Profound sadness from "summary" of No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai
The feeling of profound sadness that enveloped my existence was unlike anything I had ever experienced before. It was a heavy cloud that hung over me, casting a shadow on every aspect of my life. This sadness was not just a fleeting emotion, but a deep-rooted despair that seemed to seep into my very being. I found myself unable to shake off this overwhelming sense of melancholy, no matter how hard I tried. It clung to me like a second skin, weighing me down and sapping me of all energy and motivation. It was a constant presence, lurking in the background of my thoughts and actions, coloring everything with a tinge of despair. This profound sadness seemed to stem from a myriad of sources - a sense of alienation from those around me, a deep-seated feeling of inadequacy and self-loathing, and a pervasive sense of emptiness and meaninglessness in my life. I found myself unable to connect with others on a meaningful level, always feeling like an outsider looking in. As I grappled with this profound sadness, I found myself retreating further and further into myself, shutting out the world and retreating into a cocoon of isolation. The weight of this sadness was suffocating, crushing me under its unbearable weight. It was a burden that I carried with me at all times, a heavy chain that bound me to my own misery. Despite my best efforts to escape from this profound sadness, it seemed to follow me wherever I went. It colored every experience, every interaction, every moment of my life. It was a constant reminder of my own fragility and vulnerability, a stark reflection of the emptiness that lay at the core of my being. In the end, this profound sadness became a part of me, an inescapable aspect of my existence. It defined me in ways that I could not fully comprehend, shaping my thoughts, actions, and perceptions in ways that were both subtle and profound. It was a burden that I carried with me, a cross that I bore, a shadow that followed me wherever I went.
