[ Because Sam'll believe that, believe that Kavinsky doesn't let anyone make him feel like that anymore.
The thing is - Sam's not a motivational poster. The thing is that Sam knows that shit like hang in there and buck up is useless garbage. And while he might believe that it does get better, he knows that telling someone that when they don't wanna hear it is just as useless. There was a time when Sam himself punched someone for it, when he broke someone else's nose for getting up in his face.
And Kavinsky might not be a soldier, but that doesn't matter. He has the same look, the same feel, of someone who's seen too much, done too much. Who thinks there's no coming back from any of it and so he just keeps going, going and going and going, chasing bigger thrills and bigger highs and doing everything he can to feel even the slightest bit alive, until the time when one of those thrills is his last.
He isn't good. ]
That's the biggest load of bullshit I've heard in a while. You're surviving, all right, and you're doing a damn good job of fighting whatever it is on your own terms - for now. But this ain't living. It's dying.
