Weil alle Leben miteinander verwoben sind... '23 Leben' beschäftigt sich mit dem Thema, inwieweit unsere Handlungen oder Nichthandlungen Einfluss auf das Leben eines Nächsten haben. Warum läuft ein athletischer Mann in den Autoverkehr, nachdem ein sibirischer Strafgefangener einen Brief verfasst hat? Oder warum setzt eine Frau ihren Job beim Jugendamt aufs Spiel, nachdem ein Mann aus der IT-Abteilung die Rechnung im Lokal nicht bezahlt?

It's the rule--always watch your fives and twenty-fives. When a convoy halts to investigate a possible roadside bomb, stay in the vehicle and scan five meters in every direction.

People today hardly ever think about Hell unless it is a scene in a Hollywood blockbuster. A journey of despair and distress can be metaphorical, but it can also be quite literal and waiting around the next corner. No one plans on sudden health complications or a substantial loss of income, but life is full of randomness and the unexpected. No matter how much we fool ourselves into thinking that we have a firm grip on our fate, a transformative change can cause the fairy tale to fade and disappear.
