One abandons one's own imagination and returns to the old trap of fear. The existential idiot occupies one's head. Here is the point where the misery of this society completes itself. One begins to accept the limitations imposed by this society as one's own. To experience comes to mean to repeat oneself.
Passion is pacified.
Desire is rationalized away. The forbidden remain forbidden. This supreme moment of misery marks nothing less than the triumph of amnesia. Such complete abandonment of life's adventure is the surrender of one who has forgotten all previous rebellion and all previous desire to revolt. Amnesia is the colonization of memory.
