What a sad, empty life people are living!



It is incredible to me that these societies of the West have become so self centered, so self absorbed, so... empty. Having it all, cars, houses, money, the best schools in the world, seemingly having it all, at the same time are so empty and everyone is in the same boat.

People go to these festivals and they applaud films that portray what everyone is going thru, but no one wonders if there is anything else in life.

These films portray people as if all they can do is live, die and that is it. In them they sell the idea that it is the norm to have an absolute existential vacuum. It seems as if life is devoided of meaning, of ultimate and greater purpose. Wow!

Indeed, this is a godless society, where there is not good, to bad, no wrong, no right... just relativism, convenience, survival of the fittest.

Where is purpose? Where is life after this one....?

Where is God?

It is sooooo sad!!

No. I'm not the one who is trying to negotiate with ghosts. Who is your god btw? Allah, Vishnu or maybe Ukko Yli-Jumala?

My God is the same as your God. The eternal, Great I Am. The sovereign, autonomous Lord of all, whom is above reproach. The God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. The God of love, forgiveness, freedom and mercy. The God of wrath and judgement. The perfect God of righteousness. The God of salvation and redemption, The God that gave you the right to hate him which you clearly do. He will even use your hate to draw you to him (as He is doing now) believe it or not. You know about Him and you know your choice. It's ok to admit that He is bigger, stronger and higher than you and that He cannot be explained, proven or dis-proven. You KNOW that He's here and He's calling out to you and it's ok. Cast your pride aside and surrender. You're in good hands.

God is the devil. A hateful, sadistic psychopath who tortures, kills and molests for fun.

Nobody has ever needed a god to live a moral and proper life, but everybody needs a god to be able to hate, hurt or harm.

God is the personification of evil in the world.

Wow five years passed and I am commenting on this,but first time reading something absolutely wonderful on imdb.Yes,most of the movies in Hollywood give us this 'picture' that how perfect their life is,and how much replenished their life is with all the world class accessories,but still there's this vacuum in their life.There is still something missing,and then boys or girls of 12-15yrs go on in their quest of having that 'missing parts' through wrong means,either through something totally desperate or something degrading.And cinemas,always,I mean really till now,they 'beautify' these pain/sorrows,and add poignant,thoughtful quotes,ramblings,with music and visuals,so people 'feel the pain'/romanticize with the idea of unfulfillment for two hours or less.These movies,as always never give a message.Most of the time there would be some lines of hopes added at the epilogue,and that's it.
