I was watching a movie last night. I liked the film because it was a cool concept. The bad thing about cool concept films, is often the film could have been better. This one was an exception through. The only thing I didn't really like was the last 7 minutes or so. It was about a philosophy class. It was their final test before they graduated. The class had to choose which of them would survive a nuclear fallout by being selected to live in a bunker, while the radiation secedes.The instructor handed out cards giving them careers. Some of the careers would not be so helpful in the new world. They went through the hypothetical situation three times. I'm not going to go into further detail. If you want to check it out and I really recommend you do, it's called "After the dark"
Anyway's it really got me thinking, what would I bring to the table in the "new world"? I could write stories to inspire and entertain the others. I have been known to motivate people, so that could help. Keeping people hopeful for a better future, keeps them from becoming depressed and eventually killing themselves. I would probably just give up my spot to someone more qualified to help rebuild civilization. I can't really say that through, because a situation like that has never arisen. I do believe I have it in my heart to do so. Sacrificing yourself could never be an easy decision though.
Another thing that it got me to think about was just life in general. A lot of the things that seem so important to us in this modern era, would serve us no purpose in a desolate earth. Things like clothing labels; in a desolate world you'd be happy with wearing anything. Social media would be non-existent, and some people have no idea how to interact without electronics. I know some people would not know how to cope. and would eventually go crazy.
Ahhh, this is the end i guess. Sorry I haven't been able to think clearly lately. I will get more content out to you guys and girls in the coming weeks. I'll be back either tomorrow or on Monday for more blogger madness! Peace! Remember kids; When in despair, eat a gummy bear!
