An intoxication with reality
The following is a piece of writing whose meaning and spirit I share with a close friend. The word 'they' has special emphasis.

You start a journey knowing you are right. You create relationships knowing that they will last forever. You realize that your journey is achieving its purpose and you reach a state of contentment.
All of a sudden you recognize a change... you are not seeing anyone. The voice has gone.
You realize that it was a shadow and not someone in reality. Then you start thinking "what is reality?" They say “it was a mistake, a sin, a state of illusion that they gave you the false happiness. It was a state of confusion that they thought your company was invaluable, a state of impulsiveness in which they chose to speak with you”. All of a sudden things change. The world around you shrinks from a large sky with unlimited space to a black hole with unlimited darkness. You loose your mental balance as you have failed to differentiate between shadows and humans. You go deep down inside your senses and curse them for betraying you.
You forget to differentiate between dreams and reality, conscious and unconscious, living and non-living and you question the perfection of your senses. You don’t feel cheated by anyone but by your own senses which made you believe that they speak truth, that they were yours forever and that they are “humans”.
Blood replaces the tears in your eyes and water replaces the blood in your veins. It’s the replacement that kills you from inside and you loose the human element in your heart. You start looking at life from a different perspective. The replacement of body fluids help you loose the sense of pain and joy and reach a state of detachment, which Zeno proposed centuries ago. Stoic-ness. You start looking at your emotions as your weaknesses, your cause of pain and want to get rid of them. You stop loving and caring for people and see them as a cause of fear.
Pragmatism is a part of human judgment and governs most of our basic actions but there has to be some room for your emotions, for your human-element that influences the index of kindness in your personality and thoughts. Impulses and dreams are ephemeral.. but their impact and effect on human actions are eternal. Living life by impressions and constraints make you feel good for a short while until realize that you are not yourself. Being driven by your emotions and having the energy to justify them requires an inner confidence and faith in your self. Follow your inner voice in every.. action guided by that divine flame which keeps burning in your heart and fuels your soul.
Fear of death and darkness goes away. But emotions run deep inside you. You learn to deny them, even though you are aware that these emotions and hormones are what make you human. You are on the verge of loosing your identity as a human. Think!! The element of kindness and life that makes you a human and gives you superiority over other species in this universe… you are on the verge of loosing the very basic thing that has made you so great and helped you achieve so much.
Sit in a lonely place, close your eyes, take deep breaths, feel your heart beating and the blood flowing in your veins. You are about to make a very big decision about your transformation from living to non-living. You are about to die...
