We discussed
the sadness of his death
1:31:06
and the hazards of driving in fog.
1:31:09
Then went back to work,
1:31:12
and that was that.
1:31:21
Next day,
Our Hero didn't go to work.
1:31:24
No reason.
1:31:27
He just didn't want to.
1:31:46
For two days, he did little.
1:31:50
He thought about suicide,
1:31:52
its ironic usefulness.
1:31:55
"To destroy oneself,
the moral agent, "
1:31:59
wrote Kant,
1:32:01
"expels that much morality
from the world."
1:32:06
For all its apparent naiveté,
this argument
1:32:10
remained the only one.
1:32:14
Only our sense of duty
keeps us alive.
1:32:19
In concrete terms,
1:32:21
if you wantto have a useful duty,
1:32:24
make another being's happiness
1:32:27
depend on your existence.
1:32:38
Next Monday
Our Hero returned to work,
1:32:42
just for the sake of it.
1:32:58
I got the 20-watt speakers.
