Summary

This quote suggests that a superficial and insincere smile is comparable to a green light at an intersection. While it may provide a fleeting moment of satisfaction, it lacks a lasting impact. Just like how we quickly forget about a green light once we've passed it, a bland smile fails to make a lasting impression, and its effect is easily forgotten. It emphasizes the importance of genuine and meaningful expressions of kindness and happiness that leave a lasting impact on people.

How would that premise stand up if he examined it? That was probably why the Communists were always cracking down on Bohemiansism. When you were drunk or when you committed adultery you recognised your own personal fallability of that so mutable substitute for the apostles' creed, the party line.

Everything dies eventually. We all know that. People, cities, whole civilizations. Nothing lasts. So if existence was just binary, dead or alive, here or not here, what would be the fucking point in anything? My mom used to say that's why we have memory. And the opposite of memory - hope.
