I just saw 'Shame' directed by the fabulous David Cronenberg. It was about the life of Carl Jung intertwined greatly with Sigmund Freud. Sabina Spielrein, played by the very talented Keira Knightley, was also a main character in the film.
It was very interesting to watch. I'd give it a 7/10. Michael Fassbender, Viggo Mortensen, and Keira Knightley worked well enough together and were entertaining to watch. I'd probably like it more if I was in a better mood, and wasn't so distracted.
Anyway, the point of this entry is not a criticism of the film. Movies like these are very interesting to me. Well, topics of humanity in general are.
My mind is reeling ruthlessly with thoughts, so this whole entry might not make complete sense. I might just end up spitting thoughts here and there.
I'm not quite sure how I can manage to love my neighbors and despise our humanity all at the same time. Every day that I wake up, I feel grateful for the air that I breathe. Every time I see people that I love, I rejoice in their company. And the little things of life like beautiful sunsets that flood our skies a deep orange, or the billions of stars that glitter across the dark canvas of night, or even cicatrisation wherein when we wound ourselves, our bodies adapt and heal -- all of these things amaze me to no end.
And yet human beings disgust me.
What are we but endless shells of desire. We walk around this earth with a parched tongue, carnal desires that crawl at our skins and tug at our thoughts and the strings of our hearts. We crave for each other -- whispered words of kindness, coupled with genuine smiles, or hot fingers that caress naked skins.
And yet we are ungrateful and selfish. We collect material wealth to make up for the endless need to be satisfied.
What is satisfaction anyway?
Many things.
I'm too damn tired to keep writing.
