TGIF!

Today is looking like it is going to be a perfect summer.spring day here in the "north country". When I say perfect I mean it is so nice out that you can literally walk out in a t-shirt and it isn't too hot or too humid. Perfect! I love this weather and I wish I could take some of it with me to Osaka, Japan.

Last weekend I watched a wonderful movie called, The Way Home. It is a Korean film that deals with a young mother in the midst of sever money troubles, who leaves her son at her mother's house while she looks for a new job. Here is a small glipse into the story:

"More accustomed to the luxuries of the modern world, a spoiled seven-year old boy must stay with his old-fashioned grandmother in a small rural village while his mother looks for work. At first Sang-woo rudely rejects his grandmother's way of life. But gradually, through her constant show of kindness and love, he learns to accept and understand the simple pleasures of nature and her lifestyle. Sang-woo leaves the village a different boy. Because of his grandmother, he sees the world around him with a new found respect and appreciation. "

I would highly recomend this title as I found it very moving. I have come away from this movie really understanding that what has ruined america and a lot of other places, including Japan, is that people have lost contact from where we have come from. Nowadays it seems like everyone thinks that money grows on trees when if fact that they have no idea of what it is like to have to go without money, as depicted in The Way Home.

Well this is a little glipse into my unified theory about people.
