We all need to think for ourselves

George is a very unique person. Compared with most of his peers, he has mature ideas and unique views. He doesn't care about the opinions of others, and even he doesn't care about everything around him, including his parents. He believed in that sentence, "We live alone, and we will die alone, and life is nothing but a void", so he thought, in this case, why do we live so tiredly, and what is the meaning of everything. That's because he hasn't found the meaning of life yet. But at the same time, he is not good at communication, he is not proactive, he is too rational, there is no need to ask why some things, and some things cannot be broken, otherwise it will be very boring, because this is a person, maybe he knows it himself, but he still will ask. What he lacks is enthusiasm for life. He is working hard, but he has never really understood himself, found what he believes in, and expressed his inner truth.
On the other hand, we all know that Sally is a heartthrob. She is beautiful, sexy, and hot. She is the object of many boys. The reason why she does not have a boyfriend is because of her own experience. All the same, people who think the same thing about her are together. At the same time, although George is a bit weird, he has a very character, always has his own opinions, and has different attitudes towards her. They have common problems. She needs someone who understands her. George has a good impression. Once you have a good impression of a person, it is easy to ignore his shortcomings. From the beginning, Sally kept hinting to George, waiting for his reply, but he did not respond. As time went by, No one can wait any longer. Life can't be without fun. It can be said that no matter who it is, it is indispensable. If you're always so cynical and so out of place, then it's not society's problem, it's not human's problem, it's your own problem. Sometimes our society rejects those who have weird ideas and behaviors, but at the same time there will always be someone who agrees with you, but you don't know where he is, so unless you can endure this kind of loneliness. George is too objective to look at the problem.
It's not easy to find someone who will always be there for you, no matter what the situation, even your own parents. I heard a sentence, "true love should not have secrets", so someone commented that the person who said this sentence, first, he didn't know what love was at all; second, he didn't know what it was secret. So in the same way, "people who truly love each other don't need to change themselves for them." People who say this don't know what love is, and they don't know what change is. Until something happens to force you to make a choice, you will not know that you have to change, and you will not know that you have been running away. It is necessary and happy to change for the worthy.
Life is long and we're not all alone, it's just that you haven't found it yet. Maybe you just didn't pay attention.

The Art of Getting By quotes

  • George Zinavoy: I'm sorry, I ruined your night.

    Sally Howe: No, I'm sorry. I lost you. I didn't keep my promise.

  • Dustin: Women like being desired. Just throw her up against a wall and start kissing her. Chances are she'll kiss you back, and if she doesn't, at least you tried. You've got to do something or else you'll lose her.
