As much as I sometimes experience the same fears, doubts, depressions and loneliness of my fellow human beings, I have always rebelled against being trapped in any way, by the identification with routine, family, friends, partners, and material ambitions. Whenever the internal dialogue threatens to define me as trapped, I experience the above emotions. Therefore, no matter what the risk, I have always endeavored to break free from all contracts and conventions. I suspected that isolation was one of the inherent dangers in the way I lived, and agonised over the idea of a lonely death. And yet, I feel, that this call is the doorway to freedom. I examined my fear of death which I had imagined I had already conquered, and there I was again, a lonely, helpless creature in the clutches of death. And then I realised that everyone clings to the things of the world as a bodily reaction against this same fear. The ego clings to family, friends, social status and material things as its way of gaining meaning and a sense of immortality because it senses that death is always just round the corner and it burys its head in temporal comforts and satisfactions. The human attachments are the result of this contraction from death.
