| Today wasn't a good day, and when I think about it I have completely screwed myself over and will possibly get a terrible grade in like 4 classes, but I am at peace right now and I don't know why exactly. I think that this quote from American Beauty is great and pretty much sums up how I am feeling, i know he is reflecting on death, but it has a lot of weight in life as well, I think if people can see the beauty in life while they can still take advantage of it then they are really lucky. I want to be one of the lucky ones. "...it's hard to be angry when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes, I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and I can't take it. My heart swells up like a balloon that's about to burst. But then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold onto it. And then, it flows through me like rain and I feel nothing but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life. You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry. You will someday." |

TaoMan1121 | 03-29-04 2:43pm That is THE best quote that's ever crossed my path... I'd get it tattooed on myself if it wasn't so damn long. :-) Anyway, I agree, he does say in after his death, but what he is actually addressing is life, and how to truly live it. I love the end of it, telling us all that someday we will experience that feeling, it's just up to us to decide when that is. |
