Hello anons, I am here to give you young anons a sincere warning regarding pessimistic literature. Please don't ruin your life after reading pessimistic literature. Please try to achieve your goals and build a life. Don't take this ink on the page seriously enough to ruin your life.
Let me tell you a funny fact: most of successful pessimistic authors(even the obscure ones) were from rich families. In their time they well regarded, well educated, well published with careers, friends, families and female partners.
>Thomas Ligotti who larps as the most miserable author alive is a literally peguin classics published author with a bram stoker lifetime achievement award. In his youth he was crazy for critical acclaim and he read everything. He spends 6 years of his youth trying to perfect the craft of story writing
>Thomas Bernhard wrote extreme pessimistic novels but he was a highly cultured man with big and wide circle. He lived a luxury bougie life and had disdain of mediocrity.
>Emil Cioran was also from an upper class family. Again an extremely well learned man who was active in literary circles in both Romania and France. Never worked in his life which was his goal so he calculated his whole life to achieved that goal. He is extremely well regarded in France and actually won awards for his book. He was friends with many literary giants. A life well lived.
>Zapffe was from a wealthy who lived a very aristocratic life. He too was highly cultured, wrote his Law thesis in verse. He was a first rate mountain climber all his life.
>Schopenhauer was from a wealthy family who didn't work a single day in his whole life. He too was a highly cultured, learned and ambitious man.
I can go on and on but you get the gist.
Please don't try to imitate the losers that they describe in their literature. Please don't romanticize suffering. Please take your ambition seriously and try to take smaller steps towards them. Please read Schopenhauer's Wisdom of Life or Baltasar Gracian's The Art of Worldly Wisdom if you need guidance in life.
Take care of yourselves as best as you can.
