"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.
