Our Idiot Brother

It's so hard to write after such a long time of silence... words are somehow stuck somewhere halfway through and thoughts are just racing... Yet something clear and vivid comes out of all this chaos and so today I want to write about Truth. All the shapes and sizes of it and how “harmful” it is to live by it : ) I have watched this great film recently, called “Our Idiot Brother”, and honestly I had no idea, that my first entry after a break would be about comedy, but it is, so deal with it : ) I watched it simply because I wanted something with an uplifting mood. Oh, I got it... as well as the reminder of the most important and most simple lesson in my life. 
Of course we all say, that we are good people and we speak the truth and live by it, all those tiny little lies don't mean a thing... BUT! There comes a time, when You're just sick of it and You don't want ANY untruthful word coming out o Your mouth... or anyone else's. With an open heart and pure honesty I admit, that I want to be friends with the main character of that film. The way he treats life with compassion, friendship and always- the truth is simply breathtaking. He manages to keep his childish innocence in a world that is filled with lies. Almost every product, service is a lie just to make us feel better, every relationship- with little secrets, every carrier with sacrifices... And why oh why, we- intelligent humans build our selves up with these walls? Life is and can be much more simple than that, and that simplicity is truly capable of making us happy. Not the money, not the jobs, not the things. Simplicity in every step we make. Every word said with love and compassion to one another, every action made with dignity and passion for good, every thought born out of curiosity what this life really is about, love grown not out of the need to be with someone, but from love it self- love to all living things. It is still not a very long time, I'm living without lies... it's not really easy at first... It's hard to admit things to Your self, that You're not proud of... it's hard to tell someone the truth, that might not be pleasant, it's quite difficult to start telling the truth to Your self and understand what You really want from Life. And sometimes it's really hard to admit, that what You really want from Life is the smallest thing people can imagine, and yet that's what You want and it means the world to You... Truth is a gentle, yet a little sad creature... it has everything, that a living thing can have inside- anger, love, hate, pain, memories, dreams... Sometimes it comes with a cup of tea and gently speaks with You until You cry Your heart out, and sometimes it even bites and leave You scars... But I chose no other creature to live with me. So, I recommend to watch “Our Idiot Brother”and live happy lives with pure honesty...
