>I don't want to read a whole book
I can find the error of your ways in this one simple sentence.
Every day has about 16 living hours. Books are investments of time. You compare the benefits and costs and came to a conclusion that the knowledge derived from this book of M.Heidegger, that will literally remain in my brain for a lifetime and teach me, is not benefit enough for the cost of 3 hours of reading.

Sorry, what will you write?

But seriously, I like Matthew 5:10 ~ "Blessed are they which are persecuted
for righteousness' sake: for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

"Last night I go out with my friends to a local bar, nothing too special. We're drinking, catching up, having a good time when a group of younger handsome guys approach us and start up a conversation. It was fun, a bit flirty, but definitely lighthearted and harmless. Anyway it was getting late, around 11 P.M. so I decided to head out and get a cab home (most of my friends were single so they decided to stay a bit longer). One of the guys accompanied me out and we talked a bit outside, and he suggested I go home with him. I don't know what came over me, but at that moment the only thing I could think about was how attractive he was. It's like I completely disregarded my husband and daughter when I was around him. I wasn't super drunk, I definitely knew what was going on. I started following him to his car and was actually close to getting in but then reality hit me again and I felt so terrible."

""We are 5 months after the discovery. We are in a REALLY weird spot because she is still in her home country enjoying free rehab, and she is also trying to not be in married relationship. So I guess we are separated but dating exclusively. But she has been fighting against telling him no contact, and asks me to trust that nothing more is going on between them. I don't have any good reason to trust her.

I have concluded she was scooped up by a sociopath in a moment of enormous weakness.

Traits he has:

PREDATORIAL: His self-described nickname is Wolf. Yes, like a 10 year old would call himself.
CHARISMA: I saw this when I first met him. So did a friend, who he hit on after my wife told him no more.
HUGE EGO: He would send her countless pictures of him with his shirt off via email, email her things he was writing about for work. He is involved in a sport where he interferes with peoples successes by not helping them, particularly if it would upstage his success.
OVERLY ATTENTIVE: In the peak of the affair, was sending her 2-3 emails a day, plus texts. One friend says he's territorial while he's hanging out with her. Another said he was *always* the first person to volunteer to do something for her.
SHIFTS BLAME: Said to my wife, "I never expected this to happen, I wouldn't have pursued you if I had known your husband." Yet at the same time, he emailed to her that he wrote in a diary how excited he was when she broke up with an ex and before she met me.
NO GUILT: Has never apologized to anyone.
NO BOUNDARIES: Continues to call and email her despite her telling him to stop
LIES: Completely overexagerates his sporting accomplishments, among other things.
INTENSE EYE CONTACT: Check
FAST MOVING: He said she was his soul mate and true love in about 3 weeks after they started the affair. Continually said he loved her unconditionally, loved her because she was herself, etc. At one point, after he first told her that, she came to me and said "I just want to feel like I can be loved unconditionally -- that I can just be me." I don't know what that even means, because that's why I love her. She was just regurgitating his words.
PITY PLAY: Used the tragic death of his ex girlfriend to generate pity. Even emailed my wife recently while she asked for no contact talking about how he visited his ex's grave. My wife says "I needed empathy, and he was lonely because of his girlfriend's death. We were both in a really bad place when this happens."
INTELLIGENT: Yes, unfortunately.
POETIC: Extremely poetic. Some of his emails to her almost don't make sense. He managed to get her to write him back poems too, which she has never done. She doesn't even like poetry!
JEKYLL HYDE: She said "no more contact" in a public place, and he began to cry. He was angry with everyone he saw. People were blown away at how weird he was acting."

He concludes with "What do I do?"

FUCK YOU FAGGOT

Yes. Every single time. Why would anyone not do this?

>>9201832
It breaks the flow. Especially if there is around 60-70 notes for a 20-page chapter and half of those are referring to some random archives

>>9201846
Just reread the book after you finish it the first time.

I twould probably be more helpful to see a psychiatrist, OP.

>>9201554
No fuck that, psychiatry is for the weak and the useless.
What cured my depression single-handedly was reading collections of essays from countless writers to feel a sense of companionship and it eventually blossomed into me changing my perspective on just about everything. The first step is knowing that you truly are not alone.

If a depressed person starts reading they will most definitely kill themselves.

You know.. comedies exist

Much like life...

>>9201504
Yeah, shame how life always ends on a sad note.

Don't give up. Don't pander. And most importantly: don't give up

>>9201458
Thank you. That was actually really nice.

>>9201455
Have some one read the stuff you are writing, they are always better judges than yourself

Example this post: >>9201335

Because your brain is wired for irony as a consequence of the age we live in.
Writing Don Quixote in the 20th century wouldn't make it as much of a masterpiece as it did back in the day. People CAN write like Shakespeare today by imitating him, but it wouldn't have much value as real Shakespeare. Every tempora needs new mores. You are probably only imitating writers you've read during your lifetime. Some people never find their voice, because they are stuck imitating. I think it's a special gift some writers have to be able to write like no one ever before them. Just read a lot. Study theory of literature. Avoid cliches, and remember that everything is a cliche. I don't know anon, it ain't easy a writer's craft.

You use humor to avoid confronting your feelings.

You could get an unsympathetic overview. But there seems to be a whole context to Evola. There was a bunch of intellectuals running around believing that the West needed a spiritual revival in the form of a new religion.

>>9201152
Nah, since Evola reestablishes old traditions and ideas, he either isolates and defines them on his own terms or you can easily look them up without any 'historical baggage' applied. But I'm sure some would disagree. idk, it's really only select thinkers and writers who require genealogical perspective, not all of them.

>>9201152
Your therapists notes would be a good start

>>9201101
None, you have to be intelligent to be an intellectual - or at least dupe academe into thinking so.

>or at least dupe academe into thinking so.

And why in the fuck would you drop the former to do the latter?

Everyone can become more intelligent, as long as they don't have a condition. And don't even try to pull out the "being stupid is the condition OP has" bullshit.

If you don't try you cannot improve. Trying in itself makes you more than you were before.

He didn't even love tennis that much, he was just kind of good at it as a youth and you take IJ as "tennis book" + DFW having played tennis IRL and conclude your dumbass conclusion

>>9201026

I'm afraid I'll never love anything at all

>>9200648
I'd go to the '60s and drop acid with Timothy Leary to some Beatles records, maybe ride the bus with that one dude in Across the Universe. Or the '80s, I'd love to go to the disco right as Michael Jackson was blowing up.
