So what am I doing?
Looking... for...
something besides the goods that are popular and commonly desired, but that I've observed and experienced that do not satisfy truly.
Like which goods?
Like wealth, recognition, accomplishments (achieving this or that goal, going to this or that place, conquering or mating this or that girl), or bodily pleasures.
Then what kind of good do you seek?
I've observed there is some subtle, underlying pattern to all actions, intentions, perceptions - at least to mine, for that is the only one of which I can speak. I will to delve into the subtler, whatever it is, and involve myself with those matters.
Will you to master them?
I will to involve myself as best I can with them.
And you disconnect yourself willingly from your social life to achieve this?
Yes.
Why?
Because I have observed in myself too amenable a character, one too easily swayed by others' opinions and influences. Additionally, I hold the impression that the search I undertake is best undertaken with no, or very few and select, company.
