I am taking this class because: It gives me an outlet, I suppose. I've had so many convoluted thoughts these past few months.
My favorite book is:Jenseits von Gut und Böse, Friedrich Nietzsche.
Death is: Inevitable. All things were born to die, and life is merely the path of torment that leads up to the eternal hereafter. If the Everlasting had not fixed His canon against self-slaughter, I'm sure that there would be many more people skipping the accursed process of living all together.
Love is: An illusion. There is no "love". The pre-ordained romantic tendencies that one can claim exists between two people are nothing more than pleasant lies meant to cover the coarse truth. All that exists is the mindless sexual desire between people that cause them to give into their beast-like urges without consideration for social connections or the effects on others.
The soul is: That immortal thing within our being which gives us self-knowledge and perspective. It is a terrible thing to have a soul, for the acknowledgment of why we do what we do is what raises us above the ignorant animals that do but by will, and never suffer grief or guilt or trauma to which human beings are prone.
My opinion on the similarities and differences between Theodore Geisel (pen name Dr. Seuss) and Ernest Hemingway (pen name Ernest Hemingway), especially as pertaining to the post-post-post-post-post modernist literary movement is: They both base their writing on the utter meaningless of life and the ways to cope with the truth of reality. Seuss decides that the real world is so pain-filled and crushing that he must create imaginary worlds filled with nonsensical verse and improbable situations so as to find as an escapist solution. Hemingway sees the real world as crushing man's desires, so he filters his perspectives on it through his Id in order to create a new reality with a semblance of order.
