I believe that for the proper writing of horror, one must first deeply hate humanity, and wish violence upon people. I know I'm sounding like an edgy nihilist teenager like the rest of you, but I'm actually going through a bit of a quarter life crisis and realizing several things about myself. The reality of the fact is, horror writing should be a healthy replacement for serial killing, and the vessel of the violent, anti-human desires of its authors. Only immense hatred can channel horror. It was never about writing what is relatable, your fears and your anxieties about the expectation of annihilation. It was always about showing everyone else your repulsive vile perversions and letting them feel the inverse orgasm of the terrible upwards goosebump through their spine. Like when you overshare in a social situation and the people involved in the conversation try to sneakily not allow you to notice they are disgusted by the glimmer of your demented mind you just allowed to be shown.

More brutal things have happened to weaker people, who recovered from it.

More brutal times have occurred to less advanced ages and peoples, who recovered from it.

In Greek mythos suffering was allowed to exist among humanity because it is through suffering that we can learn. Everything that makes our lives easier and happier was created because we have suffered without it in the past. Life is a harsh teacher that first gives the test and then gives the lesson. This is why there is not a more disgraced person than he who suffers without learning from it.

That is a waste of good suffering.

Now you can be like the Biblical Job in maintaining bravery in face of physical adversity, if you know the immaterial values encompassing life are eternal, or you can be the opposite, suffering very little, learning almost nothing, and despairing a whole lot.
