Do we live in a world that is meaningful and makes sense?
I would have to say no, the world doesn’t make sense . I feel for us to live in a world that makes sense, we would all have to understand each other so there would be no misunderstandings. However, I feel the world is meaningful because it doesn’t make sense. I saw a very interesting quote from Nikki C. on the classroom board today. I can’t really remember what it said but it was something along the lines of if we understand the meaning of life, then what's the point of it? I feel it sums up exactly how I feel about this question. There are many things we don’t understand in this world. How did we get here? How do we exists? These are questions mankind can’t truly answer because the answers are unknown. But if we understood everything in this world, what would be the point? The world wouldn’t be mysterious anymore, I feel life would become boring. However in the movie I heart Huckabee’s, it seems all Albert want’s to do is answer these questions. I think he want to live in a world that makes sense (I’m not entirely sure I missed a third of the movie). He’s always asking Bernard and Vivian all these questions, he seems confused and looks for the answers through his other friends and himself. But what I think he learns in the end is that you just have to live life. He seemed more understanding at the end of the movie when he saw himself in Brad which I think was a message that we can all connect. It’s true, everyone can connect to each other some how even if it is unknown at the time, what I am wondering is why it was so important to Albert. i think it was because he felt that he didn’t get Brad’s way of life at all. He seemed to be all about himself which confused Albert. But once he saw Brad break down at the scene of his home going into flames, he realized that he now was in pain just like Albert. Overall this movie confused me. Many of the things that happened or were said didn’t make much sense to me, but thats also what I liked about the movie. The parts I didn’t understand kept me thinking and amused which is what I think the mysterious of life are here for, to keep man kind guessing.
