    Sumer is icumen in,
    Lhude sing cuccu,
    Groweth sed and bloweth med,
    And springth the wde nu;
    Sing cuccu.
    Awe bleteth after lomb,
    Lhouth after calve cu;
    Bulloc sterteth, bucke verteth,
    Murie sing cuccu.
    Cuccu, cuccu
    Wel singes thu cuccu,
    Ne swik thu naver nu.

      Unironically go outside and make friends. Too much time on the internet really fricks with your mental health.

        If it’s not written at a sixth grade reading level or if it doesn’t involve making a substantially moronic post to barrage others with, then you can not with good faith expect me to care about it. That is very inconsiderate that you can’t take time out of your day to listen to me and my moronic friends and family spew my drivel. This is such a generic criticism of others that I am not even listing specific names anymore since pretty much everyone here is a knuckle dragger and it equally applies to everyone

      1. Limit your use of internet as much as you can really
      I can attest that simply not browsing /misc/ makes you much less bitter, even if I'm still antisemitic. I'm not finding new things to hate every day

      i'd be careful following the advice other anons have posted, it's a pipeline to stoicism which is a pipeline to trooning out, i suggest reading the bible instead

        Being transgender is completely the opposite of being stoic. It's giving in to your intrusive negative thoughts and thinking you need to completely reshape yourself to be happy. A stoic would simply accept their body does not perfectly match what they want it to be and go on living their life content with the fact that it cannot truly be changed. Though I don't know why I gave a serious reply to this obvious shitpost.

      Engage in cognitive behavioral therapy. Read "Buddhism Plain and Simple" by Steve Hagen to begin meditating for 5 minutes every day. Go outside, spend less time on the internet. Find a thing you love, a hobby or passion, and through that make connections and friends. With the tools of reflection and meditation, acknowledge your ugly thoughts when they happen, but recognize that they are not what *makes* you, you don't have to engage in them or continue them, and then continue to engage in life.

      I don't know, Danny DeVito was pretty successful in Hollywood, a big popularity contest, and his wife was okay looking, despite the fact he was a weird looking, bald half midge. Maybe there is something to the idea of charisma and well-meaning.

    This book has many gems, but this is the first one that came to mind.
    It's not even my favorite, just the one I had in hand.
    “I certainly do not believe in miracles,” said Decoud, quietly. Father Corbelan shrugged his high, broad shoulders doubtfully.
    >“A sort of Frenchman—godless—a materialist,” he pronounced slowly, as if weighing the terms of a careful analysis. “Neither the son of his own country nor of any other,” he continued, thoughtfully.
    >“Scarcely human, in fact,” Decoud commented under his breath, his head at rest against the wall, his eyes gazing up at the ceiling.
    >“The victim of this faithless age,” Father Corbelan resumed in a deep but subdued voice.
    >"But of some use as a journalist"

    When you are with women, you are alone.When you are with homosexuals, you are alone.When you are with men far outside your socioeconomic class, you are alone. You will, for a majority of your life, be alone. Some people are lucky enough to find like-minded men of similar status.Those are the men that you stand by for life.

    A few selected from the Proverbs of Hell from Blake's Marriage of Heaven and Hell
    >He whose face gives no light, shall never be a star
    >Eternity is in love with the productions of time
    >The busy bee has no time for sorrow
    >The hours of folly are measur'd by the clock, but of wisdom: no clock can measure
    >No bird soars too high, if he soars with his own wings.
    >The most sublime act is to set another before you.
    >If the fool would persist in his folly he would become wise
    >Shame is Prides cloke.
    >Excess of sorrow laughs. Excess of joy weeps.
    >The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.
    >What is now proved was once, only imagin’d.
    >Always be ready to speak your mind, and a base man will avoid you.
    >Every thing possible to be believ’d is an image of truth.
    >He who has sufferd you to impose on him knows you.
    >Expect poison from the standing water.
    >Listen to the fools reproach! it is a kingly title!

      It annoys me how I keep thinking of Devil May Cry when I hear certain passages from the Marriage of Heaven and Hell, thanks to this homosexual.
      But it's still a good book, so w/e.
