Larisa Page #2

---

her film "Ascent".

If your life had been enriched

with care for another person,

then you have already

justified your existence.

This is evidence

of the spiritual life of a person.

These riches belong not to you

personally, but to the public,

if you live by the life of other people.

There're things

that are sacred to all of us.

There're well-defined

notions of good and evil,

of our morals.

There're such everlasting qualities

as love for your homeland.

What is this?

What are we born

into this world for?

What will we contribute to this world?

How can we make life better?

In the final analysis,

my possibilities as a person.

Your possibilities.

You're watching the very last

shot made by Larissa.

An eternal tree,

the symbol of indestructibility

and dignity,

the symbol of faith

in the endless continuation

of what we call "life".
