Response to I <3 Huckabees (I think....)

"Once you realise the universe sucks, you got nothing left to lose" - Tommy



But does it really suck? Sure we were all born into this strange and complex world and one day we will all leave it. There are times when we all feel down, when the very world appears to have collapsed around us. It appears as though time flows quickly, and the very memories of the past help to make that even more visible. But we can't ignore the good things in life neither.



"I know, that time is on a rush, to take me off the list, but this is what I say. Oh, the beauty of this life, although it plays with us sometimes, and no matter the outcome, there's always someone that loves us, there's always someone that protects us. Oh, the beauty of this life, although it may not last forever, if I live it with my people, if I live it till the end....."


And this is where "live life to it's fullest" kicks in. The world is always going to be full of sorrows, death and whatever else pairs up in that tone. But maybe this isn't the only way to view the world, prehaps you can affect that tv screen banach was talking about. You can say that the world sucks if you wanted to, but you can also look at it as a good thing. This also connects once again back to the movie where someone explained that we must actually have a balance between light and darkness. The detectives "weren't dark enough" and the lady was "too dark."

If we are too extreme on light or darkness we ignore the other one and eventually ignore reality. If your too light then you'd never notice the darkness that coexsists in the world. That darkness is death, war, suffurage and sadness. If you give in to the darkness then you ignore the joys of life. And perhaps connecting back to that long quote(which is actually a translation of a song), even though darkness exsists in our world, you just have to make the best of life.

Banach's Ideas: Part IV

While reading Banach's ideas, I came across a quote, "Can I freely and authentically choose to kill my mother, as Orestes does?." This brings up internal conflict. I believe you can freely kill your mother. However, the problem with executing the action is that part of you will resist. The only time you can successfully kill someone close to you such as your mother is if the motivation for it can break the spiritual barrier. Come on, she's your mother, do I really have to go into specifics? The human mind is never one sided. This being said, I disagree with Banach's whole "Your mind is a T.V screen." You never get one image, one screen in a situation like this one. Part of you will want to do something, but part of you will also resist. What the inside wants can't be put to words, it can only be felt.

To give an example, here's a scene from a video game(can't remember character names....):

(Boy wakes up to find that his father has a knife and is gonna kill him)

Boy: Dad what are you doing?

Guy who manipulated his father: "Yes what ARE you doing, kill him already!"

(Boy's father commits suicide)

King(Boy's father): You were a fool to think that I would kill my son.

This goes back to what I was saying. Although he was manipulated to the point where he was right next to his son with a knife, in the end, his inside overpowered the manipulation which caused him to commit suicide because his love for his son was greater than the control by the manipulator. And it is for this reason we can't kill our mothers or any other loved one. Of course it dosen't just apply to killing your loved ones, but it happens with minor things in everything life and other major examples.
