I watch the Slomo video at least once a month. It's so beautiful. The comments about the video in the NYT are also interesting. Some people love Slomo and some people really don't. I can't understand how, even if you don't agree with Slomo, you can't acknowledge the beauty of the video and the personal reflection it inspires.
I've always been more interested in other people's feelings and perspectives as a "traveler" through life and not so much interested in the actual "sausage making". To me relevancy has always seemed so obviously fleeting.
Excerpts from a few different comments I left on the MMM "
Happiness Is The Only Logical Pursuit" blog post:
"Time after time the conventional messaging we are given has turned out to be untrue, manipulative, disingenuous, etc. At this point, aren’t we all absolved of having to believe or do anything but what we choose?"
"For every one of society’s “ought to’s” there are people entrapped and unhappy."
"We are all free agents…all the time…vive la difference."
"...we just have to maintain our awareness of other travelers and not interfere with their path."
