Can you believe it? Yesterday was the first time I've seen Forrest Gump. I know it's already an old movie but I never got around to finish it. I may have partially watched it at some point of my life when I was young but never really seen it. It got me thinking, if I watched this movie before I got to watch it at this point of my life, will the effect be different? Will I be able to appreciate it the way I did. I wouldn't know.
I loved how the story started with a feather and ended up with the same flying, off to the next story that it would witness. And the feather didn't even had any idea of the great adventure it had been hearing. Just like how Forrest was witnessing all these great events in history without paying attention, without knowing the importance of it all. That's life, I guess. But why would you bother yourself with all the things going around you when you have your own life to live?
Sometimes I think we occupy ourselves with too much external events that don't even concern us just so we could claim that we are involved. But what's so bad with being indifferent sometimes, huh? Oftentimes, it is more important o focus on things that are within reach because if we take these things for granted then we may not be ready when they are taken away from us.
Well, "That's all I have to say about that." "I'm pretty tired... I think I'll go home now."
That's all I have to say about that.
