"死よ、私はあなたへの小さな依存が必要です。その急流、その死の量が必要です。"
— Anne Sexton
Simplified Meaning:
The quote talks about someone feeling a strong attraction to the idea of death, like a drug they crave. This person finds excitement or a thrill in thinking about death, much like how some people get a rush from risky activities like skydiving or extreme sports. Imagine a person who loves riding roller coasters. They know there’s a tiny chance something could go wrong, but the fear and excitement make the ride more thrilling and addictive for them. Similarly, the person in the quote is drawn to the danger and intensity of contemplating death. This behavior can be dangerous because constantly thinking about death or flirting with risky situations can lead to harm. It’s important for people to find healthy ways to feel excitement and deal with stress instead of seeking out dangerous addictions.
