"Sometimes we're on a collision course, and we just don't know it. Whether it's by accident or by design, there's not a thing we can do about it" says Mr. Button as he explains through a series of events that how life sometimes plays with you and you seem to be helpless.
His explaination though dramatic made me realize my present state and my collision course. He was lucky enough to live his life backwards and die as a child. Atleast better than living life in a circle and dieing the same death every week. Now time has lost its meaning in my life. What really matter are the days. If its Monday life seems to be young, challenging but cumbersome and tiring. Once its thursday it turns into a rush to get over with it on friday and then there is a full stop, an age of darkness begins as every thing seems to be dull and hazy for complete two days. I get lost, this world seems to have no meaning for me and in my grave I rest (don't know if it is with peace) but I ressurect two days later from my own grave to get born again on monday. Sounds indeed like a miracle. A miracle that made Jesus a mesiah but what if this miracle would have happened to him every week. Would he still have attained this status of being GOD, would people still go to church on every sunday to pay there homage to the greatest miracle on this Earth. If yes then I am on the same path. But that's not going to happen because there seems to be no 'break;' statement in this loop.
Talking of loops and circles reminds me of Mahabharat where Dhananjay was the only one who knew to survive the circles of death, that time known as 'Chkravyuha'. But I suppose times have changed now. It seems, Dhananjay like Abhimanyu just knows how to enter into the 'Chkravyuha' but is ignorant of how to exit. This loop which starts on monday and goes upto friday is just the inner loop and as of now is without a break; statement. I really pray to GOD that this Dhananjay of present soon finds a way out of all the loops and emerge as a worthy of this name.
As Mr Benjamin Button in the movie, in a letter wrote to his daughter , I wish the same for my life and my collision course:
"For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again". Amen
