I saw Where The Wild Things Are a few days ago, and it made me think about a bunch of stuff. Like, how barricaded adults are in their own emotions. Blocking out true emotion and making things so complicated, when Max just sat down next to whoever was feeling bad, even if they were angry with him, and talked it out. Those child-eyes cure everything.
The simplicity of pure, unadulterated emotion, and the complexity at the same time. When it seems like everything can be solved by being genuine and truthful, can it? It always feels that way to me, but in the end, people are clouded by their emotions. Their anger. Things that need to be said don't come out right, or don't come out at all. An unwillingness for confrontation postpones conversations that need to be had.
I am guilty of all these things. Does this mean I should be more like a child?

Oh I can post a comment, sweet!
ReplyDeleteI agree. And I am guilty of doing those things too... I can't talk, I'm afraid if people do I will be too much of a downer to them. It's surprising how many people have problems, because everyone hides them. We feel worse because we're lead to believe we are alone in our problems, even though we aren't.
Yeah, I don't often talk about my real problems because I feel like it would be worse to involve someone else and make the whole situation messy with emotions.
ReplyDeleteBut I don't think Max has depression. Ohoho!
