The Heron is a symbol of patience, wisdom and solitude Edition

Aiiieeee! I am injured by your preference.

I shot and killed a Blue Heron as child. I still feel.nad about it.

>>25081425
From the age of six I had a passion for copying the form of things and since the age of fifty I have published many drawings, yet of all I drew by my seventieth year there is nothing worth taking into account. At seventy-three years I partly understood the structure of animals, birds, insects and fishes, and the life of grasses and plants. And so, at eighty-six I shall progress further; at ninety I shall even further penetrate their secret meaning, and by one hundred I shall perhaps truly have reached the level of the marvelous and divine. When I am one hundred and ten, each dot, each line will possess a life of its own.

Gyms lack aesthetic, hard to grasp why such an activity of vitality is surrounded with such a dead aesthetic; the gym feel aesthetically so purely functional, very industrial, which makes you feel like a cog, acting with habits stronger than yourself, serving as a means to some uncomprehensible higher end. All that to say I workout at home now, and really don't crave taking back a subscription.

(I am European)

Despite all the nice prospects of low taxes and a better job market in the US of A, there's still something that bothers me when I daydream of moving there, something in the culture, in the American Character. The American Character lacks some seriousness and the beauty that comes with it, they brightfully insist on their liberty but don't know what to do with it, they just funnel it towards hedonism or utilitarianism. I am attracted to the seriousness and the romantic of Europeans, even though they funnel it towards delusions of equality, towards humanitarianism and bureaucratic stagnation :/

Trump is a good embodiment of what I mean, a free soul who eats burgers, and intervenes in the rest of the world to get oil and export burgers, that's the dream Americans project.

And so, when I assess where I can be happy, when I assess good market vs some undescribable attractive emotions towards my old continent, I find that my drive directs me to stay, maybe it's just my laziness and this is all a bad rationalization for me not wanting to move.

Any authors who speak of the American character? Or maybe the differences between Anglo, French and German characters?

If Judaism is the vice of Protestantism, Gnosticism the vice of Eastern Orthodoxy, then the vice of Catholics is Paganism.

>>25081542
Paganism is cool tho.

I hate the USA so much it's unreal. God willing I will live to see the American empire implode and the rest of the world finally free from its grasp.

Well, their 'vice' in-so-far as grappling with the contradictions between the old and new testaments they tend to err in one direction more than another.
Protestants attempt to integrate more the old Testament, the orthodox reject it entirely..Catholics side-step this issue by making scripture exclusive (at least up until recently), with the emergenc eof a parallel catholic that cares much more about miracles, Mary, and the Saints than about Jesus Christ being the trade-off.
I don't have a problem with it, imo.
>>
>>25081588
Mary's pretty recent, like scripture readings in vernacular recent
The trade off before was the virgins all seeing Jesus and Him being in love with them (eg anorexics with foreskin wedding rings) Mary appearing to that pope kind of calmed down the amount of crucifix desecrations

not in buddhism apparently

I don’t think you’re happy.

>>25081574
You hate us because you ain't us.

>>25081469
Good one

Nobody will ever read my books
>>
>>25081606
Is it tht recent? If you said it was from the 19th century I would get it. But the thing was already well established by the mid 20th century.
Even then, the marian and saintly veneration thing is well attested.

>>25081425
I feel so much physical pain, tired and constantly harassed that I'll die a failure because masonic semites are brown.

I wish I could write about love in my novel but I can't feel it from the amount of suffering I constant feel that romantic love feels like some childish wish like being an astronaut or wanting to dig a dinosaur out of the ground.
>>
I have decided. I can take the inane cruelty of mankind no longer; I will make my way to B&Q tomorrow afternoon and purchase some rope, which I will proceed to use to take my life.
>>
>>25081669
Yeah, her assumption is like 1950, and the immaculate conception was only like 1850s. That's why there's all the Marian miracles and moving statues around the 60s and 70s, same as what happens with Lourdes, Knock and Fatima just after the immaculate conception became dogmatic

Symbols mirror the souls, and I see what I want to see.

When I present symbols and ascribe them meaning it's like when I present a word and define it in place, or present Art I like, that latter already having meaning scattered in its branches: I merely want to present my soul and lead by way of showing my perspectives, same as one would lead by example in the realm of actions

I've often thought that one of the advantages of Art, besides being able to depict abstract ideas in a more graspable state, was that it gave men a way to interact with ideas seemingly independently, meaning that they could evaluate their ideas against a self-consistent reality, that art piece, without feeling like they're being spoon-fed some memes, as it is often felt when you hear someone teaching you, giving you advice, telling you things. Death of the Author is very important, but it makes Art all the more insidious, so many mind treat Art as reality, and argue for Art and with solely Art in mind instead of Reality; To carve itself an existence Art must borrow and destroy Reality, It must take things for itself to support its existence through time and space, art remains a representation of ideas, and an idea stuck in time as it is cannot hold a full truth, so it is the same for art.

Art and The Ideal Realm really stand in contest to reality, as we make them they tend to grow and want more to sustain their existence, but they eat their growth at our expense, that's when we, as their creators, must take back what is ours and turn those back into tools for our lives, recognize their appealing forms, but also their total lack of dynamism; A song, a story, or a movie is no more dynamic than a statue, or a painting, these former are always self-repeating capsules, that began and ended an infinity of times already, while Life must be attacked with the imprecision of novel movements every day.

i really enjoy the symbolism of cocaine, it's the ego/vanity drug, and how do you do it? off a mirror. the most literal drug paraphernalia going. you’re looking straight at yourself. caught in the act. and what’s the tool of choice? a rolled-up banknote. little straw of capitalism. cocaine is money. it’s expensive. you’re snorting the idea of wealth through the reality of it.

>>25081198
among other things. I own several thousand dollars in silicone at this point
Genuinely I don't know if I was actually gay/bi all along or if I kinda just went over the cliff of porn escalation and became too deranged to care anymore
>>
Kpop is simple yet treacherous. I understand it: bunch of hot girls singing a catchy song while making cute/sexy dances, but it's the bare minimum amount of sexy, like they want to give you the expectation of imminent goon without actually making you goon, cause if they did make anything more erotic then you'd just goon and it would end there. it would be just softcore porn. but this way you get a drip of microgoon, the goon that happens in the mind before the goon of the hand, and that's what makes you simp and that's how you get crazy idol retards
stay away from kpop it's devilish

If this post represents your typical writing style then I think you should be careful to edit and trim down your suicide note.
