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.

  1. Bryam- This post was very well written.

    I like how you explained the balance of the lightness and darkness of the world. You said, "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." and in the end, "Even though darkness exsists in our world, you just have to make the best of life." I agree with what you said here because personally that is how I feel I try to live my life because if we spend time dwelling over the bad, what will that do?

    Nice post- Sandy

  2. I agree with Sandy.

    Hey what're those lines in quotes? Are those song lyrics? What's the song?
