Heartwarming

So I have been away for a long time. Lots of things going on in my life and had I blogged about them, all you would be reading was some senti or philosophical stuff which would not have made any sense to you. So I refrained. (I know this is quite lame an excuse for not blogging but I will stick to my argument!)

Now you must be wondering then that what I am doing here. Well, last night I saw 'It' and something inside me knew that I had to blog about it. 'It' made me think. 'It' made me realize how selfish all of us really are. How easily we say that the world is 'shit' but seldom do something to change it. Forget do, we don't even believe that we as an individual can actually try to bring about a change which would cascade across the world and change it. I guess we have become hard shells. We have lost faith in humanity. What with so much violence and treachery happening all around us.; this is bound to happen. But once in while someone or something comes up in our lives which tells us that all is not lost. We can if we want to. We might fail but at least we tried. Imagine if even half of us got back that lost faith, how much better the world would become.

So I would urge all of you to go and watch this splendid and heartwarming tale of how a class assignment of a young child,Trevor, becomes a country wide movement. This movie is called 'Pay It Forward'. I am sure everyone who watches it will feel differently about their life by the end.

As Trevor would say, " I guess it's hard for people who are so used to things the way they are - even if they're bad - to change. 'Cause they kind of give up. And when they do, everybody kind of loses. "
