he was defensive and emotionally armored, living in survival mode/spiritual armor. He is protecting himself so much he can no longer move/ stripped of social identity/spiritual rigidity
physically moving, isolated; busy but detached. loneliness disguised as work or movement/success that has become a burden, while smaller parts of his world collapse.
a restless need to be useful or seen; overextension hiding emptiness/seeing through death or illusion/thinking about the meaning of life but especially death a lot
fleeting warmth or optimism/temporary highs amid isolation not always low
maybe literal dependence (family help) or figurative servitude; ends feeling exhausted and unsupported
chasing recognition without inner healing; self-made myths rather than real connection, hoping it would fill the hole inside
inner conflict between appetite and asceticism (extreme self-discipline), wanting to indulge in every sin possible vs the complete opposite/ no sense of balance
had enough material survival, spiritually starved despite having the basics/leaving behind normal life or normal morals and moving into extremity thinking he’ll be spiritually or intellectually fed/“Do without clothes, without territory” wanting to shed identity and possessions
conflict between survival instincts and meaning, he felt trapped in routine survival/a soul that’s tired of effort and repetition/tired of worldly rewards, seeing all of it as an illusion, feeling alone in thinking this way
internal dialogue: part of him mocking his own desires or humanity, mocking his own normal human needs for connection
reaching for companionship/image of drowning in isolation while longing for care
“death of the ordinary”/ a rejection of normalcy/ feeling alienated from “common” life
emotional numbness before arrest, total burnout or disconnection right after, everything feeling surreal
now: apathy/not striving, not dreaming; functionally depressed, functionally "ok"
baptismal image/ descending into darkness, yet still breathing under water/This sounds like an image of emptiness after achievement, at the “top rows,” the summit, but heart-dead. The reward is starting to become meaningless.
