I watch lots of cat videos but I don't eat enough at all.

i'd like to be smothered in the breasts of 50 beautiful women and then have my meat ground and used in a pasta sauce

>>22153
what about the rest of the body?

>>21339
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.

>>22173
Everybody has an unconscious desire for death. Its just more notciable for some people.

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.

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.

>>22135
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.

>>22138
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?

>>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.

Are there any good books on the Ikko Ikki?

>>22079
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.

>>22080
> It wasn’t a really intense jolt
Could you describe it further? I wonder if it's possible for me to become like you by following your steps.

>>22084
Sushi electricity really hurts unless the current is high and you get burned to a crisp instantly. You really really don’t wanna get shocked. Even small shocks cause damage to your heart.

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)_/¯

>>22122
at least I got nice digits for my failed love story.
In fact, it seems like my whole life is full of such stories where I cowardly sabotage myself from love. Almost every single time.

>>22093
How so? Not enough people to annoy?

>>22100
