face fear and work through

"That night, in bed, I invented a special kind of sewer. This sewer was attached under every pillow in New York and led to the reservoir. When people cry and sleep, all their tears go to the same place, In the morning the weatherman can report whether the water level in the reservoir of tears is rising or falling, so you can tell if New York is in a heavy heart."

This passage appears not long at the beginning of the novel, and I read it on the high-speed train. Tears came down then.

This is a novel that the teacher will tell after dawn. The course is called "Fiction and Horror" - from the Auschwitz concentration camp to the current 9/11, the series of novels, movies and theories I have read so far have made me depressed and depressed.

Watching the movie of the same name in the middle of the night made me cry, and I couldn't watch it for the last ten minutes.

The time should be counted as yesterday's day, and I'm looking at the event theory. One theorist said that in a strict sense, any event has at least two "occurrences"; one is the actual occurrence in collective cognition; These are "residues of existence". 911 may sway and imprint in countless individual cognitions; causing trauma, shock, fear, and vertigo. Like me at the moment, it doesn't make no sense. Not everything can be explained by common sense, but all events need to be "work through" artificially.

  • Oskar Schell: It's just a box! An empty box!

    Linda Schell: I know it's an empty box! I know this. But I did it for me, and I did it for you so we can at least try and say goodbye to him. Because he's gone, Oskar, he's gone and he's not coming back. Never. I don't know why a man flew a plane into a building. I don't know why my husband is dead. But no matter how hard you try, Oskar, it's never gonna make sense because it doesn't. It doesn't... make... sense!

    Oskar Schell: Fukozowa you! You don't know anything!

  • [first lines]

    Oskar Schell: There are more people alive now than have died in all of human history, but the number of dead people is increasing. One day, there isn't going to be any room to bury anyone anymore. So, what about skyscrapers for dead people, that are built down. They could be underneath the skyscrapers for living people, that are built up. We could bury people 100 floors down. And a whole dead world could be underneath the living one.
