But at Oberlin, one student complained to the university administration and requested a trigger warning for Sophocles' "Antigone." The student argued that the suicide scene in the play had triggered strong emotions in him and that he, as someone who had himself long been on suicide watch, should have been warned. In an article he wrote for the Oberlin Review, the student, Cyrus Eosphoros, compared a trigger warning to the list of ingredients on food items. "People should have the right to know and consent to what they're putting into their minds," he wrote. Eosphoros has since dropped out of the school.

He should drop out of life if he is so fragile.

He needs to become a cloistered monk or a hermit and isolate himself from the world.

He would be much better off hiding away in a mountain cave studying scripture and meditating. Although some of the passages in the Bible would be too traumatic for such a fragile psyche as his.
