2 thoughts for the day..... 1. Just finished watching The Way Way Back and really enjoyed it. Nice to see a movie that is just a simple story driven by characters and good writing. 2. Ive seen some of the crazy videos from Black Friday shopping. I went out for a couple of hours and it was really calm, so its weird to see how wild people can get. I took a few moments to reflect on why people get so crazy. What causes a person to lose perspective and start shoving others out of their way just to save $50 on a TV? I once heard a wise person tell me that one of the ways we build our egos is through the acquisition of stuff. The stuff becomes entangled with our sense of self-worth. The more we acquire, the more our egos are satiated. So I suppose some of these people are so desperate to build this artificial sense of self-worth that they lose touch with their higher selves. So the root of what we are seeing is, I believe, a deep longing within these people to feel valued, important, and ultimately....loved. They are just after love, and the passion with which they chase it, however foolish it looks to us, just shows us HOW desperate they are to find it. Or theyre just greedy jerks? :)
