As discussion
gets deeper so do my thoughts. As we have discussed the narrator sees
consciousness as a disease. But I would like to explore the absoluteness of
this subject. Being self-aware means you have achieved a state where you are
always conscious of everything. You are always exploring tangents to thoughts,
as well as tangents to those ideas. This is where our narrator is, this is how
he develops his ideas, by building on original thoughts through additional
tangents. He is unable to stay on one thought long enough to get to the point,
his ‘disease’ keeps him from truly finishing anything.
Turning to
Pain, the main topic of today’s discussion, we see that the real purpose of
pain is a chance to receive validation from others. But our narrator doesn’t seek
validation he seeks truth. Yet the pain he receives comes from the seeking of
truth. This is the problem; his pain is all kept inside. This is where are
narrator is, locked not only physically, but also emotionally from the outside
world. And he knows it, all too well.
