There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with
the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil,
all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward
it, I have now surpassed...
My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better
world for anyone. I fact I want my pain to be inflicted on
others. I want no one to escape.
But even after admitting this, there is no catharsis.
My punishement continues to elude me and I gain no
deeper knowledge about myself, no new knowledge can be extracted
from my telling. This confession has meant nothing...
