Beautiful way of putting the "steps" that many takes when faced with the void of existence leading to a balance between nothingness (the absurde of Camus) and fullness of us being creators. Maybe in a bigger scheme of things it is what happened to humanity, after being deceived by the unique truth given we become creators to not fall into nothingness which could lead to chaos. I resonate with the fact you uncover that freedom is taking the world in one's hand and engaging with it. For this I use of a word which carries bad connotation but that I find beautiful when relieved from these connotations, this word being appropriation. I truly think that freedom is appropriation and happens when one realise he/she can do anything or at least try to. Between the lines I read this, I hope I am not projecting onto your text. I will finish this comment which has the purpose of saying - thank you for your thought, you put into words what I also think - that not so long ago I read a sentence which stroke me and maybe you will find a link with the alienation from the world you describe and reject to embrace the passions found within. This sentence is one that Seneque said and the following "If I give in to pleasure, I will have to give in to pain". This sentence is pronounced by Seneque with the normative claim that one should not give in as it would make us dependant. Even if I follow most of Seneque claims, I am unsure of this one. Instead of seeing it as a negative things which leads to dependance and drive the individual into the endless run of desires, I want to see it as something positive. I want to see it as a pure act of engagement, the one that despite knowing he/she will be hurt, give in to the process and go to meet the world. Maybe self alienation comes from the fear of intensity.
