OP pic looks familiar
I am unsatisfied with my life, and I see no actions i can take that will make me happier.
>>25551934Why yes, it's the famous character Brunnhilde from the Richard Wagner opera Die Walkure (she also features in the later two parts of the Ring cycle, Siegfried and Gotterdammerung). You must be a fellow Wagner enthusiast!
>>25551933Hmm, I see a different perspective. Have you read The Bridge by the poet Hart Crane? Rather than reject the modern world, the idea should be to embrace it, and find spirituality in and write poetry about new technologies and manmade structures. Forget the old "I found God taking a stroll through the woods" and instead find God in colossal glass skyscrapers and an endless abundance of servers in data farms.
>>25551934
>>25551943It's been a few months, chill.
>>25551935Read books. Enter into a fresh romance. Find a new job. Try therapy.
>>25551942I haven't, but it sounds interesting. I just God's omnipresence as evident in every expression of reality, including some deranged madman scarfing down his own shit, which I certainly don't see as necessarily "beautiful," just one of the many things God does for reasons I will likely never understand.
>>25551946i'm creating things instead of reading atm.i have not seen or met anyone i've been attracted to in years.i'm working on this part, but the economy has been royally fucked my entire adult life. i haven't found a good therapist, and I don't want to pay out of pocket.
>>25551945Two months. What happened to “I won’t do it again”? You need a new hobby.
>>25551935tried heroin?
>>25551954I have done drugs, and i'm of the opinion that I don't deserve to feel good unless I accomplish something and feel good as a natural consequence. but heroin specifically, no. i'm not responsive to opioids or opiates.
>>25551951isn’t the point of religion that you don’t see Him in every other stupid thing? sort of like how the most atheist cities in the world (eg paris) have the most fortune-tellers and astrologers. chesterton said ‘if you don’t believe in god you’ll believe in anything’.
I will try to contribute, but my mind is actually blank *collapses in stupor*
>>25551960My perspective isn't necessarily religious, just the logical conclusion of pantheism.
is it the same one anon whose using the *asterisks to signify action* RP thing in these threads? why? not sure if he’s from reddit or habbo hotel.
>>25551963
>>25551964*rapes you till the heat death of the universe*
>>25551966yeah that’s funny
>>25551965
>>25551967I didn't come up with it or anything
>>25551968ahh good to be back on the literature board.
>>25551966I can think of several better places to use * for rp purposes than here. Doing it here must be possibly the worse place to do it. Naturally I must assume you are writing that to ragebait and being a weirdo retard on purpose.
>>25551954There is no more heroin. It’s all fent now.
>>25551957tried making yourself semi-permanent resident OP of these threads?
>>25551975I'm too overworked at my dayjob to make a new thread regularly.
>>25551970I don't know. A screenplay is basically just words on paper, written by a writer, so I really don't see it as anything different than appreciating a Shakespearian play.
>>25551979no screenplay contains all the editing, directing, lighting, and sound decisions necessary to actually make a movie.
>>25551985I don't think any of those qualities can be necessarily quoted.
>>25551928Brünnhilde! The classic. How many times this cat been the cover for WWOYM/WYT
>>25551979which is why we generally consider movie quotes to be literature. well-established. because they’re words on paper.
>>25551989if you thought just the quote were sufficient to make your point, you would have typed it. instead, you posted a still image of the movie because the quote, in addition to the context of the movie, the tone of the actor and the subsequent actions were better to make your point.
>>25551991once or twice
>>25551992"I didn't quote Macbeth the play, I quoted Macbeth the book.">>25551994That's somewhat more fair, but all of that could've been expressed through the context of the quote itself. I just decided to post an image of the movie because it's basically a meme, and I'm on 4chan.
>>25552005>”I didn’t quote think you’re confusing things more. >it’s basically a meme*literature
>>25552016>think you're confusing things more.I'm not.>*literature You're right. I forgot that /lit/ is too dignified to use memes. Please forgive the faux pas and allow to me to post again at some point.
>>25552026in response to a poem? no yeah fair play. >I’m notu r
>>25551928What was Johnathan Bowden's sex life like? He seemed pretty out there, and the modern right is drowned out with lukewarm puritans now. Bowden, though? Now that was a true eccentric if there ever was one, and I need to reawaken his energy through psychosexual means.
>>25552030>in response to a poem?I don't see how you can rationally give a shit, because it still demonstrates point that the poem you provided is very colorful and articulate, and I can appreciate that, but it doesn't amount to anything more than another perspective to me. Do you quote Nietzsche to give some trivial impression of intellectual merit? That's stupid.>u r No u.
>>25552037yeah the ‘ahh good to be back on the literature board’ was just a wink & a nudge at the level of patter round here (found it particularly jarring after all the gods omnipresence talk). you’re the one who felt to need to be humourless in the recourse & then i lowered myself to the occasion & here we are.
>>25552041Oh, my mistake then. I'm sure you can see how the quote in isolation could be misinterpreted in that way.
>>25552042to be honest i don’t really see how someone could read it with a straight face but i’ll take an exit from this conversation any way i can get it.
>>25552044Sounds good. Later.
