Utterly baffling. Watching ignoramuses form cargo cults around antiquated pop culture is morbidly fascinating. What will be the next banal entertainment to suddenly be treated as high culture? Sudoku? Jigsaw puzzles? Dirtbike rallies?

This was made by some low attention span coomer who cant bring himself to do all the things on the left. Put "talk 2 women" on the other side and this is completely accurate. You can talk and flirt with girls without lowering yourself to be a common degenerate

OP's point (in case you still havent caught on and under the assumption that OP understood the image he posted) was that those wholesome activities on the left are not done for their purported purpose but instead as an elaborate cope by people who cant talk to women. Or similarly by a person who is a bingewatching, rap music enjoying coomer who's trying to justify his lifestyle by insinuating those who do better (i.e. follow the advice on the left) cant talk to girls. Thats the spirit of the image anyway. And flirting as a term is so out of date with the whore-ish crowd that its become innocent again

The Bible, anything by Plato, the Church Fathers. Also make sure to get some exercise, eat right, and spend some time outside, just reading books alone isn't going to nurture your soul and make you a better version of yourself.

Have you ever thought about your soul can it be saved?
Or perhaps you think that when you're dead you just stay in your grave
Is God just a thought within your head or is he a part of you?
Is Christ just a name that you read in a book when you were in school?

When you think about death do you lose your breath or do you keep your cool?
Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope do you think he's a fool?
Well I have seen the truth, yes I've seen the light and I've changed my ways
And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and scared at the end of our days

Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say
If they knew you believe in God above?
They should realize before they criticize
That God is the only way to love

Is your mind so small that you have to fall
In with the pack wherever they run
Will you still sneer when death is near
And say they may as well worship the sun?

I think it was true it was people like you that crucified Christ
I think it is sad the opinion you had was the only one voiced
Will you be so sure when your day is near, say you don't believe?
You had the chance but you turned it down, now you can't retrieve

Perhaps you'll think before you say that God is dead and gone
Open your eyes, just realize that he's the one
The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate
Or will you still jeer at all you hear, yes I think it's too late
