“There is but one truly serious philosophical
problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether
life is or is not worth living amounts to answering
the fundamental question of philosophy.”

Albert Camus always had lots of such ideas.

I flipped through this book Ignorance, by Milan Kundera, at the library.

there was a part about this guy, who procured a blue pill via his friend. it’s not the viagra pill. it’s a suicide pill. and he needed the pill, and kept it with him at all times. He does it because he needed a certainty in his life. He needed to know that he can get out any time he wants, any time he has to. In the face of depression, despair and a messed-up life, he needed a certainty, he needed to be in control of something, of everything. It was not that he took suicide lightly, but that he needed a reassurance. I think it’s interesting. Milan Kundera writes such intriguing stories, for those who have the time. he comes under the category of Art, i guess.

did i really write this stuff in 2004. hah. certainty in life. Kundera. Unbearable Lightness.
