The personification of existential freedom. The focus of this piece is to capture the euphoric fleeting realization of one's own place in reality. It's not often in life where we have the opportunity to slow down and feel the absurdity of the human condition.
"A man finds himself, to his great astonishment, suddenly existing, after thousands and thousands of years of non-existence: he lives for a little while; and then, again, comes an equally long period when he must exist no more. The heart rebels against this, and feels that it cannot be true." - Arthur Schopenhauer
But do not be sadden by this realization, at least not now. There is no time to waste on the mountain of dread that is life, for we must look beyond it and feel the freedom of existence.
There are other truths which are perceived very clearly by our intellect so long as we attend to the arguments on which our knowledge of them depends; and we are therefore incapable of doubting them during this time. But we may forget the arguments in question and later remember simply the conclusions which were deduced from them.
The question will now arise as to whether we possess the same firm and immutable conviction concerning these conclusions, when we simply recollect that they were previously deduced from quite evident principles.
