Longing for understanding from "summary" of No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai
This insatiable desire, this relentless craving for someone to truly comprehend the depths of my being, is a burden I have carried since the early days of my youth. It is a yearning that gnaws at my soul, leaving me feeling perpetually isolated and misunderstood. From a young age, I have struggled to connect with those around me on a meaningful level. Despite my best efforts, I have always felt like an outsider, like an alien in a world that speaks a language I cannot fully grasp. This sense of alienation has only grown more pronounced as I have aged, deepening the chasm that separates me from those who inhabit the realm of normalcy. I have longed for understanding, not in the superficial sense of being listened to or sympathized with, but in the profound sense of being truly seen and known. I yearn for someone who can look into the depths of my soul and recognize the darkness that resides within, someone who can bear witness to the twisted contours of my mind without flinching or turning away in horror. This longing for understanding is not merely a desire for companionship or validation; it is a desperate plea for someone to unlock the mysteries of my existence, to shine a light into the darkest recesses of my being and illuminate the shadows that lurk within. I crave the kind of understanding that transcends words, that reaches beyond the superficialities of everyday life and delves into the core of my being. But alas, such understanding has eluded me thus far, leaving me adrift in a sea of loneliness and despair. I have searched high and low for someone who can fathom the depths of my soul, but all my efforts have been in vain. And so I continue to drift, longing for understanding, yearning for connection, but always falling short of the elusive goal that taunts me from afar.
