if having sex enlightens 4chan users why would anyone who's had sex ever come back to 4chan. sex is not the end all cure to the average image board user and you know it. I want answers god dammit not copypastas

It's been a while last time I read underground man but if I remember correctly his core problem is that he is not in peace with himself. Yes, he is a good thinker but if he liked himself more I believe he wouldn't be a hermit at the end. He sabotage himself lots of times and has a fragile ego.

>He sabotage himself lots of times and has a fragile ego.
that's all well and good but
>but if he liked himself more
is literally "just be yourself bro"

>> No.13891192

>>13891160
Nah mate I didn't say "just be yourself bro". Do you really think that people who have peace with themselves would do the things he has done in the book? Underground man is a 10/10 example of having 0 wisdom while having good intelect.

There is no choice. You're either born one or you aren't. What, you think some advice excreted on 4chan is gonna veer you off the path you've been barreling down on since the day you were born? Retain what little dignity you were given and accept who you are.

Christianity or Anti-Christianity. If you really have a great conscience you have to take one of them. Follow the will of God or your own. You will be honouring Him either way.
