Very well done. You will enjoy it. It is about a man's struggle with himself, his connections with others especially with his father, and with his spirituality.

Hey Ziu, thanks for keeping me in mind, you are a good friend.

I will watch it, a Fortunate Man, any movie's documentary on Net Flix I can watch, so keep em coming.

I just watched a good alien movie called "Life" I enjoyed it because it made me think.

We never know what's on the horizon... God knows?

I 'll ck out Life. It has been a while since I watched any alien movie. Thanks.

What does it take
For a man to grow up
Into a person with certainty
To be a person with validity
To get rid of his cocoon
Freeing himself
To fully exercise his thoughts
Into his actions
To express who he really is
Without any doubt
Without any fear
Without judgement
Truly understand
He is one of many wheels
Churning to complete
Our continuation
His thoughts and actions
As important to others
Not just his own
What he choose or not choose
Matter not now
But the undefined future
For all involved
All, as in entirety
Growing a man
Truly a difficult task indeed.

Growing an alien is far more difficult.

I watched A Fortunate Man, I enjoyed the movie, all 2 1/2 hours of it. Reminded me of my life a bit, these days I'm OK with Christianity, just remember that Gods Justice is grounded in love, non-lovers need not apply because you will not even find the door.

The Jewish Lady, his first fiance had it right, she did good and she truly loved him!

He was a very troubled individual, stability was not his strength, life is hard for some people.


Love, kindness, and all the other finer qualities of the heart.

Need I say more.

well it is hard to be certain
of who the self is
when all you hear all day long
is more news
about who the self should be

and when every thing you build up
immediately gets torn down
you don't have much incentive
to be building things
after all

besides
in this crazy
mixed up
world
the things seemingly most prized
have little real value
except
in the forlorn eyes of the others

so what the self might be
wouldn't necessarily
even be accepted
as a valid thing
for a self to be

I am glad that you saw it.

The Jewish lady embodied the qualities, free thinking ways, and characteristics that the main character wanted to have but lacked.
He couldn't achieve what she already had due to his constant struggles with his religious backgrounds and his upbringing.

She knew the value of engineering/scientific pursuits when he was struggling to see it due to his upbringing in strict christian values.
She understood that science will unite humanity, in contrast to religions that have always divided humanity.
She admired his trials of rising above both from his low social economic class and the darksides of christian teachings. - Of course he failed in his trials and went back into his comfortable cocoon.
However, his trials and failures are what motivated her to make the social changes through her new school.
She saw what he couldn't see in himself.
I love what she said at the end.
"I would not change anything in my life"
He had to fail on himself- so she finds her life mission to make a bigger impact on humanity.
Hence, what she was achieving was actually by both of them.
Yes, she loved him deeply.
But due to his lack of self love, he couldn't understand it until the end.
