The Trouble With Being Born by E.M. Cioran
funny
fast-paced
3.0
edgelord cioran. cringe cioran.
every single one of these aphorisms are thought already held by a sevely mentally ill 11 year old girl.
I read this when i first started dating my girlfriend. I'd brush my teeth first and go to bed, hunting for a silly aphorism to make her laugh when she came to bed. For this reason alone i'll probably pick up more of ciorans work.
some of our faves include:
Everything that is engenders, sooner or later, nightmares. Let us try, therefore, to invent something better than being.
For the victim of anxiety, there is no difference between success and fiasco. His reaction to one is the same as to the other: both trouble him equally.
Years without coffee, without alcohol, without tobacco ... Luckily, there is anxiety, which usefully replaces the strongest stimulants.
(((((((((((((((birth is a curse and existence is a prison and death is the best we can hope for and the worst thing that could ever be thought of is eternal life, satre refuses to answer my emails, they think im silly, its probably because im not really french, like come on guys i said the thing, existence is the worst thing that ever happened, growing old is immoral, but now that im old i no longer agree, come on guys im cool i promise))))))))))))))))
