The Place Ill Return....

I watched a movie on DVD today, with my bro.. The show's called Pay it Forward and it was shown several years back.

Kevin Spacey, Haley Joel Osment and Helen Hunt made up the main cast.
Now what inspired me to post was what the show made me re-realise.
Osment is this kid, Kevin Spacey is his teacher, Helen Hunt's the mom. The teacher gives him a project on making an effort to change this world and taking action.
So the kid comes up with this idea over time, Paying it forward. He helps 3 pple and this so called "help" has to be something big , not just ur daily good deed as we so call it..maybe just smth bigger than that.. and using some basic maths, this works by multiplication, he helps 3,3 helps 3 making it 9 ..and so on..
He made lots of efforts and it seemed like his plans failed, but it eventually worked in the end (theres too much to explain)..
At the end, in an attempt to help his friend from bullies, he got stabbed and died.. and the whole town comes with little torches to pay their respects and they cry and stuff..

though you've been spoiled, it's still a good show to watch..after all it inspired me to blog.

Now perhaps we might ask ourselves, how many lives have we changed
... how much effort have we made to think about others instead of ourselves..
If everyone would just have this basic sense of empathy, or perhaps compassion, this little common sense somewhere in their heads, maybe this world would be a better place.

Remembering what life is.....
