superfluous
It strikes me as superfluous or even absurd to see people trying so hard to impress everyone. It won’t work, and it doesn’t need to work. Shaping yourselves so violently to appeal to people around you will just make you so eroded that in the end, you have no more character of your own. I am lucky because I have the luxury to say this. Many people don’t have the courage to stop impressing others, because they lack that sense of security with themselves. People fear loneliness, and it’s sad to see that they are trying to hide that fear, instead of overcoming it. This is not a judgment. This is just a thought.
“Never Let Me Go” by Kazuo Ishiguro. Never Let Me Go breaks through the boundaries of the literary novel. It is a gripping mystery, a beautiful love story, and also a scathing critique of human arrogance and a moral examination of how we treat the vulnerable and different in our society. In exploring the themes of memory and the impact of the past, Ishiguro takes on the idea of a possible future to create his most moving and powerful book to date.
