I was merely quoting the movie's answer, somewhat annoyed that someone wants to turn this into a pity pary.

The movies express a point of view that I do in fact agree with in many aspects, but also disagree with. I do believe there is more to life than what the majority of humanity makes it and that certain elect see things differently and therefore make more or more accurately enjoy more of what they have been given.

I also believe that many aspects of every society, especially American, focus on things that are not real. This in effect traps many people in a "prison for their mind." I don't make enough money, I am not beautiful enough, I am not talented enough, I am not popular enough, etc.... People need to wake up and smell the coffee (my personal favorite drink) or whatever it is that they have been given and enjoy it to the fullest.

I do believe that ther is a plan for each of us laid out by a benevolent, omnisceint Creator, and that plan maximizes what each of us has been given. We fail because we choose the wrong direction for our lives. God exists and knows what is best for us, but does not force Himself or His plan upon us. He waits and knocks, offering what is best for us, but knowing we must accept the gift.

I wake up thankful every day, and hope that you do too.
