The Master

This Movie have the ability to evoke a profound sense of empathy for flawed, searching souls reminding us that the quest for understanding and connection is often fraught with confusion and pain. It left me contemplative, haunted by its characters’ vulnerabilities and the unsettling beauty of their imperfect humanity. It’s a meditation on the complexities of human nature an emotionally resonant experience that lingers long after viewing, encouraging reflection on our own quests for purpose and belonging.

A man needs novelty and usefulness in order to grow. He slips into a life devoid of meaning sans usefulness and never have a shot at knowing meaning sans novelty. A messy work is essential for novelty. Restoring orderliness to the created mess is essential for usefulness before you start the cycle again. Allowing mess to accumulate is seeking novelty without making it useful. Similarly, only striving for orderliness is to never try to glimpse at the novel.  Life is an interplay between mess and order. The real mastery is to be able to create both. He who has mastered this aspect of life is able to take risks, live, while still producing outcomes. He is neither reckless nor cautious in his approach to life. He lives and thrives maintaining perfect balance between his will and the nature.

Meditations and Other Metaphysical Writings

By René Descartes

But I cannot forget that, at other times I have been deceived in sleep by similar illusions; and, attentively considering those cases, I perceive so clearly that there exist no certain marks by which the state of waking can ever be distinguished from sleep, that I feel greatly astonished; and in amazement I almost persuade myself that I am now dreaming. I fear being shaken out of them because I am afraid that my peaceful sleep may be followed by hard labor when I wake, and that I shall have to struggle not in the light but in the imprisoning darkness of the problems I have raised.

But what then am I? A thing that thinks. What is that? A thing that doubts, understand, affirms, denies, wills, refuses, and that also imagines and senses.

Movie Recommendation

THE LIGHTHOUSE

Exploration of human vulnerability and the destructive allure of obsession. It’s a visceral experience that stirs a mixture of awe, discomfort, and introspection a haunting meditation on the darker corners of the human mind. While its slow pace and abstract symbolism willing to embrace its atmospheric depths will find a profoundly affecting film one that challenges and rewards in equal measure.
