inception
Sunday, August 01, 2010
i managed to find time to watch inception. and it was good enough to trigger this post.
i didn't particularly enjoy the movie; i found it more scary and overwhelming instead.
the concept of introducing a thought into your dream and subconscious mind, and allowing it to grow into something so strong that it cannot be removed at all...it's just too scary.
you see, throughout history, there had been many examples where a simple thought turned out to a radical and dangerous one, and much violence and conflict ensued. even for myself, i've been preoccupied by a certain thought for many years and until today, i have trouble trying to eradicate it.
i'm still at a loss of words now. we know how powerful thoughts can be, how thoughts can evolve into action and how actions can eventually evolve into habits. yet how it is portrayed in the movie...the mere reality of it is...overwhelming.
maybe i have lost my touch in words. or my ink doesn't flow anymore. whichever the case, we cannot and must not belittle the power of a single thought. it may or may not be expressed in words; it may be just floating somewhere in your subconscious mind. but when it decides to find a place in reality, you may find that the thought has planted its roots for so long a time that it is impossible to eradicate.
