There are no things in the world that would make it worth taking your mind off the one you love.

Get out at any cost, get out of these foreign walls, from this trap set by fate.

However, for many reasons, the first of which is habit, continue to act according to the request circumstances. To die on their own means to recognize, albeit unconsciously, the ridiculousness of this habit, no deep reason to live, the absurdity of the everyday hustle and bustle and unnecessary suffering.
