We are actively as a society trying to avoid friction at all costs. It's not just in our art, but it's also in the way we move about the world. It's about the way we interact with our loved ones. It's the way we avoid having tough conversations and calling things out as they are.
Bad breath is kind of a metaphor for humanness, for being a human being, for loving somebody enough to tell them something that might be painful in the short term but very helpful in the long term.
