Dal copione
As you can see, the lifeline is divided into two polar extremes.
Fear and love.
Fear is in the negative energy spectrum.
— Love is in the positive energy spectrum. — No, duh.
Excuse me? "No, duh" is a product of fear.
Well, life isn't that simple.
Who cares if Ling-Ling keeps the money?
It has nothing to do with fear or love.
They are the deepest human emotions.
Ok. But you're not listening to me.
There are other things to take into account — the whole spectrum of human emotion.
— How do I learn how to fight?
Son, violence is a product of fear. Learn to truly love yourself —
TRULY love yourself — and the world will be yours.
It's a heartbreakingly sad story about a young man
whose life was completely destroyed by these instruments of fear,
a young man searching for love in all the wrong places.
His name was Frank.
