You can stop struggling and fighting without being insecure and feeling sorry for yourself. Stoicism for example and many many other philosophies preach this.

This.

I read it as "Horror is dead, but I'll see what I can do"
Seems a lot more interesting, if not menacing.

>The Stormlight Archives

>“America ... has created a 'civilization' that represents an exact contradiction of the ancient European tradition. It has introduced the religion of praxis and productivity; it has put the quest for profit, great industrial production, and mechanical, visible, and quantitative achievements over any other interest. It has generated a soulless greatness of a purely technological and collective nature, lacking any background of transcendence, inner light, and true spirituality. America has [built a society where] man becomes a mere instrument of production and material productivity within a conformist social conglomerate”
- Julius Evola

Not sure if it fits here but I remember a thread a while ago about a suicide note that just said : "all this buttoning and unbuttoning."
Really stuck with me for some reason

I misread this as "Horror is dead, but I'll see what I can do." and it was way cooler, I'm disappointed now anon

>The problem for those who wait.- For a higher man in whom the solution to a problem lies asleep, strokes of luck and all sorts of unpredictable things are necessary for him to swing into action at just the right time -"for an eruption," as we could say. Ordinarily it doesnothappen, and in all the corners of the earth sit people waiting, who hardly know to what extent they are waiting, but even less that they are waiting in vain. From time to time the call to wake up, that chance which provides the "permission" for action comes too late - at a time when the best youth and power for action have already been used up in sitting still. And many a man, in the very moment he "sprang up," has found to his horror that his limbs have gone to sleep and his spirit is already too heavy! "It is too late," he says to himself, having lost faith in himself, and is now forever useless. - In the realm of the genius, could "Raphael without hands," taking that phrase in the widest sense, perhaps not be the exception but the rule?2- Genius is perhaps not really so rare, but the five hundredhandsneeded to tyrannize thekairos, "the right time," to seize chance by the forelock!
