(1) My whole life has been an endless series of battles for winning the right to live, to enjoy myself, to take a rest. And the time for my quintessential rest will finally come when I die. Why? It is because nothing whatsoever in life intrigues me essentially.

(2) What is there to enjoy in life? Nothing. If nothing at all is for me to enjoy, then I'd rather keep fighting and struggling to improve myself. Improvement in what way? I don't know.

(3) But at least., I'll keep struggling anyway, because I believe that this is a better life than those of the pigs and apes I see around me.

Mr. OED, come on... you just wanna feel superior to somebody else... the pigs & apes... or whatever. But you aint no better than a slug creepy crawlin in the mud. You got here the same way they did. And you're leavin the same way, too.
Replying to
No, I don't aim to feel superior to "somebody else." I want to feel I've lived my life to the max. Otherwise I'll be totally nothing. If I compete with something or someone, I compete with myself, or with a superior being, or maybe even with God. I don't compete with a person.

And I absolutely know better than anybody else that I am one of the pigs and apes. That's precisely what keeps me struggling forward. If I stopped struggling, I'd be a real pig like everyone else.
