Don't Make Sense

I am blogging really early this morning because I am going to the mall early to finish my Christmas shopping. My mother has to work really early today too.

I wanted to blog about a movie that I watched last night. I didn't expect too much from it because I haven't heard anything about it but it was such a beautifully made film. It made me think and cry, as well.

The movie that I am talking about was Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close. Without giving too much away, the little boy loses his father in the World Trade Center on 9/11. During the movie, he comes to grips with the loss through trying to find out about something that he believes his father left him.

Needless to say, it is a heartwrenching film...

The scene that really stood out to me was a scene in which his mother and him are arguing and at the end of the argument, his mother says to him, "There are some things in this life that don't make sense. Some things will never make sense."

As an engineer, I try to make sense of everything. During my state of paranoia and psychosis, I tried desperately to make sense of everything that was going on in my mind. But I have learned myself that some things don't make sense.

Sometimes things are better left misunderstood...
