This time, my blog is inspired by two movies : Seven Pounds & The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button. Both the movies made me think about how much we treasure life, appreciate people and their presence in our lives. It's about how we cherish each and every moment we face in life without taking it for granted and not just merely living our life. I would strongly recommend everyone to watch both of these movies. It's really worth watching as it makes you think deep about life.
The all time "What Ifs", "I wish" and "If Only" is always running in our minds. It's human nature to always expect to have more than what we can. We always want to have more in what ever we can have. We don't seem to look into what we currently have and we look into what more we can have.
We rarely cherish the moment we spent with our loved ones, only to think back and say "Those were the days". By that time, it might be too late for us to think back and cherish it. Memories last for a lifetime but it's how we cherish and enjoy the moment is what matters.
We rarely appreciate what people do for us. Just a note of appreciation means a lot for someone. We are always too selfish to bother about other people's feelings. We take people for granted. We disrespect the person, treat the person like as if the person means nothing to you but in real the person means the whole world. We are too self centered that we only care about ourselves, disregarding the fact that other people may be offended by what we say or do. But then again, we can't please everybody. This is what exactly that creates individuality. We can't expect every Tom, Dick and Harry to be the same. Life would be uninteresting and monotonous. But, just a smile, note of thanks and appreciation would bring a whole lot of happiness to our loved ones or even strangers.
It's weird how we human being, apart from the fact that we know we are alive, we actually wonder how life after death looks or feels like. And just when we're are dying, we would try our best to live life to the fullest. Why is it that we learn things only when we're already running out of time, only when it's already too late?? Why is it that we're dying to live when we are already dying.
At times, sitting back, looking back at the past, we wish to go back in time to relive those wonderful moments again and again. Reality strikes when we can't do that and we realize we didn't actually live up to that moment or cherish the moment that much. And we go, "I wish I could turn back time..." But it's way too late now as we can only reminisce the time...
