“How empty & meaningless life is – we bury a person, we accompany them to the grave, throw 3 spadefuls of earth on them; we ride out in a carriage, ride home in a carriage, we find consolation in the thought that we have a long life ahead of us, but how long is seven times ten years?Â
Why not settle it all at once, why not stay out there and go along down into the grave and draw lots to see to whom will befall the misfortune of being the last of the living who throws the last 3 spadefuls of earth on the last of the dead? “
Søren Aabye Kierkegaard
