!!SPOILER ALERT!! in Shutter Island:

When he realizes he's committed a terrible crime, the next day he goes back to believing he's a US marshal. His last words:

- this place makes me wonder...

+ Yeah, what's that, boss?

- Which would be worse, to live as a monster, or to die as a good man?

This is a sad reality of life, that leads many, to choose a fantasy over reality. How many of us consistently avoid this trap?
