constructive criticism

Why is this simple vulgar word considered an instant comedy gold (particularly in this website)?

"Fuck kikes" "Fuck chinks" "Fuck crackers" just don't simply have the same effect. Is there something in terms of phonetics?

All perceived human problems stem from literacy

Even this cute frog’s tuxedo has its roots in the advent of literacy.

Literature says a man cannot be free because he either has a family or sexual urges. Take into account my case
>I'm basically a sensory-let, I don't even normally feel hungry, the TV volume normies put sounds like a concert to me
>I like women for their aesthetics. I don't really have an urge to fuck them
>It's not about "Muh nofap" or "Muh stoicism" I literally have zero drive to escalate relationship to that level
>I don't enjoy fapping either. I used to fap to seduction, tease, basically "plot" rather than the sex part
>Ratchet women can turn me on though
>I try sleeping with said ratchet women but I cannot even get horny. The best I can take from them is a blowjob
Am I free or into another level of autism. Any book that shows people living like this.

Yes, anyone who would point that out would be a moron. Glad to see you wholeheartedly agree with me.
