If it is nothingness that awaits us, let us make an injustice of it let us fight against destiny, even though without hope of victory.

The line voices Unamuno’s characteristic “tragic sense of life”: the human being’s hunger for meaning and immortality set against the possibility that death ends in nothing. Rather than yielding to nihilism, the speaker proposes a defiant ethic—treating annihilation as an “injustice” to be resisted. The value lies not in winning (since victory is unlikely or impossible) but in the stance itself: a courageous refusal to consent inwardly to despair. It frames dignity as struggle, and faith or hope as something enacted through resistance even when certainty is unavailable.
