Thread should have ended here. That's exactly why this argument is so insane.

I heard there's more of the Throne of Bones universe stories in Nasty Tales or some such collection of his work. I personally can't imagine how he could top Reunion in Cephalune or Meryphillia.

The Descent of Man, and The Real Life of Sebastian Knight

life feels like too much to handle sometimes. i can't tell whether i love this life or if its suffering is too intense to redeem it. sometimes i want to die, but i can't leave my brother alone here. i'd like to become more stable and maintain a higher level of tranquility.

Learning Latin makes me feel sorry for whoever has to learn English as a second language

It’s a book fathers read to their sons.

Of course you don’t get it.

The book doesn’t do that. If you read it you’d know that.

You were clearly raped as a kid. Or you knew someone who was and you didn’t do anything about it.

Hope you get some help.

When he said “some people are born slaves”. He was talking about their souls.

Just realized nihilism is quite literally the truth, but in a good way. Hear me out. We are infinite experience and awareness, and there really is no overarching goal to achieve other than the ones we create for ourself. Nihilism simply means there is no INTRINSIC meaning to life, it doesn't mean there can't be meaning. We literally create our own meaning since man is a microcosm of God. The answer is to stop delegating spirituality to other humans or a higher power, stop passing the responsibility of creating meaning onto another party. All religions have wisdom in them, and you can be Buddhist, Christian, whatever you want, but ultimately when you turn to God for meaning and hope, you are turning to yourself. Recognize this, be still and aware and you will know God to be yourself.
