Was watching a movie called, “Traffic Signal”, its funny in some respects , but not really in some. It is the truth, that people like us who are in comfortable positions try to avoid in everyday life. In the movie they show different people struggling in their own way, but thinking of how it would be if you were in that situation is hard. We are in such denial of reality. The only thing I can learn from it is to live life fully, try to do the right thing.  In the movie almost everyone is doing something illegal! The other movie was “SlumDog Millionaire”. It is the reality so many people live through, it is mind boggling.
People like us living through conveniences throughout life, complain about little things that don’t work, little things that don’t matter in the whole picture at all. There are times a teeny problem seems like its taking over life or like there is no life beyond that, but if you step out of that shell and take a look at yourself you see what exactly it is, and that it is nothing compared to harder things in life. If we only could admit mistakes, laugh at our own mistakes, what a different life it would be. Sometimes we try to look for happiness outside of our home, but looking within promises galore reside.
My best advice [for those who can take it!] would be to live life through the eyes of a child. If you have a child at home, do what they want. I have on many occasions, seen and done things through the eyes of my daughter and it is a refreshing look on life. They do things regardless of all the worries that we have in our head, it is the right outlook, that we fail to have as we grow up and clog our brains with. We live in a cushioned life, any bump seems like a huge one. Take life seriously, but happily, make your  family happy, live life one step at a time and enjoyyyyyyyyyyy.

Movies sometimes make sense!
