Fragment of Kassandra's Dream

Cassandra's dream, about human nature, about success, about family... After reading it, the whole person is depressed.

Regarding human nature, if everyone looks at it with a microscope, there will be a dark side, and everyone will suffer. From the Kassandra ship, the desire of the two brothers is unstoppable. You can kill people for a momentary desire, go unscrupulous, and when your own interests are related, your relatives can also betray them. The dark side of human nature is truly terrifying.

Regarding success, there is no pie in the sky, and temporary success in gambling will not help you reach the pinnacle of life. Relying on the success of others will never be as reliable as your own down-to-earth success. If Ian hadn't died unexpectedly, he might have everything he wanted, but no matter how well he pretended to be the murderous stain, he would always care about it if others couldn't see it. There will always be restlessness in your heart.

About family, what is family? It will help you when you are in trouble, but it is also conditional. Perhaps the most trusted person, but will use this trust to get you into the quagmire. In the face of interests, relatives are not as reliable as strangers. Powerful relatives will provide you with better platforms and more opportunities, but in turn, he wants to get more from you, and then you still have to thank him for the rest of your life and obey him. Compared to relatives who are not close, I would rather be a stranger.

Cassandra's Dream quotes

  • Father: Nobody wants to be selfish, but everybody is.

  • Mother: Everybody predicted great things for Ian. He's so nice looking and personable. Now, it's a mystery to me why he's not more successful.

    Father: Because he's not content with what he has. He sees himself like Howard, with a fancy life. Always got some scheme. Always waiting for his ship to come in.

    Mother: Well, his ship won't come in at the restaurant. He does that out of a son's love for his father.

    Father: Like the poet said, "The only ship certain to come in has black sails."
