David looks back on the choices that made him who he is today and af himself: could I have chosen differently? Because David can do what he wants, but could he have wanted differently? And does he actually know what he wants?
Questions demand answers and answers demand words. David searches for the meaning of life with full sentences full of meaningful nonsense. He believes you don't find answers without words. Without words, you only find "ant" and there is no use for that.
