During frustrating moments in a person’s life, what is there to live for? “This class was the color of my dreams. I entailed an active withdrawal from a reality that had turned hostile. I wanted very badly to hold on to my rare mood of jubilance and optimism for in the back of my mind I didn’t know what awaited me at the end of this project. You are aware, a friend had said, that you are withdrawing into yourself, and now that your relations with the university is cut, your whole contact world will be mainly restricted to one room. Where will you go from here, he had asked. Withdrawal into one’s dreams is dangerous, I reflected, padding into the room to change. this I had learned from Navokov’s crazy dreamers, like Kinbote and Humbert (Nafizi 423).” In countries where there is too much deprivation especially of the artistic or academic pursuits, one has to make an underground tunnel in order to escape from the real physical world.

Most often other senses like hearing, imagination and touch are opened wider. The deepening of these other sensibilities which are likely to be much keener than before tends to compensate for the loss.
