And the emptier my life, the more I tried to fill it with frivolity.
And I pursued this vice with a sort of frenetic abandon.
And this was a high-risk exercise.
Very much so.
Were you half hoping to be caught?
It's hard to say.
I felt that I was trying to distract myself from a life that was itself a distraction.
The Ministry of Justice was nothing.
It was an emptiness.
And if I could distract myself from that distraction, then perhaps I could live a full life.
And for a while, I submitted myself to this sort of seductive illusion.
Life seemed to spread out before me like a sort of endless carnival.
But illusions, however powerful they are, ultimately fail to satisfy.
And I could feel this deep artistic urge in me, sort of crying out to be fulfilled.
And then, once again, Mozart appeared in my life and came to my rescue.
I saw a production of Don Giovanni.
It was a revelation.
As soon as those big D minor chords began, I felt as though I had walked through the portals of heaven and stumbled on the angels singing to God.
It charged my soul with enthusiasm, with aspiration, and suddenly I realized this was what I needed.
This was what I had to do.
