It is wrong to lust after little girls. But loving them is perfectly fine. A lot of our problems would be fixed if younger teens were married. But that wouldn’t appease the capitalists and the whores

I thought yesterday I would finally talk to her. I decided to work on a Monday because I knew she’d be there too. I came in at 9:30 and a coworker who just returned from his honeymoon struck up a conversation with me. He went on about his trip to Sicily. She rounded the corner and made for the kitchen as he talked about how they don’t make chicken parmigiana there, only vegetable. I nodded politely and hoped he would stop. I leaned towards the kitchen and my soul pleaded for him to shut up, even mid-sentence. But he continued. When he finished she was done using the sink and was heading back to her office. I passed her on the way to my desk and I felt an expectant glance, as if we’d had an appointment at the sink and I’d missed it. But I mutely continued to my desk. I thought maybe she’d be back at lunch time, but she atypically didn’t stop by. I thought she’d likely leave around 5:30, so stuck by my desk so I could at least watch her go but she didn’t appear. I went to the bathroom and as I was washing my hands I heard a thud. The sound of the door leading to the elevator bank closing. I dried my hands and walked past the bank of elevators and looked through the glass door. She was there and our eyes met and I walked on.

>> No.14077673

My son is putting on his shoes. Come on, Timmy, Let’s Go to the Super Market. I will go to the Super Market and buy Groceries. I will buy food to feed my family. My Son, My Husband; My Self. I will feed myself with Oreo’s. I’m buying Oreo’s to feed my son Timmy and to motivate him to come with me. Timmy stops putting on his shoes, and while utilizes my absentmindedness to run back up the stairs, shouting like a savage. He’s daydreaming about being a savage warrior fighting against Wolves that he saw on the television screen, who were wandering through the snow, and were announced to be efficient and calculating hunters of the weak. And he had seen the movies of men in leatherwear wielding swords, fighting against monsters. A dark alley in the woods, and Timmy and his sword, imitating the movie stars, who scream before they engage for a presumably final battle. I listen to Timmy and shake my head and I whisper: Boys will be Boys, and chuckle to myself, while thinking of his father, who I have known for 21 years. TIMMY I scream now, as to make him realize that his mother means serious business and then runs back down the stairs and puts on his shoes and accompanies me to the super market, where he will be rewarded with Oreo’s for loving his mother and accompanying her.
I condition him like this. I realized early in my motherhood that human children, like all animals, are conditioned through treats, and the treats a mother gives, make her child love his mother - all kind of treats, all motherly treats, not just consumption goods in the super market, but also the tender and caring love of a mother, which then, again, often consists in giving her son Oreo’s as a reward but also mean to caress his hair, or pet his arm, or give him a kiss after dinner. I think it’s arrogant to presume that conditioning children or men or humans in general through treats is cynical or dehumanizing, that calling it cynical or dehumanizing is itself, dehumanizing, cynical, degrading of something that I, the conditioner, do not in any way perceive as lowly, degrading, cynical or dehumanizing, but rather as a central pillar of being an organic species on planet earth, something deserving of being ritualized, of being elevated and regarded highly. Conditioning is important, it is just a more pragmatic term than educating, and as such more fitting. I don’t educate my children to love and obey me, I don’t educate them on how to behave, rather I condition them. I utilize a wide array of tools to condition my children to be decent, loving and respectful human creatures.
No mother could judge me, unless of course she’s ideologically compromised, but if her eyes see clearly, if her soul is one of clarity and truth, she will know the animalism of mankind, the heightened, yet so wonderfully innocent animalism of our species. She is taught by her children, she is taught by her husband, what wisdom means.

>> No.14077679

She will not laugh at the moon, and she will not kill the buddha. She is settled within the reality of human society. This is the truth that having a family has taught me, I see this wisdom, this settlement in all mothers surrounding me, even if they are not aware, even if they are ideologically compromised. Of this I am assured, yet, nonetheless, my studies of philosophy, during my time as a student, have taught me the value of humbleness.
I recognize, even though if I often struggle to internalize it, that the world does not just consists of the earthly, motherly reality, but that the dreams of my child, the laughter of the monk at the moon, and the irrational plunges into the unknown that my husband undertakes as his day-to-day job, have as much integrity and substance as the earthly realm over which I watch with knowing eyes. There is a flaw of absoluteness in the judgement of the mother, a certain limitation to the horizon, which is, of course, natural, as all deep knowledge and wisdom must be dense and focused, and as such excludes knowledge of other fields and spheres. What is interesting about this, is both the visibility of this limitation, and the almost subconscious knowledge of all man, that what is contained within this limited space is the deepest wisdom of all life.
I am generalizing, but my experience has so far only confirmed me. And even if this generalization is misplaced, and speaks more of my own soul, I have still revealed a secret of existence to myself.
I neither first nor last, but the beautiful spirit of being a mother, of seeing man and woman and child as they are in their most primordial shape and form, in their most primordial longing and needs, has beautified my life.

Every Kanye has been a good. Some redefine the genre others just cement certain sounds. I love JIK, but it's not his best album. Still, it is a sincere message and remains as powerful as Jesus Walks - the album is important in his meta-narrative. Hes moving away from the hedonsim that defined his previous eras as he grasped with the loss of his mother.

The live show is powerful. I think it counters the narrative that his is just another act like he did with Trump.

Truthfully... Only One remains his most powerful song. I too lost my mother some years ago so this just completely resonates with me.

My wife is my best friend. We have been together over a decade. I've spent just about every formative moment in my trek into maturity with her. Yet I lack something deep down inside. It is a feeling that I've ignored for too long with an idealized hope of marital redemption that just never sprung into fruition. Rather, everything is surface level words and giant extravagant actions that leave no more of anything real than the unbacked words themselves. On top of this I've fallen in love with another woman and we seem to have most of what I never had with my wife. It is so ridiculous because for 10 years I have actively ignored advances from attractive women and nipped close friendships in the bud before they grew into anything. Then I met this woman and she seemed to replace everything in my life instantly. I don't even trust this chick. I know she will hurt me over and over and in my head knowing this I still chose her. What is wrong with me. How do I tell me wife?

Cant' decide if living forever (or at least a very long time) would be terrible or amazing. On one hand you'd have time to hone your skills and knowledge to unimaginable degrees. On the other it would probably completely alienate you from society, incredibly moreso than whatever little angst you may be feeling now.

I don't want to be a writer, but I want to write well. I think I write fairly well, but not well enough. I'm with the first girl I've been with in years and she's very creative, extremely gifted as an artist. I've told her I like to write but despite her sharing many of her paintings I've not been able to even show her a short story yet. I don't care what anyone thinks of them but if I disappoint her with one I'd want to drive off a cliff. I've gone back and edited all of the short stories I've ever done but none click as good enough, so I've been racking my brain for a new idea, hoping something genius pops up, but nothing comes. If something did, I'd likely not be able to make it good enough anyways.

I write random thoughts in a word document from time to time and I have one exactly on this. Sometimes they're phrased incredibly beautifully. My favorite is
>"A strange doll in a strange dress.
>There once was an abomination who had no place in this world. She clutched this doll tightly, and eventually was drawn into a cold and lonely painted world.”
there's a real elegance to that phrasing, especially in how it withholds so much information and leaves you wondering about all sorts of details. It reminds me of a line from Essays in Idleness by Kenkō, I think the similarities are pretty apparent.
>“A lady who had reason to withdraw from the world for a time had retired to a lonely tumbledown house, where she was idling away the long days of her seclusion”

I just want to be in a monogamous loving relationship with a pretty girl who strengthens me and who is strengthened by me in return. I have never experienced anything of the sort.

I am a virgin, and I have an aversion or aloofness toward emotional and physical intimacy and I don't know where to develop these aspects of myself except in manipulative or destructive relationships which I am hesitant to engage in.

I am afraid of letting women in at bottom, for fear of what they will do to someone vulnerable like me, but I am also afraid of using women, and emotionally abusing them.

I'm a /math/guy and I fucking hate thinking about how much further I could be right now. People like Tao were taking calculus when they were 10, and while that may be going too far it would have been tremendously beneficial if I had been taught about proofs and logic and basic discrete maths in 8th grade instead of fucking geometry. It's not even safe at the university level, at least in burgerland, I had to skip the entire first and part of the second year curriculum just to get into proof-based classes. Madness.

I'm very thankful for these threads. It's nice to vent or just get my weird thoughts out into the open.

It's mid fall here and very depressing. There is something about this season that always makes me feel lonely; magnificent desolation. Maybe it's the darkness. One of the main struggles of my life is possibly being close to resolving: I have an appointment with a gender therapist this weekend, I'm very anxious about it. I've had obsessive thoughts about my gender my whole life and am now going to expose and reveal my most inward self to some strange therapist to get his professional opinion. I don't like being this vulnerable, but I am forcing myself to. I'm not hopeful about the results, but at least I'll get some manner of closure.

It was a fruitful exercise, even if its biggest take away was just how tremulous my memory truly is. I'm quite concerned how weak my connection to my own history has become. Beyond that, it felt like some overdue accounting. It took me a couple days to remember when the last one was. The irony is that it was not even my own memory at all that gave me the first answer, but a story I was told by my friend, who had seen me (blackout drunk) talking to a girl in the backyard of a house party I had not been invited to. Even funnier than that is the fact I was so drunk I probably couldn't even tell she was a girl- she would have been just a vague humanoid shape by that time of night. I wasn't sure if it counted. But I think I have the dates settled.
I am 23 years old. Excluding family members, service workers and the girlfriends of my friends, I have not spoken to a girl my own age in 11 months, when Michael's girlfriend brought a friend (female) to Jason's pre-drink. She asked me what I studied while we both waited to use the bathroom which was occupied by Jason doing coke.
If the house party backyard incident counts, then it has been 7 months.

Today, on the break between classes, a qt classmate sat by my side and started some small talk. After a while, she said it was really hot and that she could drink a beer. "Me too", I said, with no money on my pockets. Then she said "let's drink? Now?" I said to her that I didn't have any money and she said "don't worry" and we got up and went to buy some beer at the bar next to the Uni. On our way, a friend of hers saw us and we all went to the bar togheter. We drank our beer really fast and went back to class, where she was smilling and letting her stuff fall on the floor everytime I looked at her. She has such a beautiful smile and I have a crush on her since the day I saw her for the first time. The thing is: she has a boyfriend, but he lives in another city and they only see eachother on the weekneds. I looked up his profile on FB and he looked like such a dork lol. Anyway, I know this probably means nothing, but I can't stop thinking she was interested in me and that if that girl didn't followed us maybe something could have happened? Idk. I'm going to ask her to go drink some beer with me tomorrow again.

"Silence! I demand from you, divine creatures, from high to low, offspring of Heimdal. Allfather, you want me to tell all about the oldest stories of our ancient past."

I've been thinking a lot about this piece of text lately. I tried to break it down into little bits and pieces, and so far, I've started to analyse the first sentence, which is really the "Silence!" part. This part is very significant. It tells us to stop everything that we're currently doing and start listening to this text. Furthermore, the fact that this is shouted is also very significant. It informs us about the noise that our lives are engulfed in. This text is a sort of hinge that all the following hangs on. It signifies a break with the past, and is therefore also of great spiritual significance. It forces the reader to silence his inner noise as well as his outer noise, to fully commit himself to this text, which is the first and foremost meaning of this first line. I hope to extract more meanings from this first line, as I feel that this text is teeming with spiritual significance

What is the inner phenomenological content of aging? I often try to remember how I felt when I was younger. It's at times a futile exercise because visceral memory is quite lacking--we can only clearly remember the abstract outlines of the past. I remember times of power or times of great sadness, and everything in between. What I remember distinctly however is the *potency* of these sensations. Also their abundance--as I get older my emotionally heightened episodes seem to be more and more spaced out, divided and cooled by expanses of reason. Youth is marked by an intensity of sensation, in some part dictated by the novelty of it. There's more too it however, as the machinery of youthful physiology functions with a greater level of acuteness. This can be maintained to some degree by diet and exercise and lack of overt trauma to the system, but it's inevitable that it will change eventually.

What I miss most about my younger self despite his possession of flaws I have since rid myself of is his exploratory nature. The very thing I have attempted to subdue, willfulness, to subordinate to adult rationality, is the one thing I am harmed for lacking. And exactly what my youth was lacking was the opposite, cool headed reason.
Reading and studying did nothing to teach me it; I could perceive it intellectually but not experience it. Understandably, my frontal lobes were not yet completed.
The one thing I have lost from getting older is not the changes in my body or appearance, or anything of the sort. It's the loss of a love for the world. There's a term Weltschmerz, for the perception or sympathy with the pain of the world, but there is no corresponding Weltliebe. However that was something like what I had when I was at my cutest and most idealistic. It was essentially curiosity, and while I'm still curious, it has been honed into a practical edge rather than wide-ranging and limitless.

I want to know if these traits we display at different times in life are contingent to that state of maturation or not. For instance the so called critical period for learning a language in childhood. Is this pattern of activity strictly impossible for adults, or is it just dormant or inhibited?

Just finished the very rough first pass at a short story. Feels good to complete something even if needs a ton of work yet. I'm also very happy to have got into a mode of writing regularly. I was very disillusioned with the whole thing for a while, but eventually I realized I was really just sick of forcing myself to write "literary" stories instead of just writing what I wanted. I also feel a lot better mentally going to bed each day having created something, even if it's just 500 more words that will probably never be read.

The rate of neurogenesis is accelerated in youth. This manifests itself in two factors: learnability (the ability to pick new skills up quickly) but also instability. For instance the activation of the endocrine system in puberty is in large part to accelerate the growth and development of brain structures in addiction to the activation of secondary sex characteristics.

There is a phenomenological inner content to this experience of neural growth, which we experience as the fluidity and dynamism of youth. However the defect in this process is that it implies a lack of a solidified operating mechanism, it is inherently chaotic and error-prone. The trade of nomative adult brain function is the accumulation of experience in part by being exposed to these less than fatal errors.

We have barely any knowledge about how to constructively boost neurogenesis in the adult brain. Indeed, the main function of neurogenesis is the construct the mature brain. It is certain that genetically these particular steps only run once in a lifetime.

But if were possible to fake it, or engineer it otherwise, so that we could stimulate growth in the linguistic centers to accelerate learning a new language or whatever that would change human life forever. If we could correct our defects by targeted nano-electrostimulation, or by activation of hormones, or any other means, then we'd be facing the prospect of designer selves. But then what would become of what differentiates us?

Neuro-prosthetics are in an early state. Despite the establishment of proof of concept the state of the art is far removed from an implementation that can program the brain. Everything that makes up a person's mind is ultimately embodied in a distinct structure of connectivity of various brain parts, on the most detailed level the synapses.

We normally develop these connections either through genetics or by experience, but what if were possible to operate on them directly using technology? The idea of being able to control the synapse connections to produce a given result is inconceivable given today's level of technology. It would require extraordinarily advanced nanotechnology at the least. All we can do is crudely influence the larger, relatively more straightforward neurons to fire or not fire. How could it then ever be possible to encode knowledge or other traits into the brain mechanically?

I could imagine some kind of futuristic programming language for brain states, but even if we had the software programmable, actually operating on the hardware to instantiate it would not be easy.
The brain itself is a stochastic system, it's firing batters are not strictly regular, repeatable, or predictable. Therefore it does not function like any other programmable computer.

>> No.14081676

>>14081641
This just leads me to believe that who we become in life is ultimately up to chance. Even given the same inputs over again, the brain would behave at least slightly or even very differently. In fact, the complete response profile of the entire brain at that moment would never end in the same result twice. At that moment an uncertainty principle was active, that made certain synaptic behaviors adjust in a unique way. All these trillions of connections can't be coaxed into the same state again. There is just too much complexity for there to be strictly deterministic (exactly repeatable and predictable) outputs.

Everytime I think I hit rock bottom, I find out there is even more further below it. I feel like such a waste of a person, I've lost the will to live. No one cares about me as a person, only as a thing: a provider, an object to convert, a punching bag, a wageslave. I don't think I've ever truly felt loved or accepted as a person, and not just a slot to be filled. My parents say I need to devote my self to a cause bigger than myself, mainly their religion but I doubt that they are able to do that themselves and are just repeating a trite soundbite they've heard. They say that but then go and convince themselves that the entire universe and everything in it is basically like them, they look up into the night sky and see themselves reflected back. The cause greater than themselves is utterly concerned with them and their church friends in particular, the only reason God hasn't ended the world is for them and their 500 friends to be saved. It's utter narcissism, but they get to walk around smug and pitying everyone they meet.

I'm only 23 now but I feel ancient. Young love is out of my reach now, my body is disintegrating, everyone I know is passing me up and I just don't care. I'm not going to be able to achieve any of my goals, everything left is a consolation prize. And not even good ones at that.

I basically think about killing myself every day. I have a plan, all I need to do is execute it. I want to buy a gun just to have so I know that I can leave anytime I want. That probably won't be soon, but it isn't far away either. I hate my body and my face. Everything about it, I'm hyperconscious of it's every feature. I hate being who I am, and the role I was born into.

I wish I could free and soft, graceful and lithe. Beautiful. I wish I could love my body and want to take care of it. I wish I could love and loved in return, that people would miss me when I was away and look forward to seeing me. I wish I could matter

What lubricates the engine of our modern capitalist society is hope. What we're witnessing now is the increasingly bleak outlook of younger generations. Wages are stagnate, the price of many common goods continues to increase, class mobility is joke in many modern cities. In Winston Salem, a town near me, no one has climned out of the lower income neighborhoods in almost twenty years. If you are born poor, you die poor, and so do your children. People are less likely to believe that they are a stone's throw away from becoming the man at the top than they were thirty years ago. They are having to wrestle with the idea that their children will not be better off than they are, if they can ever afford to stop working long enough to have any. This isn't sustainable, but what is? I'm not a fucking commie but what hope is there for change?

Why the fuck did I just read a job listing for a position that pays 29k a year that requires a bachelors and 2 years of working experience? Yo that's whack as shit.

Thinking about the "folk song":

It's raining, it's pouring
The old man is snoring
He went to bed and bumped his head
And didn't get up in the morning

Wikipedia says the earliest version of this song, complete with the line about the old man's accident, came some time between 1914 and 1939 in the United States. Why does America need folklore like this? What impulse caused the song to be created? Songs about death, accidents, killings are always the blood of folklore. But here's a song where the death means nothing and is from nothing and for nothing. Death from sleeping. And such a mocking repetitive tune.

The man was shot in the hip. A police vehicle crashed into a concrete barrier blocking the road, and smoke rose from the burning car. Firefighters battled the flames to try and control the blaze.

"The officers are trying to make people get out of the way of them as quickly as possible because they are getting heavy, heavy fire," said Sgt. Jeff Ducey of the Seattle police fire department.

Sgt. Ducey said officers and bystanders were putting out the fires that were "literally everywhere" and putting others at risk by trying to break the barrier. A man with a gun, who was holding it on one fire, had been holed up inside the police vehicle.

Two police officers were treated for injuries. Two others got medical treatment, and there were no fatalities, Sgt. Ducey said.

The man was taken to Harborview Medical Center, where he died a short time later, an autopsy determined.

The driver, who was found in jail Tuesday afternoon, was being treated for "mental health issues that were not under control"

It was over for me in the second grade. My parents were getting divorced and I was pulled out of class to talk to a psychiatrist. I don’t recall what she asked me or how I answered. But that is when I shut down emotionally. I could never handle criticism or rejection. But to be left by your mother is the ultimate rejection. I couldn’t risk any more emotional attachments. To be attached is to risk detachment, rejection. It’s when I became unlovable and unloving.

It wasn’t just the divorce. She left the country. She left behind a phone that was programmed to dial her new line in Germany by speed dial. There was also a packet of stamped and addressed air mail envelopes so we could write (this was the early 90s). I don’t think I ever called or wrote.

At night I’d weep to a crumpled picture of my mother that I’d found in the attic and kept under my pillow.

I replay these scenes in my mind during my philosophical moments, when I’m walking the half mile to my car after work late at night, silent except for cicadas and the asphalt crunching under my shoes. I wince at the final scene, when I was rejected the only time I reached out for love as a teen. It was the younger sister of my brother’s girlfriend. I sensed she was similarly damaged and would be sympathetic. What a fool I was.

She came by my desk today to wash her mug in the sink. She was more well dressed than usual, which made me nervous she had a date tonight. My coworkers all happened to be at their desks. So if I spoke to her, they’d hear. I felt a lump rise in my throat and my face color, as if my body pitied me and wanted to spare me the rejection. It did. I sat red-faced and half-paralyzed as she left the kitchen.

It's come to the end of the year again, and I've two exams away from finishing my second year of uni. With two to go though, I'm really for the first time considering what the fuck I'm even doing. Having school placement this semester really makes me reconsider whether I could even be a good teacher or not, and still maintain my true personality. It's soo weird coming from having an extremely neurotic, depressed mother, and a father that thrives in lively social settings and is never anxious. I feel like I'm simultaneously both these things and can't be purely one or purely the other, but as a school teacher, it's heavily based on your confidence, ability to regularly discipline and maintain power over the kids, when I just what to be quiet and friendly with them.

I don't even know what I'm going to do with my Japanese knowledge either because from my experience so far, Japanese people are just awkward or really stand offish. The fuck am I gonna do lol..spent a good part of the last two years and probably like $5k on learning Japanese...mmmm I need some time off to try and think about what I want in life yet again and what I could do with my qualities. I don't whether it's this time of year but I've been feeling really down about things. There's nothing I'm really looking forward to....which makes me think of that line in Sense and Sensibility "that sanguine expectation of happiness which is happiness itself" and I can definitely say that I don't have much to look forward to right now. I just need to write more and think my way into a more optimistic point of view, and try and find good things about where I am, what I've come from, and where I'm going.

I can't help but be distrustful of other people, or maybe it's a persecution complex that I have. I always feel as if I need to prove myself to my friends, or that they're always trying to one-up me, and so on forth. If I let my guard down for just a second, they'll make me realize how much of a shit-fuck failure I am and how my life is going nowhere and how much better they have it. To be honest, I have it pretty good compared to most people: going to a nice university with expenses paid by the state, 30 minutes away from home, with a normal family. But it's still not enough for me, I just want to have it all. I feel as if he's condescending to me whenever they talk about something I have little knowledge of. I want someone to confide in and hold. I also want them to turn on the heater because it's colder than usual today, I can barely work under these conditions.

I sometimes hate how some people ask me why I read. To be meaningfully entertained, to intellectually grow, to make use of the retard brain I have, to become a better writer. Fucking retards. Why do you watch anime then, faggot? Watch what you want, but having this false sense of superiority for watching anime of all things is ridiculous (also I'm well aware I'm coming across as somewhat hypocritical here, but I'm just angry rn).

On this: my mind is torn between: a) making them understand that anime, for the most part, is meagre base entertainment addiction which demands most nothing from the viewer, or b) just letting them be which means they might continue to be a brainlet and never grow. What must I do here? My mind is always caught at what the right act to do is.

try farm work. you can even volunteer for lodging and food, this way you really can stop thinking and do your job - which will be useful to others, unlike wasting space but in the army.
it's also much calmer, military almost always only enhances your mental disorders. mindless farm work allows you to learn order without as much stress.

I didn't notice this at large.

You can see three things: 1. You can see in nature the history of matter; for example how mountains grew over centuries and so on; like a geologist would see nature. 2. You can see in nature the history of people; for example how they used the space that they found and how they in turned were shaped by it; like a historian would see nature. 3. You can see yourself in nature; like an artist would see nature.

All nature has a feeling: woods, fields, brooks
Are life eternal: and in silence they
Speak happiness beyond the reach of books;
There's nothing mortal in them; their decay
Is the green life of change; to pass away
And come again in blooms revivified.
Its birth was heaven, eternal it its stay,
And with the sun and moon shall still abide
Beneath their day and night and heaven wide.

My desire for medication to cure what ailed me almost matched my desire for friends and a woman who wasn’t bad repulsed by my existence.

The problem with chemical treatments for depression is that they artificially regulate brain chemistry to mimic the profile of someone with a healthy, fulfilled life.

Love, for example, on one level of description is a particular circuit, neurochemical algorithm. There are steps to falling in love organically, a series of experiences with another person and a corresponding set of brain states. If one could take a pill for love, the sensation of it, would it be, philosophically speaking, actual love? Analogously one can say the same for chemically induced contentment.

Look around at your life. The same problems are there, the same defects that made you unhappy. They are still there. Pills can't change that. They can't teach you new behaviors. That's why pharmacological treatments of depression ultimately fail. You will eventually need to up the dosage to feel the same way, and then again. Constant titration in order to produce the same simulacrum of happiness.

Not him, but I'd like your thoughts on my situation. I have rough anxiety, and I used to take paxil and venlafaxine (both low dosages, admittedly) for a couple years. I was then off for a year or so but now again feel the anxiety and concomitant weakness. So what are my courses or action, if I want to keep meds away? Accept that constitution is prone to nerves, and thus reduce environments that stress me out OR somehow strengthen my mind to minimize the anxiety? If the latter, I don't know how to achieve that.

I feel like I ended up living the same reality I wanted to avoid. I now am living a life I totally didn't want to live.

Alone. Depressed. Addicted. I am good at my work and I suppose that's why life doesn't suck as much as it should given my Psychological condition.

I really was happiest when I was in love. But it's been years since I even entertained the idea of dating. I have been a daily smoker for the past decade. I tried to quit this summer and I made.it past 70 days. And life too got better. But I still longed for human companionship.

Life seems to be harder for me. Things that come easily to others seem to look impossible to me.

One thing I have always loved was books. I was reading Thomas Pynchon and I was well within the book. But last week I realized that all the books, and the Philosophy I'm trying to read is only something I want to fill my own emptiness. I read every Philosopher thinking that this book will make me realize what life is all about. I have always been waiting to know what life is all about. I was reading Pynchon for the same reason. That it would fundamentally shatter my conceptual metaphors. But nothing happened, it was just a story at the end of the day. With a special emphasis on duality based thinking.

I have not given up though. Now is the time to live for something great. I say fuck it, let's break my own barriers. Perhaps relationships do lead to a long and meaningful life. But that is not something I have. So I'll just go ahead and make the best of my loneliness.

If only I could quit marijuana and also feel the high.

It's clearly obvious that both of us are not retarded. Okay, I'll be respectful from here onwards.

The motivation that people have is to understand the views of a Philosopher. Reading is much more than reading a book, there is research involved, criticisms to understand etc. SEP gives you a good overview.

Trust me, I too like an erudite reading experience. But seldom do books present a balanced view. An introductory text is always a good way to start approaching any Philosophical idea or author.

But maybe you are a genius. Perhaps my suggestions don't apply to overmen like you.

I signed up at a catsitting agency this summer. I really didn't think anything would come out of it; why would they book me, the faceless stranger, instead of any one else? I put it off for the longest time.
And it turns out to be the greatest fun. In several ways beside the spending of time with kitties. I got to meet such interesting characters, that I'd honestly love to hang with in real life, stepped foot into the fanciest places and had access to well-conducted libraries. I just came home from a first meet-up with new clients and they were good fun. We joked around and they were super nice and grateful.

Well said. Here's how Yi Fu Tuan put the same idea in Topophilia:

>Sir Kenneth Clark, the art historian, underlined the ephemerality of visual pleasure when he said, "I fancy that one cannot enjoy a pure esthetic sensation (so-called) for longer than one can enjoy the smell of an orange, which in my case is less than two minutes." What Kenneth Clark says of art appreciation is equally true in the appreciation of scenery. However intense, it is fleeting unless one's eyes are kept to it for some other reason, either the recall of historical events that hallowed the scene or recall of its underlying reality in geology and structure.

>On the importance of the historical association, F. L. Lucas wrote:
>The first time I saw the cloud-topped mountain ridges of Acroceraunia from the Adriatic, or the Leucadian Promontory white with sun and storm, or Hymettus, purpled with sunset, from the Saronic Sea, was something intenser even than poetry. But the same shapes and colors would not have seemed the same in New Zealand or the Rockies. Half their transfigured splendour came from the poetry of two thousand years before, or the memory of that other sunset on Hymettus when the hemlock was brought to Socrates.
