Gosh, its mind blowing that Kafka wrote so prolifically about endless beaurocratic nonsense. I've been dealing with some of that recently and i think its interesting that this was something people experienced 100 years ago. I love when history is reconfigured in my head as way more relatable than i thought.

Although everyone has a unique path in life and unique views, the world would be far dimmer and darker without Kafka, Hesse, Camus, Arthur Conan Doyle, Confucius, and Mark Twain having all graced us with their eminent works. Each, in their own way, are to be admired and emulated as ideal forms of humanity.

My psychiatrist told me that Kafka’s favorite author was Dostoyevsky. My eyes lit up with my psychiatrists’ eyes because Dostoyevsky is both of our favorites, too. After reading Brothers Karamasov, that is especially true, so far. I just finished Kafka’s The Trial and am learning more about him. I get Deja vu because he’s familiar like I already know him.

As a 29 year old man myself, who has been undergoing an overwhelming spiritual transformation, relate to Kafka. I work two jobs and have school and I yearn the few moments I am able to express myself. The paper and pen are my refuge and when much time passes without being able to free my thoughts it feels like a fire inside me has to be set free.
It feels really lonely, but your channel and videos have been subtle finger taps onto a dimming light bulb, every tap renews the light that was slowly fading. Thank you.

I remember reading The Trial in school, it hit hard but weirdly most of the class wasn't amazed by it.. maybe the young age, maybe they just rather don't dive into the interpretation. Then I was able to go and see the theater play of it and I got lost. His work is so accurate in modern world it's scary. Kafka is one of the best writers, and the fact that every single thing that he wrote, can be understood so differently yet correctly by everyone is just amazing.

His works are metaphors for his own life (thus characters named K. from Kafka). We are rather reading a journal, a damn well written one, than mere novels. Therefore we might feel some sort intimate connection with the author, not just the characters. We begin to empathetically understand him and feel the urge to comfort him. And if we understand him, we might even begin to integrate his lenses through which he perceives the world. Thus, I think the nature of his genius transfers from originality to relatedness.

ABSURD! ITS ALL ABSURD! 🤮Brilliant video, thank you! Takes me back to when I first encountered Kafka when I was going through an extended period of existential dread about six or seven years ago.
Started with both Metamorphoses & The Trial which were strangely disturbing and yet comforting reads - a very unique soul and literary experience. Marvellous man. Weird, but marvellous.

I invested years of my youth into studying this mans work, it really opened gates for new paths of introspection. I recommend reading Ein Landarzt - a countryside doctor. It's is the only literary output he did not reject later in his life. Also his 1st novel ,Amerika', that follows a son, sent away over the atlantic by his family on his social descent into obscurity alongside the institutions and characters of the sometimes vast & sometimes hectic New World: The America European immigrants faced around the turn of the last century.
Reading Kafka shaped my personality in a way only the works of J.P. Sartre did.
