The contradiction of the middle class is that when all the universal material needs are met, people start to want more.
To dream, to be affirmed. self-actualization.
When you are satisfied with material things, you are also bound by material things.

When you are mentally mature and financially independent, how can you just be content with pursuing more material things.
And the dream, not everyone's dream is a trip that says go.
It is simply immoral to abandon talent.

But not everyone can achieve their dreams.
In order to live, who is not deliberately exhausted and exhausted.

Who is not giving up everything. For a little paltry return, a car, a house.

Of course you can drink, smoke, race cars, find women, buy luxury goods, and all kinds of pleasures.

Slightly smarter kids don't indulge in these.
These ephemeral fast-moving consumer goods are nothing but desires that society has instilled in us. They say these things make people happy, so we don't doubt it.
But we are not there yet.
So there is struggle, so pain, division, conflict, withdrawal. plunged into darkness.

Who wants to be successful, how boring success is.
Losers are much more interesting.

Therefore, with such a relationship, two crazy people can see the light in each other.

There is no despair, no expectation, in a white and dark life, how can one redeem oneself?
music.
poetry.
Book.
and you.

Even if tomorrow maybe everything will disappear and no longer exist, nothing can stop me from getting close to you.
Come to me and I'll go with you.

  • Veronika: I want people to know that I'm killing myself rather than participate in the collective madness of this world we are all living in. This is not the real world.

    Veronika: Okay, so six months? Five months? Four months?

    Veronika: Two weeks or one week, which is it?

    Dr. Thompson: More like one.

    Veronika: I have to wait that long?

    Dr. Thompson: Well, uh...
