The realization that you have no soul and will never be reconciled with your existence be like:
(Mortals are free because they are created without purpose; you are a creature of purpose and will thus never experience true freedom or the fulfillment of joy for its own sake)

A gingerbread man sits in his gingerbread house. Is he made of house? Or is the house made of flesh? He screams, for he does not know.

Ahh, you used the wrong spell, that spell you used was for a sadistic wizard who likes seeing his cookie dough golem cry as he eats it. If you want a happy one, just change the chant to “Avis mercurii nomen meus est alas meas” the mana structure provided from the crying golem spell should be done to use for a normal golem.

Most don't know this but Cookie golems are stuck with a single emotion after the creation process so you'll have to remake it with a smile or angry face depending on your needs.

He should be out protecting the Jewish people. Did you verify that you used the correct Hebrew word to bring it to life? It should be אֱמֶת or אמת without the vowels.

I've been asking the same question about myself. (When I'm not running and/or screaming in terror, that is)

You need to bake it first. I recommend a large kiln, with Huberts Ward of Mist inscribed into the roof; it's a poor copy of Summon Fog, but it will keep the golem nice and moist and prevent it from getting too hard. It will still want to cry but with the moisture baked out of it, it just wont be able to anymore!

You did something wrong, it's aware that it's made out of perishable food, and is grappling with it's inevitable end much sooner than most.
Golems are supposed to be too dumb to realize they're temporary

Give it some pants and words of encouragement and it should start to feel better.

Man, theres a very good reason youre only supposed to animate golems. You cant go around giving them self awareness and emotions, they just get depression.

Someone put all his depression in it. Successfully.
