Step 1: Hold the eggplant firmly, but not too tightly, as you wouldn't want to crush it with your grip of steel.
Step 2: Place the eggplant on a flat surface, like a table or a platter, and stare deeply into its purple majesty.
Step 3: Slice the eggplant with a sharp knife, taking care not to slice your fingers in the process.
Step 4: Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of existential dread, as the meaninglessness of life will soon consume you.
