Does boredom lead to trouble?

I know for a fact that when I get bored or have nothing to do, it really does often lead to trouble of all sorts. You can't be a kid without getting in trouble, because kids are always inquisitive wanting to know more about what it does and how it works, they are always poking their fingers in things. Thats why today's kids need to be T.V. zombies. that way no trouble could happen, however as kids grow up they get into deeper waters, and they always want to explore more. The more they explore the more dangerous it gets for them, but if parents don't let them explore life themselves, it could be dangerous for the kids. The older they get the more deeper the water becomes, and if they don't have a look under the water to see what's there, they can get injured, eaten, dragged under the water to a point of no return. If these kids take the dive to explore their futures by themselves, they know what they getting into. If parents learn to let their children learn for themselves, boredom wouldn't exist, kids would be looking around learning new things about life and being in a controlled situation, where they can explore. If they do start to drown or suffocate, parents and teachers are able to pull them out of the water. Yes, I would say boredom certainly does lead to trouble. So to keep people from being bored, don't keep them tied up, because if you do, it is going to be a ticking time bomb at a point where the person just wants to break through, and experience all these things at once, and end up getting in deeper waters than they can handle.

Film review "Look both ways"


The film "Look both ways" is an Australian movie about peoples lives that entwine around death and dealing with death. The principal cast and characters, William McInnes (Nick) and Justine Clarke (Meryl) lives fuse after Robs death on the train tracks, even before that, these characters were dealing with the witnessing of Robs death, Meryl was dealing with her fathers death, and Nick was dealing with the fact that he has cancer and there is a chance that he could die. Sarah Watts carefully weaves their lives together in which they find themselves in life changing moments in their lives.

The movie constantly revolves about death even when new life is one of the topics in the film. Nick's workmate Anthony Hayes (Andy) has two children from the previous marriage, and has a problem with an unplanned pregnancy with his girlfriend. Andy's life is all about his reporting, but his reporting isn't very good in the film. The unplanned pregnancy was a new life that was to come into this world but, it could interfere with their lives that they were living, so abortion was one of the options that Lisa Flanagan (Anna) put forward. Death also surrounds new life in the movie until the rain comes pouring down as a symbol of cleansing. This is a very notable symbol in the movie because thats when all the characters in the movie have a fresh start to a new life without any attachment to the past e.g. Andreas Sobik (the train driver) "I'm the train driver, I'm sorry" Daniella Jarinacci (Julia) "it wasn't your fault" and with that, the rain pours down in the background, and the train diver can now put this behind him, similarly, Julia can get on with her life.

The lives of Nick and Meryl in the movie, having met after the accident by chance, and the conversation they have surrounded death, hers was about the picture he took that day, and his was about the picture of the sea she painted and the person in the picture drowning, and the sharks are about to eat him. Both these characters continuously have visions or images of death flashing through their head, even in the most intimate part of the movie, they think about death and a key factor it played in their lives. This key factor drew them together because they both have to deal with the same problem, death.

Describe the fears that bombard you and indicate whether they are real or exaggerated.

fear is a part of everyday life. We cant live with it we cant live without it, we all live in constant fear if we are going to get caught or fear if we don't do anything in life, that we are not living life in all its splendor, we all experience fear from the poor to the rich, fear of death, fear of losing everything. Just imagine a world with no fear, where we can all live in a peaceful society, without fear that can bombard you to make decisions that you don't want to make, a choice in life that is not yours to make but rather someone else makes it for you, when are are growing up people make choices for you from what you wear to what you eat, to who you talk to and when you go to the toilet. In what part of life, do we make choices for ourselves without having fear of the consequences that will come with our decisions is it real of not. That we will only see in the future, there is no such thing as exaggerated fear just constant anxiety that something might happen to intrude in your perfect world that you have created for yourself. Yes fear is a part of everyday human life, but its a part that we can live without. Living life without fear of the consequences that come with it. We living in a society that constantly judges us when the don't even know who we are, or where we come from, or why we do things in life. They look at their perfect world and expect us to be a part of it, but each of us have our own view of a perfect world, but fear of showing it someone to only get criticized about it, because our perfect world doesn't level up to the expectation of their world. Fear shouldn't be a part of of life, because we if make our choices based on fear, we are not living our life, we are living someone else's shadow of life and the only thing making us do his is constant fear of what someone else will think of us, is i real fear of exaggerated fear, fear is fear, we all live with it without even knowing. Its like living on top of a volcano, you don't know when it is going to erupt and destroy your whole life but it does give signs of danger, time and time again, it our choice to ignore the fear and live our life no matter what, but if we live ignoring it, we can live in our own world, without fear of it erupting below us, it only when you give into fear that your living someone else's shadow of life not what life you want to live. "to conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom" - Betrand Russell
I always seen life as a wedge in the road, their two paths u can take on it, one path takes you somewhere and the other somewhere else, it doesn't matter what path you take as long as your not forced into a path that you don't want to take by the people behind you. Take a path in which fear is not a part of so there are no rocks on your roads, no pothole, or road blocks, so its your path in life that no one can influence you to make decisions whether to go around the road block or ride over the rock. If you take a path with rocks and roadblocks in it, its not your path but its a path that someone else already took and with that path they achieve what they wanted but for you to achieve the same thing you have got to ride through road blocks, potholes and rock, of what problems they left behind on their path to their life.
Live a life without fear and its your life to live.

Love

what does that word even mean anymore... does it have meaning to it or has it lost all value. this word causes more pain than happiness, more misery than joy. people from all around the world use it, there is a word for it in every language, but yet we fail to master the arts of love, love is it a phycial action shown to each other or is it a word used by insure people. love is special, cause it can cause allot of damage to a person put in the wrong hands but if place in the right hands it can make a person feel like on top of the world. everyone wants someone to love them, they say that everyone on earth are made in pairs, no one is will ever alone. love what is it? to make love is just magical but to have it with retained with u between two people is just a feeling that can be with u for a life time. is it worth waiting for love or love waiting to have you, can people trust each other? humans are filled with lies and hate for each other, even between the people we love. is it right if u love some one be honest with them no matter what. what if i told her i loved her, would it be right, would she feel the same way, or just shut me out again, questions are just obstacles you don't need to jump over, just through. We were give, Two hands to hold, Two legs to walk, Two eyes to see, Two ears to listen, But why only one heart? Because the other was given to someone else. For us to find. i found a heart, but will that heart expect me for who i am? or accept me for what that heart thinks i am?
i want her heart so i can treasure protect it from getting hurt, but will she do the same for mine?
LOVE, We think about it, Sing about it, Dream about it and Loose sleep worrying about it. When we don't know we have it, we search for it. When we discover it, we don't know what to do with it. When we have it, we fear loosing it. It is the constant source of pleasure and pain. But we don't know which it will be from one moment to the next. It is a short word, easy to spell, difficult to define and IMPOSSIBLE to live without.

Decisions...

Every day of every minute, we all are faced with decisions in our lives, it can range from insignificant decisions like what colour top to wear to what we do with our lives. With those decisions comes its pros and cons but..... some of the decision we chose to make are sometimes faced with a reality of this world. my decisions in my life are always pro-longed cause each decision has its outcomes and each outcome its consequence. why do we strive to do better in life? why is it we try so hard to get what we want? but yet we try so hard but we always one step behind our accomplishments.... because its a decision we make. This world is a cut throat world if your not one step ahead of everyone your neck is on the line, this has to go with everything, from relationships to your job, if your not one step ahead of the guy next to u, hes going to stab u! sometimes we make decisions in our lives that effect the people around us.. should we really care for the people around us or face reality in life and only make decisions that are good for us, and what happens on the other side of the fence is their problem. one of the most significant decisions in life are made with our partner or the person we choose to be with... why do they choose to be with u... what reason do they have to love u..spend time with u, care for u or even look at u. Some people, love the attention they get when they are with someone, they get their thrill at another persons expense and leave them with the job of picking up the pieces, or we actually find someone that cares for us but we just don't feel the same anymore, why is that, why do we take other peoples feelings for granted, is it because, we know as humans we can always achieve better, or is it cause we just cant be happy with what we have. there is a saying "misery loves company" is that true or is it just normal human dependency that we always need someone to help us or be with us in our time of need, someone that we can reach out to that is our same level or situation as us, humans are social animals, we live in large societies that comprise of larger groups or ethic back ground, we are bound to where we are from and what runs through our vains, certain decisions are made for us through fate.... some people say our future is already written in the stars.... other make their own.. what would u do leave it up to fate or make your own path in life by being head strong. why? do we do things? humans are creatures like no other uniques in every kind, cause only we can betray our brothers and sisters, we are the one with freedom to choose and decide on our path.
