Why bother writing, or reading, it will all amount to nothing. I hoard books as though I will ever read them, knowing I will not, and I write knowing that at the peak of my ability I amount only to mediocrity. There's no point to it, or to anything. Art, love, money, it amounts to nothing. We're all just waiting to one day rot. It would have been better to have never been.

Why not kill yourself? I’m not saying to the mean but as a genuine question.

Like if I was watching a movie I really hated I’d just leave it.

Let me elaborate; I think you are a faggot for namedropping the title of a book, in a literature forum, meanwhile the thesis of your post that you wrote is that writing and reading is useless. either you are a hypocrite or inexorably confused. god i hate nihilism. what a dog shit post. cool pic tho.

>>25346029
I'm a coward is why.
>>25346037
I eat decently and workout consistently.

>>25346042
... Gonna be perfectly honest with you, I wrote what I wrote without realizing there was a book titled that.
>>
>>25346045
I think you, and I’m gonna assume you’re not trolling, would be better suited with a therapist than here.

Try to address why you think that things would have to last forever / be perfect to have value. I don’t really buy that anymore premise

I believe you are lying faggot but ill give you the benefit of the doubt and say that if this is true then try putting aside your retard-tier nihilism that reading is useless because it just is ok and go actually read the book and think deeply about the conclusions and implications if it really is better never to have been and what to do now that this is clearly a foregone conclusion. hint: nihilism and optimism suffer from horseshoe theory and both are retarded, there is a middle way

Delude yourself into believing in something greater than yourself, study the religions before throwing them out the window.
You either become mad and gain God, or become miserable and stay rational.

Speak for yourself. I write because I have a genius for it, and I read to enhance my genius.
>>
>>25345999
Ok so can I have your stuff please?
>>
>>25345971
I enjoy it, and pleasure is the sole reason to do anything at all
>>
>>25347109
I don’t think OPs mentality is less mad than being religious

>>25345971
Doctrine of Awakening will help you

>>25345971
Learn to take comfort in the fact that it all amounts to nothing. You pretty much just have to fill your time with shit you enjoy. The best thing you can do is contribute to humanity or help others, other than that just enjoy your time the best you can without hurting people

You've had your first encounter with the absurd.

Everyone who has gotten deep into it has already concluded that wishing for non-existence/topping yourself is for wussies. Most recommend that you just enjoy existence for what it is, not worrying about it leading anywhere. An alternative is believing in God or an equivalent higher power.

If you search for 'the absurd' you should be able to find some appealing literature to help you through this.
