Freud famously wrote that the aim of all life is death. Thanatos, some call it. The death instinct. The drive towards self-destruction. It lives in all of us, he said. A need to court danger. Put ourselves directly in harm's way. Sometimes a whisper, sometimes a cry. An invisible current. A force beyond our control.

As Syme had done earlier, Winston had taken up his spoon and was dabbling in the pale-colored gravy that dribbled across the table, drawing a long streak of it out into a pattern. He meditated resentfully on the physical texture of life.

He says, look, I'm not a perfect man. I have the imperfections of a good man. But that doesn't mean that I'm deserving of the existential catastrophe that has visited me. It isn't a mere cause and effect consequence. There's an arbitrariness about it.

The thing that's meaningful and the thing that we cry out for, as agnostics or atheists, is what Albert Camus referred to, as you know, the Absurd. We call out for meaning from a universe that's indifferent to us. As the philosopher Michael Hauskeller tells us, this version of the Absurd threatens us to rob us of our sanity. Here be lions and dragons. Here be cold and dark and empitness. And that's uncomfortable, right?

I didn't picture shrinking, you know? Everything was all about being seen, taking up space. I never pictured being like this.

You know what I didn't realize at the time? That back then, those moments, those were the happiest I was ever gonna be. That was my happiness. I missed it.
