>seeking success and recognition is hollow because less than 1% of 1% will ever achieve it
>achieving success and recognition is hollow because it will never be enough and you'll only see that fame decline
>abandoning the pursuit of success and recognition is hollow because you no longer have any reason to do anything but sit there and wait out the rest of your meaningless existence

“Marry, and you will regret it; don’t marry, you will also regret it; marry or don’t marry, you will regret it either way. Laugh at the world’s foolishness, you will regret it; weep over it, you will regret that too; laugh at the world’s foolishness or weep over it, you will regret both. Believe a woman, you will regret it; believe her not, you will also regret it… Hang yourself, you will regret it; do not hang yourself, and you will regret that too; hang yourself or don’t hang yourself, you’ll regret it either way; whether you hang yourself or do not hang yourself, you will regret both. This, gentlemen, is the essence of all philosophy.”

― Søren Kierkegaard

A true opium for the people is a belief in nothingness after death.

there's literally no proof that anything happens after you die, or that if anything does, that it's necessarily bad or in any way related to what you did in life
