It is possible that we are damned if we die and damned if we don’t. Some predicaments are that intractable. Perhaps it would have been best, as I believe, never to have been at all. After all, those who never exist are in no condition, let alone any predicament. They are not doomed to die. And if one thinks that an eternal life under the best conditions constitutes a kind of doom, they are also not doomed to live for eternity. 7 | Suicide There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. —ALBERT CAMUS
