Hes not for most people, like many brilliant minds. If you cant understand or relate, its easier to just knock him.

He's right about talent, genius, and luck. It's all about being at the right place at the right time. But I've never been at the right place at the right time. Heck, when my ship finally does come in I'll be at the train station. If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.

Try something; just choose to look at your life as being lucky, rather than either succeeding or failing, instead look for how you can learn from anything that happens to you. This way you are always lucky, because you can grow and have success from every pain or failure.

I don't think he was "broken" as you write in your description...

If you think he was broken, as you said in your description then you do not understand.

Maybe this is why people like Bukowski whose parents were not native English speakers and peoples like the Irish who had their language removed, are more free thinkers more of a fresh canvas.

i find second language useful for that but most folks can learn one and prob should.

I want to say what I know about this man I have loved for years. I know his father was fond of the American expression, "Well shit fire and save matches!". That's actually the only one thing I know about Bukowski and I just made it up. His father should have been fond of saying that phrase while walking past his son into the living room to establish dominance at the big chair. I don't know Chuck talked about that a couple of times, of helping things happen or not getting in the way of what should have been. This guy angers me to no end, "WHY TRY" man you don't write that! You keep that to yourself. I never understood it. He always got up for work at the P.O for what 25 years? I'm sure in his rambling days he was up early, hungover and angry with the rest of em waiting outside the labor joint. I can't remember, he wrote about I should know but my angle is that he was no fluff. He was *always* trying. The line was the thing but Bukowski never had to try at writing. He just needed enough time and space when he was younger to be able to not try and to hopefully let his genius work itself out the way he was hoping. Anyway that's a lot of trying up and down the years. So I don't get it, it must be a prank. Another absurdist 20th century art failure, the tomb that asks the Sphinx to hand over it's notebook. I mean c'mon, even the failtrolls need to TRY HARDER.

I've read most of Hank's works, SCREAMS FROM THE BALCONY a particular favorite for the raw look into his mind thinking and writing at that time, but I never understood the "don't try" and now that you explain it of course it makes perfect sense. It's exactly like how I tell someone "try harder" knowing they will never make it up that hill but at least I won't have to watch them climb it. "Fail harder" is a good one too, if one is doing a bit of trolling on KZread.

Hey boys that thing in the screen is only Charles Bukwoski who accepted a clean shirt a few days before, so He's trying to answer his mission with the journalist encouraged by.

...in your little opinion...

Don't take him literally. If you do, you basically have to become a cynic, alcoholic and depressed person. I'm not saying that Bukowski isn't "objectively" right about the general view on contemporary life, but just think twice before you listen to him as an advisor and be prepared to become pretty unhappy.

you must be unhappy before you can be free. change means discomfort. whether you want to be in such a state or not is entirely up to you, but id rather be alcoholic & depressed than "normal" (& still really depressed deep down). also you dont have to be a cynic just because you think like this. ive found being very lonely and depressed and then not caring what others think about me has enabled me to care more for them now. its enabled me to stop faking when i really dont give a shit. to actually be real with people. because thats how you actually care.

People like him are a crutch for people already broken by society and it's actions. One can only hope that anyone listening to him hoping to gain insight in a world they helped create due to their ignorance but always had a safety net with financial family support etc. This people should experience unhappiness like the rest of us.

@@oharryc "You must be unhappy before you can be free." Children are happy because they live a life of delusion. Once they get a bit older, life gets real. They can choose to continue living a life of delusion, as many people do; or they can choose to accept reality, ground themselves in truth, then live a true life of contentment after dealing with the initial grief of reality.

The strongest men reject God and drown themselves in booze, is that it? Anyone can do without God who is content to be a degenerate wretch. To eschew God and still be a good man - that takes strength, or something more than strength; integrity. But if you cannot do that, don't fool yourself. Seek God, rather than jaundiced, drunken oblivion.
