What movie blew your mind when you first saw it?

 

One movie that truly blew my mind when I first saw it was "Inception." Directed by Christopher Nolan, "Inception" is a mind-bending science fiction film that explores the concept of shared dreaming and the manipulation of dreams.

The film's intricate plot, thought-provoking concepts, and stunning visual effects left a lasting impact on me. The way it delved into the layers of dreams within dreams, blurring the lines between reality and the subconscious, was mind-boggling. The film challenged my perception of what is possible within the realm of storytelling and showcased Nolan's exceptional ability to create complex narratives.

Additionally, "Inception" featured a talented ensemble cast, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, and Tom Hardy, who delivered captivating performances and added depth to their characters. The film's blend of action, suspense, and philosophical undertones kept me engaged throughout and left me contemplating the nature of reality long after the credits rolled.

Overall, "Inception" not only entertained me but also sparked my fascination with exploring the boundaries of the human mind and the nature of perception. It was a cinematic experience that expanded my horizons and continues to be a film that I hold in high regard.

What is the worst thing killing society mentally right now?

While it is subjective and depends on various factors, one significant challenge impacting society's mental well-being is the prevalence and negative influence of misinformation.

Misinformation refers to false or misleading information that is disseminated and shared widely, particularly through online platforms and social media. It can range from conspiracy theories and pseudoscience to distorted news and manipulated facts. Misinformation can create confusion, sow division, and erode trust in institutions, which can have detrimental effects on individuals' mental health and societal cohesion.

The spread of misinformation can contribute to anxiety, fear, and uncertainty among individuals, as they struggle to distinguish between what is true and false. Misinformation can also amplify existing biases, perpetuate stereotypes, and fuel social and political tensions, leading to increased polarization and hostility within society.

Moreover, misinformation can hinder collective decision-making and problem-solving by distorting public understanding of important issues such as health, science, and politics. This can impede efforts to address critical challenges like public health crises, climate change, and social inequality, further exacerbating societal stress and mental strain.

Addressing misinformation requires a multi-faceted approach involving media literacy education, critical thinking skills, responsible journalism, and transparent communication from trusted sources. By promoting accurate information, fostering digital literacy, and encouraging critical analysis, we can combat the negative impact of misinformation and work towards a healthier, more resilient society.

 

You meet your 13 year old self, but can only tell them 3 words, what do you say and why?

 

"Embrace your uniqueness."

I would choose these three words because they encompass an important lesson I have learned over the years. As a 13-year-old, I struggled with fitting in and often felt insecure about my differences. However, as I grew older, I realized that embracing my uniqueness was the key to my happiness and success.

By telling my younger self to "embrace your uniqueness," I would be encouraging them to accept themselves fully, including their quirks, interests, and talents. I would want them to know that it's okay to be different and that their individuality is what makes them special.

This message would also serve as a reminder to my younger self to stay true to their authentic self and not try to mold themselves into someone they're not just to please others. It's important to embrace and celebrate one's unique qualities because they contribute to personal growth, creativity, and fulfillment in life.

Overall, these three words carry a powerful message that I believe would have a profound impact on my younger self, empowering them to embrace their true self and navigate their journey with confidence and self-acceptance.

I'm sorry my Inspector Osaigbovo

 I remember how you loved me. I remember how I was the center of your universe. I remember how you made me feel, like I was the best that could ever be. But I pushed you away. I took you for granted, I thought you’d never leave; because how could you love me so immensely and then just stop? it didn’t make sense then that I could completely demolish someone’s love, until I did.

I never meant for this to happen, I never wanted to push you away. but I misused the love you gave me. I fed my ego with it. I selfishly filled every void within me with your love, and it was never enough. You were every void and every piece of me. You were everything and everyone. But I never realized that until you left. I took from you without thinking about you.

I was selfish and I was ignorant to you and your feelings.

I’d give anything to take that back.

I sincerely apologize to you.

I’m sorry for putting you second when you should’ve been first.

I’m sorry for making you wait all those months for me, when I could’ve simply not.

I’m sorry if I ever made you doubt your love to me, because you couldn’t have loved me any better.

I’m sorry I pushed you away, because now I’d give anything just to have you back.

I’m sorry I was ungrateful of you, but you are the best thing that has ever happened to me.

I’m sorry for not appreciating all that you’ve done.

I’m sorry if I ever made you feel like a burden.

I’m sorry I took you for granted, when I should’ve given you the world instead.

But most of all, I’m sorry I couldn’t love you the way you loved me before now.

If things could change, If you could let me love you, I’ll never let you go. I’ll never break your heart, I’ll give you all I have, and I’ll love you with all my heart, unconditionally.

Looking back on our past together, I often wonder how you were ever so patient with me. I never realized just how lucky I was to have you in my life, until I tried to imagine life without you.

As I sit here, I want to say how sorry I am for taking your love for granted. When I think about how many times I might have lost you, it brings tears to my eyes.

Your love is so unconditional and pure, like the beautiful person you are. You’ve always accepted me as who I am, making sacrifices for me and ever giving of yourself. When I think about the love you’ve given to me, it overwhelms me. No matter what it takes, I promise you, I will spend till the end of all time loving you the way you deserve. I love you so deeply and I never want to take the chance of losing you again.

People don't know what marriage is.

 

They think the purpose of marriage is to be happy. They have no idea what they are committing to. Every time a young couple asks me how I stayed married for so long, my answer is like this:

When you get married, you are saying you want to share someone's life with them. When they stop wanting sex, you're going to be ok with that. When they get cancer, you're going to nurse them. When they can't walk, you're going to wipe their ass.

Marriage isn't about being happy. It's about finding happiness in the duty of commitment and building a business/life/family with another person.

For those of you with healthy relationships with parents, when your parents don't make you happy you don't dump them. You don't go get more parents. You don't even imagine that. Mom and Dad are your parents forever. Marriage is the same. Your wife/husband is your family forever.

That doesn't change until their there is abuse/danger/destruction and you've tried and failed to help them (not too much). Addiction, repeated adultery (I think someone confessing can be fixed, someone getting caught cannot, repeat offenses are too much), physical abuse, constant debasement and name calling are all grounds for cutting the cord.

The same as with parents.

The problem most people have with marriages that fail is that they go in thinking, "This person will make me happy." The fuck they will. That person is going to change. You married an athlete?? Watch them get fat, melt, and decide to pursue music. You married a stay at homebody bookworm? Woops! Now they think they want to pursue acting! You think they are going to cook and be clean - uh oh - they have cancer and now you do EVERYTHING because you are a live in nurse.

Frankly, if that scares you at all, you should not get married. Because you aren't signing on for happiness. You are signing on for sharing human life, and a human life is a complete chaotic crazy mess.

 

It's okay to always be the one to initiate contact with a friend. Just because they don't reach out to you first doesn't mean they don't like you or want to hang out with you.

 It's okay to always be that friend who starts up the conversation. Never assume they don't like you or don't want to spend time with you just because they don't text you first or invite you to things. Don't ever tell yourself that without evidence to back it up.

It's a two-way street and they want to feel accepted and feel like they belong just like you do, at least to some degree. You reaching out tells the other person that they are important to you. This boosts your self-esteem for stepping out of your comfort zone and helps them feel more confident in themselves. Double win and you get to spend time with a friend.

A man in New York walked into the produce section of his local supermarket and asked to buy half a head of cabbage.

 

The boy working in that department told him that they only sell whole heads of cabbage. 

The man was insistent that the boy ask the manager about the matter...

Walking into the back room, the boy said to the manager, "Some old b***** outside wants to buy half a head of cabbage."

As he finished his sentence, he turned around to find that the man had followed and was standing right behind him, so the boy quickly added, "...and this gentleman kindly offered to buy the other half."

The manager approved the deal and the man went on his way.

Later, the manager said to the boy, "I was impressed with the way you got yourself out of that situation earlier, we like people who can think on their feet here, where are you from son?"

"Brazil, sir." the boy replied.

"Why did you leave Brazil?" the manager asked.

The boy said, "Sir, there's nothing but prostitutes and soccer players there."

"Is that right?" replied the manager. "My wife is from Brazil!"

"Really?" replied the boy. "Who did she play for?"
