choose a way to die

If I could, I would choose my way of dying - from a drug overdose. The romantic old man is still romantic and spent his last years with his group of friends. Is he happy? I don't think so, I just think he's satisfied. In the end, the relationship with their children and lovers is a portrayal of many husbands and fathers who are hedonistic families. I have to admit that they love their children and their families. However, I also have to admit that their way may be lovers, and children are very Hard to feel. Often they also become victims of this family relationship. His son still deserves my admiration. And that drug overdose daughter. She said, "I can die at any time." The old man said, "I feel as poor and helpless as when I was born. I have not found the meaning of life. I should seek it." . He said he loves life, but he can already see the end of it. Death is the final destination. You can only get here in the life you love. Friends from the past can only go here.

The good news is that life can only be truly respected if you are in close contact with death.

Whether it's your own or someone else's.

The Barbarian Invasions quotes

  • Rémy: [in French] Contrary to belief, the 20th century wasn't that bloody. It's agreed that wars caused 100 million deaths. Add 10 million for the Russian gulags. The Chinese camps, we'll never know, but say 20 million. So 130, 145 million dead. Not all that impressive. In the 16th century, the Spanish and Portuguese managed, without gas chambers or bombs, to slaughter 150 million Indians in Latin America. With axes! That's a lot of work, sister. Even if they had church support, it was an achievement. So much so tha the Dutch, English, French, and later Americans followed their lead and butchered another 50 million. 200 million dead in all! The greatest massacre in history took place right here. And not the tiniest holocaust museum. The history of mankind is a history of horrors.
