Life is like a very good movie with a very sad ending.
You can either get some popcorn and malted milk balls and really get into it, or leave early because it's "just a movie and really doesn't matter".
Or to put it another way...
"Coming home from very lonely places, all of us go a little mad: whether from great personal success, or just an all-night drive, we are the sole survivors of a world no one else has ever seen."
--John le Carre
