"I ran across him again, quite by chance, after twenty-five years.
Unchanged, intact, fresher than ever, he actually seems to have retreated toward adolescence.
Where has he been hiding, and what has he done to escape the action of the years, to avoid our wrinkles and grimaces?
And how has he lived, if in fact he has lived at all? Actually, a ghost.
He must have cheated, he has not performed his duty as a living man, not played the game.
A ghost, yes, and a gate-crasher.
I discern no sign of destruction on his countenance, none of those marks which testify that one is a real being, an individual and not an apparition.
What can I say to him? I feel awkward, embarrassed, even afraid.
So greatly are we upset by anyone who escapes time, or merely deceives it."

- Emil Cioran, "The Trouble With Being Born", Chapter 4 [ 65 }


I have read the book recently, since i haven´t posted in a while, this is the best first post i can make off this moment.
Still NEETing as always! Aspire...

Indeed.
Also, i´m still waiting for the full English translation of Mainlander´s Philosophy of Redemption, there´s a subreddit with that topic in mind.

It might look like that at first glance, but if he's not a Chad but an incel, then life would take a toll on him in other sinister ways. His mental state is crippled beyond repair. Being a NEET doesn't guarantee a youthful appearance if you're wallowing in depression and suicidal thoughts most of your days. It ages you in a different way.
Insomnia alone destroys one´s quality of life, it´s about as much as years of starving for validation causing depression.
He did write that "a book is a suicide post-poned" as reference to his suffering.

His writings were not just an outcome of his view of the world, but for people like us to read aswell.
It´s a form of validating the struggle through another, making it at least a little bit more tolerable.
