What constitutes the tragedy of the aging concept of humanism, first desperately-depressively recognizable in some people of a mature age, then hanging resignedly discontentedly and ridiculously in the corners of their mouth, excites one or the other of the following generations to deal with the concept of values of virtue and responsibility, identity and society, to take samples of these lives, to give time a chance, or to build up an – as has been known since the beginning of humanity – drug-determined incalculable construct of frivolity, megalomania and complacent longing for death and thus to explore this line between life and counter-life and to occasionally plunge into each chosen universe.
