A frosty life, an insensitive life

We are always eager to have a good life. At the beginning, I would envy the life of the male protagonist. The life goes on regularly, and the seemingly prosperous and superior life is actually living an insensitive life. He will not perceive the beautiful things around him. The death of his wife makes him discover that life is full of metaphors. He will gradually pay attention to the things around him. He wants to put aside the surface of things to see the inner structure, destroy those flashy things, people Saying he is a drug addict, I think he just wants to change his numb life. At the end of the story, I accidentally opened the visor on the car, and inside it was a wrinkled note "You won't see me, it's sunny, you will think of me." The male protagonist left the first tear, which came from the heart. Feel the beauty that is ubiquitous in life but easily overlooked. The male protagonist demolished his fragmented life and rebuilt a good life on this ruin. We can't help but reflect on the relationship between destroying and rebuilding, and how to rebuild a better life without dismantling the old dross.

Chris: [interrupts] She's fucking crazy. If you haven't noticed, she's a fucking pothead. She calls it cannabis 'cause it makes her feel like less of a fucking pothead.
Davis: You say fuck a lot.
Chris: So?
Davis: So you're just not using it properly.
Chris: The fuck does that mean?
Davis: That's what I mean. Fuck is a great word, but if you use it too much then it just loses its value and you sound stupid.
Chris: Fuck you.
Davis: Exactly. I feel nothing and you sound like an idiot. Have a good one.
