A Heavy Movie

So this weekend was suppose to be watching Jumper, but ended up watching The Other Boleyn girl instead.

It was, as fellow Brazilian grill eater called it, a very 'heavy' movie. The plot was simple, but it was played out very nicely.

So here were two sisters, one who preferred the simple life and had no ambitions, and another who had ambitions and the drive to do anything. The sister with ambition, goes through various ordeals and acquires the skills to get what she wants. She manages to grasp at the impossible, becomes the queen of England, and attains everything that she desired. In the end though, she loses everything - even her life, because of the very trait that made her successful.

But how will someone know when they are going too far. The mentality of the successful is not 'IF' you can do it, but 'HOW' you can do it. There is really no checks and balances when you start thinking from a 'HOW' perspective...is there? It is inevitable that if you continually define the 'HOW's properly and gain success after success, you will end up going too far. To others it will be clearly obvious, but is it obvious to this person who is executing the 'HOW's?... Probably not...

Hrmm...
