lets see... last week was dull, everyone was just getting done with the holiday cheer and instead of being rejuvenated they all had looks that could kill. Today I am all ready for the week, completely recharged and recouped from last week and the week before last and last year..woooosh. This energy level is probably going to last for just 1 day.
yesterday I happened to watch a Nicholas Cage, Bridget Fonda movie "It could happen to you".
now from what I saw yesterday i realized that probably i had become a cynic. The movie ran on the theme "Miracles can happen" . The story was about a new york cop who wins 4 million dollars in lottery and because he promised to tip a waitress half of it, if he won shares the money with her. Now obviously this didnt go well with the wife.. not because she suspected something,..but becasue she wanted all the money to herself.. I am not going to write the entire story here you can read it or watch the movie, but you get the idea. Well I was watching the movie with some friends and their reactions surprised me. They empathized with the lead characters and were ready to be dissapointed if the movie didnt have a happy ending, wheras I particularly didnt care much about it.
i think this attitued has come after being in the US for nearly 4 years. i used to have a very optimist outlook. I was sunny and bright and looked at life from rose tinted glasses.. where everything was happy. Now the rose tinted glasses dont have much appeal for me. I wonder if it happens as you grow up that your cynicsm levels increase or do personal experiences do it ?
I am also waiting for a miracle to happen!!!
Adios
