No Longer Human — or never had been? Persons who alienate themselves (or are forced to) become less and less human (becomes a literal alien), unknown behaviors, intense, exaggerated actions, insane.
If I were to be a follower, I can already imagine myself going insane and in a mental hospital somewhere. Seeming sane inside, insane still afterwards.
But I'm not going to be a follower. Philosophies like these restructures the brain to an irreversible form unfit to live on. It's a literal hell on earth.
I can't fully express the emotion, you better read this piece of literature yourself!
