43. Liability

In the end, she was still generous and decent, as if only a part of reason maintained her usual elegance and calmness.

Sammel's parents rushed to the hospital from New York and took Sammel's body with them.

The father warns Representative Foley that he is never allowed to see his daughter again—a murderer of Sammel has no such right.

Representative Foley doesn't listen to a word.

It was as if he had lost his senses, his skin and bones seemed to be turned into a rusty cell, and all sensations were imprisoned.

John didn't cry, and when he came home from school, he would sit on the cot in his room and stroke the wall repeatedly, or crouch in the pile of blocks at the dining table and count the blocks, over and over again.

Sammel's father not only disliked Foley, but also John.

Representative Foley is only glad that if he snatches John away from him again, then it will be meaningless whether he will be paralyzed or not, or even whether he can get equity or not.

Once these are removed from the list of life, your life is just a walking corpse.

People always have a purpose in life, he didn't lose his mind, he felt that he was just waiting for it to pass, he knew that John was still waiting for him in the opposite room, and he would give everything for John.

This instinct is not a goal at all, and a normal father would have such beliefs.

"Little one, go to sleep, I have to go to school tomorrow."

"Okay, Dad."

John would at least have something to do if he cried, and John just sat alone in the room, and he said everything that Foley said, neither angry nor crying.

Does he not understand anything, or is he like Samel who is used to hiding, hiding everything about himself? Representative Foley can't be sure.

The wife did not tell anyone what had happened to her until she died, and the terrible result was left to Forlì and John, and the living would spend their lives to bear it.

He was right, and across the street, Langkaram, who was no longer young, was also suffering the punishment of Sammel's departure, and the guilt was taken on the people in the neighborhood who had nothing to do with the family, and Langkalam might have been unable to sleep all night and eat for it, but no one could help her.

She needs to forget about these sins and give them to God or find an explanation for her self-deception, but she is a good person, a good heart, and such a good person is the last thing to bear this sudden hurt, and such a good person is the hardest to bear to leave herself and her guilt away.

Kindness is a needle sharpened at both ends.

Representative Foley didn't tell what was going on at Berus's house, he didn't think to tell anyone, because that wouldn't help, and time never turned back.

If her mother had gone to heaven as she wanted because of Ambien's overdose, perhaps it wouldn't have been Sammel's turn this time.

If my mother had died, perhaps I would have known earlier that those strong women had untold pain buried in their hearts, and that they had to end their lives in an extreme way to be relieved.

He couldn't be sure if his mother had killed herself, and that such a tragedy would not have happened to Samel now.

At this point, Representative Foley falls into a chaotic self-blame.

Suppose the mother dies by suicide by taking drugs; Suppose the mother dies because of her own choice; Let's say the mother never wakes up because of sleeping pills.

Foley will definitely find out about Sammel's abnormality sooner, and will take the initiative to ask and communicate harder.

Representative Foley drinks half a glass of water with ice cubes and tells himself that he can't think like this.

There is always a perfect life planned in the data device; There are always doctors in genetic companies who recommend that you spend half a day calculating all the physical data to determine your lifespan, talent, and disease risk.

If you wish, a person's life can be completely replaced with data, no different from a robot.

People, can't do it.

Foley, can't do it.

Thoughts slipped through the edge of the forbidden pool countless times, and the unrelieved worries finally turned into blame for oneself and guilt for the end.

Shame, regret, guilt.

These feelings come from a pool of thoughts, and human beings believe that they could have changed everything.

Langkalam believed she could change everything if she walked out into the courtyard and greeted John.

Representative Foley believes he could have changed everything if he had realized that something was wrong with Sammel the day before.

When Bellus learned about it three days later, he thought his years of unwillingness were jeopardizing his life and that of his friends, and that it was a ripple effect he had caused.

Ephia couldn't judge this for the rest of her life, she didn't see Shamel, but as long as she remembered Foley, the woman broke into her life and could never disappear again.

"All those who commit suicide lack responsibility to their families," says Representative Foley to his mother. The tone of this sentence is close to scolding. The mother was silent.

Should the deceased feel guilty about this? Representative Foley is no longer able to think.

If anyone can answer him at this time, it is better for that person to be God. It is impossible for humanity to believe that one of its kind can save its own outcast soul.

He fell asleep in the mire of reproach, and in the morning before the sun had risen, a woman rang the doorbell.

Representative Foley walks down the stairs, believing he is dreaming that if a woman is going to stand on the doorstep, who else but Sammel?

No, Sammel, never again.

At this moment, in the future, the intolerable moment will never go away. These are the parts of a person who died suddenly and did not disappear from the world.

"Forlì Eugene Soder."

The woman called out his name, with a different accent than an American, pronounced it forward, and was a little stiff when pronouncing Soder.

The rising sun was behind her, her face and back to the sun. There is only a black shadow in front of Representative in front of his eyes, like a ghost, like a dream, like a hologram.

If the emotion that Foley wants to shut down is sadness, then Berus must want to ignore fear.

But since human evolution, although emotions have troubled us and even made an easy life mess, it is still very dangerous to turn off emotions directly.

If something could be easily turned off, perhaps the situation would only be more intolerable.

For example, hunger makes people unable to keep working, and if the brain can simply call on some resources to eliminate this feeling, we will all be in danger of starving.

Many people who hear about pain loss disorder for the first time may think that this is not a bad thing, or even a good thing, but in fact, human beings have been living and thriving on this planet for a long time, and there is an inextricable link with having pain.

The same is true in the field of robotics, where it is difficult for a robot without a haptic feedback system to make reasonable judgments through common sense, such as cold, heat, and pain, which humans can feel by instinct and intuition alone, while robots require a lot of calculations.
