It is a Yiddish expression with a range of meanings!
I am often amazed by you because I see you as dedicated, with your whole being, to the most pathetic and disempowering *philosophy* that I can conceive of. You are a man totally without power. You are a totally unmanly man. You constantly invest in your weakness; you nourish and cultivate it. And then -- how disgusting this is -- you actually include in a post on a forum like this a reference to your addiction to jacking yourself off -- because this is the one pleasure you conceive yourself as having I guess.
Oy veh ist mir!
One problem that I myself notice is that you are locked into a sort of conceptual battle with Immanuel who, for you, represents 'the religious possibility'. Meaning that you have no point of comparison. But religiosity, spirituality and also mysticism and mystic relationship, all of these point to domains of experience about which Immanuel knows nothing. He cannot refer to a wider field which is part of human experience and understanding because of his obsessive, fanatic concerns and his investment.
You seem locked into either accepting all of his terms, or of rejecting them completely -- though I do recognize that you back up to a position of
agnosticism. But with you this has all the force and power of a fart into a bus seat.
A disempowered man like yourself, who invests in a pathetic self, requires a far more demanding and exigent personal philosophy and indeed a religion.
I have recently been thinking about *pits* because this is a word that Iambiguous used, a term to define where he sees himself: in a pit. He cannot get out but seems to demand that someone come along to try to get him out. But since no argument that is ever presented, or could be presented, will be accepted (his art is that of 'shooting down') he seems to desire to present his existence in a pit as unalterable.
Similarly, you have the most pathetic personal philosophy of anyone I think I have ever encountered. You live in the pit you invest in. No one can get you out, though you seem to ask for *help*, and each encounter with you is a rehearsal whereby you make it plain that you will not come out.
This is why I said that you have a 'racket' (riffing off your tennis photo). You are a con-artist with a pathetic personal tale.
Why not give up women and become a faggot? Then you'd have someone to jack off with. A win-win situation, no?
