First, will just say that I’m not trying to imply anything here; it’s the middle of the night, I couldn’t sleep, and a thought just came to me which I wanted to share here, and get some feedback and perspective on from people who are no strangers to suffering, and that have spend considerable time contemplating. It hit a nerve in me, and sounds a lot like something I’ve been trying to turn and face for a while now… but I want to hear other opinions:
In the latest Mad Max film, Fury Road, there is one point where Max says to Furiousa, when she tells him she wants to try and cross the salt desert in search of a better place to live:
“You know, hope is a mistake. If you can’t fix what’s broken, you’ll go insane”.
The next day he stops them all just as the begin to ride out across the salt, makes them see that the green place is really back the way they came - something they already knew - and, although it would be a very difficult journey, that was the only way they’d get the redemption they were looking for.
I feel like each of us could probably write an essay about this concept in the film, and it’s relation to CFS… would be very interested to hear what people have to say…
