Only way to know yourself completely is to live as if you are dead. If you hold onto anything else you are lieing. Mishima faced the only thing that we truly cant know which is death. Can someone be such a person to such a level where the only question left is, "what is the truth of death"? You can only own your life completely when you choose when it ends and not leave it to nature or man. He made a poem of his life and ended the poem himself and owned it in the end.

i was under this mans spell for more than 1 year. he is one of the most fascinating artists ever. especially if you also agree to his concept of antiintellectualism. however its not healthy, close to schizophrenia. also im not gay....

@plus18ification

I agree with you. I only read his book "Confessions of a mask" but man he spellbound me aswell :) What is it you think is unhealthy with it?

[plus18ification]

@MrJacobfromDenmark the self-destructiveness about it is "unhealthy" . makes you depressed after a while...

@plus18ification

Maybe you are right. But doesn't he tells the truth about life in his books?

[schizoidboy]

I always kind of wondered about his war years. I heard that the highschools gave their students military training, which I barely heard about Mishima, though I read that he did a two week service before being called up for his physical. When it came to his joining the fight he probably wouldn't have seen action considering how late in the war it was, it might have ended before he deployed.

One of the world's all time best novelists. It's a shame his life came to end so quickly.
