Haha, yeah. But hunting is just one of the examples that Pascal uses because of the times, along with gambling and war.
Metaphorically, that passion project or artistic pursuit that you can't quite explain a practical use for is more or less the same idea.
The irony is not lost on me that the man in this anecdote is bringing untimely death to the hare, to distract himself from his own.
Death probably feels just like you felt before you were born.
Why not celebrate that there is anything to experience at all? It seems so improbable.
