An excerpt from Giacomo Leopardi's 'Zibaldone' (trans. Kathleen Baldwin, Richard Dixon, David Gibbons, Ann Goldstein, Gerard Slowey, Martin Thom, and Pamela Williams).
Note that there may nevertheless be other-regarding reasons to continue one's own life. Leopardi discusses reasons of this kind in, for example, 'Dialogue Between Plotinus and Porphyry'.
