I remember once I saw the janitor in high school reading the trouble with being born.

He was right.

This is actually so depressing

I don’t think

Why did they draw him like a character in death note?

idk, just found this art in my downloads
It's a distinct style of the artist. here's his beckett for example

Trouble with being born was an interesting read.

Why?

his face radiates disgust, where he has wrinkles of hulling the nose, i have wrinkles of laughing too much.
Physiognomy is very true, you can read other peoples faces and make assumptions a bout their character

Bro, it is a very convenient way of thinking, but its clearly wrong
Take you for example. You are a beautiful soul with a face of a heroin addicted pedophile. Doesn't mean you are as horrible a person as you appear to be, user

Very nice. Sometimes too flowery

How is it depressing? Were you under the impression that wage workers were spared from existential struggles? Is it less depressing when it's experienced by an office worker? Lol.

I think he meant that the sheer fact that someone intelligent enough to enjoy Cioran (if he did) works as a janitor

There is even something somewhat beautiful in this. Cioran always wrote about the voluntary rejection and the futility of self-development, fame, progress, etc. and here's a janitor reading it. Tbh at some point I found that reading Cioran works as a sort of a meditation from despair, maybe the janitor also did, idk

As your post implies, such a thing is only depressing to one who values meaningless metrics such as "success."

You got me
