Y'all are both just self centered westerners. Your rudimentary knowledge amounts to the existential crisis of your average prep school 15 year old. It has nothing to do with honesty. Your "honesty" is just an acknowledgement of your incredibly basic and uninteresting selfishness.

There's a billion uninteresting drags like you and your girlfriend clogging up the west with this sort of self-involved drivel.

I wholeheartedly love BEE novels, I have read American Psycho and Less Than Zero twice each. I know I'm a pleb but I'm not sure what I can do to put a stop to this.

Any advice you can offer me /lit/ will be sincerely appreciated.

Nothingness is better than being, because being is suffering; here's why : every moment of happiness is cause of getting closer to an unachievable and absolute ideal, because of it's said qualities, suffering is ever-present in different degrees. That isn't the case for happiness because by getting further from the ideal, you only suffer. What we call "hope" is only beliefs that we force into ourselves in hard times. Therefore it is an action that comes from within ourselves, whereas suffering is something endure from outside (even emotional pain is caused by an outside event). Absolute joy would then only be a lack of suffering, just like darkness is only a lack of light. That state of course is impossible because no absolute ideal is achievable.

If a man kills another man, he may have gone against his will, but he did it for his own good; just like a mother may forbid a child to eat too mich candy because that may lead to him getting sick, and therefore suffering.
