I've been watching too many war flicks. But I realised, I don't like watching violence all too much, especially when it's needless violence used for the shock factor. Featuring someone bludgeoning an enemy soldier to death with a baseball bat is just one of those. Was that even really necessary. A gun would have achieved the same end purpose. But of course this is war, and in war, hatred and violence are the driving motives.

It's always nice to see love taking over now and then. Perrier LaPadite turn over the Jews he was sheltering in his house to the Germans in Inglourious Basterds will probably haunt me for a long time. His tears hinted at his horror of what he had done. But his love for his daughters nudged him to work with the Germans, to obtain protection for them. Maybe it's just my imagination, projecting what I want to believe to be the truth onto the show. But I genuinely believe thats what the show wanted to portray.

Bulgaria's Abandoned Children.

Just finished watching this documentary. Reduced me to a pile of tears and a bundle of hatred for the soulless 'social workers'. I don't think I will ever understand how humans can be so callous. How could you see a child in pain, in complete need of care, of love and yet treat him/her as cattle, and walk away after manhandling them. It is not the lack of stimulation. It is the lack of love that has left the children in this state of despair. Didi still has so much hope to one day see her mom and love for someone who abandoned and condemned her to a life of misery. She says she's happy but always, the lingering shot shows that sadness in her eyes. She knows, her mom isn't coming back for her. But if one day her mom came, she would jump straight back into her arms. That's the problem with hope isn't it, that's the problem with humans. We want what hurts us. Hope is what kills us in the end.  Milen, the boy that never let his heart harden through all...

This is not the way i want my story to end

So tired of the routine. When will there be some spark in this life. I've lost so much dynamism over the years. Waiting for all this to end. Go out and live your life. Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end; Then the busy years went rushing by us, we lost our starry notions on the way
