the curious case of benjamin button

went to watch this show yesterday ad i felt that this show is quite thought-provoking. the main idea of growing younger is already quite interesting. so often man just wanted to stay young but the idea of becoming younger when the rest of the world grows old is even worse too (at least for me). Perhaps that's why God chose to let us grow old instead. Achieving your dreams is also one of the major theme as it encourages us to pursue our dreams no matter how young/old we are. the carefree lives of the characters in this show really makes me envious. they just live from day to day and yet they can live their lives to the fullest, fulfilling their dreams... it seems impossible here where all of us are so stuck to our jobs for a living. the comic element of the show is probably the man who shared about how he was struck by lightning 7 times... though it seemed cruel, but i laughed at each time he mentioned about how he was struck. Once when he was in a car, once when he dropped a letter at a mail box, once when he was farming... I was quite amused. But he also shared of how life is so precious as he treasured his life even more after every incident. I thought it really makes lots of sense. somehow we need such incidents as reminders to value our lives. Do watch it if you have the time. :)

When will my help comes?

What happens when one grows weary and tired of this life?
Does one choose to run away from its troubles and live in denial?
Or does one just have to submit helplessly to this wretched fate?
Facing it is too much to bear and every bit of life dies with each moment.
How does one reconcile his situation with God's promises?
Does waiting and trusting promises hope?
i am sure many christians struggle with questions of life.
all these questions have no explicit solutions.
i wonder how God decides the life of each individual goes through.
