Thoughts for the Day

You think you know people inside out. And then they sing a song, dance a jig, or write a poem, and you think: There's so much I still don't know.

I was watching this movie called "Wishful Thinking" the other day, where the girl said:
You think that when you strip away the insecurities and weaknesses of people, you will find goodness. For all people are good at the bottom of it all.

But by the time the end of the movie arrived, she has changed her ideas:
I used to think that when you strip away all the insecurities and weaknesses from people, you will find goodness at the bottom of it all. But once you strip away one layer of insecurities or goodness, you will only find more layers and still more layers; for when talking about people, there can be no bottom.

Watched "The Lady and the Tramp" this morning. A must watch if you are a dog lover. Plus, the characters are realistic, well-etched, and lovable -- every last one of them. And it's deep as well.

Layers are required, in one's life, to limit the expression in different circumstances.
