“The love of artists or mystics is often "artificial." Because they find beauty in thought alone, intimacy in invention, or ecstasy in silence. They love whom they choose, not whom the outer world permits. For they do not carry the outer world within their inner world; rather, it is their inner world that holds power over the external one. Therefore, they do not love the person presented by the outer world but the one portrayed by their inner world. And that is not the person’s "real" self, but an "imagined" version of them.” LoveArtPhilosophyRomanceArtistLiteratureImaginationPerspectiveArtificialMystic Author:Sov8840

“One doesn't even inherently need to possess dreams, desires, passions, or hobbies. But these are made obligatory; that's how society "operates." It is clearly visible that many people are full of dreams, desires, passions, and hobbies, not because they are independent artists or real geniuses, but solely because the system forces them to be and they unconsciously absorb it into themselves. If that system didn't exist, they would be like barren wastelands.” ArtPhilosophyValuesSocietyAmbitionDependenceDetachmentSystemColonizationAbsorbtion Author:Sov8840

“Language is a form of performance after all, because you adapt your mind to the other side when you speak or write. You must express yourself confined within certain words and rules that are beyond your rule, or else the other side won’t understand you. But to adapt means to die—not vice versa—because the moment you consider the other mind more, you detach from your own.” MindPhilosophyLiteratureLanguageExperienceWordsAdaptationDetachmentPerformanceConfination Author:Sov8840
