this is a part of a dialogue fromandrei Zvyagnitsevs's Elena movie:
-- Go on and have some babies. Maybe they'll turn out different.
-- Different from everyone else? There's no such thing as 'different'. And I don't feel like experimenting in that area: It's painful, and expensive, and pointless.
-- What is it with you and 'pointless'? Dumb excuses. You're just trying to avoid being responsible.
-- Dad, it's irresponsible to produce offsprings that - you know - are going to be sick and doomed, since the parents are just as sick and doomed. And only because cosi fan tutte; because there is some apparently 'higher meaning' to it all,which is not ours to comprehend.After all we are merely the executors of this higher purpose.Sh*t's gotta be tasty,millions of flies can't be wrong.And, anyway, the world will end soon enough, in case you haven't heard.
could you please Explain me the meaning of the bold sentences?
Thanks.
