HUGO: I need discipline.
HOEDERER: Why?
HUGO [wearily]: There are too many ideas in my head. I must get rid of them.
HOEDERER: What sort of ideas?
HUGO: "What am I doing here? Am I right to want what I want? Am I really just kidding myself?" Ideas like that.
HOEDERER [slowly]: I see. Ideas like that, eh? And at this moment your head is full of them?
HUGO [uneasily]: No.-No, not at this moment. [A pause.] But they might come back. I have to protect myself. By installing other thoughts in my head. Assignments: "Do this. Go. Stop. Say such and such." I need to obey. To obey, just like that. To eat, sleep, obey."

- from Dirty Hands, written by Jean-Paul Sarte, published 1949.

LOL. I wonder if Simone de Beauvoir disciplined her Jean-Paul. What a lovely thought!

Now...just a little mud for my turtle gives life all the meaning I require.

Personally, I have no use for existential philosophy. I like Sartre, but I prefer the Absurdist playwrights: life sucks and then you die, but you might wait aimlessly or get turned into a rhinoceros along the way.

Be careful, you may wake up to find that you are a cockroach on your own ceiling. Now that would suck !
