@Heypakas I know there’s literally no chance that you’ll be reading this but I still wanted to reply. I found this chapter to be very bittersweet and relatable – I believe the point of it was to highlight the fact that when people lose purpose or sight of what’s important and they become depressed a lot of them fall to the trap of hedonism – if they can’t feel happy or fulfilled anymore at the very least they can forget about their sadness while they relish the moment to moment short term gratification in a way “hacking” their own biological programming to force themselves to feel better in the moment.
I disagree that hedonism is a healthy answer for a real human being, but there are a lot of humans that cater to their animalistic side more than they should.
The chapter was beautiful and bittersweet because it highlighted this very fact to me (which I probably read too much into tbh) and it will most likely come to the conclusion that the random bits of short term gratification amount to nothing if you don’t focus on purpose in the following chapters.
Clear the damn stage. Having random ***? Under the influence of what seems to be a mind manipulation potion? Nauseating. Plus *** with different people every night? Wonder how the author came up with this shit.
