I don't know how many people have seriously thought about what the purpose of their study is, I mean thinking at a deep level. Not only learning, but most people probably haven’t thought about the meaning of what they have done to their lives, including myself. The most profound consideration we have is what effect it will have on our own life. We often think of meaning as an expression of hypocrisy, ground coffee in an idler's cup, but this film speaks differently. We are often at a loss, whether it is when we are bored or when we are full of flies. Everyone should have their own philosophy of life, perhaps this will make our understanding of ourselves clearer, perhaps so that we will not be at a loss.
