“When we keep in mind that someday our lives will come to an end, we can find gratitude for the present, even in suffering; we can decide how we want to live.”
“The movie starts in Barbie Land, a picturesque toy city by the beach, where almost all women are named Barbie. Their houses, outfits, bodies and careers are all extraordinary. Perfect. But before long, Margot Robbie's character, our protagonist Barbie, starts to experience "errors." While everyone is dancing at a party, she spontaneously asks "Do you guys ever think about dying?" No one at the party knows how to respond. In fact, they don't even think she's serious. Why would they? Barbie Land is a happy place full of happy things; death is not part of the equation. “
