    He learned french when he was 26. Before starting to write in french he already wrote books in Romanian. The same about Ionesco, before being acknowledged as french writer, he had already been reknown in Romania as a poet and a writer.
    By the way, when Cioran was touched by Alzheimer's disease he spoke only Romanian, French was erased from his memory by the disease.

    I have decided to start working on the subtitles of the other Cioran documentary (the one in French) again. For those of you who have requested it a long time ago, I finally have the proper equipment to do it. It will be uploaded on my channel soon. Also, I remember DerivedEnergy requesting it, so part of the motivation to do it is for him . . . I hope he will get to see it in the near future.

    Contrary to common opinion, Cioran is NOT a depressing company, on the contrary, his writings are an explosion, like Nietzsche, Cioran too was a "dynamite". He inserted poetry in prose. I made a book review on his first work, On The Heights of Despair. I propose the idea that this is NOT a depressing book, but rather a serenade to life. I will soon post a clip in which I will explain his concept of suicide as a way to protect his freedom.
    And I also talk, in the end, about how Cioran helped me with my suicidal thoughts. It is because of him that I am still alive today. We're talking about a writer who fell in love when he was 75 years old (Friedgard Thoma, 35 years at that time), a writer who loved life and regreted not being a musician, nor, at least, as he rather puts it in his journal/notebooks (1957-1972), a poet.
    "Eternal poetry without words" (Cioran)

    Well, I'm reading Cioran now, what can I say, he was an extremely self-aware human being, or maybe that is what it takes to be human? He says he doesn't care? Oh but he cares so much and maybe that also is a prerequisite for a true human being. So how can a human being dwell in this world of hate, greed, pride, fear and not turn into a beast driven by ancient instincts of survival? Well he can, but then he will resemble Cioran himself, destined to cry out his thoughts as an act of repentance for the whole humanity or as he explains it for therapeutic reasons.

    • @lepetitchat123

      This is why I don't get Buddhism. Teaching people to be self-aware but not the logical consequences of being so. Buddhists should adopt antinatalism, but they don't. Dalai lama is nothing but a optimism figurehead. What a walking contradiction.

    • @ennuied
      @ennuied 7 років тому +8

      Dalai lama is a poor example of Buddhist philosophy and discipline. I have turned away from the likes of him and Cioran and found better models of human entities. Like Jiddu Krishnamurti, Terence McKenna or Carl Jung. My new found attribute for a human being is the will for self exploration, because when you can see yourself you can see others and you can truly connect and stop being violent. It is this blindfold of ignorance that causes us to break and shake everything in the "room" and disrespect the long-established, ego-less beauty which is the balance.

    The best comment I ever found about Cioran:
    ”Le fameux Roumain exilé ose, selon ses dires, tirer les conclusions ultimes de ses raisonnements. Ainsi, que je sois d’accord ou non avec l’aboutissement de sa pensée, Cioran m’a mené si loin dans l’angoissant et l’irrespirable qu’il m’a aidé à surmonter au moins en partie ma crainte et ma désolation devant le constat dont j’ai fait part. Dire que j’ai surmonté cette crainte est quelque peu prétentieux. C’est plutôt un recul considérable que j’ai acquis, qui ne doit pas être entendu au sens habituel du terme, mais plutôt comme une plongée tellement à pic dans le sujet redoutable et ses menaces que j’ai comme traversé un miroir. Cette traversée m’a fait surgir dans une dimension nouvelle où certains paramètres sont inversés, et qui me permettent, conservant en même temps mon ancien point de vue, de scruter mon objet par devant et par derrière en même temps. Cioran a don d’ubiquité dans les royaumes du Mal et il enseigne assez bien comment l’apercevoir le mieux possible. Étrange sérénité, n’est-ce pas? Ai-je besoin de préciser qu’elle n’est pas totale, mais suffisante pour vivre sans se torturer l’esprit toujours? On pourrait presque parler de désintoxication grâce à une surdose excessive.
    Bien que considéré sombre et négatif, Cioran est peut-être l’un des penseurs modernes (ou post-modernes, selon les catégories utilisées) les plus digérables. Il est difficile d’en expliquer la raison et ce n’était pas non plus le but de mon texte. Néanmoins, une partie de la réponse se trouve déjà ici et une autre ne peut être qu’extraite des écrits eux-mêmes, avec lesquels il faut discuter.” (Mathieu Gauvin, Université Laval - Révue Phares - Volume 3, hiver 2003)
