Finding your place
"A normal man? For me, a normal man is one who turns his head to see a beautiful woman's bottom. The point is not just to turn your head. There are five or six reasons. And he is glad to find people who are like him, his equals. That's why he likes crowded beaches, football, the bar downtown..."
from 'Il Conformista' (1970)
For a little too long now I have felt little more than an observer from afar of life and detached from it all.
I think everybody wants to be SOMEBODY to somebody at times with a head full of doubts I feel like a nobody. A father is a SOMEBODY to his children, a WIFE is SOMEBODY to her husband, an employee is SOMEBODY to an EMPLOYER. What is my role or how can I become more of a SOMEBODY.
Perhaps there is an element of naivete in my viewpoint or romanticism?
What do you think?

I think even fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, presidents, priests...may feel like nobodies from time to time.
I believe one can feel like somebody regardless of what they are to other people. This is the opposite view, perhaps I'm the anti-romantic lol
