And before you laugh and deem me as cheesy as the cream in Philadelphia, you should know that it provides something many other "big time" movies can't, and won't ever provide. (Thats negative optimism) You know the plot, you know the story-line, no surprises here. But what you don't know, or what you fail to recognize everyday, is the absolutist philosophy of love. (auf deutsch, lieben)
So for those of you who find an interest in "changing the world", listen up.
In the film, Evan Baxter (Steve Carell) lives and operates purely on the ambitious adage, "Changing the world" as a newly elected congressmen to Capitol Hill. Plans are following though, his life is falling into place, the blue prints match, the car is big and the house is bigger. All this comes to a halt when God (Morgan Freeman) marches onto the scene, or more appropriately, makes his face known (he's always been on the set). Most importantly, he's got different plans.
Now before this turns into rottentomatoes.com, i'm gonna stop pretexting for the post-text, which might not ever get read in the first place if i don't get to my TEXT.
The following statement should have been the films' flagship tag-line because it so eloquently hit me as the definition of:
success, talent, creativity, progression, actualization, inspiration, meaningfulness, purposefulness, etc.
A Random act of Kindness
What is so magnomonious about that? Look closer, change the weather, act better. Opportunity is right around the bend.

dude, this is great stuff...ive got to admit, i enjoy your writing. i like when you got to the "TEXT" and broke it all down to one simple concept..."a random act of kindness"
i saw this movie a few weeks ago and loved it for that exact reason. i walked away with a new willingness to want to serve, rather than feeling obligated to do so.
keep writing man...love the thought, creativity, and witty sense with which you write. love ya bro.
