The Paradox of Self-Destruction
It has been said that the most epic deaths are those of the self-inflicted kind. A warrior who cuts off his own limbs in a fit of rage, a poet who burns his own words in a fit of self-doubt, a chef who serves himself a plate of his own poisonous soup.
But what of the philosopher who questions the very notion of existence? The one who ponders the meaninglessness of life, only to realize that the meaning is, in fact, meaningless? Ah, the existential crisis that ensues is a truly epic tale.
