Beowulf Complex?

I have come up with a strange idea today after recording some things I want to say to… well… the guy in the physics department who killed himself.I happen to know him, and well, this isn’t the point. Anyway, I did not realizethat he was a perfectionist until I have listened to seniors’ descriptions about him.Incidentally, I have read a book called “Essays in Love” in which there was a chapter named “Jesus Complex.”The author claimed that if Jesus had not been crusified, he would have lived inobscurity.Thus, people who agree that one must sacrifice severely in order to achieve something great are obsessed with “Jesus Complex.”The point makes me think that can people who are unable to get over fame be categorized into “Beowulf Complex” sufferers? I truly believe that such people exist, and perhaps everyone more or less is victim to any sort of “complex,” whether we are aware of it or not.The senior student majoring in physics was so eager to seek meaning for his life that he decided to end it to make it… I don’t know.

Well, I don’t know what I’m talking about right now…Ridicuous thoughts bubble up in my brain all the time.Please forgive me if they do not make any sense to you.
