然而事实是，正因世界不可能完美才需要追求完美，正因秩序得来不易才需要追求秩序，正因生活稍不经意就会一团糟，才应学会如何把生活打理得井井有条。这个时代并没有古人们那般的态度和勇气，我们一旦认清了虚无本质就败倒在魔鬼膝下。既然无法逃离虚无就只有在与虚无的对抗中活下去。注定失败却仍坚守信念。抑或另一种态度，无视结局，以对抗为乐。“追求”是存在论的显现，是生命的抗争，是西西弗斯之精神，也是人之所以为人的原始能量。退却，我们将一无是处。

    Yet the truth is this: it is precisely because the world can never be perfect that we must pursue perfection; because order is hard-won that we must pursue order; and because life can fall into disarray at the slightest carelessness that we should learn to keep it well-organized. This age lacks the attitude and courage of the ancients — once we recognize the essence of nothingness, we collapse at the devil's feet. Since we cannot escape nothingness, the only way is to live in resistance against it. To hold fast to one's beliefs even when doomed to fail. Or else, take the other attitude: ignore the outcome, and take joy in the struggle itself. "Pursuit" is the manifestation of existential ontology, the struggle of life, the spirit of Sisyphus, and the primal energy that makes us human. Retreat, and we are nothing.
