A stranger to our creation, subject to suffering with no causality, nostalgia acts not as a comfort, but as a reminder to our descent into decay. The antipode to our eternal.

Unlike existential philosophers of the same time, Cioran offers no solution out or away from our suffering but simply a greater explanation of our misery. Yet I’m filled with a weird sense of hope while reading.

Has my suffering been made easier or has the modulation of my misery through intellectual pursuits only reduced the banality of my dread insomuch as to provide a new depth to my position?

This book will be such a slow read only because Cioran fits so much into each section and I am determined to break it down.

“The desire to die is too logical, hence ineffective.”

Ohhh I’m excited for this one
