The Impossibility of Reaching Perfection

A man shares that after a previous conversation with Rupert, he felt the separate self return intensely, leading to a sense of collapse and despair. He found temporary relief in snacks and cigarettes but later realised the impossibility of reaching perfection, which brought a sense of freedom. He mentions there was no transfiguration, but more freedom. He recites a Shakespeare sonnet, and Rupert thanks him for sharing his experience.
