One Real Question

"There is but one truly serious philosophical problem,
and that is suicide. Judging whether life is worth living
amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy . . .

I see many people die because they judge that life is not
worth living. I see others paradoxically getting killed for
the ideas or illusions that give them a reason for living
(what is called a reason for living is an excellent reason for
dying). I therefore conclude that the meaning of life is
the most urgent of questions."

-- Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus
