Trail of Blood Manga & the Philosophy of Emil Cioran

- Reading the Romanian philosopher Emil Cioran (specifically his 'The Trouble With Being Born' and 'A Short History of Decay') at the same time I decided to read Trail of Blood was such great timing!
Both works evoke horrors (and truths) like you’ve never imagined before.
The Trail of Blood manga is about a deeply disturbed bond between mother and son. It’s unsettling and a powerful portrayal of trauma, neglect, mental illness, and so much more.
The works of Emil Cioran, on the other hand, complement the very essence of the existential dread and despair that we know all too well. It’s dark, gritty, and provocative. The kind of philosophy that you’ll probably never stop thinking about.
Both are must-reads!

Thanks ayesha for bringing up Cioran's work that i have been procrastinating for quite sometime. The underlined lines that you read reminded me of an another pessimistic but funny quote, "Life is a disease transmitted by sex and always only ends with death" by the philosopher Zizek.
Zizek believes in chimeras like Progress and Socialism. He's is just another academic hack.
Thank you very much. Picking up short history of decay.
Enjoy! 🙂🙃
I'm a simple man:
I see Cioran, I click
😒
Thanks for such crisp & intriguing aspects of the philosopher
Love to order suggested reads .
Wonderful! My pleasure. :)
Thankyou for sharing your thoughts
Thanks for watching! :)
Cioran was right, existence is awful. Not a day goes by that I don't wish I hadn't been born.
Try spirituality
@@deepakarya3085 Tried it. Still wish I hadn't been born.
Bro try concept of amor fati...it helps me
That's hard then.
I suggested because it helped me
Even I suffered from such thoughts
Won't say everything has stopped but yes the frequency has decreased.

Yes I know what you mean, it's really tough. But then we read Cioran, Schopenhauer, Camus, Nietzsche, etc. and it feels a little comforting to know that "that" feeling is more common than we think. That "that" feeling is as normal as any other. That "that" feeling of dread, hopelessness, helplessness is not be got rid of, because maybe some of us can't shake it off.
"Since we cannot change reality, let us change the eyes which see reality..."
Thank you so much for this video. Every time I see people talk about this manga, they just say it’s about abuse. And obviously there’s abuse in the story. But if that was the only point, it could have ended way earlier… There was a lot in there and I’m glad someone is talking about it.
I really love the fact that both of you actually discuss every book/author in depth instead of just recommending any of the book ❤
Very unique and makes me feel very satisfied/ motivated to read more ❤
P.S. Include your cats 🥹
~ Fellow book and cat person 😊
Thank you so much. Lots of hugs and love from both of us, and from our cats. 🥰❤️
The latter shall make an appearance soon. 👀
Can’t find “trail of blood” is it the same as blood on the tracks? Thanks and great video
I am romanian! I love the manga! And i intend to read Ciora in the near future.
Dope content
I donno what I'm doing here but Thanks for the daily dose of existential crisis
I agree with you that cioeran s writings can be uncomfortable and sometimes I don't understand them . I readed his book The trouble with being born . I like that this man is honest but I first had some suicidal thoughts because he reveals my darkest thoughts and feelings..but at the end I just get into it.esistence can be terrifying .hope I die soon .thank youuu
Just discovered your channel and really loving your content.
Glad youre covering some of the "not happy" philosophers. Cioran is barely a philosopher. Almost more of a poet or aphorist or...something? He's hard to classify. I feel like his insomnia is a big piece of understanding his perspective and overall mood.
Thank you so much. :):)
Cioran, one of the not-so-happy philosophers indeed. But yeah, I see what you mean... that Cioran is barely a philosopher; these are his aphorisms after all.
What's the best abd cheapest place to access manga in Delhi? Please suggest. Loved your recommendations :)
I feel confused....while reading emil.....but ...later....it connects really.....in a very unexpected and bizzare way.....😅.....perfect blue.....😂😢😅😢..man.....
Could you do in the future a video on Maitrei by Mircea Eliade?
That one's been on my TBR you know, will get to it soon. :)
@@ReadADayClub nice!
Any si fi recommendations....thanks
I'm going to be picking up 20th Century Boys this week; read and heard a lot of great stuff about this sci-fi manga series.
@@ReadADayClubyo I have a q.....after reading stuff...u know how people are ...all twisted fake sadist narcissist etc etc...now u know them......then how u treat them😢
And one more thing then I feel superior....I don't even want to talk to them.......😅I even feel disgusted...... ultimately it isolate me in my mind to the level ..that....if I m with people or alone ..I almost feel same .....I don't know how it sounds.........and worst.......I also care about them.... ..I don't want to even feel bad....it just become complex and complex
Bro read Eden in an endless world.... enjoy
@@ReadADayClub great
Putini te inteleg, Maestre. 🇷🇴
He was too bleak even for Beckett, as recounted in his biography.
I think you would be interested in reading _The Last Messiah_ by Peter Wessel Zapffe. It's not a book but an essay. But it's also a very pessimistic work.
Oh yes my sister just recently mentioned this to me. She's reading Thomas Ligotti's The Conspiracy Against the Human Race and Zapffe comes up a lot in that.
Thanks for the recommendation though, and thanks for watching the video. 😃
@@ReadADayClub So cool. Would be great to see a video about Ligotti's and Zapffe's works.
