I thought of a rule to hopefully make it a fun challenge in English while keeping it natural.
Will you play with me sushi?

1. The word posted must start with the letter that the last word ended with. "Girl -> Lounge"
In this case, lets call L the "Bridge Letter".

2. Besides the Bridge Letter, the word posted may NOT contain any letters that the previous word had.
"Lounge -> Easy" is allowed, because there are no shared letters besides E.
"Lounge -> Egg" is not allowed, because there is a G in both "lounge" and "egg"

3. The word must be a single English word

4. The word must not have been said previously

Let's start with…

This is NOT a suicide/euthanasia thread. Death was once an ever present part of life, in all its beauty and all its horror. Our ancestors lived with the ever present threat of death, from the butchering of livestock to accidents, the death of elderly family members, even public executions. For us moderns, death is something we like to ignore. Except for Hollywood movies and video games and internet gore, we do not see it. We don’t think about it. As scientific means have extended life, witnessing death and dying is no longer common place for us. So we conceal death, pretend we’re not dying, try not to think about it, and when people do die unexpectedly its scandalous.

Once, we would have ended our lives on our deathbed surrounded by family and friends. Today, your end of life is more likely to be a sterile white hospital or hospice surrounded by strangers in medical gear and masks. Scientific medicine extends life, but maybe it allows us to cheapen it too? We’d rather extend our lives artificially in medical facilities, even if it means a wretched existence, than die peacefully in dignity at home.

There is a Japanese tradition about dying beautifully, Sufi sages and Buddhist monks call upon us to die before we die, to make peace with death. So sushi how would you like to die? What would you want your end to look like? How do you come to terms with your mortality? What do you want to accomplish before you go?

I used to think this way frequently as well. I would fantasize about being attacked and stabbed in the middle of the night, sometimes I would even go out late just to feel the thrill… I don't do it so much anymore. Sometimes when I am stressed out about things, I like to imagine the worst imaginable happening to my loved ones and how I'd kill myself to deal with the tragedy. This thought is numbing to me, sometimes it makes me cry and leave me feeling empty and warm. It's comfy. Speaking of comfy, I like the feeling of bleeding and I wonder sometimes what bleeding to death would feel like. Suicide in a bathtub has always seemed so comfy to me, but I feel sorry for whoever will clean up so it will probably never happen.
I'm not sure what I want to achieve in life. I feel ashamed that I don't know myself very well.

There are no shortage of otaku sites but where can I discuss traditional Japanese and Chinese culture? I wanna discuss jidaigeki period films, shunga art, poetry, Shintoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, the Edo period, Journey to the West and games/movies/manga/anime related to it. Japanese culture boards are virtually all otaku orientated and the same pop culture focus gets tiring after a while. I don't even know much about this stuff but I wish I did and not in a dumb new agey way.

If you want a "light" introduction to the development of tea ceremony and the wabi-sabi aesthetic in Japan, Hyouge Mono provides a good overview. It's historical fiction set in the Sengoku era so it's got the usual warlords and battles you'd expect in that kind of story, but the focus is more on tea ceremony and the influence of the tea master Sen no Rikyuu (also known as Sen no Soueki) on promoting wabi-sabi aesthetics among the ruling class.

Perhaps it was successful because of the scarcity introduced by the wars, but I think it's interesting how tea ceremony shifted from shows of wealth to simply drinking tea with common but aesthetically pleasing tools and decorations.

 No.22138

I am usually the odd one out in these sites because I am a China weeb and I'm not that interested in Japan.
Most recently I had been reading about the debates between taoists and buddhists for state favour in the time of the Six Dynasties, aka the Northern and Southern Dynasties (220 bce - 589 ad). It was during this time when daoism began it's life as a religious movement, not from the "philosophical" kind usually associated with the Daodejing 道德經, but with a religious sect of a deified Laozi 老子 with it's primary scripture being the Taiping Jing 太平經.
During this era, daoism and buddhism, just being introduced from india, entered in contact with one another and transformed each other through competition in the absence of an imperial philosophy such as had been Confucianism for the past 400 years with the Han 漢 dynasty.
Not a lot of people discuss much chinese culture about these places.

Maybe it wasn't just scarcity but the fact you could suddenly loose everything? Thanks for the recc. I've only known Okakura Tenshin's book which is modern but was still enjoyable. I heard Heidegger plagiarized it.

Where's a good place to start with Chinese metaphysics? I feel like the language barrier is a huge issue with Chinese culture. Where do you even begin? I wonder what a full classical education was like in old China. What would have been the essential reads and essential stuff to learn?

 No.22142

>>22139
>Where's a good place to start with Chinese metaphysics?
To begin I would always recommend the daodejing. My own interest is with the yijing 易經, which is probably the richest in cosmological interpretations, but it's a very difficult text (not a book but a divnination manual). If I can suggest a book, Robin Wang's book Yinyang is imo a good introduction to a fundamental concept in chinese cosmology.
>I wonder what a full classical education was like in old China. What would have been the essential reads and essential stuff to learn?
Confucianism was, for the most part of Chinese history, the official imperial doctrine, as such there was a Confucian csushi roll that is now known as the Four Books and Five Classics 四書五經, I don't remember all of them, but they include Confucius's 孔子 Analects 論語, the Book of Poetry 詩經, which is a compilation of 300 poems from all over what was then the middle kingdom, that is the yellow river and yangzi drain basins.
In the imperial examination exams, people had to make a "thesis" of sort, which could be, for example, some exegesis on the analects or the yijing, or write poetry in the style of the shijing.

Yeah I got shocked literally. It wasn’t a really intense jolt but went straight to the hospital and got the all clear. But since then I’ve stopped being attracted to girls. They don’t even make me nervous anymore and I don’t glance at them. No excitement. No heart beating faster when I see them.

There were two of them, I guess.
First was my first girlfriend. It was the first time I experienced this kind of romantic love thing. It wasn't too eventful. We broke up and it hurt.
The second was with a boy, whom I first met when I was with the aforementioned girlfriend. Not too long after we broke up, I guess because I was still hurting, I diverted my attention towards this boy, and started obsessing about him.
We started going out as friends. He was aware that I liked him but I was too coward to make any move. Instead, I tried to enjoy the time we had together.
I couldn't stop thinking about him and every time we would spend time together I was the happiest I'd ever been.
Once we went to a metallica concert and he said to me, mildly annoyed, to stop buying him everything and to let him buy his own stuff for once.
We used to go to parties (he was a party boy, I'd never been like that), and we would split the moment we got there, run into each other a few times in the party, and at the end we would leave together.
Everybody would always ask me: "where is D?", because we were together all the time.
Then, one day, we were at a kind of festival, and a little bit tipsy he said to me: "We've grown so close to each other"; that's when panic kicked in, and I started drifting away from him. Not too long after he got a gf and, while we were still good friends, he would of course spend most of his time with her, and I knew then that it was over.
We never went beyond the state of being "just friends", even though he did hint at me that he was interested. But I was too young and too afraid to fuck it up, I never did anything.
He even slept in my bed once and I went to a different room because I was too shy lol.
Such is life ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How do you deal with stress sushi? I feel overwhelmed in life right now and I need to find ways to relax and take the edge off. I’m work obsessed and can’t stop myself from hitting the books. The stress gets real bad. I get headaches and wind up restless and can’t sleep. I obsess over being a sinner and being inferior. What do you do to relax?

im in the same situation sushi
i think its maybe the result of feeling unfree or dependent on someone or something, or its because of a traumatic event, idk because both things kinda happened to me but it was the trauma that really made things get really bad
my reccomendation is to just talk to people and leave the internet behind as much as you can, because talking and doing things with other people is the only thing that ever seems to help those feelings
the human brain is designed to feel uncomfortable when it cant communicate with others, its a survival mechanism
and its kind of funny, because despite all the fearmongering and self doubt i put myself through, as soon as i talk to someone in person i feel completely confident

The most embarrassing thing I've done is stayed in a relationship with a loser longer than I should have only to get dumped by them because I "demanded to much", flossing teeth daily & getting out of academic probation. It's embarrassing because I pretended it was happy in front of my friends, so I cringe when I think of telling them about all the disrespect I put up with.
