The realisation that we are on a journey in a finite organism opens us up to infinite possibilities. The lack of perception of oneself as something provisional and finite makes one vulnerable. This modest work looks at limit situations experienced as eternal and insurmountable. Faced with distorted perceptions of one's own existence as eternal and infinite, perhaps as an attempt to collectively allocate the acute suffering arising from these distortions, the strategy of institutionalising such suffering, which is human, is identified. The process of institutionalisation, however, dehumanises and proves incapable of setting a temporal limit to the experience of existing.
