Watched Men In Black today with the fam bam. It was a good escape from all the academic stuff and it was also a good way to rest the mind. I loved how it had a real story unlike other action movies which stories don't even make sense.. I loved the ending, a first in a long time..
There was this one particular line that struck me the most.. "Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answers to.." I was always the kind of person who always wanted to know.. As much as possible, I always make it a point that I understand where the other person is coming from by asking a lot of questions. Most of the time, the questions just disappoint me or hurt me but nevertheless, I still see it as a sort of freedom.. A Freedom from the anxiety I once carried.. Freedom from the nights I tossed and turned in bed as I thought of all those questions and what the probable answers were.. And what I keep in mind is that even thought it hurts now, it'll hurt less in the future.. Because it saves me from the prolonged agony of waiting and guessing.. It saves me from a deeper hurt in the future..
But today maybe I'll try changing it up a little.. Maybe I'll try to stop asking too much questions and just wait until the person or the answer would purposely come to me.. Maybe I'll try to be content with what I know now and just be thankful that that's that. Maybe like K said in Men in black, that would lead me to living a happy life..
Knowing the answers isn't always what's helpful.. Sometimes, somethings are better left unsaid.. and maybe sometimes, ignorance is indeed bliss..
Though I still have so much to ask you, I'll leave it at that. Have a happy life!
