The Ultimate act of avoidance.

[Darryl]

i find that my immunity to bad consequences also continues to increase

what i once may have considered as unacceptable results of my avoidance, i now find perfectly tolerable

it's like slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea while gradually getting used to the water in your lungs

i fear that i'm growing gills and might never come back up

You will always push off the bottom because you look for attachment/belonging in the real world.
