Hmm, l feel like Travis in the taxi driver

Wittgenstein May 11, 2022 at 09:37 1150 views 1 comments



Or maximus ( after getting fu*ked by life ) but l am no gladiator. I am of no use to myself or society. Except l don't feel like Travis either. Couldn't care less about society and its problems, not my concern but it has its role in worsening my miserable condition. Philosophy is/was my cope. I thought l was improving myself and the world with philosophy but it's all a facade. Who cares what we have to say, what we think ???

Replace my clearly thought philosophical paragraphs with schizo rambling and it remains the same in character

I'm stupid to quote movie characters here but whatever...

Things like engaging in philosophical discourse could only work intrinsically. Do not reach out for the external satisfaction of your torment. Accept it and live with it. That's the only way you could "win". I'd say courage is a virtue even in a losing battle.

I'm too much of an asshole to let torment like that bother me. (not that I have what you have)
