/lit/ - Literature

Hate is a really good motivator. People say you should do things out of love, but I never do it for the love of it. Whenever I am participating in a shit flinging contest on 4chan, ironically by searching for gotchas I learn a lot and think from different perspectives. All of this ends with two anons calling each other faggots or cope accusation with a shitty feeling of wasted time. But gotcha research gives me surrogate knowledge.

Kino. Hate is kino.

Ligotti recused us from this hell of normalfagism.

>But here is the real catch: If you want to become enlightened you will never become enlightened, because in Buddhism wanting things is just the thing that keeps you from getting the thing you want. Less circuitously, if you want to end your suffering, you will never end your suffering. This is the “wanting paradox,” or “paradox of desire,” and Buddhists are at the ready with both rational and non-rational propositions as to why this paradox is not a paradox. How to understand these propositions is past understanding, because, per Buddhism, there is nothing to understand and no one to understand it. And as long as you think there is something to understand and someone to understand it, you are doomed. Trying for this understanding is the most trying thing of all. Yet trying not to try for it is just as trying. There is nothing more futile than to consciously look for something to save you. But consciousness makes this fact seem otherwise. Consciousness makes it seem as if (1) there is something to do; (2) there is somewhere to go; (3) there is something to be; (4) there is someone to know. This is what makes consciousness the parent of all horrors, the thing that makes us try to do something, go somewhere, be something, and know someone, such as ourselves, so that we can escape our MALIGNANTLY USELESS being and think that being alive is all right rather than that which should not be.

And so the thread, based /lit/, is lost once more
That dirt is tossed oer graves of worthy threads:
the /pol/s and /gif/s can sprawl unchecked and roar,
Here Monke stands, while /lit/ threads go unread!

And yet some days redemption shines thru mist
A lovely thread of Greek, mythologized
And though you know the jannies must be pissed
Here the worthy's tempers do not rise

For gems in troughs of pigs remain themselves,
Their value undiminished by their peers
4chan may suck, but /lit/ has filled its shelves
With worthy talk of Hellenistic cheer

So give a last hurrah, you frogs, and court
the screencapping you well-deserve, with trips.
I leave you all, good men, with this report:
A newfag brings with him five hundred ships!
