Summary

This quote suggests that there are certain individuals who capture our attention and interest through their ability to shock or surprise us. These people possess intriguing qualities or behaviors that challenge societal norms, making them stand out. However, once these individuals no longer have the element of surprise, they become less intriguing and lose their appeal. This can be interpreted as a reflection of human fascination with uniqueness and our tendency to seek out things that deviate from the ordinary.

Many people feel empty, a world that seemed so strong just collapsed. Forty years have been wasted on stupid strife for the sake of an unsuccessful experiment. The values gathered together have vanished, the strategies for survival have become ridiculous. And so forty years of our lives have become a story, a bad anecdote.
