He said he was thinking, but he was actually searching. Struggling to find meaning in life, and then feeling a little out of place in the immediate society.
He could not meet his father's expectations. A successful lawyer likes a new assistant who is a year younger than his son but has graduated from law. Stopped Nick's account and only gave him money for a haircut and shoes. In the eyes of his father, he was a loser who continued to give up halfway, and then he was burdened with his father's resentment towards his mother. When will he come out on top.
He doesn't fit into the circle of friends. One is a neighbor and a friend, a second-rate actor or several. Another may be a girlfriend who just broke up. It is too difficult for him to talk, and it may be better to borrow a fire from others.
The people he is willing to deal with are those who are ignored or those who have concerns. The man who lives in the basement, the old man who is neglected by his grandson, the classmate who has the shadow of growing up, and the old man who finally died of drunkenness on the street.
What's wrong with these people? These people are willing to take the initiative to talk. As long as he listens, although he will be annoying, he will feel that he is fine and his situation is fine.
He never forgets to bring fire, or does not know how to bring fire, and is willing to borrow fire. He's been wanting a cup of coffee, but it's sold out!
This is the embarrassment of life, the more you think about it, the sadder it becomes. Too many things, as if by coincidence, have always appeared in groups.
The empty lens is the outlet for thinking that he can't find.
Maybe he didn't think about anything, but was mixed up and walked away, too late to think.
