A man, filled with pride and self-belief, was determined to be self-sufficient, “not bowing down to anything or anyone”, and the greatest statement and realisation of this self-sufficiency, he decided, would be to live without breathing. “Breathing implies subjugation. I will either create my own air or learn to live without it.” However he didn’t manage to achieve either, and in the end, after almost endless torments of shame and rage and so on, he gave in and even, strangely, began to feel that this dependency wasn’t perhaps so shameful after all and all this air was even quite pleasant.
