Everyone has the imprint of the Phoenix Man in their hearts~~~ and the typical characteristics of the Phoenix Man are hard work, loneliness, low self-esteem, and a great fear of loss.

Analysis of Phoenix Men

They don't have the preeminent family background to help them be destined to be the best from the day they were born. Parents can't give them much other than being able to make them work on their own. What is more important is that they are often compared with people who do not work hard enough for them, but who, because of some natural condition, are able to be in their class.
When I say this, it doesn't mean that I agree to divide people into three, six, and nine classes, but there is no doubt that everyone has their own circle, and the difference between your circle and his circle is the meaning of class. Or a different word, but mathematically synonymous for sure.
Jealousy is one of the most basic emotions in my opinion. But in fact jealousy can be conquered. I have seen many such calm people, and I admit that I am not one of them. There is no motivation for me to deny jealousy. Because a person from an ordinary family like me could not have established great ideals.
I understand Nixon's jealousy as a child of a normal family.
For a well-educated child, jealousy is bound to be accompanied by inferiority, and jealousy is also accompanied by the fear of loss.
He was only a man who was out of balance for his ideals.

Frost/Nixon quotes

  • David Frost: [Picking up the phone, thinking it's room service] I'll have a cheeseburger.

    Richard Nixon: [drunk] Mmm. That sounds good. I used to love cheeseburgers, but Dr. Lundgren made me give them up. He switched me to cottage cheese and pineapple instead. He calls them my Hawaiian burgers, but they don't taste like burgers at all. They taste like Styrofoam.

  • Richard Nixon: David, did I really call you that night?

    David Frost: Yes.

    Richard Nixon: Did we discuss anything important?

    David Frost: Cheeseburgers.

    Richard Nixon: Cheeseburgers?

    David Frost: Goodbye, sir.
