Or how would you explian what this quote means? In your own words?


"My dear,
Find what you love and let it kill you. Let it drain from you your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness…. Let it kill you, and let it devour your remains.

For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.
Falsely yours,
Henry Charles Bukowski"

I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.

Personally I just feel it more or less is telling you you should give your all to something/someone, and die happy within/surrounded by it, than to die through fear and stagnation.

I think he is just saying to follow your passion for what you do - become absorbed, obsessed by it so you will die doing something that you love instead of looking back on life and saying "I wish I had...."flowerforyou

To understand is to comprehend, to comprehend is to know, to know is to have power. this alone does not answer my question. I know I'm attractive, I know I am smart, but I do not know why I get no results here, I received 40 hits in the last 24 hours on a pay site, all want to eet, of those three were acceptable enough to me, that attract me, to feel comfortable in public wsith, I write, I wait, I hope,I see. but I ask, why do I not get any hits on a site here, it is free has countless members, allows so much to its members for free, that has no competition, I use the same pictures of myself, yet I do not get any, not one single hit here. Yes, I do not UNDERSTAND, I do not Comprehend, I have no power, not here. I do not understand why I have such success on a pay site, one that I really do not like, but none here, on a site that I do like

Well,
This is a bit OT!
But,i've read your complaint before....and all i ask is; What exactly are you looking for?? Is it the ''hits'' or an individual??
Because,to me,it shouldnt matter where you got your''hits'' at,so long as you found what you search for!
So,
What do you search for from either site? Same thing or..??

Yes "its better to love & have lost, than never
loved at all" he's simply talking about giving it all in life, ("two feet in") 100% dedicated to
whatever.. but if one had a choose there is no
better rewards than dedicating one's self to become a union of love. To be a master of onething in life.. not to be a " jack of all trades & a master of none"

Find what you love. Then deny yourself, Become what it is that you love. Then never look back at what you were.

it means that 'mortal' death is inevitable, from the moment we are born we are headed towards it

so let us get there on the path involving what we love or who we love,, let us be 'used' up with something/someone that we love rather than letting it be a life of things we dont love,,,or people we dont love,,,,
