Quote reblogged from One Day, One Movie with 669 notes
The most important lesson in life: You cannot count on anyone except yourself. It’s sad but true, and the sooner you learn it, the better.
Text reblogged from DAYDREAMING
Taken directly from "The life of David Gale"
I liked and agreed with this entire line from the movie in which David Gale (Played by Kevin Spacey) is speaking to his college students.
According to the Lacan, fantasies have to be unrealistic. The moment you get what you see, you don’t want it any more. In order to continue to exist, desire must have its objects perpetually absent. It’s not the it that you want, it’s the fantasy of it. Desire supports crazy fantasies. According to Pascal, we are only truly happy when daydreaming about future happiness. Therefore, “the hunt is sweeter than the kill.” Also, and therefore, be careful what you wish for; not because you’ll get it, but because you’re bound not to want it once you do. As Lacan says, leading by your wants will never make you truly happy. Therefore, to be fully human, you have to strive to live by your ideals and ideas, and not to measure your life in terms of what desires you have gained but by those small moments of integrity, compassion, rationality and self-sacrifice. The only way we can measure the significance of our own lives, therefore, is by valuing the lives of others.

Wanting people to listen, you can’t just tap them on the shoulder anymore. You have to hit them with a sledgehammer, and then you’ll notice you’ve got their strict attention. ~John Doe Se7en
