In accordance with my conception of life, I have chosen not to bring children into the world. A coin is examined, and only after careful deliberation, given to a beggar, whereas a child is flung out into the cosmic brutality without hesitation.

The immediate facts are what we must relate to. Darkness and light, beginning and end.

Why does man need a meaning to life?

As long as humankind recklessly proceeds in the fateful delusion of being biologically fated for triumph, nothing essential will change.

Man is a tragic animal. Not because of his smallness, but because he is too well endowed. Man has longings and spiritual demands that reality cannot fulfill. We have expectations of a just and moral world. Man requires meaning in a meaningless world.

When a human being takes his life in depression, this is a natural death of spiritual causes. The modern barbarity of 'saving' the suicidal is based on a hair-raising misapprehension of the nature of existence.

Know yourselves- be infertile and let the earth be silent after ye.
