Well, had a Movie marathon with Althea, Alicea and May... ... it was nothing short of fun.
I dare say " The Emperor's Club" has been the best movie I have watched so far ( 20+ times). I find the movie really inspirational.... ... It never fails to leave me with a sense of awe and revelation... the way it never fails to touch me. I usually watch movies only for entertainment purposes... but this one, this one is something more, and I find that each time I watch it, it teaches me something new. " Everyone, at some point in ther life, will be forced to look at the mirror, and see who they really are..." This is particular phrase has stuck with me, compelling me to constantly revisit my virtues, and what I really want out of my life.
And it is perhaps these things that give me purpose. As the Merovingian ( Matrix Reloaded ) has put it :" Purpose is what differentiates you from me, him from her. Without purpose, you are powerless..."
Other things that I have becomed rather caught up with are " Libera ( Locus Iste, Sanctus)" and " Era ( Hymme )." These two songs are nothing short of heavenly. I just love the way the voices intermingle and blend. When the last note sounds, I am left overwhelmed and inspired. There's nothing like music to soothe the senses and revive the soul after a harsh and hectic day. Somehow, it arouses something deep within me, as though my soul is attached to each quaver and crotchet, minim and breve, rising when they do, and falling as they do. Ah, music is truly a wonderful and beautiful thing.
Words fail me.
I can never stop learning, it's the world that intrigues me.
" Shutruk Neh-hunte! King! Sovereign of the land of Elam, destroyer of Sippar...behold..his accomplishments can not be found in any history book... why?"
" Because great accomplishment and conquest... ... without contribution
is without significance...
Plato, Ciecero, Augustus, Ceasar, Socrates....giants of history, men of profound character, their accomplishments have surpassed their own lifetimes, and lived on, even into our own.
Their story, is our story... .."
" What will your contribution be?
How, will history remember you?..."
