The Misadventure in BullehLand

I watched the movie Know1ng few days ago, I do not agreethat Know1ng is a very good movie but the story really catches my attention. Tomake it short, I dissect the plot from wikipedia

“In 2009, the time capsule is opened and the drawings aregiven to the current students. A boy named Caleb receives Lucinda's envelope.

His father John Koestler, a widower and professor of astrophysics at MIT takesnotice in the paper, and further examination makes him realize that part ofthese digits form dates and death tolls of every major disaster over the pastfifty years, in chronological order, and suggests three disasters yet to come.”(Souce: Wikipedia)

Well, just as the movie ended something caught my mind andit kept pondering about it. Are we living fragile on earth, not knowing whatwill happen tomorrow or day after that. Coincidence on that day I saw themovie, it was the 2nd year that something major happened to myfamily. There were unexpected events that put me on a major shocked andsetback, does not know what to do being the pillar of the family together withmy sister. All the while, we have been hoping that our parents will do somethingwhen we have encountered a problem. Things got worst when dad passed away twomonths later; we were all unprepared to take over the charge from our latedaddy. Unprepared – that’s the word.

Back to the plot and reconnecting it with our daily life,what will it be if we can read or predict the future. Are we going to fully makeuse of the supremacy and change the history? Thence I don’t need to worry aboutthe future, just like working on something by knowing the root cause andpermanent solution prior fixing it. Simple, even kids can do it.  

On the other hand, I think God himself is a real joker…therecould be no such thing as a person to predict the future. Even a fortune tellerdoes not guarantee anything about that. God just want us to encounter and learnfrom the torment moments. It is our human nature to learn from the hardship, asnothing comes like just a spur-of-the-moment of your finger. I am not sure ifyou do believe that but I’ve learnt life hardest lesson in lieu of the hardshipthat I’ve been through.

Yesterday early morning, I got a call from Mary “John’sheartbeat stopped” and it just made my life stopped for a moment not knowinghow to responds to such news. Although I personally don’t know much about Johnbut being Mary’s brother I felt like losing someone close to us. Like the wholeposting is all about…things happen unprepared. May his departed soul rest inpeace. Amen.
