Necessity is the Mother of Invention

That would describe in a way what drives the plot of Christopher Nolan‘s upcoming film Interstellar. First teaser trailer, living right up to it’s name was just released. Watch it in all it’s glory. While we might be years away from space interstellar travel, that’s a way of solving humanity’s problems as far as resources and natural aspect is concerned. Though that’s far from the problems we have.

Okay I’ll shut up without further deviating, just watch this already:

“We’ve always defined ourselves by the ability to overcome the impossible. And we count these moments, these moments when we dare to aim higher to great barriers, to reach for the stars, to make the unknown known.

I count these moments as our proudest achievements, but we lost all that. Or perhaps we’re just forgotten that we’re still pioneers, that we’ve barely begun.

And that our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us, because our destiny lies above us.”

Your Journey Is Your Own

“I feel like my life has taken a turn. I’m heading down a road I’ve never been on before.

Nothing is familiar. The signs don’t make sense.

Do I get off the road, or do I keep riding?

Do I go alone or take others with me?

Who do I trust for the journey?

I now understand why being a leader requires isolation.

I have to remove myself from those whose lives were affected by my decisions. Those I love… as well as those I hate.

It’s getting more and more difficult to be a brother, when my decisions are the ones a father has to make.

By the time you’re old enough to make sense of this life, you’ll know everything about me, the things I’m proud of and the things I regret, and then you’ll be faced with your own decisions. And as much as I want to help you, tell you what to do, those choices will be yours alone.

The only advice I can give you, sons, is to examine who you are as men.

Figure out what’s important to you. Know yourselves. Know what’s in your heart. Don’t be swayed by fear or history or the opinions of outsiders.

Find your own truth.
It will lead you to the things you love.” – Jackson “Jax” Teller (Sons of Anarchy, S06E01)

My Precious

Who is the person in your life who can do no wrong? Describe this person and tell us why you hold them in such high esteem.

I wish I had a definitive answer for this one, I really really do. But the truth is there can’t be such a one, even you can’t even put your own name as an answer for this one. Our mistakes and flaws, no matter how bad, is what keeps us alive.

Also on another note, I just came back some time ago from watching The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug at a special screening. Good watch. My precious, get it?

Love and Loss

One is not always good in expressing loss. You might argue it’s difficult to express love and yet for the same, disappointment is easy.

I read this wonderful article through a friend, which I recommend to be read. Whether you have been in love, fortunate to be in, or still waiting for the missing piece of your life, this will make you ponder. And smile. (and probably feel, but let’s not get there for now)
