Summary

This quote suggests that both cinema and detective stories provide an outlet for individuals to indulge in thrilling experiences, intense emotions, and imaginative fantasies that may not be readily expressed or accepted in a society that values humanism. By engaging with such forms of media, people can safely explore and unravel the darker or hidden aspects of their psyche without facing any real danger or consequences in reality. These art forms offer an escape and an opportunity to vicariously live through exhilarating adventures and suppressed desires that might exist in a person's subconscious.

Never do a single thing in the anticipation to prove something to someone who has hurt you. If someone has hurt or offended you (whoever that person may be), never perform anything or strive for anything in your life with the mind of proving something to that someone/ to those people. May nothing that you do be done with any thought of them in mind. There is nothing that needs to be proven.
