28 ottobre Being ThereThis is an old movie of 70s, but a good one. This simple story of Chance (the gardener) tells a lot in my eyes - most importantly, how many of us do keep the fundamental in mind? The rule of nature, the Tao, or whatever you name it? Just like the following conversation among President "Bobby", Chance, and Ben.
President "Bobby": Mr. Gardner, do you agree with Ben, or do you think that we can stimulate growth through temporary incentives?
[Long pause] Chance the Gardener: As long as the roots are not severed, all is well. And all will be well in the garden. President "Bobby": In the garden. Chance the Gardener: Yes. In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again. President "Bobby": Spring and summer. Chance the Gardener: Yes. President "Bobby": Then fall and winter. Chance the Gardener: Yes. Benjamin Rand: I think what our insightful young friend is saying is that we welcome the inevitable seasons of nature, but we're upset by the seasons of our economy. Chance the Gardener: Yes! There will be growth in the spring! Benjamin Rand: Hmm! Chance the Gardener: Hmm! President "Bobby": Hm. Well, Mr. Gardner, I must admit that is one of the most refreshing and optimistic statements I've heard in a very, very long time. [Benjamin Rand applauds] President "Bobby": I admire your good, solid sense. That's precisely what we lack on Capitol Hill. At last, as President "Bobby" said, "Life is a state of mind", which is very true; but more interestingly, the tagline of this movie goes, "Getting there is half the fun; being there is all of it" ... Are we merely getting there, or being there?
