Sometimes life moves too fast for our eyes to keep up.
And sometimes it moves so slow-we have time to study every detail as it slowly passes by. Lately-I've been feeling like a rushing train, hurtling towards an oblivion everyone makes entrance to-few survive and even fewer come out.The future.
It's cool and fun in the Astro Boy comics-where everything is black and white, literally. Wrong is wrong and right is right and if you're ever confused just go ask the Professor and he will guide you in the way of right.
But then there's Forrest Gump who easily goes through four years of his life in two pages. So few words to describe so many seconds, minutes even hours hidden between lines on a page. He makes so many obvious mistakes, and people get so frustrated and before you know it he's on yet another adventure with some other career change and some weird goon trying to use him. I'm not an idiot-but it could be argued that Forrest wasn't an idiot. Or we're all idiots-and he's the smart one. Take your pick.
But then, to draw this little thesis to a close.
Is Ender Wiggin. He was all of these characters, the super boy of his time-meant to save the world from the wrong in it-to defend the "robots" people thought insubordinate. Others thought him an idiot because of his genius-can you imagine? The opposite of the opposite is the truth, If he's a genius who's an idiot who's really a genius, then he's merely a genius misunderstood. No?
Since we're talking about genius, I want to make mention of one dear character to my heart-who inspires me every time my thoughts rub against him inside my mind's home.
Simon.Simon is the genius who's an idiot who's a genius. And I am not talking about the City of Bones adorable character with unruly curly hair and round glasses-nice try.
No, I'm talking about Simon who teaches Monty (Brendan Fraser) more about life than any Harvard professor will ever be able to.
So, the question still stands-or better, what's just been said here.
As a genius-your ideas will be different. And they will be outlandish. Some of them might be stupid (like the aliens thing? Sorry, I'm not falling for it) and some of them may be ahead of their time. If you need proof, take Leonardo Da Vinci for example, or Ender Wiggin or Einstein, or Thomas Edison.If these people don't inspire you
Then you might need to locate your brain and plug it back in-cause your batteries so dead you need a little life back in your bones.
Now, thanks to "The Incredibles" I understand that if, "Everyone's special....No one will be".
Not everyone is going to be a genius.But that's how it's supposed to be.
C'est la Vie
God bless
