Yes to a wild life, no to a dull life.

I just watched 2 very extremely conflicting shows, 1 being Revoluntionary Road the oscar winning show, and another Jim Carrey show Yes Man. The former was rather deep and creepy, and it gives you that feel of asking yourself what would you do in that situation type of mechanism running thru your mind when your watching the show. The main theme of the story is how life is so boring and mundane, but we as drones of society are helpless to follow and conform. If we do not, we are alienated and frowned upon, called crazy , weird , siao or even worst. Why has the world come to such a state. For example, the analogy that the man has to earn more than women and that woman should do chores and take care of the kids. Or even that we must do something that can earn more money rather than do something we like. I can safely assume 90% of us are doing jobs we particulary do not like, and I can safely assume we will not change cause of fear. Fear of becoming different, fear of not earning enough. Not enough to survive, but not enough to outshine our friends and superiors with material goods, not enough to walk around town and feel good that people are looking at your precious buys of the day, not enough to look like the various models and celebrities on the mass media, not enough to be worthy of your partners, friends and parents, not enough to support a family, not enough to get married. All these at the price of sacrificing that dream job you have always wanted to do, but avoided just because of all these reasons. We all cant run away from this, how I wish I can. Well I can and I wish to, but people close to me would surely criticize me of taking a degree for nothing, or not making enough money even though I could. Its a times like this when I wonder, being more dumb has its advantages too. We all thrive to go into medicine, accountancy, business, law and science. Do we like it? Or are we doing it for the prestige? Or are we conformed by society so that if we get these particularly high grades we have to follow these rotues. Well so be it then, being relistic at the expense of being happy and pleasing everyone else, or being unrealistic and pleasing yourself and not pleasing everyone else.


Oopz kinda engrossed talking about the former haha and for the lighter side....The latter, was a carefree movie about well saying YES to everything. It at 1st seemed like some preaching movie about saying YES. Well it is a very funny show, Jim Carrey speaking korean sam ha mi da is freaking good and funny. Its a good show to perk up your mood after revolutionary road. Both are like black and white, yin and yang, you can see it for yourself after watching both, that life needs a good mixture of both realistic and wildness.

All in all we all have to realistic to a certain extent, but I feel that it is essential to do some crazy out of the box stuff once inawhile. It will makes us more happy, than being mindless drones conformed to society.
