Day 86 ~ Impact

When in the depths of despair, nothing like imagining what the world would be like had we not been born. That is the plot of It's a Wonderful Life, a movie that is as old as my mother but never out of fashion. We summoned our friends today to watch it together. An interesting aspect of the film is that the villain doesn't redeem himself, as it is the case in many other movies. I like the idea because it reminds me that we should not count on evil disappearing, but lay it all on ourselves to make of this a better world. And that is the key principle of the movie: the plot premise stands as long as we actually make a difference in the lives of those around us.
