DIRECTING INTENTION

Rich people can't be happy, surely not. I wanted to show this. And it's not only rich people who are incapable of happiness, I refuse to see how anyone living in a city can have any kind of meaningful life beyond the noise, the isolation, and the fear. Only when we leave the city can we see our true selves. I wanted to criticize the city because I'm sure that has never been done before. Not a blade of grass grows there, and yet the place is like an anthill. I picked characters who treated their dreams like oasis in the desert.
