      Realization and Actualization of Truth

      I feel as though this is going to quickly plummet to the depths of obscurity, but I just finished a lengthy essay and I wanted to see if anyone felt like reading and possibly commenting on it. For anyone who decides to post TL;DR, just remember I warned you ahead of time.

      The footnotes aren't included since this came out of a word document, so I'll put a list of the books I reference and anyone who cares will probably be able to figure it out;

      Buber, I and Thou
      Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus; An Absurd Reasoning
      Kosinski, Being There
      James, The Will to Believe
      Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground
      Hesse, Siddartha


      Spoiler for Realization and Utilization of Truth:

      The ability to happily respond to any adversity is the divine.

      Thumbs up Great essay

      To not leave your future up to hope and fear of what could be, but to instead decide for yourself which path to take is so true. You can hope for things to happen, but if you don't do anything yourself to try to achieve those hopes, you're much less likely to get what you hoped for.

      thats right, and often times you realize that once you act, there is no need for hope because you can create most of the conditions that you are seeking yourself.
