A healthy being does not have metaphysical worries. A man that smiles and sings does not go so far in his speculations. Only the shallow, the asleep and the delirious men can have a wedlock with Life. An insomniac cogito, an obsessive and kamikaze one is, therefore, a physiological aberration, an incurable pathology that settles the Nothingness. and along with it the greatest curse: lucidity. Emil Cioran (1911-1995), a Romanian thinker with French writing, experienced that. And as a disenchanted sceptical and insomniac man, he took suicide as his visceral and omnipresent question.
