Existential exhaustion sets in when life seems to lose its meaning, and the solution to this is to find greater purpose. But while we often think this purpose needs to be something grand and overarching, it can actually be telescoped down to something small and specific: get this project done; mark off these to-dos; take a step with that goal. Activity focuses it down a single avenue in the present. In the midst of effort, you exist only in the here and now. Taking action, any action, regenerates "the sense of vitality," William James says, "making the individual feel alive again." Any sense of progress, of effectively impacting the environment, of moving things from open to closed, from chaotic to organized, from undone to finished ─ anything which reminds you that you are an efficacious being ─ can help you catch an existential second wind. This explains the strangely cathartic boost that comes from simply decluttering our houses.

 

① Existential exhaustion begins when a person perceives life as having lost its significance.

② Purpose can be compressed into small, concrete tasks such as completing a project or checking off a to-do list.

③ William James suggests that taking action diminishes the sense of vitality and makes one feel more fatigued.

④ A feeling of progress or of shifting things from disorder to order can provide a renewed sense of purpose.

⑤ The surprisingly refreshing effect of tidying up one's home can be accounted for by this phenomenon.

지문 해석

삶이 의미를 잃은 것처럼 보일 때 실존적 피로감(existential exhaustion)이 시작되며, 이에 대한 해결책은 더 큰 목적을 찾는 것이다. 그러나 우리는 흔히 이 목적이 거창하고 포괄적인 것이어야 한다고 생각하지만, 실제로는 작고 구체적인 것으로 축소될 수 있다: 이 프로젝트를 끝내라, 이 할 일 목록을 체크하라, 그 목표를 향해 한 걸음을 내디뎌라. 활동은 그것을 현재의 하나의 통로로 집중시킨다. 노력의 한가운데서 당신은 오직 지금 여기에만 존재한다. William James는 어떤 행동이든 취하는 것이 "생명력의 감각"을 재생시키며, 개인이 다시 살아 있다고 느끼게 만든다고 말한다. 환경에 효과적으로 영향을 미치고 있다는 감각, 미완에서 완료로, 혼란에서 정돈으로, 미해결에서 해결로 옮기고 있다는 어떤 진전의 감각이든 — 당신이 효과적인 존재라는 것을 상기시켜주는 무엇이든 — 실존적 제2의 바람을 잡도록 도울 수 있다. 이것은 단순히 집을 정리하는 것에서 오는 이상하리만치 정화적인 활력을 설명해준다.

풀이 흐름

이 지문의 핵심 논지는 "행동을 취하면 생명력이 회복된다"는 것이다. William James의 인용이 이 논지를 뒷받침하는 결정적 근거로 사용된다.

지문은 James의 말을 "Taking action, any action, regenerates 'the sense of vitality,' making the individual feel alive again"이라고 인용한다. 즉, 행동은 생명력의 감각을 "재생시키고(regenerates)" 다시 "살아 있다고 느끼게(feel alive again)" 만든다.

따라서 James가 행동을 취하는 것이 생명력의 감각을 "약화시키고(diminishes)" 더 "피로하게 만든다(makes one feel more fatigued)"고 제안했다는 선지가 있다면, 이는 James의 주장을 정반대로 왜곡한 것이다.

전체 선지 분석

 

선지	판정	근거
① Existential exhaustion begins when a person perceives life as having lost its significance.	✅ 일치	지문의 "Existential exhaustion sets in when life seems to lose its meaning"과 직접 대응. begins = sets in, significance = meaning.
② Purpose can be compressed into small, concrete tasks such as completing a project or checking off a to-do list.	✅ 일치	지문의 "it can actually be telescoped down to something small and specific: get this project done; mark off these to-dos"와 정확히 대응. compressed = telescoped down, concrete = specific.
③ William James suggests that taking action diminishes the sense of vitality and makes one feel more fatigued.	❌ 불일치	지문은 "Taking action, any action, regenerates 'the sense of vitality,' making the individual feel alive again"이라고 명시. diminishes ↔ regenerates, feel more fatigued ↔ feel alive again으로 두 가지 모두 정반대.
④ A feeling of progress or of shifting things from disorder to order can provide a renewed sense of purpose.	✅ 일치	지문의 "Any sense of progress... of moving things from open to closed, from chaotic to organized... can help you catch an existential second wind"와 일치. renewed sense of purpose = existential second wind.
⑤ The surprisingly refreshing effect of tidying up one's home can be accounted for by this phenomenon.	✅ 일치	지문의 "This explains the strangely cathartic boost that comes from simply decluttering our houses"와 직접 대응. surprisingly refreshing = strangely cathartic, tidying up = decluttering.

핵심 문장 정리

"Taking action, any action, regenerates 'the sense of vitality,' William James says, making the individual feel alive again."

이 문장이 ③번 선지의 오류를 판별하는 결정적 근거다. 지문은 James가 행동이 생명력의 감각을 "재생시킨다(regenerates)"고 하며 다시 "살아 있다고 느끼게 한다(feel alive again)"고 서술하는 반면, ③번은 생명력을 "약화시킨다(diminishes)"고 더 "피로하게 만든다(feel more fatigued)"고 정반대로 서술했다.

한 줄 정리

William James는 행동이 생명력의 감각을 "약화시키고 피로하게 만든다"고 한 것이 아니라 오히려 "재생시키고 다시 살아 있다고 느끼게 한다"고 말했다.

In one study, psychologists Davis, Woolley, and Bruell presented children with a sequence of pictures illustrating a story about a girl, a bird, and a butterfly. The final picture depicted the girl with the bird nearby. The girl was waving her arms as if to fly, and a "thought bubble" above the girl's head indicated that she was thinking about the butterfly. Children were asked which of the two animals the girl was pretending to be. The girl's flying actions were consistent with both the bird and the butterfly, so if the children did not understand that pretending involves thinking about something, they should have chosen randomly between the two animals. However, even 3-year-olds were quite successful at this task, and 4- and 5-year-olds performed perfectly. This study suggests that by age 3, children have begun to understand that the act of pretending involves mental representation. This understanding improves with age, and seems to be relatively well established by about age 5.

Why do insects become resistant to a particular pesticide? In any population of plants and insects there will always be that rare individual which survives exposure to a toxic agent. For example, if the pesticide works by blocking a specific enzyme, then it might be that this one individual has a slightly different arrangement of atoms around the enzyme's active site, and this prevents the toxin from gaining access. That being so, then its descendants will also have that protection and within a few years a significant population of resistant insects will defeat the efforts of the farmer to kill them off. If the resistant gene is dominant enough, it will spread throughout the entire species of insect. More worrying is that the resistant gene not only blocks this particular pesticide but may block other pesticides as well.

Empathy could be a highly generalized characteristic in that people who are empathic toward animals would be more likely to be empathic toward people. This inclination makes sense if we assume that many of the processes underlying empathy (a living creature is involved, distress cues can be perceived and correctly identified, relieving the distress of another is a valued trait) are applicable to both people and animals. Unfortunately, however, a lack of empathy may also be a general characteristic of some people; little concern or care is shown toward victims of distress, human or animal. There is also the possibility that empathy is more specific. Some people may be highly empathic toward the suffering of other human beings but insensible to or unconcerned with animal distress. The opposite may also occur in cases where a person has great affection and empathy for animals but cares little for the concerns and welfare of other people.

Some teachers and critics advise beginning writers to write only from their personal experience, but I feel that this is a misleading and demeaning rule. The kind of "writing what you know" that is least likely to produce good fiction is trying to tell just exactly what happened to you at such and such a time. Probably all good fiction is "autobiographical" in some way, but the awful or hilarious or tragic thing you went through may offer as many problems as possibilities when you start to turn it into fiction. The first of these is that, to the extent you want to capture "what really happened," you remove your focus from what will work as narrative. Young writers, offended by being told that a piece is unconvincing, often defend themselves by declaring that it really happened. But the credibility of a story has almost nothing to do with fact. Aristotle went so far as to say that a "probable impossibility" makes a better story than an "improbable possibility," meaning that a skillful author can sell us glass mountains, UFOs, and hobbits, while a less skilled writer may not be able to convince us that Mary has a crush on Sam.
