Bildungsroman to guide youth.
The mark of Cain is one of the things that I really like about this book, it reminds me of Baudelaire's poem Abel and Cain.
If you like it then you should read Steppenwolf.

without them we would have to confront the terrifying fact that we don't understand the world and cannot change it, and so will never be satisfied.

How do you understand or reciprocate the love for a God that will throw you into hell? How do you show appreciation for a life that can terminate in ETERNAL hellfire? How is it you wouldn't rather merely not exist than potentially go to hell? How would you bring yourself to procreate knowing your children could rebel and suffer that same fate? That would demonstrate an absence of faith and a mistrust in God but I cannot help it. I've chosen celibacy because I can't understand from whence comes gratitude in all this mess.

I tried even beginning to understand this and its intractable. I mean Jesus even commands me to love myself. Well if acting as a self is what makes me so contemptible in the sight of the Lord then why would I love myself? I can't even understand this love through self-denial. How would this love be compatible with a love for God? I mean it even seems like selfhood is the mechanism of the fall (Adam and Eve realizing they were naked). I've asked too many questions and I feel like I'll never be able to go back to childlike innocence.

So I'm stuck in this situation where I've acknowledge scripture as truth but I cannot bring myself to have the totality of faith. I'm not a lukewarm Christian, I'm a COLD one.

How do I write good copypastas?
Ive realised that the main reason I come to /lit/ is im astounded by how good the copypastas are, often I find myself reading a post here and not knowing if its pasta or not, I guess the line is blurred because any pasta worthy post automatically becomes one.
I want to be able to write out those long, incredibly preposterous posts and come back after a few days and see it posted again by someone else and to chuckle knowingly at it.

Is being a terribly shit but incredibly rich author, still desperately trying to cling on to relevancy by talking like a teenager online while battling severe alcoholism brought on by knowing deep down your entire lifes "work", (if you can call that shit work) is one hundred percent absolute garbage drivel... perhaps the most pathetic thing someone can do ever? I think it might be.

Why do *people* Do These Things *Wipes Arse with book* Why?(masturbates to the thought of him laying on her death bed and realising everything he ever wrote was worthless shit) *laughs*

Jesus, what a fucking cunt.

One of the greatest writers ever. Although, I feel like you wrote way too much. His books range from being amazing to "It's okay.". You see the same themes playout in his books after time.
"It" holds a special place in my heart though.
