Saving Our Own Private Ryans
Ivan 'Vern' Poh from URL @ 1:08 AM
today had been a day with a bittersweet aftertaste. but you know, you kinda determine more bitter or sweet. really.
last night before i went to bed i watched 'Saving Private Ryan' it was all good man just that i was falling asleep very quickly. i didn't finish it, nor will i finish it in australia... i think i'll just read and i'd lent it to someone
it was beautiful just watching troops fighting for a cause. i like that :) run with all their might fight with all they've got
well it was a joke... 3 companies miscommunicated and ended up at the same place there was no direction... just a on rushing death tally. people were dying just like that, no one knew how to fight well because they miscommunicated...
somehow when i taught they were doomed... some guy took the lead man turned it around... won a strategic battle and held down that strategic base. AWESOME.
i think people can turn things around... with 2 qualities 1) if they want to 2) if they really want to
i don't think it's enough if you want to. really. it takes a lot more out of a person.
i think we all just have to live life to the fullest.... see, even if you doubt me. listen.. if this God thing is a scam, in the end, you still become a better player in the game of life going through this supposedly scam lifestyle... so, you win and you only will win. just got to want it and really want it.
so why not you take take up responsibility and put some things into place? yeah i think you should :)
i guess those troops trapped didn't have a choice did they? and come to think about it we have all the liberty to choose...
saving private ryan was good... but they'd been forced, there was no way out and they overcame. well good. what if there had been many retreat routes present? only SOME will stay behind and make a difference.
so i quite believe in this... not forcing people but giving them the direct opposite. give them every chance and route of escape and retreat...
because when it's over and when it's over... those we're with, are those who made a decision to pay the price of responsibility.
everyday will end with that same bittersweet aftertaste. you lament of some things you hope to have done better you smile about some things you just could not have done better. but even you know it was past tense.
run the full mileage run this race in such a way you will win it my life my responsibility
off the subject today i thought i started the day sweeter and ended it sweeter 2 good friends made it sweet 1 dropped me an sms the night before another knew me too well, what i was thinking and feeling it was quite funny...
but then again, goodnight and goodbye Australia Here I Come Tuesday Tuesday 9am :)
