slightlypretentious: You will notice that what we are aiming at when we fall in love is a very strange paradox. The paradox consists of the fact that when we fall in love we are seeking to re-find all or some of the people to whom we were attached as children. On the other hand we ask of our beloved to correct all of the wrongs that these early parents or siblings inflicted on us. So that love contains in it a contradiction, the attempt to return to the past and the attempt to undo the past. But we must always remember that when we are born we need a great deal of love to persuade us to stay in life. Once we get that love, it usually lasts us. But the universe is a pretty cold place. It’s we who invest it with our feelings. And under certain conditions, we feel that the thing isn’t worth it anymore. We’re all faced throughout our lives with agonizing decisions, moral choices. Some are on a grand scale, most of these choices are on lesser points. But we define ourselves by the choices we have made. We are, in fact, the sum total of our choices. Events unfold so unpredictably, so unfairly, Human happiness does not seem to be included in the design of creation. It is only we, with our capacity to love that give meaning to the indifferent universe. And yet, most human beings seem to have the ability to keep trying and even try to find joy from simple things, like their family, their work, and from the hope that future generations might understand more.

The Gods Must Be Crazy

Social commentary on how we live our lives in civilization. Of all the things adulthood and modernity and “civilized life” chase away, it’s the sense of wonder that leaves the biggest hole.

C.R.A.Z.Y. a smart film, Christmas related. My take: Happy families are all alike on Christmas, unhappy family celebrate their unhappy Christmas in different ways…

Somewhat related to the current political climate (and extremely interesting imho): “The story of two North Korean schoolgirls and their families in the lead up to the Mass Games—the biggest and most elaborate human performance on earth.”
