Anyone who wants to really look more closely finds himself confused and emptied. Anyone may definitely stay confused if he or she decides that the others are not only news items to read about every morning or to watch on TV, but are persons that need everything in order to come out of their sorrow and isolation clothes as well as human and cultural contact. Anyone like this gets caught up in something that is so big that it can break down rules and banal thinking.
