Neitzche said that the truest test of philosophy was whether or not one could live by it. Although I have difficulty explaining what my life philosophy is I know it does not work for me. I'm a fairly reserved, decent, and good person and yet I am so utterly lonely. I have friends and family but I am still so desperately alone. I have tried to find some degree of solace in asthetics, in art, in music, in poetry and literature all in the spirit of schopenhauer; I have tried to drown and smoke it away with alcohol and drugs in the true spirit of the hedonist. I admit they work but they are all so temporary. So I suppose it wouldn't hurt to put it to you all. What works for you? Where is my soulmate? I want to live in Arcadia. I want a job where i can work with my hands and I want to die with a smile on my face clasped in her embrace. I'm still a little drunk...
