They called it the Good Samaritan Law on the account like you're supposed to be helping people if they're in trouble.

It was your duty and whatnot, and if you didn't, then you got arrested. But yo, not only did the homies do jack, they also laughed at this fat dude while he was getting murdered.

I ain't gonna lie, that was messed up, but it's pretty funny.

You staring at this thing, you want to play nice. It's not for you. So who's it for? Them? Nobody. You know, back in the Age of Enlightenment, this huge chest was a maze of self-improvement 'cause it wasn't no Tony Robbins DVDs back then.

This was it. So what you're playing for then?

There's no rule. Then what's the what, what's it for? Existence. Don't smile, snake's right there. So what you waiting on?

What do you dream, Elliot? You scrape it so hard, like univac yourself. This is before I said, do you want to be here right now?

And I don't mean like here here, I mean here in a cosmic sense, bro. Like existence could be beautiful or it could be ugly, but that's on you.

How do I know which one's for me? Dream. You gotta find out the future you're fighting for. Sometimes you gotta close your eyes and really envision that, bro.

If you like it, then it's beautiful. If you don't, then you might as well fade out right now.

Mr. Robot

Existence can be beautiful or ugly, depending on your vision of the future you are fighting for.

You must envision that future and decide if it aligns with what you want, otherwise you might as well fade away.

Consider what you are playing for in life and what existence means to you.

The speaker emphasizes the subjective nature of existence, suggesting that **beauty or ugliness depends on individual perception**. It's not about the literal "here," but a "cosmic sense" of being.

The key to finding your path is to "dream" and **envision the future you're fighting for**. If you find that vision appealing, then existence is beautiful; if not, there's little point in continuing.

The speaker references the "Good Samaritan Law," which implies a duty to help those in need. However, the story highlights a stark contrast: people not only failed to help but also mocked a person being murdered, showcasing a disturbing lack of empathy. **This juxtaposition emphasizes a moral decay or indifference within society**.

The speaker probes deeper, questioning the purpose of actions and existence itself. The analogy to the "Age of Enlightenment" and its "maze of self-improvement" suggests a search for meaning in a world without explicit rules. **The central question becomes: what are you playing for?**

The dialogue shifts towards Eliot, directly asking, "What do you dream?" and "Do you want to be here right now?" This highlights the importance of self-reflection and **actively choosing one's existence rather than passively accepting it**.

The speaker discusses existence and finding one's future.

Existence can be beautiful or ugly, depending on the individual's perspective.

To determine one's future, one must envision it and decide if it's desirable.

A story about the Good Samaritan Law and people's inaction.

People didn't help someone in need and laughed at them while they were being murdered.

Questioning the purpose of playing a game and existence itself.

The speaker questions who the game is for and emphasizes that there are no rules.

The speaker asks, 'What do you dream, Eliot?'
