• Quotes say it best sometimes

  
  You can hold yourself back from the sufferings of the world,
  that is something you are free to do and it accords with your nature,
  but perhaps this very holding back is the one suffering you could avoid.
  

  
  “I am in chains. Don’t touch my chains.”
  ― Franz Kafka

  “Writing is utter solitude, the descent into the cold abyss of oneself.”
  ― Franz Kafka

  
  “The truth is always an abyss.
  One must — as in a swimming pool
  dare to dive from the quivering springboard of trivial everyday experience
  and sink into the depths, in order to later rise again
  laughing and fighting for breath
  to the now doubly illuminated surface of things.”
  ― Franz Kafka
