Only those completely ruined by exhaustion would want to sit still and not even move a finger. I would find no joy in such immobility unless my muscles burned with pain and my legs couldn’t take another step. I’ve sat immobile for so long; I’ve sat in misery for too long, and I don’t want to sit any longer. My heart is still beating, and I want to completely wear myself out—completely, not moderately or momentarily.
