Although I finished it in one go

Is human nature really so brilliant? It's not realistic. But the plot is exciting and it makes sense in theory. In my opinion, the sacrifice of the two people is more about the despair of society and their own lives. The life of despair and the unrealistic brilliance of human nature makes people more desperate. The significance lies in the impact of non-profit organizations on social progress. It is worth affirming that I have to write enough words. Wait, I will add it later. One, two, three, four, Spain's collective silver, but I'm afraid it won't be because others are sloppy.

The Life of David Gale quotes

  • Constance Harraway: Stop that!

    David Gale: What?

    Constance Harraway: Active listening, I hate active listeners. I always feel like they're to busy *pretending* to be listening to hear what I'm saying.

    David Gale: I can listen and actively listen at the same time. I'm good at that.

  • David Gale: Fantasies have to be unrealistic because the moment, the second that you get what you seek, you don't, you can't want it anymore. In order to continue to exist, desire must have its objects perpetually absent. It's not the "it" that you want, it's the fantasy of "it." So, desire supports crazy fantasies. This is what Pascal means when he says that we are only truly happy when daydreaming about future happiness. Or why we say the hunt is sweeter than the kill. Or be careful what you wish for. Not because you'll get it, but because you're doomed not to want it once you do. So the lesson of Lacan is, living by your wants will never make you happy. What it means to be fully human is to strive to live by ideas and ideals and not to measure your life by what you've attained in terms of your desires but those small moments of integrity, compassion, rationality, even self-sacrifice. Because in the end, the only way that we can measure the significance of our own lives is by valuing the lives of others.
