Perhaps idealists and nihilists are equally absurd.

A kind of love hits it off. A bowl of Chongqing noodles. A song in the rain. I hit eighty points.
Another kind of love is chasing after it. Unlimited wealth and prestige. Travel, flowers and candlelight. I give forty points.
However. Perfect love is never the whole life.

One hundred points of faith is needed.
It can be God. But it's a dream job. It can also be how many years you have been operating yourself.

In any case, we will live a life beyond full marks.
Maybe it is 140 points of decent material.
Perhaps it is 180 points of spiritual asceticism.

It’s the passage of time that took away the double hundred
in the second grade and planted an increasingly swollen desire behind

us. When we couldn’t bear the reckless attempt to fill that emptiness for a few minutes,

we made mistakes
we got shit all over ur face
we messed up

At this time, you
don’t even have the 100 points of faith,

and then you learn to cherish and
accept
that life with 140 points is
better than 40.
