"Even though you've been raised as a human being, you're not one of them. They can be a great people Kal-El, if they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way. For this reason above all their capacity for good, I have sent them you...my only son."
-Jor-El from trailer, Superman Returns
Like, whoa.
Like, that has such a strong underlying Christian theme la!! Just found out that Bryan Singer the director is Christian, also the same director of X-Men 1 and 2. So clever..and how heart-warming it is to see such subtle allusions. Can't wait for Superman Returns and X-men 3 to be screened now.. Seeing these movies in a very different light now!! Gonna try to spot more of such Christian parallels in future movies..
The world is simply Transactions. It's all about opportunity costs, and reaping from sowing. The words and deeds we all input into this massive blob we call the World..will someday and somehow return to us, in a similar measure and nature. What goes around comes around, whatever. It's like certain kind words, or particular mischievous deeds, or some irresponsible attitude, or a hopeful inner motivation, all examples- will in some way or another hit us back in the face, repaid in the entirety of its original quality and implication it had on the World.
This Eyeforaneye treatment toward other people or even ourselves need not be deliberately enforced ourselves..not a matter to be taken into our own hands. Well why, when Nature is going to do the job for us?
I have been surviving barrages of wrath in camp, time and time and time and time again! Almost came close to kissing my ORD goodbye..but then. I was always given the merciful treatment. Unlimited second chances, ostensibly. For this, I'm dreadfully indebted to all that Grace and Favour which I'm so privileged to savour. But at the same time, I have to truly learn and break out of this sickening comfort of taking for granted the welfare given us and throwing away my integrity. Will I ever learn??
I've got to be compliant from now on, bo pian. Discipline is some good training for the future. Also wanna keep my ass safe. 2 more months left- can't afford to cock up and miss the boat! Can you believe I was so scared that all my freedom would be murdered that I cried out?!~ I'm prickly ya?...I know, difficult to please and all.. But I'll choose to be frank and true and not beating around anymore.. NOTHING TO HIDE! And not used or moved by fear. Intrepid.
Time has just been seeping past my grasp. And Luck is all about timeliness..so may my eyes sharpen up- I'd have to start grabbing Life by its Time. And there's so little time to really focus on all that's important. Important ain't the same as urgent! I believe opportune moments we collide with have their specific purposes..
Like the revelation of Superman Returns. Thankew ILJH.
Totally out of control, this.
We all survive each day on sporadic and spasmodic flashes of dynamic stimulants. What's it going to be again, each new time?!? Sigh, no gratifying and memorable moments have the stamina to last for very long. Nor do sparks of brilliant form in performance or mentality have the capacity to stay dependably undeviating. The residual energies of today's niche. The familiarizing with a newfound one tomorrow. Grappling with the constant migration of the characteristic jargon and lingo, in and out of cliques. The fact that being belittled and derided are both results and causes of inevitable and inexorable comparisons founded in insecurity- makes me upset on dual levels..and for two parties altogether. Sigh.. I have underlying and unfair inclinations to envisage particular individuals' deserved responses from myself.
Aimless banter and empowering discourses both build bonds! So there.
The confessed word pertaining to my heart's desire in my army camp has provided a large area of opportunities to set foot on, and to work on. The Reading of a Sacred Book brings back some tranquility in a crazy world. Pun intended. And today, along with the Truth jab, Providence worked wonders once more with the potential inclusion of an additional member who'd strive together toward that Oneness we all tend to unwittingly discuss with our souls.
Totally within control, this.
Luck- I now see it in a whole new light! Luck is just a matter of whether we are more aware of opportunities that present themselves in our favour. Someone who considers himself lucky is actually a person who is filled with positivity and hope and is sharp to spot chances upon which he can grab for himself advantages and benefits. An unlucky person is simply someone who overlooks similar opportunities presented him. Wow. There's really no magic in chancing upon some money along the street when you're full of the notion that you're about to see a financial blessing coming your way.. OR finding the love of your life because you smile and expect to attract the girl you fancy when you're approaching her. You think this points to luck? Hah. Think again. In both cases, there is some effort: either being observant, or confident!
It's that still small Voice in you nagging at you not to trust that decent looking conman. It's that rush of cocksure bravado telling you to go ahead and close that precarious sounding business deal. It's that vague hint of an ominous qualm not to take the shortcut down that rapist reeking alley. It's that fleeting deterring hunch not to get up as early to take that bus that's been scheduled to blow up. ''What the.."
Gut instinct? Luck? Subconscious foreknowledge? The Holy Spirit? Whateveryoucallit man. We all attach connotations to words, so be careful which words you choose to use.
Sob. Illuminate my path..
"Jesus, take the wheel,
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own.
I'm letting go,
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on.
Jesus, take the wheel."
