Movie Festival

Attended HELP Psychology Dept.'s movie festival today and watched a movie titled "Joe Somebody". The movie itself wasn't anything spectacular, but it carries some messages which were quite meaningful.

What's more important when you're in an hostility situation with another person? To beat the crap out of him physically or to let him beat the hell out of you win over his heart and respect? The protagonist chooses the latter option, and he make up with the bully in the end. Respect is not something which you can demand from others, but its something that others gave to you willingly.

Another message was that some people are trying way too hard to be somebody without realizing they are unique in their own ways, and while some people might not appreciate such uniqueness and criticize that person, but those who knows how to appreciate will certainly value that person's character, and this is much more important than any other views from others that can't appreciate you rite?

As such, conformity can be bad at times and it could cause us to lose the unique self in us. I always believe that people who appreciate you will respect you more when you're trying to be yourself, but in a good way of cos.
