It's a wonderful life

in #entertainment6 years ago

Life is not always easy, in fact often it's downright hard. Life is also unfair for many people. We as human beings are capable of great things like love compassion kindness and empathy for others. On the other hand we as human beings are also capable of the opposite to those things like cruelty unkindness greed etc.
I recently read a post about a film called "3 DAYS" by @julieo and although i haven't viewed the film yet, ( I will soon)
It reminded me of a film iv'e seen a few times in the past called "A Wonderful Life" an old black and white film made in 1946 with James Stewart playing the role of George Baily. This film in my opinion is a tour de force in showing the above stated qualities and negatives that we have as humans. I first saw this film when i was about 11 years old. Back then as a family we would all huddle up together in front of that old black and white tv on a Sunday afternoon and watch the Sunday Matinee. In those days back in the 1960s it was usually an old black and white film and mostly american. Since that time i've watched "A Wonderful Life" quite a few times. The film focuses on George Baily a decent kind man, faced with problems not of his doing George, knowing that in money terms he is worth more dead than alive, contemplates suicide, however he is distracted at the time he is about to throw himself of a bridge into a river by an Angel, Clarence. George tells Clarence that he wished he had never been born. Clarence grants him that wish. George sees how it would have been if he had never been born. I'ts a touching story and a great Christmassy happy ending. Watching this old classic can be uplifting and restore belief in the nicer sides to our human nature. For those that are interested here's just a short clip of the film.

Life is beautiful or not, depends on how you choose to perceive it. I have realised that we have been blessed with this amazing creation and we must embrace with a beautiful heart. Life is amazing in all the small things. The morning sunrise , a good jog, a wide smile in the beginning of the day, a wonderful family and amazing friends. Many people have all this in their life but we fail to acknowledge it. Life is all about love, laughter, sharing, spreading a smile and most important living. I am fortunate enough to have realised all this at a young age and believe me my life has changed for the good. Life is just so uncertain and that’s perhaps the best part. We may go on planing for years to come and one day all of that becomes futile. So my friend life for me is “CarpeDiem” , embracing the uncertainties and just living with a smile. Trust me it will make a big difference. Your heart will answer you when the joy becomes unparalleled.

Keep loving, keep smiling, keep living.

Love and happiness always. :)

Thankyou.

Beautiful. I couldn't have said it better.

Es cierto amiga la vida es complicada tiene muchos antibajos a veces es muy difícil y mi injusta pero tenemos que seguir luchando para salir hacia adelante. Es como aquí en Venezuela para nosotros la vida es muy dura tenemos que tanto para estirar lo poco que tenemos para poder comer y si habla algo y te descubren muchas veces comienzan las persecuciones.
