to a knowledge of the truth, i perhaps have come; to salvation, surely not. what shall i do? be active in the world, people say. should i then communicate my sorrow to the world, make one more contribution to prove how pitiable and wretched everything is, perhaps discover a new, hitherto undetected stain [plet] in human life? i could then reap the rare reward of becoming famous, just like the man who discovered the spots [pletter] on Jupiter. i still prefer to remain silent.
