Quote by E. M. Cioran
When you have understood that nothing is, that things do not even deserve the status of appearances, you no longer need to be saved, you are saved, and miserable forever.
Summary
This quote suggests that when one reaches a profound understanding that nothing truly exists, not even as mere illusions, they transcend the need for salvation. Instead, they perceive themselves as permanently saved yet perpetually unhappy. It points towards a perspective that acknowledges the inherent emptiness and impermanence of reality, implying that this understanding brings a quasi-existential state of acceptance and melancholy. It challenges the notion of salvation as a concept separate from the perceived miseries of existence.
