Movie of my life

Sometimes I feel that in the movie of my life I will not play the central character. As in there will be no central character. Like a lot of constant people and the stories of their lives woven through my life. Whoever walks in is there to stay. For life. Mostly.

But then in a no. of movies I would play a key role.
And in almost no movie would I play an extra.

Is it ok that this to me is consoliation enough?

You know, this would make a good questionare: if you were in a movie, what role would you have? Who would play you? We should make up a survey and send it to all our buddies.

I'm going to link your blog to mine. Thanks for your nice comments.

Very interesting thought...I wonder what I would play, maybe an extra because then for a change I wouldn't have to be responsible for a while...just a fill in.

Dear Lemontree

You will know who I am once you read a bit further. You know me and my anonimity issues, especially on the net.

Read your blog entries, a couple of them, for the first time properly, while getting bored in this desert-ed land.

As for the movie bit, wondering who will get the central role? Yes, you will be a very main character in a lot of movies, considering your "extensive classifications and groupings/ rings." With you as the ringh leader. Pray, need I say more? (laughs)

Read the bit on Diwali and couldn't agree more. As for father not letting you go out, stemming from a concern issue, more of a control issue. There really is no safe day in the year to be out. You know what I mean.

As for the killings, depressive alright, but too destiny-based. All karmically linked. We are not even capable of undertsanding the bigger game that He has laid out for each one of us and collectively for humanity.

Getting back with a dear friend, after a most upsetting fight, not talking for nearly two years......how do you classify that? Best being that neither side is into finding faults and pointing fingers, but just taking it as a growing-up thing. One thing this trip has made me realise is that it is best to move on in life and not really being anal about sticking to principles. Makes life a lot more fun. You can keep on secluding yourself on principles. I realise that in the longer run of life, personally you will enjoy more when you say that I had these people to enjoy with for a substantial part in my life, rather than being this idealistic person who says "I enjoyed a lot with these people, but did not give anyone a second chance." Who are you, God almighty? Thinking of talking to the second person as well. Need to do more thinking before taking teh final step as I dont wish to repent it later on. That person too approached (remember the sms) and I just rejected it.

There are shades of grey everywhere. Life is not black and white. I always thought life should be black and white, but have realised it is not and is a lot more fun for me in greys. Gives your pallette more colors (metamorphically speaking).

On the side, liked your "metamorphical insistance" so you can avoid "cold-in-the-head" comments. (more laughs).

With the length of this comment, I am more blogging than commenting.

Keep blogging as you do a consistently good job.

Yours.

Dear anonymous (a),

*Blush* Thanks for the compliment. Coming from a former critic it means a lot.

Given your anonymity issues thought would use one of the various endearments i use for you and then realised that firstly they would give your identity away and secondly none of them are really flattering.(laughs)

So (a) should do fine.

On the black, white and shades of gray, I do believe that there is only black and white, though we may choose the black from time to time if it so suits us which is fine.

I agree with you about giving people a second chance- actually i don't think we really have much choice in the matter- the energies around us decide and we think of it as our decision- how much control do we really have in most things which help us make the decision- as in did you think you would be in the same place as this other person for such a stretch of time- isn't that something which destiny threw your way- and i know i don't need to argue the point as you are a bigger beliver of this than even me- ok let me acknowledge this in black and white- these are really your thoughts that have been handed down :)

about your comment being a blog in itself- urge you again to begin writing - you would enjoy it and i am a big fan of your writing in any case

so do you want to be a guest/ ghost writer on my blog?

u know this a privelege i would bestow on very few even from the inner circle.

love
lemontree
