The contradiction of the middle class is that when all the universal material needs are met, people start to want more.
To dream, to be affirmed. self-actualization.
When you are satisfied with material things, you are also bound by material things.

When you are mentally mature and financially independent, how can you just be content with pursuing more material things.
And the dream, not everyone's dream is a trip that says go.
It is simply immoral to abandon talent.

But not everyone can achieve their dreams.
In order to live, who is not deliberately exhausted and exhausted.

Who is not giving up everything. For a little paltry return, a car, a house.

Of course you can drink, smoke, race cars, find women, buy luxury goods, and all kinds of pleasures.

Slightly smarter kids don't indulge in these.
These ephemeral fast-moving consumer goods are nothing but desires that society has instilled in us. They say these things make people happy, so we don't doubt it.
But we are not there yet.
So there is struggle, so pain, division, conflict, withdrawal. plunged into darkness.

Who wants to be successful, how boring success is.
Losers are much more interesting.

Therefore, with such a relationship, two crazy people can see the light in each other.
Others see only smoke, I see fire.
When death is close to me, I just want to be close to you.

There is no despair, no expectation, in a white and dark life, how can one redeem oneself?
music.
poetry.
Book.
and you.

Even if tomorrow maybe everything will disappear and no longer exist, nothing can stop me from getting close to you.
Come to me and I'll go with you.

    A long time ago, there was a powerful wizard who wanted to destroy a kingdom. He poured a bottle of magic water into the drinking well. Everyone who drank it went crazy. The king saw his people become like this, and he was disheartened and wanted to leave. But the queen stopped him and said, let's drink that water and become like them. After they drank the water from the well, they also became madmen, and were able to stay and continue to govern the country until they died of old age. - People who are misfits will never have a place to live in the world.

    "When desire comes, you get scared." The music is moving, especially the piano sound when the two of them are together.

Veronika Decides to Die quotes

  • Edward: How do you feel?

    Veronika: Like I could live forever.

  • Veronika: [first lines]

    Veronika: Well, let's see. After you decide that I'm depressed, or whatever, you'll put me on meds, right? Well I know hundreds of people on them and they're all doing just fine. Really. I'll go back to work on my new anti-depressants, have dinner with my parents and persuade them I'm back to being the normal one who never gives them any trouble. And one day some guy will ask me to marry him. He'll be nice enough. That'll make my parents very happy. The first year we'll make love all the time, and in the second and third less and less. But just as we're getting sick of each other, I'll get pregnant. Taking care of kids, holding onto jobs, paying mortgages, It'll keep us on an even keel for a while. Then about ten years into it he'll have an affair because I'm too busy and I'm too tired. And I'll find out. I'll threaten to kill him, his mistress... myself. We'll get past it. A few years later he'll have another one. This time I'm just going to pretend that I don't know because somehow kicking up a fuss just doesn't seem worth the trouble this time. And I'll live out the rest of my days sometimes wishing my kids could have the life that I never had. Other times secretly pleased they're turning into repeats of me. I'm fine. Really.
