My preference for the positive

I enjoy watching movies that depict positive emotions, good communication skills, psychology of human emotions, identifying, understanding and expressing ones feelings, resolving conflicts etc.
Such movies stir up the positive emotions in me and make me feel good at the end.

That is why movies such as ‘Children of Heaven’ and ‘Nanne Jaisalmer’, which are about the ways of innocent children, have made great impact on me. I can watch these movies any number of times.

I like commercials, which show good understanding, tender love and kindness and trusting relationship.

I hero worship people who, I believe, have some of these good qualities and I long to be like them.

I don’t want to know if people have such negative thoughts and emotions depicted in Tamil serials where ordinary people like me scheme to destroy somebody, curse using such cruel words and even do not hesitate to murder to get what they want.

I cannot watch violence and display of anger even on the screen. It makes me uncomfortable. The fact that it is not for real doesn’t even register at that time.

Today I understood that actually it is I who live in a make believe, dream world, negating the reality. Because I believe the world should be all goody-goody, I get terribly disappointed when I learn all of it is not so.

I am aware that I am going through a process of evolution. Every day, every experience teaches me something new. If only I pay attention to it, register and understand the underlying message and learn from it I can grow.
