At the movies.

Mobile Blogging from here.

Watched 'The Reader' last night and enjoyed it. Was kind of like watching 'The Lover' and 'Schindler's List' in one movie which often brings out the Holocaust as a topic of conversation... In any case met a woman who went on and on about injustices and kept bringing it back to listening her rant on. She pissed off this other woman who's company I was enjoying who not too long into the conversation got up and left the table we were all sharing. I too left after a while and over heard the woman later go on about how people just don't want to hear the truth... To that I wish the woman would have stopped to listen to my point which I believed was an important point in the movie that most people have enough trouble dealing with their own lives to help others. Not to say that we should be ignorant but I guess more to say 2 things really. Firstly, pick your battles because most people really get few chances in life to truly effect change so be prepared for that chance instead of spreading your self thin and never being focused enough to do any thing at all. Secondly, life isn't as simple as black or white. Unless you have truly walked in another person's shoes you really will not be able to properly judge another person's actions...
