The desire to not exist isn’t the same as wanting to die—it’s a wish to escape life’s burdens and wake up in a different world. This feeling often arises from dissatisfaction, rejection, or struggles with daily life, but even those who are successful, like Tolstoy, have experienced it. Schopenhauer explained this as an endless cycle of desire and suffering, while Nietzsche’s nihilism reflects the emptiness of life without inherent meaning.

Characters like Dostoevsky’s Underground Man and Kafka’s Gregor Samsa embody this despair, feeling isolated and insignificant. Despite their struggles, Dostoevsky believed suffering could lead to moral and spiritual growth, seeing it as a form of beauty. While these thoughts can lead to despair or even self-destruction, they can also inspire change and a renewed sense of purpose. Life is not about escaping hardship but finding meaning through growth, learning, and resilience.
