One good movie

I just finished The Butterfly Effect, and I was very impressed. When a movie can make you question life/society/anything that to me is what makes a great film. The premise of the plot is that Even (Aston Kutcher) can go back into his past and change certain events, only to have those changes change the way his adult life has shaped out. For someone like myself who for a long time played the "what if" game, I am thankful that I was unable to get my wished granted. Much like Garth Brook's song, Unanswered Prayers life is a mysterious journey. Is it us who determines our own life pattern? Is it destiny, a plan that is already laid out by the hands of God himself? Is it a mixture of the two? Is it wrong already that I feel that I have found the so-called secret of life, or could it be a blessing that many do not figure out until thier days have passed them by?

In my opinion, the secret of life is that you must make the best of what you have for as long as you can. There is nothing you can do to change the events leading up to the situation you are currently in, the best you can do is to evolve from the present. The greatest part of all of this is that it is a personal power to choose to stay in the pattern of life that has been given to you, or do what you can to change the future.

If some higher power mapped my life out for me, or if it was the upbringing of my parents in addition to the choices I have made for myself to put me where I am today I am thankful either way. Could I have done things better, why yes indeed, is everything in my life perfect, I'm afraid not. With that being said, I don't think I could be happier right now to have what I do.
