Well, it's Monday again, but it's nearing end of the day. Most people had Monday blues this morning. In another time zone, in another place, the Monday blues will hit people who dread going to work. There is another group of people who does not get Monday blues at all, but what this group of people dread is the absence of human contacts.
Alone in their apartments, some of them do their best to keep themselves occupied; reading, surfing, finding work, occasionally watching TV. Some people choose to go for a walk, some choose to lay in bed and sink deeper into depression. Regardless of what they do, they share the same hope.
"I had come to hate being at home because of a sort of disgust I was feeling for people in general, and once I started felling that way, I couldn't stand the sight of my relatives, my parents, anybody. At one point I realized what I was doing and I tried to fight it, but by then it was too late. The more I struggled, the worse it became, until finally the cork popped and all the reserves of patience I had tried so hard to build were lost. I left home that very night."
