" I was lonesome ". So I am ... " Scene from Midnight Cowboy movie
I am reminded of a scene in " Midnight Cowboy " . The would be stud character Joe Buck listens to this cracked soul saver :
[YEAH.
LONESOME.
I'M LONESOME.
SO I'M A DRUNK.
[WOMAN]
SHUT UP!
I'M LONESOME,
SO I'M A DOPE FIEND.
I'M LONESOME,
SO I'M A THIEF!
I'M LONESOME,
SO I'M A FORNICATOR,]
I WAS LONELY, SO I COMMITED SUICIDE AND TOOK MY DOG WITH ME !
There are SOCIAL ROOTS to mental depression in this " Pursuit of Loneliness " capitalist society . It mass produces so many LOST SOULS who also commit slow suicide through drugs and alcohol.
" I WAS A FAILURE, SO I COMMITED SUICIDE ! "
Lyrics of Beatles song : " Eleanor Rigby ".
" All the lonely people
Where do they all
come from .... "
