  It might have destroyed K, bug not Kafka himself. Kafka himself was an incredible successful lawyer, who won every single insurance case for his important employer. He was also a good sportsman, ate very healthy and had huge fun provoking his hated father. It's all a very elaborate dark comedy. He was always on the winning side of the bureaucratic nightmares, that's why he had so much fun writing about it.
