I love this movie
It is so beautiful and enlivening. It is rather stark and yet not at all hollow, thin, or shallow. It reminds me of how opposite the real world is. So crowded, overflowing, out of control. Despite there being so much in so many places it is still so empty, so shallow, so vacuous. I was thinking the other day as I do. talking in my head. Things I intend to write later but never get the chance to. I was thinking about that bit from macbeth about life. A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. I think it popped into my head in regard protesters and activists. Extremists and all those whose emotions lead them. People who are without logic, awareness and control. Whose vision is short, narrow, and clouded. I think a perfect analogy is how there is this myth that is often perpetrated in fictions that launching a nuclear missle into an asteroid will save us. Those who think that an explosion with more fire and smoke will do more damage. The prettier the surface, the more valuable the object. That diamonds have any actual value or permanence. It is all a world of assumptions based upon superficial experience. The answers to deeper problems are found in superficial solutions. They make superficial connections with others and wonder why they do not last. People talk about a deeper world as if it is some illusory untouchable thing. They talk about real answers to the problems of the world as if they are so great and out of reach. I can't recall exactly what got me onto the protesters and activists. Something on the radio. It just struck me how people can make such a fuss, get into fights, devote so much time and attack so many people without any real consideration of what they are saying and the true meaning of it all. It just goes further to make it clear how people think and exist in such an isolated vacuum. There are some who others would categorize in the vein of activists and protesters that to me are lovely refreshing group as they talk about balance. When they reach out to educate they talk about their subject in its context within the larger vision of existence. They are not trying to force or destroy. They seek to educate, heal and cure. They are quite rare. In general I ignore the thoughts and feelings of just about everyone. What they think or believe doesn't really matter as it is almost never based on any deep analysis and at best their data sources are suspect. I share empathy when merited, to those who merit it. What I am losing is my ability to play along with the artifice that everyone treats with such gravity. Everyone is so caught up in it and utterly blind to everything else. I can't feign that consideration any more. I certainly cannot agree with someone that just because they think something, that something is true or remotely important. People can make such a big deal out of things and yet be so absolutely incapable of explaining any solid grounds or route of logic upon which that belief is based. I don't know I just believe it. You can believe a car won't hit you, but if you stand in the street I don't want to hear you cry when you get your surprise. Emotions are appropriate when they are appropriate. People do not believe animals have emotions and that emotions are some superior human thing. When the opposite is true. Emotions are the effects of hormones in the system and nothing else. NOTHING ELSE. The effects of emotions on an animal are clear and logical. Fear, reactions to pain, reactions to memories of pain, and other such things are clearly to help the organism protect itself, to stay clear of danger. In the state of nature, which people foolishly believe we are somehow separated from, To avoid danger extends your life and increases the possibility of offspring you can produce. PTSD is obviously a perversion of that system. When people talk about being happy, joy, these things that soothe and calm. That is to aid in the life of the organism. Stress is good for organisms in an acute danger scenario. The lingering effects can be highly destructive. So being happy, the healing power of laughter, such reactions produce healing, stabilizing effects to the organism. When one does not have a logical mind, these things become ones only guide. It is one thing when it is some other organism. When it is the way of people it always leads to problems and danger. Look at the world in the context of all that I have just written. You can see it play out everywhere. It is every single day and relates to every single issue in the world. A total illusion full of waste and suffering, in the end all for nothing. because you think that everything about you is the most important thing. That everything that you think is the most important thing. The everything you feel is the most important thing. I have met so many people who believe they are above and apart from it. They lie to themselves about all the decisions they make and how emotions rule them. People for emotional pain has become all of or a significant part of their personality. They express these sorts of silver lining forms of rhetoric to gloss over all the things that they don't want to face. That they wish to ignore and pretend aren't there despite how demonstrative it is in ever little thing about them. That is why my secret wish is to tear people apart. To rip all their illusions away. cut away all the protective fantasies to expose the raw and pure. To let them be seared in the truth and wake up something new and better. The only problem is, so few people have something new and better to grow into. The vast majority of people cannot be any different. At best they can only acquire new illusions. I keep coming back to hercules or herakles. In the end after all the struggles of his life, his mortal have was consumed in what was his funeral pyre. His immortal half moved on to become a god on olympus.
