As-tu récemment perdu ton chien, ou sens-tu que ce moment approche ? Quand on perd son chien, on ne perd pas seulement un animal. On perd une partie de soi.

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.
