This statement serves as a reminder that happiness cannot solely be achieved through material possessions or financial stability, and that there are deeper, intangible factors that contribute to a fulfilling life.

Vivid, beautiful hallucinations flashed through his mind. He would flog her to death with a rubber truncheon. He would tie her naked to a stake and shoot her full of arrows like Saint Sebastian. He would ravish her and cut her throat at the moment of climax. Better than before, moreover, he realized why it was that he hated her.
