{% h(at="01") %} I am a ridiculous man. Nowadays they call me mad. {% end %}
{% h(at="02") %} All of a sudden, I realised that it would not matter to me whether the world existed or whether there was nothing at all anywhere. I began to intuit and sense with all my being, that there was nothing around me. {% end %}
{% h(at="03") %} Suddenly, I noticed in one of these spaces a tiny star and began watching it intently. That was because that tiny star had given me an idea: I decided to kill myself that night. {% end %}
{% h(at="07") %} One might go so far as to say that the world was created for me alone, as it were: I will shoot myself and the world will cease to exist, at least for me. {% end %}
