Inability to find peace from "summary" of No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai
The relentless pursuit of peace is a futile endeavor for those who are plagued by the insatiable desire for something that always seems just out of reach. The protagonist of the story is consumed by a deep-rooted sense of unease that haunts him at every turn, preventing him from ever truly finding solace in his existence. Despite his best efforts to escape the grip of this internal turmoil, he is constantly reminded of his own inadequacies and failures, which only serve to deepen his sense of despair. The protagonist's inability to find peace is not simply a matter of external circumstances, but rather a reflection of his own internal struggles and conflicts. He grapples with feelings of alienation and disconnection from the world around him, leading him to seek solace in fleeting moments of pleasure and distraction. However, these brief respites are always short-lived, leaving him even more desperate and despondent than before. As the story unfolds, the protagonist's search for peace becomes increasingly desperate and destructive, leading him down a dark path of self-destruction and despair. He becomes trapped in a cycle of addiction and self-loathing, unable to break free from the grip of his own inner demons. Despite his best efforts to find some semblance of peace and contentment, he is ultimately doomed to a life of perpetual suffering and despair. The protagonist's journey serves as a powerful exploration of the human condition, highlighting the universal struggle to find meaning and fulfillment in a world that often seems cruel and indifferent. His relentless pursuit of peace is a poignant reminder of the inherent fragility and complexity of human existence, highlighting the harsh reality that for some, true peace may forever remain out of reach.
