Was kinda set thinking by today's screening of 'Pleasantville'
The film is about a brother and a sister, getting sucked into a black and white world, where everything is perfect. And how they, with their imperfections bring colour to the world.
so it kinda got me thinking.
That we all kinda do live in our own black and white world, in our own safe bubble of what we think is acceptable and what we believe to be right.
But are we overlooking the outside world, missing the color we don't see ?
At times, we're so narrow minded, we ignore what other people are going through and forget to put ourselves in their shoes. so well, add color to your mind.
Yet another point, about change.
We so often fight change, like in the film, how the B&W people outcasted the colored people.
We often feel too comfortable at where we are to move out of our comfort zones into something new, okay. not often,
always. But if we keep on living in our perfect little world, not wanting to budge, how are we supposed to grow into better people ?
It's never easy though, but hey, change makes life interesting doesn't it ? otherwise everything would be in black and white.
Our imperfections are in a way, our perfect parts.
nobody's perfect, so in a way, our imperfections define us and make us who we are.
Never despise someone for their imperfections, because you've always take a look at yourself first.
we are, our own colors, our own persons.
The salt and light of the world.
