WALL·E

So I've been watching WALL·E again since i'm uber bored and can't find constructive things to do -_-

Anyways, theres this quote which is quite intriguing in the movie...

"Survive? I don't want to survive, i want to live!"

Now this is interesting because being alive itself is a form of survival. The point of surviving is to not die and living is a proof that you're not dying. Then how shall you live? To live is to have a goal during your survival in life. The experiences you gain during your survival is the elements that make up the aspects of living. This goal could have a range of levels of course. But this goal that you make can affect how you value life itself.

The value of life is precious to some but insignificant to others. Sometimes when you're watching a movie and a whole mall blows up and then the main character somehow miraculously gets out of it alive, do you ever wonder what about all the other non relevant civilians that somehow just caught up in this? From the viewer's/director's/main character's point of view, these civilians are insignificant, they are just bodies to prove how important the main character is. No one ever really thinks about it do they? Imagine how are those bodies' family are gonna react when they found out they died.

Then it all comes down to perspective again. Because we survive in different ways, taking different paths in our own timestream, we experience different... ...experiences in life. We get to know different people, we get to feel differently, we get to see differently, and when we combine all these aspects together we get different mindsets which create different perspectives.

Individuality.

We all have different perspectives and it is created through the experience we gain in life, and this experience creates the goal that we seek to reach in life. This is a chain of events that could not be changed or adjusted. A little something disturbing called fate

    it's true; thats why we're the most important thing in our lives because we can only see from our point of view but i guess it's good that there are people who are empathetic & compassionate.
