Have you seen the film? A Serious Man is a rare movie that begins in medias res, and in the end recoils having no end, just like life.
But do you remember the final hard won blubbering answer the rabbi gives? Not so frivolous after all, actually the best the human race came up with so far.
As to "He's thinking," for whatever feeble or flashy moments I might have - this is what I enjoy doing - there's this documentary on the EKV, a very famous band from ex-Yugoslavia. Practically the whole band was wiped out on account of, say, drugs or AIDS.
Trust me, if you go to Serbia, just mention you like EKV - somebody is bound to buy you a drink instantly: such is the influence of someone who just loved life.
Where was I? Yes, so - a few years before the sad demise, they ask the lead what he would wish for if he caught a goldfish. This was the answer:
1 - that this never happened (the war)
2 - that I am healthy
3 - that I can make a living making music
I fully understand. And would wish for very much similair. So modest at first glance, it's actually asking for - all.
