Being Grateful - The Movie
How Disney's 'Soul' explores the depths of gratitude
In a possible infinte universe it’s a miracle to be given a body in time and space. I deeply believe that life is a gift, despite how hard it can be on some of us. The ability to be grateful for that gift is one of the most important bases for me to judge character off of and I think everyone should do the same. Gratitude is only possible from a position of humility and for me to trust someone I need to know that he or she doesnt feel like the world belings to them, but that they belong to the world. That they are in debt to the circumstance put into place for them to excist in the first place.
I don’t believe in the reality of the concepts of the afterlife and the ‘before’ as depicted in ‘Soul’, but that’s also not the point. It’s a very tale. It’s not about any reality of the characters or plot, it’s about the truth that this story puts to light, that no matyer what you believe: be grateful for what was given to you and be aware that noone ows you the realisation fo your potential. “I could have been a great artist” doesn’t count because you were never promised to be one - that’s something that came up with. You dont have the right to turn 100, so be grateful you had 92 awesome years.
I would recommend people that are wrestling with death on a daily basis to watch ‘Soul’ and be humbled by it.
