Woe is me.
i too, am too afraid to take the leap of faith and throw myself off the top of a forty story building in the hope i might magically learn to fly before i hit the ground.

Why would you devote your entire life to literature?
You mean sitting around in University board meetings and discussing things which have no bearing on the world of real working people?
You mean sucking up to people who did it years before you so you can get a grant and eventually have your own cabal of suck-uppers?
Literature is ancillary to life. To make it your whole life deprives it of the necessary relational meaning
You can always devote your life to shitposting.
