>my sister journal
>memorabilia (such as train and concert tickets) glued everywhere, lots of meaningless quotes by minor social network celebrities and descriptions of her social gathering
>my journal
>5900 pages of despair, clinical depression and legit autism
Both journals are equally worthless.

Hello /lit/,
let me start by saying that I love each and everyone of you, no exceptions. Seriously, if I could I would suck all of your dicks, so much does my love for you overflow.
Now, on to the point: do you know any work of philosophy which helps you to obtain peace of mind, serenity and an all-around "warm-and-fuzzy" feeling? I've resigned myself to the fact that I'll never find love and will die alone, due to my undesirability. Please, help a fellow anon out.
Thank you for your time. And again, I love you.

Perhaps Stirner or any other philosopher that will help you detach yourself from the notions of what society believes to be worthwhile or a good cause.
Or perhaps this sentence:
You do you, boo!
>>
>>9179920
read on buddhism and tantra if youre looking for peace of mind and serenity. warm and fuzzy feelings tho... Idk, sounds pretty alcoholic, antiphilosophic.
>>
>>9179920
Mindfulness in Plain English. Be sure to find a work on Metta/compassion meditation as well, as you'll need to balance the two.

I love you guys.
Life is short and it's ok to allow ourselves to enjoy some shitposting on /lit/ between reading periods.
Anyways, title.
Im reading an antology of short stories from Chejov.

Anna Karenina currently.
Have you read Ward no. 6?
It's definitely my favourite Chejov story

>>9179758
The Epic of Gilgamesh, Stephanie Dalley translation. I previously read the Andrew George translation and I'm quite surprised to see how different the rendering is in style and tone and even content, in some places. I wish I knew Akkadian and Sumerian because translations can be confusing.

I'll still punch the fuck out of you. It'll just be out of a sense of humanly duty rather than anger.
is this the greatest american poem of the 20th century?

Yes, considering its artistic impact.
I'd don't personally like it, however.
>>
>>9179414
It's one of the worst things ever written. I do not say that lightly either.
I even kind of like Ginsberg for antagonistic affiliation with NAMBLA. Burroughs is the only beat worth salt in terms of writing. He and Neal Cassady were the only two of the bunch truly dedicated to getting the fuck out of society and staying out permanently as well. Kerouac and to a less extent Ginsberg were just floating posers.

Hi, /lit, /pol here. What books do I have to read to stop being a hateful bigot? I am thinking specifically non-fiction books about history, politics and economics.

Dude, just give it up. People are cool. You don't need books to stop being a bigot. Just acknowledge that nothing makes you special. That other people are just as unspecial as you are.

i dont understand i read this book and its obvious kant preemtively btfo all this hegel marx netsche schnitzel heidegger existentialism and pretty much every meme philosophy there is right now
but the philosophies/phers in question only make snarky remarks or do some "hermeneutic" "reinterpretation" of him?
but the plebs is a existentialist, everything is absurd or jung-peterson psychonaut or or nihilist or egoist etc.?

He came across two burros squatting by the wall. They offered him coffee and tortilas and he took the tortillas and ate them. The tortillas were hard and acrid as if baked in the kiln of an apathetic deity who while having a dim recollection of having once had passion for the art of tortilla-making had acquiesced and given into entropy, allowing the quality of its tortillas to slacken and degrade just as said deity had allowed the world itself to wither and decay under the baleful tortilla-shaped eye of the cosmos.
He said Uno burrito grande por favor.
The burro spat and said No somos vendedores.
He spat and said Tengo hambre.
The burro spat on a tortilla and dunked the tortilla in coffee and squatted and spat and he squatted and spat on the burro spitting on the tortilla and said Have ye any more coffee and the burro spat.

>His list of those whom he calls the "good writers" -- Melville, Dostoyevsky, Faulkner -- precludes anyone who doesn't "deal with issues of life and death." Proust and Henry James don't make the cut. "I don't understand them," he says. "To me, that's not literature. A lot of writers who are considered good I consider strange."
