What does one read when you do not need answers or escape anymore? Is reading futile at this stage?

>> No.16240774

Who reads for answers? What do you learn? I just like words.

What does one do when they've finished gardening everything? Is gardening futile?

Good point. I guess i‘m not used to this yet. Maybe i asked out of habit, in case there was something i missed.

Cook good food and have amazing sex i guess. Gardening is never futile unless you deem eating and thus living futile. Which it isn‘t.

There aren't any answers because there aren't any questions.

You read to ask questions, different, more penetrating, more articulate, more critical.

Books for this feel?

>> No.16241101

>>16240768
I feel like I still read and occasionally "coonsume" now because it makes me feel less alone. Be it directly through philosophy or through the stories/aesthetics they present, when they're able to tap into the way I've been feeling, I feel more clam knowing that I'm not alone with certain thoughts.
