St Anselm's Syndrome

This is a sorry state of affairs.

A syndrome which no less than Necessary Beings suffer from, due to the fact of their having no choice in the matter of their eternal existence.

The condition of existing eternally brings with it the many different aspects to the syndrome, most notably boredom and narcissism, which the sufferer attempts to drive away through a repeated cycle of creation and destruction.

Note: necessary beings, if they exist, are not All Mighty, though some maintain that they may be very powerful and therefore worthy of note, if they exist (See Pascal's Wager, Pensees, Section III, for an example of such exemplary cowardice).

Go here for more on the relation of necessary being and power.
