well, yes, this note it going to be in English. Why ? Because I just hate, just hate when somebody judges my by my command of the Slovak Language. I know some people , .. you can write whole beautiful essay , but if you misplace the „i“ and „y“ or „u“ and „v“ will immediately look down on you , and say „what the jerk, he doesn't even know his own language.. what could he possibly tell us“
And not only that. these people will actually point out your grammar mistakes. Just read any discussion on www.sme.sk. There will always be some envious piece of dick that will correct the mistakes of people writing from US or Canada , but the level of his writing (though grammatically correct)will never stand a comparison to their writing
But why, why do I need grammatically flawless Slovak language for ? To write a postcard to my mom ? I hope so. I sincerely hope so.
Anyway, that is just an introduction. I once again sow some movie. It was Devil's Advocate. But I don't want to talk about this movie specifically. I want to talk about the movies that makes us stop. What it is about those movies ? You watch them , and at the end you are moved , your whole personality seems to be directed anew. You suddenly realize that you wasting your time. Wasting your life. That you should immediately do something with your life. To make it more meaningful. To be thankful for little things. To be thankful for your health , your freedom.
Why does the humans forget this in a course of everyday life ? Why do we are so forgetful and need to be reminded by Hollywood movies ?
Just the yesterday I was walking on the street here in Karlsruhe , and realized that I am a very lucky man. I imagined , how would I feel if I was in prison right now , and looking at the beautiful country and streets from behind the prison bars. Freedom would mean for me simply put : everything. Or if I had some terminal illness, being healthy would have been the most priority value in my life. Or if I hadn't such a wonderful person , as my wife , by my side, or if I loose her.. lack of that intimacy would create dark deep and unimaginable void.
So, I guess, at the end of the day it is good, that we have Showshank Redemption, Color Purple, Citisen Kane, Dead Poets Society , Amorres Peross , or even Devil's advocate to make us stop and think about the „big picture“. That from our daily stress filled lives seemingly unhappy gloomy moody blue rainy clouds emerges sudden and unexpected silver lining. A reason to smile at your dearest person and maybe to give her even a big hug : )
