The first is fate. Your past determines your present, and your present determines your future. Some injuries are so severe that you will never be able to escape his influence on you. Once you enter this vicious circle, you will never get out. While most people don't have such a huge influence, they still can't get rid of the future shaped by the past.
The second is loneliness. Human existence is always lonely, and no one can fully understand you, or even understand you. Whether your relationship is good or bad. If you die, they will live on and forget about you soon enough. We look at the fate of others, express some emotion, or disgust or sympathy, then turn our heads and move on with our own lives.
Third, no matter what people do, they will find excuses for themselves and forgive themselves, and people tend to protect themselves. (After Sean killed DAVE, he thought he did something wrong for his eldest daughter, and forgave himself to continue living for his family. In fact, it was just for himself, for his anger at losing his daughter and his own life)
Fourth, someone may have caught some weakness in you and used you for a reason he thinks is right, and you may never find out. Because weaknesses are also your blind spots.
I don't like the fact that Sean is the big brother of the underworld, and I don't know why. Maybe I think it affects my experience of the overall tragic atmosphere, or is suspected of using emotions.
