"All human life is weary, incomplete, unsatisfying,
and sardonically purposeless. It always has been and always will be; so
that he who looks for a paradise is merely a dupe of myths or of his own
imagination.
The will and emotion of man crave conditions that do
not and never will exist, so that the wise man is he who kills will and
emotion to a degree enabling him to despise life and sneer at its
puerile illusions and insubstantial goals. The wise man is a laughing
cynic; he takes nothing seriously, ridicules earnestness and zeal, and
wants nothing because he knows that the cosmos holds nothing worth
wanting. And yet, being wise, he is not a tenth as happy as the dog or
peasant that knows no life or aspiration above the simplest animal
plane.
It is good to be a cynic — it is better to be a contented cat — and it is best not to exist at all.
Universal suicide is the most logical thing in the
world — we reject it only because of our primitive cowardice and
childish fear of the dark. If we were sensible we would seek death — the
same blissful blank which we enjoyed before we existed."
H.P. Lovecraft
