“Never blame the man: his hard-pressed
Ancestors formed him: the other anthropoid apes were safe
In the great southern rain-forest and hardly changed
In a million years: but the race of man was made
By shock and agony…
… a wound was made in the brain
When life became too hard, and has never healed.
It is there that they learned trembling religion and blood-
sacrifice,
It is there that they learned to butcher beasts and to slaughter
men,
And hate the world.”
Have you guys heard about Robinson Jeffers(guyt at the pic and the author of the poem above)?

no but that poem is the shit
>>
>>9653236
I like the sentiment, but is this the original format, with those line breaks? I don't get poetry.
>>
In praise of feeling bad about yourself.
The buzzard never says it is to blame.
The panther wouldn't know what scruples mean.
When the piranha strikes it feels no shame.
If snakes had hands, they's claim their hands were clean.
A jackal doesn't understand remorse.
Lions and lice don't waver in their course.
Why should they, when they know they're right?
Though hearts of killer whales weigh a ton,
In every other way they're light.
On this third planet of the sun, among the signs of bestiality
A clear conscience is Number One.

I'm gonna write a book and it'll be a good book and get published. I'm posting this because I want to create pressure for myself to write constantly. I'm not writing as much as I can and I haven't told anyone I'm writing. I'm telling you this because one of you is going to respond and say some dumb shit, but even the dumb shit is motivational. So please, talk to me so I can tell you about how my book will be better than any idea you've ever had.

Stupid question: is it viable to buy a book in its original language, and try to read it by comparing it to an english pdf and google translate?
I am looking to buy Dante's Divine Comedy with Gustave Dore's illustrations (mainly for illustrations), and i was wondering if i could learn italian as well.

The more you read, you better get a notebook to jot things down because you won't remember that much but everytime I get to the desk, open the notebook and then I am screaming internally.
Basically, journaling freaks me out, I always perfer reading on my bed with music and tea.
So how to get into journaling?Is there any strategy about journaling?

1. Open journal.
2. Write.
3. Repeat.

Organize your thoughts.

give yourself a reason to write:
a nice notebook
a nice fountain pen (or a comfy pen in general)
nice ink
oh, and this too: https://www.selfauthoring.com/

You'd probably do best to just start with reading on mindfulness and practicing mindfulness meditation

If you practice 12 hours a day learning the most practical vocabulary and enough grammar to conversate. Take my advice and try to speak whatever you do. Learn a lot of words and literally speak all fucking day in Hungarian.

I'm talking long-form writing without starting my own blog. There's a lot of half-thought Leftist pseudo-journalism out there and I would like to begin to balance it with well-thought Centrist/Rightwing/Statism articles.
