A random thought

You ever notice how all movies, books, or any type of work of fiction, must always have some sort of conflict; something that needs to be resolved? You ever wonder why that is? It's because without it the story would just be a description of people sitting around doing nothing. There must be a point to the story to keep our interest. Just like life. People always complain about the hurdles they face in life. Ya, things can suck, and life is a bitch, but if you had no challenges in your life, your life would be a boring story that no one would care to hear. Just as a movie has no "point" without a conflict to resolve, life would have no point if it were also without conflict. The struggle to overcome our problems makes us who we are. Anyone can be nice when things are easy for them. It's in the heat of battle that our true selves shine through. Are you the valiant hero who will save others while the building burns down around you, or are you the coward who runs without even trying to help others because you're busy saving your own ass. Struggles show what we really are, and make us become more than we were, if we have the resolve to fight them.

I think that maybe... just maybe... that's why we're here. To make something of ourselves for whatever comes after. Plus, just think of God as the ultimate movie goer. If you just want the world handed to you, and think everything should revolve around you, and hate any form of challenge or struggle in your life, then maybe God thinks your life isn't worth watching either. Just another crappy movie, with no "point".
