    I read this in hs and was captivated. I haven't read it in over a decade but after watching this video, I will definitely be rereading. Great assessment.

    If a demon asked you if you wanted to live your life over again the only correct response considering zero sum game theory would be yes. A better more equal question would be, would you rather live to 100 once or 50 twice.

    You know when you read a book and it perfectly articulates strange, half-ashamed, secret feelings you've had for years? And then it guides you through those feelings, and suddenly, the way you see the world is completely different? That's how this book was for me. One of my absolute favorite books of all time.

    I’m just taking us one day at it time. I think you’ll surprise me one day. It’ll be the day I look like absolute crap.

    This reminds me of Helpmeet by Naben Ruthnum, in which the attached lover becomes carer – with supernatural element. Quite a short read (200 pages?) I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts on it.

    I read this book a couple of years ago, and as much as I am interested in existential themes, this book just didn't click with me. I forced myself to finish it, but it is one of my worst reads ever. Repulsive and overrated, imo as an eastern european.

    I remember trying to read this in high school, the concept totally eluded me. I wondered why he had to write about sex and women to get his point across. Now that I'm older I understand the absurdity.

    "Think lightly of yourself and deeply of the world". This single precept from the Dokkōdō resolves the paradox of the novel by demanding an acceptance of one's own transience while maintaining an absolute, rigorous commitment to reality and duty. One does not have to choose between being a feather or a stone when they have a Path to walk. ⚔
