If you can learn to live in peace with the past, or just let the grief burn your soul alive?
Sometimes we hold on to the grief so hard that we're becoming unreasonable, forgetting that whatever we do would never chagne the past but we still insist of comminting it. at the end of the day, nothing change and we are still deeply in grief.
"Murder On the Orient Express" might not be the best movie of the year. But seeing those movie stars altogether was an enjoyable moment. That's only the best part of the whole movie, I would say.
But I'm not here to criticize the movie. I'm writing this because of the plot, the grieft which I could feel througout the story. The grieft which could convice those character to commit a crime.
Why? Grieft? Guilt? Was it necessary to be vigilante? I can't truely say that I understand the feeling of loosing someone so dear to you that way but I understand the feeling of the agony, feeling of revenge. Out of anger, people tend to do something unreasonable, stupid at the time to regret doing it afterward. I was that kind of person once.
I was deeply in pain and I couldn't think of anything but to have a little vengeance just to satisfy that furious heart of mine.I did what I thought it's something I should do. But my heart was still burning, the anger didn't ease out. When I confessed to someone what I did, he told me to apologize to that person. He said, "I know that you are not the bad person. What you just did wouldn't make you any happier but it would consume your soul with guilt." then he add, "Apologize to them babe. For you own peaceful mind." So I did apologize. He's right in some sense. The way I was treated by those people was their choice. I didn't have to be like them, to act like them, to seek revenge. It wouldn't make anything good, it wouldn't change the truth, and definitely it wouldn't change the past.
No matter it's a well-planned, like in the movie, or the small revenge, you can't get away with it. Nobody can get away of a crime they commit, you will be punished in any way.
From that experience, I've never done any revenge again ever. It didn't do me any good. The brief feeling of satisfaction can't compare to the peace of mind.
So, it's your decision to make and your choice to choose...
