If reason did not exist there would be for me no life. Life is all. I felt that there was something wrong here. Life is a senseless evil, that is certain, said I to myself. Yet I have lived and am still living, and all mankind lived and lives.
Ignorance behaves just in that way.
Ignorance always says just what I am saying. When it does not know something, it says that what it does not know is stupid. Nothing prevents our denying life by suicide. You live, and cannot understand the meaning of life - then finish it, and do not fool about in life, saying and writing that you do not understand it. For our wisdom, however indubitable it may be, has not given us the knowledge of the meaning of our life.
