which things made you think that?

for me the idea cropped up when he talks about "the vanishing point"
which is suggestive but I'm not sure how to express why that makes me
think about post-life planning...


mainly, though, the best indicator is that he doesn't act in his own
epicurean interests, but refuses Cremer's kind offer --

If he doesn't believe in some kind of transcendental rightness that he
has to answer to, be judged by, and expect non-earthly rewards from,
then why does he do that?
