Epiphany of the Dollhouse
"You live like this,
sheltered, in a delicate world, and you believe you are living. Then you
read a book, or you take a trip, ...and you discover that you are not living,
that you are hibernating. The symtoms of hibernating are easily
detectable: first, restlessness. The second symptom (when
hibernating becomes dangerous and might degenerate into death): absence of
pleasure. That is all It appears like an innocuous illness.
Monotony, boredom, death. Millions live like this (or die like this)
without knowing it. They work in offices. They drive a car.
They picnic with their families. They raise children. And then some
shock treatment takes place, a person, a book, a song, and it awakens them and
saves them from death.
Some never awaken. They are like the people
who go to sleep in the snow and never awaken. But I am not in
danger..." - Anais Nin
