About this listen

This book explores the ethical, psychological, and existential tensions between the will to live and the desire to let go in extreme conditions of suffering. Drawing on Viktor Frankl’s logotherapy and the concept of inner freedom, it critically examines whether meaning is always possible — and whether insisting on meaning in the face of despair may become a form of cruelty rather than compassion.

Through reflections on assisted suicide, biological compulsion, resistance, and the burden of consciousness, the text challenges the sanctity of survival as a universal good. It argues for a more nuanced understanding of dignity, autonomy, and the right to die, while preserving the deep human yearning to find — or create — meaning even in the void.
