Reclusion Perpetua

I got this from Salman Rushdie's book, "Fury":

'The human race is a life sentence...It's a rough confinement and sometimes we all need to break out of jail."

Haven't finished reading the book which I borrowed from Diane, sorry. Its almost a year now since i borrowed the book, im reading it a chapter at a time. I like to read it out loud, trying to read it with an accent from time to time.

Anyway, back to the quote. I fully agree with the quote. Sometimes, i just feel that this world is just so crowded, that my privacy is constantly violated. That human interaction is just becoming so tiresome that there are times that i would really like to be in a place where i dont have to speak or be with another human being, even for just 48 consecutive hours. I dont know why i feel that way, but i do. sometimes, i really get annoyed when i stay in a place where there are lots of people. and there are times that it is really burdensome to keep up with the human race with their ideas, lifestyle and other human imaginings and creations. its really a puzzling feeling. one person even commented that i have this disgust for the human race, as if its a repulsive life form in this planet, thinking itself to be the pinnacle of evolution but that doesnt mean its a superior being in all aspects. its tiring to live in this world, and that is also why i find it interesting why most people want to live a long life. isnt 2 decades or maybe three enough? whats the point of staying longer in this planet? not that there's much to experience? maybe im just bored. anyway, the way i see it, the only way to break out of this jail is through death. and unfortunately, death will only come when it thinks you've had enough of this world. or, you can always catch its attention by way of suicide and face the consequences of taking things into your own hands (that is, if you are a God-fearing person or if you have a religion that forbids the act).
