The feeling that more needed to be done reflects, I think, an underlying desire to control the uncontrollable. After all, if a person feels guilty about not doing something they should have done, then it follows that something could have been done - a convenient thought that distracts us from our pitiful helplessness in the face of death. Clothed in an elaborate illusion of limitless possibilities, we all, at least until the onset of a mid-life crisis, hold on to the belief that our existence is an endlessly ascending spiral of achievement, dependent only on our will.

To avoid admitting their own helplessness, their own humiliating weakness, people try to find some reason for what happened. They start thinking things like, "Oh, that person must be some special person to be able to smash me to smithereens." Or: "Anyone would be helpless in such a situation."

Not even a tiny ray of light can penetrate this darkness... how long have I been lying here? In this pitch darkness... Eternity. A lonely falcon flying to the zenith... Hatred, friendship, jealousy, disappointment, helplessness, affection, sadness - all this is woven into a giant funnel. These feelings keep my mind from fading...
Part of me was looking forward to being fired: I would get rid of eternal anxiety and worries and I would be able to manage my own time myself. But another part of my mind believed that in retirement my life would be drastically empty and would be little different from death; that senile helplessness awaits me and, possibly, early dementia, on which my life, in fact, will end.
