When did you realize that you truly are the master of your own destiny, there is no waiting for circumstances to improve. Therapy is a scam and SSRI's don't do anything. What a truly liberating feeling, this is it boys. You only have one go at life and it is time to accept, adapt and flourish.
>>24120524Yeah? What did you do with this big revelation?
>>24120524I get the value in what you're saying but I also believe that until the world is closer to how it ought to be we have a sort of duty to be sad about it.

>>24120537Reactionaries have tried to horde the Renaissance for themselves and degraded it into kitsch, but people back then really did take the concept of 'the good life' seriously, in a way that shows through in all their culture. The last time that kind of imaginative spirit animated human affairs was, to my mind, the Paris Commune.
>>24120588I've been curious about the commute but I don't know if any good literature writers as opposed to political ones were directly involved
>>24120524>Therapy is a scam and SSRI's don't do anythingIdk I did both and they helped me. Or, more accurately, I was driven by the revelation in your post to help myself and used both as a means to better myself. They're treatments, not cure-all's. The only cure is (You)r willpower and motivation.

>>24120524There's no such thing as free will. If you've become convinced there is, it's because you are the type of person to believe in it and you heard the correct things at the correct time to inform that opinion. Your thoughts arise of their own volition, and you can't even control them. Such is life.

There's obviously such a thing as free will. If you've become convinced there's not, it's because the decisions you've made have led you to a place where you feel unfulfilled, and you find a pleasure in choosing to feel helpless.
