Ennui, self-doubt, alienation, semi-despair...
These are the main features of the post-modern landscape, these are our inheritance.
I think that life without some greater good or goal to aim at is meaningless, and that the cultural products of the present Western society are cynical, isolating, always ringing hollow.
We can't get by merely making ourselves one big parody, based always on a false image. Like advertising imagery, a succession of things that never happened to anyone.
Or movie imagery, a parade of false ideals that make all ideals false.
