Most self-destructive behavior is simply ridiculous-never mind how complexly compelled by personal demons.

In John Irving's book "The Imaginary Girlfriend," he explores the theme of self-destructive behavior, suggesting that it often stems from irrational impulses. He points out that, despite the deep psychological roots driving such actions, they can appear absurd when viewed objectively.
Irving's insight highlights the contrast between the complexity of personal struggles and the seemingly foolish nature of acting against one's own interests. This reflection invites readers to consider how internal conflicts manifest in ways that can be both tragic and ludicrous.
