To reward myself for (finally) completing my tax return, I went to the pictures yesterday to see Surrogates with Bruce Willis. The gist is that the world use surrogates that they control with their mind, so they never have to go anywhere…and they can be perfect in every way. The sad thing is that if this technology really were available, many of us would probably using it.
Imagine it – a world with no pain, no disease, no imperfection, no individuality, no life, no passion, no joy, no fun, okay, I can feel myself going into a rant so I’ll stop there. You see if we were all the same, all perfect, all homogenised it would suck all the life out of, well, LIFE! Are we put on this earth to be perfect? I don’t believe so.
I won’t be on my death bed thinking I should have had more botox or worn more makeup or been more like everyone else. I shall be there appreciating that I LIVED my life – that I laughed a lot, had a lot of fun and enjoyed the journey, spots, wobbly bits, imperfections and all. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to LIVE your life – to enjoy it to the fullest, to have the most fun you can have, and to laugh a LOT more. Oh, and for the A-level standard: embrace those imperfections – they’re what make us human.
Love
