Jim and Kate

How happy is the blameless Vestal’s lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sun-shine of the spotless mind!
Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resigned.

Watched this great movie last night...Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind...there have been few and far between that have appealed to me in more than one way...i wouldn't want to spoil the movie for anyone who read's this but...i wish you had seen it and i could say whatever i wanted to...anyway...the question arises...how would you react to life if you hadn't been hurt...or if you had been, you didn't remember...you know...had a clean slate...didn't have past experiences to have learnt from...just a pure, clean, fresh mind...nothing scared you...nothing to remind you of something else...didn't have anything corrupt your current experience...just the moment you were living....just 'now' to worry about...i think this a great movie because it makes you wonder...most of us have been 'burnt' in relationships...or non-relationships...just think if you didn't remember...would you approach...a new person...a new situation with as much caution as you do now? all relationships, when they end, suffer from a lack of trust...after the promise of a perfect future has evaporated...all the small things are magnified...until it becomes intolerable...what if you knew all the shortcomings...everything you would have to face...before the start...of that new relationship...and you could weigh it, compare it, with what the person standing in front of you had to offer...a new life...a new beginning...and the promise of love!
