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...
