Elisabet? Can l read you something
from my book?
:22:15
Or am l disturbing you? lt says here:
:22:18
''All the anxiety we bear with us,
all our thwarted dreams'' -
:22:23
- ''the incomprehensible cruelty,
our fear of extinction'' -
:22:28
- ''the painful insight
into our earthly condition'' -
:22:31
- ''have slowly eroded our hope
of an other-wordly salvation.''
:22:37
''The howl of our faith and doubt
against the darkness and silence'' -
:22:42
- ''is one of the most awful proofs
of our abandonment'' -
:22:46
- ''and our terrified,
unuttered knowledge.''
:22:51
Do you think it's like that?
:22:57
l don't believe it.
:23:00
Making changes...
The worst thing with me is l'm so lazy.
:23:04
And then l get a bad conscience. Karl-
Henrik scolds me for lacking ambition.
:23:09
He says l go around like a sleepwalker.
l think that's unfair.
:23:13
l was best in my group with the exams.
But he probably means something else.
:23:20
You know...
:23:22
Oh, sorry. You know
what l sometimes think of?
:23:26
At the hospital where l did my exam,
there's a home for old nurses.
:23:30
Ones that have always been nurses,
lived for their work. Always in uniform.
:23:36
They live in their small rooms. lmagine
devoting your whole life to something.
:23:42
l mean, believing in something.
Accomplishing something.
:23:46
Believing that one's life has a purpose.
l like things like that.
:23:51
Sticking to one thing doggedly,
irrespective. l think one ought to.
:23:56
Mean something to other people.
Don't you think so as well?
