existentialism and depression Anonymous 2017-07-23 08:37:42 Post No. 9794427 [Report]

hello /lit/. i must say that i'm fucking depressed right now. I just moved from my country to study, from a 3rd world to a western country. I found out that instead of my romantic views towards living in a new place, exploring new culture and lifestyles, it is pretty much the same. everybody is pursuing vanity to a morbid level, no conversations are held in a deeper manner than gossiping or other menial subjects, nobody with a real passion for anything, and entertainment is whoring yourself out and getting drunk on a schedule. I feel that the world around me has gone mad and i'm the only sane person left.

I guess that what i'm not the first to complain about this. the big question is, if i read on existentialism will i be better or worse off?

Keep in mind that no matter what is said what will dictate if it gets better or worse is your own interpretation of it.
A pillar of existentialism is understanding the futilness of existing and from that nothingness comes us and our being. Even though we don't need morals doesnt mean as mere beings we should understand what is good for the whole well being of us.
Existentialism is a Humanism is a good intro if you want to read into it.

Existentialism is proxy-nihilistic garbage. There is not an existentialist that does not belong on a pyre.

Nihilists like you are the 'mad' ones. You've bought into sick memes, and now that sickness is killing you.

Humanism also belongs on a pyre. It is the death of serious love and fidelity and the rise of sick ideology.

Burn those books like the icons they are! You are the vain one, you vainly love your own vanity; you are a lover of images!

existentialism is a christian philosophy so i don't really see it as being nihilistic

No it's not, even Kierkegaard was nothing more than an iconophile and Platonist. It is nothing but chic nihilism.
