Peopleing can lead to ennui and Anhedonia

Round 3 of Proust. I am reminded of Rilke, “I want to be with those who know secret things or else alone.” The next is Sodom and Gomorrah so I am, of course, looking forward more to that one (teehee). This was too much for me really, too many words Proust, too much of the same thing, high society, empty headed, nothing for the soul there. I have felt this way around too many people most of my life whenever they’re are too many around. As a result I took about 3 years of solitude. Just me and books. Now I am again immerssed. What I hope is that I can now do so without losing myself. I am committed to staying but perfectly capable of being happily alone. There is a lot more to this book of course…and to this series in general. Ask me if you want to talk about In Search of Lost Time.
